Crochet hook case

Heartburns and pelvic pain really gave me a hard time last night...
Then I thought: "Dear body, you mess with me, alright... well, I just keep crocheting!!"
And here we have it: I finished this week project in two and a half days.
I got inspired by this wonderful blog and here is the pattern I followed (in danish), though I made some minor changes.
I can't wait for my Clover hooks to arrive!

I am quite happy with the result, as it is the first real "challenging" project I have ever crocheted.

Outing!

Here's a little videoclip of Tristan's baby brother/sister (w.11+0)

Isn't he/she just wonderful?!?

I made some Owlz!

You can find this pattern here

Here, take a look if you want to make a little cute owl like this one!

Feeling yellow

I'm home today... yes... and I've been home the last couple of days.

Got my right hand fixed last wednesday (because of an annoying carpal tunnel syndrome) and I'm going to be on sick leave for a fortnight because I cannot really use my hand that much and it would be impossible to get something done at work.

As a matter of fact I'm not doing that much at home either, I still cannot feel the tip my fingers and it is actually quite hard to type as well: the sutures feels a little tight and are right on the wrist... ever tried to keep you're right wrist completely still? It just isn't going to happen!!

And hey! What's the matter with that funky yellow thing they dip your hand with?!? It is actually impossible to get off...

As I had to keep my hand up all day, need I say how many people stared at me on the way home? Not the kind of attention one's eager to get really...

Another 15 months...

...have past!

Well, I've been busy, I guess.

I was actually quite surprise to discover, that there really was a crafter hidden deep inside of me. And I really have been busy making all sort of things: sewing, crocheting, embellishing boxes... making owls! Yes, I guess owls are my new passion.

Owls and somehow everything lilac and purple (in case you did not notice the new template... ehm ehm).

Picture of all the fine things I've made will soon be published.

But one thing I made in the last 15 months really can't compare to the rest and it's what I'm most proud of:

TRISTAN

He really is the loveliest of babies (actually "toddlers" since he turned one a couple of weeks ago) therefore I can't really use him as an excuse for not being able to write a couple of line in the blog.

I am aware of the fact that a post a year isn't enough to keep this blog alive and that is why I have decided to really make an effort in giving my new crafter identity a place to show off and maybe a little reading material for Tristan, something he can laugh about when he grows up!
