i had this fabric for such a long time now, received it with a swap and had no idea what to do with it.
Finally i found a project to use it for. Antoinette looks absolutely pretty in it, though Emi doesn´t seem to happy....
Maybe because she knows, that she has to share it soon.
love,

The dress is made from high quality printed cotton fabric from HobbyHobbyra.
I
have a lot of fabric from HobbyHobbyra which i store here for already 3
years. It is all so cute and i am kind of afraid to use it. ^_^;
Delicate places of the dress are handsewn as always. Using the machine for it is impossible for me.
The set includes crochet headband and dress. Hope you like it!
available at It´s a Tafetta Day*

Have i already shown you my new sewing machine? No i don´t think so!
It´s an old Veritas from the early 80´s East-Germany DDR. I loo~ve it! Everything is still made of metal, not that cheap plastic you get today, which brakes so easily. It has some really nice features included too, still works well and was only € 20,-. How great is this?! :D
So, it´s time to get Florentine finally some new clothes....not an easy job, as i have no patterns for her size.
First try, some trousers.... obviously too small. I have to alter the pattern a little bit again. But she looks adorable in trousers ,)
The dress was made with an resized blythe pattern. The new pattern still needs a little work on it, but so far i am pleased :D ... and florentine finally has her new dress

I did not have much time for internet activities lately, which doesn´t mean i haven´t been crafty the last 2 month. I just didn´t find the time to share things on here or on flickr.
Mr. P and me celebrated our 1-year anniversary just recently, and i made him this crocheted pen-case. The yarn was found on our local farmers market some year(s) ago, it´s handspun and hand-coloured with biological colours. i like its variety of green so much and will probably reuse it in fall again.
The lining is a small-printed fabric from Japan with hand stiched love-message on it. Everybody can guess what it means probably :D
Sorry for the poor quality and presentation of pictures, but i had been in a hurry while photographing ,)

This apple-brooch took me about half an hour. Wet-felted wool, stitched on the branch and leaf and added little brown beads at the bottom... voilá.
The next pattern for the lace is from a German book called "Alte Häkelspitzen", publisher: Rosenheimer Verlag.
It contains a collection of antique crochet lace patterns. A really wonderful book!
finally finished a new crochet project, a set of 3 coasters, inspired by the colors of winter.
hope you like them.
i also came up with this bracelet already some time ago. originally i planned to make a little doily out of it, but the further i moved on with it, the less i liked the color. i have a lot of dark furniture around my room and i just missed the colour kick in it. Nevertheless, it´s a nice color to wear in autumn and winter. Finished it of with some big shimmery mother of pearls beads and this cute button.
yes, yes, i have been crafty the last week and made a little basket out of some IKEA paper packing cords i just bought for this purpose already some while ago.
i am probably buying some more, they where just 1 Euro each. I couldn´t work long on it though, only 6 or 7 rows a day. The material is pretty rough and my fingers were all red and started to hurt pretty soon. lol
i am planning to use it in the bathroom to store my accessories in it. I like the simple and plain colours, remind me of the beach ^_^
edit: cappuccino with whip cream, haha..... Thank you Miriana ^_^v
