…compilation of tutorials
This time I find the title absolutely convenient: I find this pop up really fantastic!
Note: The PDF links can’t be reached anymore, apparently amongst other things because of copyright infringements.
After all we have to buy the book ourselves :)

Wow, I find the felt leaves scarf really great, too!
She made it with Nuno-felting of silk, sewing on of the leaf stitchings and cutting out of the middle pieces, but she writes that it should work with prefabricated felt, too.
When Nuno-felting, you felt the wool in thin layers into a prefabricated fabric, I did it before but not with silk but with a simple chiffon kerchief and it worked great.
Mostly I’m unnerved by the shampoo, shower gel and detergent plastic bottles and throw them away – where I should have kept them all to make such a wonderful plastic bottle light chain.
Or a lot of other great things.

I always found the polymer clay Chrysanthemum cane most beautiful!
Besides it’s not long any more until Valentine’s Day where you can possibly do with the Chrysanthemum hearts ;-)
But there are muuuch more interesting polymer clay tutorials ;-)
And if you don’t fancy Chrysanthemums much, there are still a lot of other polymer clay flower canes ;-)

I always like to look for (among other things! ;-)) knitting stitches and lately two stitches ‘collided’ in my head: mosaic (slip-stitch) knitting and cabling.
When I tried it out I was hooked ;-))
By the way, I also like it single coloured :))
I created a PDF file (ca. 350 KB) for you to download so that you can amuse yourself with this stitch, too.
The file contains unikatissima’s knitting pattern ‘little berries’, a photo step-by-step instruction for one of the stitches, some ideas about increasing and decreasing the pattern and some project ideas.
Have much fun knitting it!
P.S.: If you’re knitting the pattern you implicitly agree to my terms of use which you can find in the PDF file.
Mainly it says that you may sell products knitted with my pattern but not give away the file itself.

A long time ago I’ve found the instruction for the braided bead rainbow but when I wanted to present it here at some time the website didn’t exist any more.
So you can imagine how glad I was when I found it back accidentally! :))
So now also for you to make it ;-))

Pantyhose Petals!
When I was a child it was fashionable to make these!
And now everything comes back.
Admittedly the panties are more colourful today – the petals get therefore more beautiful ;-)

I find the principle behind these cards fascinating – and the one on the photo most beautiful!
And then I even found an instruction!
At the next opportunity I want, too! ;-))

The first card of this kind that I saw was Poetic Series #38 WorkName : Hide-and-go-seek (search there for ‘Poetic Series’ => card number 38 with the name of ‘Hide-and-go-seek’)
Lately I read several historical novels about Caesar and Cicero – and at some point they all mention Garum – the notorious fish sauce which the old Romans seem to have poured over nearly everything (I understand that it was the ancient ketchup ;-)).
That’s why I wanted to know whether the recipe is still known.
It is.
And if you will excuse me I stick to ketchup.
