Happy holydays!

I wish happy holydays to everyone! Hope you are having a great time!

Now I want to show you what I made last week. As a decoration for the Christmas table I decorated a new candle with decoupage technique. I used a napkin with Christmas motif.

I also made a Christmas card with crocheted gift on it. This card is traveling in Belgrade and maybe is already there. Hope they will like it.

I made some Christmas gifts for my friends, but for now I’m showing you just this one. It’s a mobile pouch. I made two of them, one for me and one for a friend.

In the back side I sewed a button.

Christmas card 6

I already made this kind of card with gold Christmas Tree Motif, but now the card is horizontal. You can find the pattern for the tree here.

Christmas cards 5

Here are a few more Christmas crocheted cards.

 

Silver Mobile Pouch

I will use this pouch as a Christmas gift for a friend. Last year I made one for me; my friend liked it and said to me that she would like to have one. I looooove when I give away things that I have made. 

The dimensions of the pouch are: Height: 11cm; Width: 6cm.

And this is mine pouch:

Cards with Christmas Tree Motif

Few years ago on Ravelry I found a pattern for Christmas Tree Motif and made couple of them. They seemed small to me and I changed the pattern for a bigger Christmas Tree Motif. I used the Christmas Trees as an ornaments attached on a curtain. 

Now I made two Christmas tree with thin thread to attach on a paper card. I decorate the card with a ribbon and glitter glue. The height of these trees is 6 cm. You can see the pattern for a bigger tree below the photos.

Here Is the pattern for a bigger Christmas Tree:

Christmas cards 4 & Star card

These days I’m occupied with making Christmas cards. For these cards I used a craft punches with snowflakes and stars. I made the card with stars for my mom and dad... My dad’s coworker has a grandchild and my parents are going to visit them. I wish a happy childhood to the baby.

 

Christmas cards 3

I feel it in my fingers,

I feel it in my toes,

Christmas is all around me

and so the feeling grows…

One more month till Christmas and here are few more Christmas cards made with decoupage technique. Hope you like it! ;)

 

Wine card collection

I made the first two cards this winter for Valentines Day. I made the third one for our neighbor's saint's day: A few days ago a friend from our neighborhood came in our house for some coffee & gossip chat. She said that she likes my decoupage candle and that she would like to have something made with decoupage technique. I decided to make a card for her and here it is (the third one). Maybe I will change the present because I have time till their saint's day to buy a candle holder and candle and decoupage it.

Christmas cards 2

When I finished the candle I continued to work with decoupage technique. Always when New Year is on the doorstep I'm saying to myself that I should have made Christmas cards :) That's why I started to make them earlier. First I made one, but after that I made a whole collection :) I used parts from one napkin and a glitter glue at the end. I left the cards dry so I can take a photo of them. And here they are :D

Decoupage Candle

Tomorrow is our saint's day and everybody in the house is occupied with the preparations. Yesterday was a sunny day and I was cleaning the house. After the hard work, while I was resting I got an idea how to decorate the candle that I bought before a month. I was tired, but then I forgot about the tiredness and started to craft. I started to browse in my napkins and I chose one that matched with the candle holder. 

I like the final product and I think that I will buy more candles to decorate them for all ocassions :)

Blue afghan

This weekend I got some new blue yarn from drenka and had to try it. I found a beautiful bolero on ravelry, but on the page with the pattern  there were a lot of similar patterns. I found the one that I liked and started to crochet. After few rounds of crocheting I noticed that I started a wrong pattern :)) Then I found the right one and finished it. I plan to use this afghan as a decoration on a sew bag or I will make more afghans like this and make something nice.

I hope that you will see my new bolero soon ;)

Violet accessories for my camera & cell phone

Tomorrow is another working day. I have just finished the violet accessories for my camera & cell phone and I couldn't sleep without show them to you. Now I have to go to bed, tomorrow is another day full with new creative things that I got on my mind. Good night!!!
