Ok, ok, a votive again ;-), but I find this winter village votive really beautiful, too :))

If you try very hard you can make 24 of these and assemble as Advent calendar.
I think that today it’s too narrow for this, but I had the idea too late.
But then, this way you’ll have enough time to design the Advent calendar for next year ;-))

* Wico is Window Colours. These are those glass paints that come in plastic bottles and can be used on acetate sheets, I don’t know the exact English name.

Find Craft and Needlework Books Easier

Links of entry

When I look at Amazon.de for craft and needlework books I mostly get too many results I’m not interested in (try e.g. the search for ‘Mosaik’ ;-)).
Because I simply assume that you have similar problems ;-), I made a page where you can search Amazon.de more systematic.

If you buy books there, you are buying directly at and from Amazon.de, I’m only helping with the search ;-)
Though it’s also a help for me because I can make go on unikatissima with the little commission I get when you buy via unikatissima ;-)

By the way, don’t be surprised: the search page is on a new blog where I will sell patterns in the future.
Up until now you can ‘only’ find free patterns there that you know from here already ;-)

Happy browsing-for-books :))

Beaded Stars on CDs

Somehow I liked the beaded stars on CDs very well, even though I usually don’t like crafting with CDs very much ;-)

I liked especially the beaded stars on CDs that are used on the main site as candle holders.

Hand Made Soap

They say in the tutorial: melt the soap and pour into molds or something like that.
Haha.
Actually there seem to be soap and soap, on the photo you can see what happened to my soap: it didn’t melt at all and I only got a slobbery mass.
Well, another time I will look better what kind of soap I’m buying ;-))

I found more tutorials where they ‘refine’ the soap with almond oil and dried herbs:

both via: Rebatching Ivory Soap (English)

The tutorial is now unfortunately only to be find in webarchive (without photos), but I found the idea so good that I wanted to present it here anyhow.
I think that it should work as well with taping thin paper on the glass instead of frosting it.

Nice, isn’t it?

Lace Knitters Advent Calendar 2010

Links of entry

I realized that I’ve published more than 1000(!) entries already and to celebrate this fact you can get an Advent calendar from me ;-)

Every day you will get a couple of rows to knit in a different pattern and on december 25, 2010 you will have a most beautiful lace shawl :))

By the way: The photo is extra small – it gives you just an idea of what you will knit but (hopefully ;-)) not spoil the surprise.

I really like the idea of the Advent wreath which is assembled from tea glasses :)

Crochet Doily

I find this doily very interesting, too – to work, not to put anywhere ;-))
On the other hand it should give a great jacket, if you sew together several of them?!
;-)

 

The instruction is in German, but charted, so I translated the meaning of the symbols.
At the links below I added links to tutorials on how to make the stitches for you to see what I’m talking about ;-)
