Voyage nocturne

Ma mère fait partie d'un cercle de femmes qui font du patchwork. Elles ont eu l'idée de se donner le challenge de créer un patchwork avec seule contrainte la taille (qui devait être la même pour tous) et l'utilisation d'un même tissu qui a été distribué à toutes les participantes - je trouve l'idée très sympa, c'est comme un "patchwork challenge". A la fin du "concours" elles ont organisé une petite exposition mais voilà... le patchwork de ma maman a été volé! Snif... le seul souvenir que nous en avons est cette photo - le tissu en question est le vert avec l'imprimé de l'oiseau

Fabric Toy Box

Living with a little baby at home - I'm drowning under baby toys...and they spread very quickly all over the place... I needed to find a solution so here is my little son's new Toy box :-)

With a tutorial for "non-pro" sewers like me

First I cut 6 squares in the exterior fabric (braun), the lining (green) and the batting (white), I tried to use a strong one to help the box keep it's shape.

Then I put the lining and the exterior fabric right sides together and on top the batting as so for 5 of the squares :


For the lid I insert a ribbon between the lining and the exterior fabric as so:


Then I sew all the squares living an opening to turn them inside out, and then close it with some hand stiches.
And finally I assemble all the squares to form a cube by threading a needle with wool and stiching all the squares together as so:

And I also sewed a button

Panduro Lykkepose Challenge II

In min lykkepose var der også nogle fine stjerner. Jeg malede dem og brugte dem som "til-og-fra-gavekort"

Ny suttekæde

I did another pacifier holder as I came to realise that the first one I made was too long, there is a risk that it goes around his neck so I now did a shorter one - 18 cm long
And I added a little ribbon on the side for fun but he actually likes to play with it sometimes :-)

Letters with fuse beads

Ideen kommer fra bogen "Made by me - en rigtig tøsebog" af Trine Ring Olesen og Helene Møberg Johansen

Fuse Beads Flowers project

After seeing this beautiful bracelet project (click on the image for the tutorial)

I decided to do something similar for a necklace. But to do the flowers I had to use a special board for fused beads with cats shapes as so:

Here is my necklace version

Crafts Beautiful magazine

I just received today my Crafts Beautiful Magazine, it's a very cool source mostly for paper crafting, here is there website : Crafts Beautiful website
and what I like the most about it is the goodies you receive with each issue - crafting material - that I collect and then can use for any occasion when I need to make a card, and who doesn't need to do that at least twice a year! - And I'm thinking about christmas and birthdays .....




Moreover they have a channel on youtube with Corinne Bradd, she is excellent at making video tutorials, check her out : TheCraftsChannel

Panduro Lykkepose Challenge

Jeg købte mig en lykkepose fra Panduro. Der var mange varer til jul og så har jeg besluttet mig at lave nogle "jule-til-og-fra-kort" med en julekort-pakke:

Her er resultatet:

Hvad kan du lave med din lykkepose ?

Card out of paper wrapping scraps

Once you've carefully wrapped your present, what can you do with the scrap that's left ?

Here is what I did:

Hello Kitty with fuse beads

I found on the internet, this really cute Hello Kitty made out of beads for kids from Katrivsor and reproduced it to embellish a boring H&M present wrapping

The numbers correspond to the number of beads

And the funny wrapping

Fuse Beads Bracelet

Angel Care Blespand - billig refill - Angelcare Nappy Disposal System - cheap refill cassette-

Jeg har købt en angel care blespand og fandt på internettet en rigtig god billig refill ide fra ayl@ på "min-mave.dk" forum, hermed deler jeg min måde at gøre det:

	This is what an Angel Care Blespand looks like
	I used an original empty refill and made an incision on the exterior layer (I stopped 1,5 cm from the bottom)
	I used ayl@'s trick of the waste plastic bag, the ones that have the plastic straps to close them, I shirr the bag until it's closed as seen on the picture
	And then introduce both straps in the incision, this will keep the bag in place
	I then insert the opening bag all around the refill between the exterior and interior layer with my fingers (that requires a bit of practice to make it fast).
	Here is the finished product
	Then I insert the refill in the bin with the two plastic straps of the waste bag in one of the corners of the bin as shown on the picture.
	Final result
