Needle felted dogs, that must be the perfect craft project for me ;-) The more so since it was a miniature schnauzer on the front side, just like my little Ia. But before making a schnauzer I tried making a dog of no specific breed, just to try. This is how it turned out. <br /><br />And then ... my little Ia died. She was almost 15 years old, but it's still very sad. It's a week ago now.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2220905660/" title="ia summer 2006 by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2227/2220905660_f422ef9a90.jpg" width="430" height="500" alt="ia summer 2006" /></a>mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07175927674675156646noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9431081.post-19517026584497032682008-02-03T08:41:00.000+01:002008-02-03T09:16:07.545+01:00what I've done lately<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2236446423/" title="zam's new blanket by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2340/2236446423_0df822b197.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="zam's new blanket" /></a><br /><br />Now I haven't posted for a while.

It's not what I'm best at, but it was fun.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2235653163/" title="Untitled by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2398/2235653163_c537eb6262_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" align="left" hspace="5" vspace="5" alt="" /></a> I haven't finished it yet, it'll be something for Magnus. If I was a clever girl I could give it to him on his birthday this month, but ofcourse I couldn't keep quiet so I told him everything about it ;-) Cross-stitch embroidery isn't really my thing, I thought, but since I'm always keen on trying new things I decided to go for it and I found out that I liked it. It was nice to sit in bed, concentrate and count the stitches to follow the pattern. <br />One evening when I was tired I also made three atcs. They are no beauties, but I wanted to do something simple with paper without having to think too much.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2235653149/" title="Untitled by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2191/2235653149_45604471ba.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="" /></a><br /><br />A week and a half ago I tried making a dotee doll <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2222655520/" title="Untitled by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2223/2222655520_b0d4c67288_t.jpg" width="67" height="100" align="right" hspace="5" vspace="5" alt="" /></a>following the <a href="http://dotslifeandart.blogspot.com/2007/02/art-doll-tutorial.html">instructions by Dot herself</a>. It didn't turn out too pretty ;) . But it was my first try. Maybe I'll do another one, maybe not. When I made it I got the idea to needle felt a doll instead so I made this one:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2222655500/" title="Untitled by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2058/2222655500_cc72af0c15.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Here are a few things I've finished lately. One of the purses (this one for Elena):<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2217675537/" title="finished! + tea bag by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2395/2217675537_ece9453dea.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="finished! + tea bag" /></a><br /><br />And the soft soft <b>super super soft</b> scarf for a swap:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2217675535/" title="winter cozy swap by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2042/2217675535_35c0b10115.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="winter cozy swap" /></a><br /><br />An acrylic painting:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2188497231/" title="winter by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2347/2188497231_cf04b1a647.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="winter" /></a><br /><br />I also made a necklace (quite a while ago though, but haven't showed you yet). It's for a swap for knitters. You can see what I sent <a href="http://ullstina.blogspot.com/2008/01/hemlispaket.html">here</a>. My photo is quite bad, but it's a ball of yarn with two needles in.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2205917444/" title="knitting ... necklace by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2333/2205917444_7d8bc09808.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="knitting ... necklace" /></a>mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07175927674675156646noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9431081.post-66446101385758741302008-01-19T09:57:00.000+01:002008-02-03T09:16:21.739+01:00<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2202705821/" title="organic cotton *love* by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2098/2202705821_5404ed3815.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="organic cotton *love*" /></a><br /><br />I love Blue Sky Alpacas organic cotton. I think this is a nice color combo: chocolate brown and minty blue. I bought them at <a href="http://www.knitlab.com">KnitLab</a>, a place that is very dangerous (in a very nice way) to visit because you can't leave without something ;-)mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07175927674675156646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9431081.post-79478992262162242482008-01-13T10:44:00.000+01:002008-01-13T11:01:51.693+01:00Angel<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2189288196/" title="made by maria öqvist öhman by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2238/2189288196_a17e8d3496.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="made by maria öqvist öhman" /></a><br /><br />This cute little angel has been flying around in my home for a while, but I've forgotten to show you.

Oh, and look what I recieved in FAA Secret Santa parcel! It's from <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/vaide/">Namolio</a>. I love every bit of it, but my favourites are the three animals above. <br /><br />I have been knitting. I have been baking. And that's it, I think.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2187138837/" title="Untitled by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2115/2187138837_8b6a7d1ff4.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="" /></a>mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07175927674675156646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9431081.post-70927449118255216142008-01-06T20:18:00.000+01:002008-01-06T20:33:35.209+01:00Pink apron<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2172047519/" title="apron for a doll by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2055/2172047519_aaf072c527.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="apron for a doll" /></a><br /><br />Today I found a piece of pink fabric and a pink iron-on cupcake. I recieved them in a swap and they're pretty, but I'm not a pink girl. Instead I sewed an apron for my niece Thea's doll. I hope she'll like it.mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07175927674675156646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9431081.post-22969652256000295242008-01-06T20:14:00.000+01:002008-01-06T20:34:31.309+01:00Making mistakes<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2172047495/" title="mistake by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2262/2172047495_c7de074852.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="mistake" /></a><br /><br />Sometimes when I look around on all beautiful stuff on crafty blogs and on Flickr I wonder if I'm the only person making mistakes and messing it up. I use to answer myself "no, Maria, you're not alone, it's just that they don't show you their mistakes". It might not be true, but I feel a little bit better thinking that ;-) Above you see one of my mistakes. I've been working on this quilt like ... forever? So it seems. And I make mistake after mistake after mistake. The last one today when I was about to sew a straight line. It turned out being not straight at all. To my defense the quilt is <b>thick</b>, and I've never made a quilt before. Except for the one I made in school long ago. Which, actually, looks better than this one.

In one or another way, at least. I've been baking. I took some photos (on my Flickr or my <a href="http://lillalivetstort.wordpress.com">other blog</a>). And I've been knitting a little bit almost every day. Above you see a mitten for my niece. It might be too small, but I haven't met her for several months so I cannot remember the size of her hands. If that's the case her little brother can perhaps have them. Here are some other works in progress:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2170775315/" title="cd covers by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2130/2170775315_c41e4501de.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="cd covers" /></a><br /><br />I made some simple covers for cds in a kind of cd swap/trade. I used paper that I folded, some pictures from a magazine, glue and my sewing machine. Very easy.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2171572670/" title="wip + zam by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2400/2171572670_2456b958f1.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="wip + zam" /></a><br /><br />No, it's not for Zam. But he was the only photo model I could find in my bed room ... I'll make another one soon.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stelpalitla/2171572652/" title="wip + zam by maria nenita, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2226/2171572652_ac9f8f5467.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="wip + zam" /></a><br /><br />This will be a sock.mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07175927674675156646noreply@blogger.com0
