28.3.09 "Oh My Stars Necklace" designed by Diane Fitzgerald

I reproduced one star from the "Oh My Stars Necklace" designed by Diane Fitzgerald.
This is going to be my present for Mazal, for this Pesach evening.
I hope she will like it.

The necklace broke so I replaced it by an twisting Herringbone spiral.

27.3.09 Last Iris for this season in the "Iris hills" (Nes-Ziona)

This year, as opposed to the last one, we missed the irises, but there was one beautiful left. Omer caught a Phoracantha recurva beetle on my hairs, while resting under an Eucalyptus and was very satisfied to discover that they had started their activity this season.

25.3.09 Vezsuzsi RAW Flower Power

I made this RAW flower following Vezsuzsi's ones: "Raw-virág..." and "Kérésre..."
It took me about 6 hrs and I think it will suit very much as a ring, but I need to work on it.
I am full of admiration for Vezsuzsi. She is so talented, original and creative. Visit her beautiful blog as well as her new etsy shop.

25.3.09 Sleepy Sarah for Pnina

Cute Sleepy Sarah took me about 4 hrs to complete. You can find the free pattern on owlishly's blog. I also recommend you to check the Sleepy Sarah Rainbow made by 5minutes.

I got recently a nice picture from Pnina, that I thought would be nice to share with you. Sarah is in good hands :-) and she is sleeping well.

22.3.09 Inspired by the "Butterflies Galore"


Too lazy to make the "Butterflies Galore" bracelet designed by Suzan Mandel (Bead and Button Magazine, April 2009, Issue 90, p. 66-69), I turned it to an individual butterfly. I like its body. Now I need to think of a composition and try to make additional ones.

15.3.09 Water lily

The "Water lily" instructions appear in "The Beader's Floral" p.34-35.
I didn't enjoy making it. 5 hrs of annoying square stitch with a 15 needle.

11.3.09 Owlishly's " Laura Beth amigurumi" Doll

I finally finished this cute "Laura Beth dressed as a ladybird amigurumi doll". It is the first doll I am making and I think it can suit well for a key chain. The finishes were the hard part for me in this project (as in many others).
I bought the pattern from Mia Zamora-Johnson's Owlishly Etsy Shop. I recommend you to visit the shop, it has plenty of cute amigurumi dolls' crochet patterns that she designs so creatively. In her interesting blog, check her cute free pattern for Sleepy Sarah amigurumi.
I am very satisfied with the pattern, it's very clear and well explained and the things that I didn't know/understand - I just asked and got very helpful and quick answers.
Thank you Mia!
