some smalls

It's been a though few weeks, my grandmother passed away at the age of 80.  She wasn't ill or anything so it was a bit of a shock to the whole family.  Needless to say I haven 't been creating much... and I have some orders to finish, so I need to pull myself together soon.

Some small finishes from before...

Pattern here (in Dutch)

yarn: Phildar Coton 3

hook: 2.5mm

little flower pot: I got this one from hubby for mothers day, the plant that was in there didn't survive... the only plants I manage to keep alive are orchids... I went back to the flower shop for more little pots, but they didn't have any more

Pattern: the famous Vendula owl :)

I've just noticed I forgot to stitch a beak :p must add one...

yarn: Phildar Coton 3

hook: 2.5mm

I have 2 new finishes to show, both are for a new baby.

The green elephant from my previous post is feeling very much at ease in his new home, the new owners were so kind to send me a picture.  Since there are 3 small children in the photo I won't post it here.

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 :).

It's been busy the last couple of weeks, I haven't been crocheting that much.  My little boy went to school for the first time, proud mummy moment :)

I started this one first on Phildar Coton 3 but it turned out too small, then I made the one in the previous post with Aviso.  That one went to a new home en I finished the Coton 3 one over the weekend :)
