When I saw the chameleon I was totally amazed – especially because it contains also a secret compartment!
Well, it doesn’t go with my room, but who knows…

What a great idea to plant old cameras!
I still have some and old lenses, some of which are broken and I don’t need them anymore, but I can’t part with them.
Perhaps I shouldn’t and instead plant them.
Hm, on the other hand I have a brown thumb, it can therefore get difficult to plant them.

Such a pin from old plastic bottles and the like can look really cute, can’t it?
Now I’m debating with myself on whether I should collect these, too.

I don’t like the necklaces in Dutch Spiral technique soo much, but I tried it out to see how it is.
In principle it’s nothing else than tubular peyote (instructions see below) where you work a bead loop in one place.
Because I didn’t like the very broad loop part with 18 beads in the instruction I only used 6 beads per loop.
Well, I like it and I was especially amazed again about how I get lost in the always similar moves and how much this relaxes me.
Perhaps I will make another looong necklace, just to relax ;-))

I’m planning for a certain time to try crocheted Bruges Lace but found it always a little old fashioned – until I saw amongst others the photos.
Oddly enough I don’t find them old fashioned at all ;-)
I then researched a little further and found a most beautiful little cap and a very impressive opera coat.
Well, we will see.
And if it doesn’t work I will make a scarf from ;-))

Aren’t those penguines sweet?
I really have to make them once!
Well, of course they’re not sweet, they’re made from olives! ;-))
Apparently it’s not so easy to eat them because it’s difficult to bite into those cute penguines, but after the first bite that doesn’t seem to present no more problem ;-))

Well, the scarf yesterday wasn’t bad at all (just as all the scarves before ;-)), but this waving scarf is also special, isn’t it?
On the list with it ;-))

I must confess that in fact I like to crochet doilies – but I don’t want to have them, because I don’t have a clue about what to do with them ;-).
That’s perhaps the reason why I like so much putting together things from squares or the like ;-))
Well, now I can make me such a doily scarf ;-)
I think that you can very well hand-dye it with tea or coffee.

They look great, those tilings, don’t they?
You can find even more on the site, one more beautiful than the next.
I thought that they can excellently be used for quilting, but also for multi colour knitting, -crochet, -beading – in short for everything that you can do with filet crochet/cross stitch embroidery charts.
I mentioned before that I don’t quilt, therefore I don’t have any experience.
If the quilting wasn’t possible I’d be glad getting a comment on why this should be so :)
Otherwise: let’s get to work ;-))

There are soo beautiful stamps, why not make a little piece of jewelry from them?
One way is the already presented lamination, another the beading of stamps.
And with a little more thought I will get other ideas as well ;-))
