Red wristies


I have already made a few of the same model. I am learning how to make my own patterns. This is my last wristies of the same sort.

Mrs.Beaton Wristies


Oh, how I just love my Mrs Beaton Wrist warmers. I was determined to learn how to knit this wristies. I came in touch with www.mariagarner.se and since she gives private courses, I took an hour lesson from her and whalla...... my very first Mrs. Beaton. I can't wait to wear them in Winter. I am already in process of making a second one. Will add the pictures once they are done. ;-)

Wristies without beads






Wristies for my mother-in-law

She just loves green. Here I have knitted with black beads. I got one wristies knitted by a friend of mine for my mother-in-law and she can't live without it now. So I was really delighted that I could knit one for her and she was sooooooo happy with it.

Brown and lime...

...my favourite colours. The lime beads used here are the japanese glass beads. My third pair.

Wristies

This is my second one accomplished. Just love the black and the red beads. Wristies are taking the world by storm with people wearing Wristies for all sorts of reasons. Mostly people like them because they just help them keep warmer.

Hooked on knitting

I have always told myself that I would never ever learn how to knit. Hmmm.....well believe it or not, a working colleague of mine talked me into just "dropping by" where she had classes and I got hooked right away. This is my very first I have ever knitted, a wrist warmer with beads. I have always liked wearing wrist warmers and now finally I could make one myself and am very proud of it. Thanks to my colleague, Annelie.

My third attempt

The "home sweet home" was cross stitched and then stitcked on the canvas, made it for Agnes for her new apartment.

Canvas nr 2

This is my second attempt on canvas for a dear friend of mine, Petra. That little heart and the ribbon bow is cross stitched and chipboards used here are bought from Panduro Hobby here in Stockholm.

Canvas

I have always wanted to give it a go with canvas and this is the result. The paper used here is from Karen Fosters collections. I have first cross stitched the "Home sweet home" and the horse shoes and then sticked it on the canvas. This was a gift to my ex neighbour who just moved into their new place.

Ice-cream card

This card is certain to bring a smile to anyone´s face. I stitched the cone and back with iron-on interfacing and then sticked it to the card.

This elegant oriental inspired design is just perfect for any occasion. The fan is cross stitched first and then attached to the card with preety coin charms and beautiful papers. All from the Stitch & craft magazine.

The party dress was cross stitched first and then designed this super stylish wardrobe card for a fashion-conscious that is sure to flatter anyone´s mantelpiece!

Magical fairy card....

....completed with shimmering 3D wings. The butterflies were cross-stitched.

Luxurious chocolate card

Who could resist this luxurious box of chocolates. I know my mouth´s watering just to look at them. The bow is cross-stitched and back with iron-on interfacing.

The glamourous handbag


This stylish card is the perfect girly treat! Just love the embroidered high heels shoes. The luxury pearl effect is the perfect touch to this handbag card.

Floral Card


This was my first attempt to combining cross stitch and papercraft. It was a free gift that came along with the Stitch & craft magazine from UK. I just love that magazine.
