Pincushion "Basket"

Last summer I tidied up a bit my stash and found these wooden bells, we used some years ago to make pincushions. They got a place near to a bag of Halftilas and this idea was born:

To leave the legal limbo you get something new. This pattern is printed. You find it in my etsy-shop.

Dragon

This is a nice idea by "Bizsuteri Design" from Hungary using Crescent-Beads:

Easy to bead and very dramatic.

Poppy

One of my British friends is a volunteer in the British Legion. She was asked, if it is possible to use the symbol in a piece of jewellery.  

Here is my necklace:

Violetta

Although I did not post for a long time, I am not inactive. I am preparing the new school-year.
Then I try something new. Here is a photograph to give you an idea.

This mouse is crocheted. It did not want to be on a picture, so the photograph is not really nice.

Geckos

I found this pattern on Pinterest.

The necklace is made with seed beads 15° and 15 beads per round.

Sonokos Way with drops

Today I present the next necklace following the instructions of Sonoko Nozue. This time I used seed beads 8° and drops 3,4 mm.

Sonoko's way

In the Bead & Button Magazine from February 2014 explaint Sonoko Nozue her way of bead croching. Now I tried it myself.
I do not know, if I have read the pattern correctly. But I like the result.

I used 3mm pearls and facetted beads of the same size.

Minions

Last Wednesday my grandchildren finally got there christmas presents. Now I can show you the both Minions I crocheted.

This is Stuart, who lives now with our grandson Nicolás.
Bob stays with Valerie.

Both are crocheted with seed beads 15° and 42 beads per round.
