temptations

Hello,
this is the second week that my computers goes so annoingly slowly that i could hardly edit the pictures and "rush" with this post...i forced my right hand at my sons birthday and since than i'm having some problems with my thumb plus that we had Beethowen the 5th this week so ..not too much crocheting...still a few projects that i intend to do and some ready to show.i hope you all had a great week :)
Last weeks productions-some egg cosy trials-willing to do some more and better ones for Easter-

a bit of recycling -old t shirt into bottle cosy featuring some sawdust and paper mache beads

And this weeks attempt to do a lovely little dress that i found on Pinterest with free patterns-you may know this dress already as it is v popular-monpetitviolon's granny square dress.I had to make some changes and still learning as it is not coming out perfectly not because of the pattern but me.My yarn is different,perhaps thinner and the girly i'm making for has 4 years old...

Today we are celebrating my aunts 60th birthday so this collar was juuuuust perfect for the time i had for doing something special for her.Not perfect either.I missunderstood the patterns with the slip stich part so the collar looks different at its edges.I will probably make another because i loved it very much.Thank you very much for the patterns monpetitviolon and cre8tioncrochet http://www.cre8tioncrochet.com/2013/06/vintage-crochet-collar/!

 see the edge...this is where i made the mistake and came out wrong...so she will wear this part in the back..

 still with this thin yarn and 3.5mm hook came out very beautiful...i just love it.hopefully she will like it...

 this is how the collar was packaged-using recycled paper coming from a shoe box,stamped with the rubber stamp i made years ago and a quick paper flower made today!
Have a nice day!!!

lots of fun

Two days ago was my sons 10th birthday thats why it was so quite here but so loaded in the background.
Now i can breathe quietly and and happy that all went all right besides the fact that my husband missed the party as he caught a could and some viruses chained him to bad for two loooong days.All started with my little one who brought us home the trouble from kindergarten.pretty sure you know how it works...
A lot of work is not visible but a few does so i'm sharing it with you

 My first bootie pattern !!! -some little details must be redone before i can take pride of  it as it was quite tricky the joining and straps with this "zebra"pattern that was inspired from a lovely blog that instantly become on of my favs called teszekveszekvacakolok.blogspot.com of Jeszizsu.This lovely effective and strong pattern can be found in two variations by clicking here.Thank you Zsuzsa for sharing it!!!

Another wip bootie a comissioned work.

A set of brooches and silk ribbon hairband made for one of my sons girlfriend who turned 10 too-we were at three b.parties this weekend ;) and not showing here a little crochet flower ring and crocheted earring that somehow escaped from the shooting table.
                                                                                                            And of course the long awaited pinata...as i run out of big baloons this time i was forced to try my luck with the cardboard.This being my first box shaped pinata that is not finished but was presentable at the party.I intend to add some extras like hands ,ears and legs, hot dots and more paint on sides.The painting on the body was inpired from a vintage robot toy that i found on flickr.
