La vache qui rit @tillieke - Tumblr Blog

Tried my hand at some French Beading this year for a Christmas gift. While I like the process and the result, I'm not convinced about my colour choice for the leaves. In my defence, I had to order the beads online and they looked waaaaay more green in the picture. Oh well, we live and learn ... 😅

I'm currently making another one for my mum with different coloured beads for the leaves, so I'll keep you posted on the outcome. I'm hoping it looks a bit more lively 🙈

Strawberry plant as a Secret Santa for my coworker.

Floral blanket I made for the ever lovely @sheeponmars 😊

This is the Spirit of Flora by Janie Crow. Deliberately picked some colours that were a bit more subdued. Yarn is Scheepjes Scrumptious, which is 50% recycled yarn and amazing to work with.

Mum says 7.30 is time for bed.

I gave my other octopus away so I made myself another one just because I can 😅

#crochet #crafts #tillieke #tw: octopus #That's my crochet for this year #My hope for 2025 is to try and draw one (1) thing again #one can dream #I do miss drawing :(

After finishing my first Trio blanket I made another one, because it was so fun! This time with Scheepjes Whirl Pistachi Oh So Nice, Key Lime Pi and Dandelion Munchies. I just love how green it is.

I also gave this one a border which I didn't with the previous one. But I quite like both versions.

Small needle felted landscapes in a teacup I made as Christmas gifts. The autumn scene found a new home with the ever lovely @sheeponmars.

Inspriration from the book Needle Felting for Beginners by Roz Dace & Judy Balchin (I highly recommend it. Would love to make a storm in a teacup as well)

Two crochet gift thingies I've made for @sheeponmars because she is awesome :)

Voyage shawl

Trio blanket

Both are free patterns and made with Scheepjes Whirls. The pictures don't really do it justice as I had about 4 seconds between finishing and sending it off and the blanket was too big to fit in one shot. Also I have poor planning skills 🤪.

They were both incredibly fun and relaxing to make 😀

#crochet #crafts #I still need to make a photo of my second octopus #apparently I am indeed a crochet blog now #I'm already making a second Trio Blanket 🙃#Although I really want to draw something again so bad - sigh

I also made a triangular scarf, just because I wanted to make something using the moss stitch/linen stitch as it looks so neat.

Pattern Yarn used is one whole Lion Brand Mandala cake

#crochet #crafts #lol have I turned into a crochet blog now 😆

Whoops, I've made another "small" crochet 😅. I made him because I had some yarn left from the centipede I made earlier. Is it weird I'm thinking of making another one? (tbh I've already started 🙈)

Pattern by Projectarian (easy to follow and lots of fun, just making all those suckers takes quite a while, but you can watch a tv show or listen to an audiobook while doing so)

#crochet #octopus #I'm having a crochet hyperfixation atm #which reappears every few years #still not ready to go back to drawing sadly #maybe I also need a new series to obsess over 😬

A decoupage skull I made for @sheeponmars :) I wish I had had a little bit more time to varnish more so it would be really shiny and smooth, but I still like how it turned out.
