Hand Carved Stamp + Stamped & Embossed Cards

The design of the king has been made by lovely brother-in-law who is an illustrator and a 2D & 3D animator. I wanted to make him a surprise and then carved a stamp from it. I also made some stamped cards with the hand carved stamp and tried for the first time heat embossing!

Hello Kitty with Duck Costume Amigurumi

How could Hello Kitty be more kawaii, cute & funny? We had a lot of laugh my Sweetheart & I the first time we looked at this strange doll. It was the first time I sew an amigurumi & this was 2 years ago :D half joking, half serious, my Sweetheart asked me to learn to crochet to make it. & months later, I begun learning to make my first amigurumis. I made quite a lot since, but I've never tried to make this, it was like it was unachievable, untouchable. But, this year, for my Sweetheart Birthday, I decided to realise it, at last. And it was a successful gift <3









PS: ignore the cat hair on some pics; it was hard to keep the cat away from this irresistible kitty ;)

Cape - crochet

I wanted to try making one of these for such a long time!!! :D asymmetric crocheted cape - for all adult sizes












I've looked at several patterns for the size & motifs and adapt it (I wanted something asymmetrical)

crochet-dressed up jars ♫



I wanted to decorate recycled boxes to put gifts inside, for friends!






These ones are made of glass (there was yoghurt in there!) and I've dressed them up with crochet.





It was obvious in my mind that it could be nice and fun. I made them "on the go", without any pattern or pic to be inspired and had to grope around a bit ;)
