Christmas rabbits with X-mas trees

The second group of rabbits arrived just on New Year's Eve. This time not only they are funny, but they've also found funny x-mas trees.

The winter boots and trees are made of hand felted wool. The rabbits are 15 cm high.

Puzzle ball

Puzzle ball. Quite big one 9" for a small baby girl. I really enjoyed doing it. You can undo it in tree separate circles and then assemble together again.

In fact it has many names: Amish ball, Takane ball, Montessori ball etc.

Christmas rabbits 2018 - first batch

Two funny Christmas rabbits. And still more is to be done. No matter how hard I try couldn't finish them all by Christmas holidays :(

Anyways, meet these two guys! They are ready for celebrating Christmas and New Year 2018. This time I made them with Russian special winter felt boots - "VALENKY"!

Height - 14 cm.

The was a sea creature presentation at my son's school. So I decided to try my hands on that as well, taking into account that I have a wardrobe full of different unthinkable materials which are just waiting their time to be used for ages :)))

Actually what I made are a mask and a fin, which I stitched to the shark t-shirt.

Fox outfit for a small girl

All started from buying a nice foxie dress for my daughter (1 year old) for attending a birthday party. I liked that dress a lot and decided to make it accomplished with some accessories.

So I made a foxie bag, hair clips and a broach.

The broach and clips are all from fusible beads.

Quilted grocery bag dispencer

Can't stop making different fabric storage baskets. These time it's a grocery bag dispenser. There are lots of tutorials in the Internet. I have chosen this one, but with some changes. Before that all such bags were stored in a bulky plastic bag hanging behind the door on the door knob, and making it difficult to open that door completely. Not to mention that there were a mass of different bags half of which were not used at all.

Now everything is organized!!!

Store and play - storage box and play mat

I was planning for a long time to make a play mat for my son, and couldn't finalize the project till I came across with this nice pattern on Etsy from CozyNestDesign. It seemed to be a great solution to my dilemma. Luckily I found nice fabric which suits to the idea of car play mat with ready roads and another necessary designs to play with cars.

So here how it came out.

Transparent bag for toys

This one made following the tutorial Clear Toy Storage Bags (with drawstring closure).

Very nice idea especially for small toys and constructors.

Summer hats

To be more precise one bonnet and one summer hat (bucket style).

Here is the pattern for the sun bonnet.

And here is the pattern for the summer hat. Though it's in Danish I think instructions are clear if you use google translate.

Here is another pattern for the summer bucket hat which I'm going to try next time for my daughter.

Jewelry,jewelry, jewelry

Some of them made on order.

Hair pins

Two types of hair pins, first trial.

This one is faux bone.

Rabbit and cats

New trial, new style of rabbits. I decided to change something in usual rabbits. That's what has come out.

Fabric basket for ironed clothes

I think it's only in India you can find special points (booths) where you can give your clothes for ironing. They are situated almost on every street. People there are ironing with heavy irons run on charcoals all day long.

I came up with the idea of a bag where you can see the number of clothes laid in layers. The top and bottom part of the bag are quilted. In the center the clear vinyl strip. At the back of it there is a transparent pocket for a slip of paper to write the total for the ironing services.

Size of the bag is approx 15 X 15,5 X 12 inches. Quite spacious!
