The fabric stone necklace is another fabric necklace, but this time with a pendant that gives a little weight.
Anyway, I like it :)

I said before that I’m not one for Amigurumis but I find this ugly bunny – how can I put it – absolutely cute ;-))
You can make the little one as bag charm, too, this way you can have him with you at all times ;-)

I presented already some furniture from recycled materials, but I like this table very well: it’s constructed from several tables and a lot of other items!
Let’s see what I will do with the next piece of furniture that I need.
Perhaps a chair made from a lot of older chairs?
Well, I don’t think so ;-))

What a wonderful idea: to batik reasonably priced with children without getting it dangerous for the little ones she simply uses washable (school) glue!
And what children can do, I can, too.
Very often ;-)))
By the way, she uses watered down acrylic colours to colour everything in.
Great!

When looking at the picture I hardly can imagine that the flooring is made from brown paper!
Wow!

I like spirals – now I like rectangular ones, too ;-)
What I like especially at the short row spiral is the fact that you never have more stitches on the needle than the width of the stripes.
I can make it with normal double pointed needles (which I own in all sizes) and additionally I find the frequent back and forth less boring than knitting those immense long rows.
Here the spiral is part of an afghan but you can work it larger to make a (square) afghan from.
And personally I find the stripes a little too narrow, I’m sure that they can be knitted wider.
Well, let’s see.

Doesn’t this ‘A’ look great?
And where the ‘A’ comes from, you can find muuuch more :)
I don’t know yet what I will do with it apart from very personal Birthday cards, but I’m sure that I’ll come up with some idea ;-))

These bracelets are woven from parachute cord and somehow I find them really beautiful.
Actually it should be possible to weave them from a different, easier to purchase cord?!

The little bird looks cute, doesn’t it?
Well, perhaps something for the next party, perhaps together with the penguins and the swan.
Or am I cuckoo? ;-))
And if you don’t like this, you can definitely make other beautiful things from your drinking straw ;-)

It may be overdoing things when you try to save on onions by growing new onions from old ones, but you never know what’ll happen ;-)
