Hair Decorations




I've been out of inspiration lately, but today I had an idea about a series of crafted wooden combs and hair accessories. Since I'm not a very good carpenter and since I do not have access to wood crafting tools at the moment I went through what little hobby materials I had (and since I'm staying at my parents' house over the holidays that is not very much). I found some silver wire, some brass wire and some glass and plastic pearls. The result is two decorative combs.

I have never tried to make these before and I have to work a little on my technique. I will definitely make more of these in time. Enjoy!

Holiday edition



In the growing darkness I thought I'd brighten things up by bringing in some Christmas themes. So I went to Eurokangas and got some fleeze and fake fur. Five hours later I had a lovley tunic, a Christmas hat, and a pair of soft trousers ready. Now I'm just waiting for the snow.

DIY Tote bag



I found this violet velvet skirt at the flea market some time ago. The material was wonderful but the skirt and especially the lining was hideous. So I thought I'd make something else out of it. The result is a tote bag for when I go shopping or for keeping my current knitting project.
