Knitted socks

Hi  dear visitors!
It's getting colder. This time my goal is to prepare my family for a winter so I've already shown my hubby's socks in one of the previous posts, now it's time for my daughter's ones. The last winter was very cold and not cozy for us because we didn't  wait for the similar weather so we left  the majority of warm clothes in Russia. We bought some but the range of the same things here is very limited or I don't know about right  places to buy and frankly speaking I don't like design of the clothes. In my life I prefer only natural and eco materials for clothing so some times I have to make some clothes for my family on my own, socks for example or other knitted things.

The photos bellow are from our walking last week.  

 here is my daughter.

 On these photos you can show the plants in the Quinn Victoria garden. All seasons there are different The best one is the spring, others are good and hot, but current one is the most colorless. The Nature fades and prepares for a winter.

In spite of many words written above we were happy about this walking because the weather was fine and we were together,

Thank you for your visit. Enjoy your life. See you soon.

Many things in one post

Hello!
Do you use  small cuts in your projects? I do. Making my daughter quilt I decided to use cuts from one patch  to make another one and what I got

 

... funny butterflies 

 I made them from the cuts shown  on the photo above and embroidered around.

... suppose this patch looks more attractive then a patch with simple squares

 Another one my studying process is Irish crotchet. This is my first attempt and in spite of it these flowers and leaf look properly. I made the photo on the linen which was bought in the craft show in Rose hill, Sydney. I were there last Saturday. I couldn't say that I got an unforgettable experience because the similar shows in Russia look richer because of Craft supplies galore and huge quantity of craftsmen. But only the thing that I must note that all the handmade things on this show were unique and made in excellent quality. I was glad to see some quilts and knitted things.  I met many talented craftsmen here in Australia which don't want to participate in the same shows and I don't know why, they make so unusual things which could be loved by other people.

 This stuff is a berry necklace. I made it in a hippie style. All the part of it are tatted.

Thank you for your visit. Enjoy your crafts see you soon.

Daughter's quilt (flower)

 Hello dear readers!
I've just complete a flower which I made leaves for.This is an applique. I used exactly this fabric because it reflects young women' wishes ( I hope), what they like. Even if they don't like pink colors, they do like different cute female stuffs.

 My daughter is a teenager, she is trying to apply many different faces and styles for herself and her mood is very changeable  but I note when nobody unknown is about her and she is with us, her family, she is always a little girl in pink clothes with pig tails and with very kind and fragile soul.

Thank you for your visit. Enjoy your family time crafts. See you soon.

A few patches for my daughter's quilt

Hello dear readers!

I'm still in the process of making my daughters quilt. Here is log-cabin leaf for a flower. I've made log cabin patches once in my life and my first experience was terrible because I didn't use any base to make them. Later on YouTube I found the great explanation how easy to make them on vellum.

 For these patches I used tracing paper for the base instead of vellum ( I couldn't find it)  and I got the expected result.

 ... these patches are in the paper yet

 this cake is for my little sweet tooth :-)

 ... the ironed patch from previous post

 this crochet detail fits for a linen patch. It was made by my Grandmother and will remind my daughter about her.

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your craft. See you soon.

New quilt (2nd and 3rd blocks)

Hello dear readers!

I'm in process with my new quilt. I've already defined colors and make a few pictures of the further quilt.  I decided to collect many different crafts making this quilt. I'll have a few parts with embroidery and applique, the rest ones will be hand scraped and quilted.  

 The second patch is umbrella I made it because of rainy climate in the city where we came from.

The colors of the quilt you can show here, this patch was made by hand and wasn't competed because I haven't bought the main fabric yet. It's too humid outside last three days so I don't want driving to the shop. Hope to get there tomorrow.

Thank you for your visit. Enjoy your day. See you soon.

New quilt (1st block)

Hello dear readers!
Recently I made an announce about my new learning process (whitework embroidery). Today I want to show you some results of it. Together with this learning process I started another one to apply my embroidered stuff. This process is a blanket for my daughter's bedroom.  The photos bellow are for the first block.

 This is the blog with clover leaf with small and cute lady bug.This picture shows the embroidery more detailed. When I started this embroidery I used only books but some moments were not clear and I started searching on the Internet any blogs about white work and pulled thread embroidery. I found 2 beautiful blogs one of them in Germany and another one in Italia. First blog is about Schwalm Whitework,  another one is about Italian needle-making lace. Both of them are very interesting.

 Thanks for your visit.Enjoy your day. See you soon.

New processes

Today I want to show you a few of my current processes. One of them is tatting part of a future dress. I'm making the last element of this one.

 This is my new project. What is it is secret yet. But idea is very rich.

 The books shown bellow my hubby bought me on eBay a week ago. I've seen contents of this books in my craft class. These book including big quantity of stitches, good drawn schemes and friendly explanations. One of these books is older then me and hope wiser as well.  I decided to start learning new stitches. Hope for a good result. Please read in my blog soon.
