nothing you can buy in a store,

but what you quietly hope for,

that is what I wish you for 2012

Frivolité

A while ago I was spoiled by Cri-Cri with a parcel full of goodies.

One handmade item really catched my attention, as I was conviced that it was some

kind of tiny crochet.  But ... it's not.  It's called 'Frivolité'.

Something in between lace, macramé and crochet.

She made a large variety of christmasdecorations with it.

So for those that want to have a christmastree full of these

cute handmade ornaments ... it's time to start ... so you will be done by the 24.12.12.

Remake

This necklace was made almost a year ago.  A combination of crochet, leather, cotton and wool. I reused the leather, the crochet tube and a copper hoop from the initial

closing. And turned this into ...

yep ... another spiral :-)

Spiral number 2

Too bad you can't really see the color mixes of the sewingthreads I used for this gradation in colors.

*for every nationality and every belief

Spirals

Found some inspiration in my telephone wire !

The red dot

Back to the minimalistic crochet : this time with some

suède and a red accent mixed with shades of grey.

Made some new !

For these dark, cold and wet days ... some cheerful

mixes for your keys !

Exuberance

From minimalistic crochet into the exuberance with beads.

A woven bracelet in the Robin Atkins Beaded Treasures technique.

It was quite some time ago since I've  made my last one.

Pinned on cork and using a lot of beads and c-lon thread for this

result.

But ... already back to my crochet needle ...

Lazy on sunday

Saturday Shopping Day

Beautiful combinations of winered and raspberry sewingthread !

The custom request

Last week I received two pieces of fabric from

Cri-Cri curieux with the question for making a

matching necklace and bracelet.

This is the result !

Under the spell of ...

crocheting beads and tubes

The verdict - part two

About one month ago I posted that I had received the bad news that my left eye was degenerating with cataract.  Today I got the new that operation is planned on the 24th of January. 

 Due to former eye problems, the operation will take place under a full narcose.

The doctor hopes to bring back my sight from a minus 9 to a

minus 3 ... so a pair of glasses will still be necessary (even two if you count in the reading glasses I am wearing when crocheting tiny stitches).

The cataract I have is not really the one older people suffer from (misty sight).

For the moment I see everything in triple ... especially lights ... it even could go up to 4x or 5x or even 6x !

Waw ... and this in a christmasperiod where everything is full of extra lights :-)

 Can you imagine what I see ?

Just for the ears !
