Yeay some crochet...

I've made this little birdies for a friend of my mother with Catania coton and Phildar Coton 3 and hook 2.5mm

pattern can be found here (Dutch)

I've finished the birth sampler as well now, I've added the name and the date.  Will drop it off at the framers on Monday :)

Progress

So I've finished this Birth Sampler, but the little baby boy is taking his time.  I think he was supposed to be born a couple of days ago so we're all waiting very (im)patiently.  Here is the sampler (minus the name that is)

This is a kit by DMC from the Lickle Ted series. No longer available in shops sadly.  I really loved these designs for new babies.  

So since I've cought the stitching bug, I tackled a long time wip, have no idea how long I've been working on this one :) Might be finished in time for Christmas. Just need to do the backstitching now.

This was a Dimensions Gold Petites kit.  Not sure if it's still available in shops. So maybe next week, I'll have another finish for you all. And who knows, maybe even some crochet :).

Cross Stitching update

Deadline is coming closer... baby is due in 3 weeks... I hope to have a finish to show next week :)

Pattern came from a DMC kit in the "My first Lickle Ted" series, no longer available for sale

Cross Stitching again...

I have 1 more crochet thingie to show :).  My son turned 3 last week and I made this stuffed "3" for him.

Pattern by Christel Krukkert (here)

Yarn: Scheepjes Stone Washed

I still need to convince him to pose for a picture with this for the Family album :).

And there is a new baby coming in the family.  I've been stitching for the little boy for the last week now... Here's the most recent update

Kit by DMC - My first Lickle Ted (no longer available)

So no crocheting untill this little cutie is finished.  And I've already added so many things to my "Want to make" list :).

Have a great weekend!

It's been a while...

I was looking back on my Facebook page in my "crochet" album and noticed I'm way behind on updating the blog. Shame on me :)

Sorry for the bad quality of this picture, took it with my phone
this was a request, didn't like the pattern at all

Now I'm back at Cross Stitching for a new baby due in November.  Still got some (a lot) of work to do on that sampler.

Long overdue!

Sometimes life gets in the way of blogging, of crocheting,... it's been a while since I've been here.  I've been on a 2 week holiday in May, and didn't really feel like creating stuff.  But I had an order to fill so now I'm back on track :).

This one came on holiday with us, there was a little girl waiting for this cute little donkey :)

Another new baby at DH's work, this tough lion is moving to Turkey.  The pattern is called "Leeuw Lowie".  My son's name is also Lowie, I'm going to make this one for his bedroom as well :).

And this is the one that made me pick up my hooks and yarn again :) Also for a new baby. This is my 3rd Otto Elephant, I think I like this color combo best.  Someone already asked me for another green Otto, I guess I will be busy in the next couple of weeks :).
