Kittens!

"Wha'!? Los' yoh mi'ens, you naugh'y lil' ki'ens!" -S.N., 2012 

Made my sister a kitten brooch for christmas shown here in a never-before seen extraordinarily 

sharp and clear mac photo booth -image:

Anyways, so then yesterday I made some more, and I really feel like making more still, but I must refrain myself, for I really have no plans for what to do with them. Oh well.

Here they are, the five little kittens

...and some close-ups...

мяу, meow!

Fauna & Flora earrings

A Sunday morning devoted to some crafting!

Fimo-clay in turquoise and grey, wire, bead caps and tuned earrings parts:

Lace stud earrings

I cut these bits of lace from some lace ribbon and wanted to make some earrings with them.

Luckily for me, my sister  came up with this great idea!

Lace earrings how-to:

~ cut two pieces of lace to fit earlobe

~ stiffen them up with some craft glue

~ check where to attach the earring stud

~ glue the stud on with super glue and leave to dry

~ wear them! ...but take care, since they're quite delicate!

Very wool

I've finally used up most of the smaller balls of yarn I've had for the last few years, hurrah!

Presenting:

Very wool tassels

 Very wool basket 

(crocheted with three different shades of pink and grey at once, to get a thicker, sturdier basket!)

 And last but not least:

Very wool pompom garland

1, 2, 3...

Guess what these are?

Paint by number puppies!

Nice.

 Went to kierrätyskeskus to try and find something for a halloween costume, 

found some clothes but nothing funny enough to inspire a costume, boo,

but it was probably just yesterday when I was thinking about 

how cool (...) it would be to try some painting by numbers, 

and then today I found this real retro box for free from KK!

The paints are a bit dry, unsurprisingly, but how AWESOME!

I'm trying to decide if I'll just paint them like they're meant to be painted, or slightly differently..

Owl rings

Shrinky dink owls (Lapinpöllö & Tunturipöllö) before the oven:

and after the oven:

Hoot hoot!

Fancified cocktail sticks

I had my birthday party a few weekends ago and wanted to decorate my mini-pies, 

pizza bits and other nibbles with something more than just toothpicks or cocktail umbrellas,

so I took a bunch of toothpicks and stuck some beads to the ends of them.

and when you're done with the party, you just slip the beads off to use in other projects!
