Dutch Spaghetti all'uncinetto


Scrivo questo post in Italiano direttamente perche' volevo presentarvi una cosa abbastanza carina: un materiale d'invenzione olandese per uncinetto. Ieri sono stata a questa fiera ed hanno presentato il tutto a prezzi scontati. Visto che gia' e' tutto scritto in Olandese farei tripla fatica a tradurlo in inglese per le mie amiche italiane :)
La loro web page: http://hoooked.nl
Le balle di zpaghetti (si scritto con la "z" all'olandese!): http://hoooked.nl/index.php?option=com_morfeoshow&task=view&gallery=2&Itemid=111
Le idee presentate ieri: http://hoooked.nl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=60&Itemid=112
I cartamodelli scaricabili: http://hoooked.nl/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=folder&Itemid=127
Ieri vendevano un set per la borsa basic si puo' comprare lo "starter packet" per 10€, incluso anche l'uncinetto in bambu' leggerissimo.
Io non ho mai lavorato all'uncinetto ma mi e' piaciuta quest'idea all'italiana e ho deciso di provare... spero di riuscire a finire la borsa o almeno riuscire a farci qualcos'altro...


Poi ho comprato questo pacchetto di stoffe deliziosissime ♥





.. E questo e' un fiorellino che ho fatto ieri! Lo usero' come chiusura o abbellimento.

I needed this...

Ciao. Today I went again to ther hospital, I get crazy sometimes from what they tell me, so I need distractions... I had 2 pices of felt laying around ... I held them for some time, first thought about making a card holder, but then again I do not need it... so I thought: what do you really need for yourself? A mini-camera case... YES... for my Minox Leica M5 - it is a miniature, and I really want to preserve it while using it. So here it is.. but I noticed that it needs something inside to make it stronger.. some sort of hard lining. Then it could be perfect ^_^

Glasses Holder - cure for sadness

Good Tuesday... I woke up with a weird sadness feeling today. It may be because I am going through a physical rehab and it is hard to do everything on my own in a foreign country... I hope this period will pass soon. BUT - before I couldn't cope with sadness and used to feel very dark about it. Now I understand that is part of being a highly sensitive person (HSP - I am one!).. and yesterday I didn't help myself watching 2 very sad things on TV... I need to watch funny stuff - avoid the melancholic ones. So, I knew it was just a moment and I tried working with it... and I made this prototype for a glasses-holder. It includes a pocket on the side (clip button to close it) that can hold pencils, pens, little card, etc. There's no lining as I still need to master how to sew it. I will make more, change the front pocket - different pockets of different size can be applied. It was happy and fun to make, a good medicine for sensitivity!

I am allergic so I build fabric flowers

Good Monday everyone ♥ last days it was super hot here in Amsterdam city.. pity that I have allergies during spring so I must basically stay locked inside otherwise my eyes and nose get very itchy and annoying. It is very sad because here there are maybe 3 weeks of warm weather, and they usually combine with the pollination. Pity. This year though I thought about making fabric flowers.. I am surely not allergic to those ehehe....

so I finally finished to make the scarf for my friend's birthday and made the first flower into a pin:
After I went crazy and made a couple more flowers.. I was not so productive yesterday but it was Sunday - so very allowed to be completely lazy.
I am very proud of my flowers ♥

Today I discovered another cute blog Pane, Amore e Creativita' super cute and pink! I hope to learn more in the coming months... Thanks to all the girls who share their creativity and tips!
You are all great!!!
