Few years ago I bought 2 big skeins of Crochet-King Brilliant cotton yarn in a local store. I managed to make 4 projects during few years. And I love them all. The colour of the cotton is natural with added gold thread. Let's start from the latest one.
1. My first crocheted dress which I finished in summer 2011
White Bunny is knitted from soft high quality Merino wool (a part in white) and Noro silk garden (a part in blue). It is filled with soft 100% polyester and has got black onyx beads for eyes and as well as embroidered nose and mouth. The height with ears is about 15 cm.

Let me introduce Mike. Mike is teddy bear made from quality light cream PERLE cotton by using a crochet hook 1 mm. He is filled with soft 100% polyester and has a removable hand crocheted jacket and hat in traditional Christmas colours.
I just wanted to knit something comfy for cool evenings. This garment knitted with Italian cotton (can't remember the manufacture's name) and 4 mm needles. The neck is finished with crochet hook. The pullover was about one size bigger after finishing but it shrink after washing and now I'm very happy how it fits.
It's my first biscornu. Made with DMC cotton on Aida 14.
Is this time for Christmas preparations yet?
Slow cooker is one of my favourite kitchen appliances. It helps to prepare healthy and tasty dishes quickly and easily. Just need to prepare all ingredients, pop them into the slow cooker and switch it on. You can leave it to cook on its own while you are out or busy with something. You can also set up the timer and your food will be ready by the time you want!
So below is one of my favourite recipe:
Sweat pepper stuffed with pork mince and carrot
- Preparation time: 20 minutes.
- Slow cooker setting: low
- Cooking time: 4.5 hours
I bought last 4 balls of DMC Senso cotton on sale in a local shop. The actual quantity of yarn wasn't enough for a big project so I've decided to knit a little cardi. I like the quality of this cotton yarn and the final result. The Mini on last picture is not mine. This car was so cute so I decided to take a photo.
I received my order with 5 skeins of Noro in colour S304 and 1 skein of Crazy Zauberball in colour 2092 today.
I'm planning to make a pullover and pair of socks. I've never ever knitted socks. So it's will be a small challenge for me. But should I finish my current project first?!
Do you like sunflowers? I do! These bright yellow flowers are very beautiful and bubbling with life, they look like a small sun in your hands. It’s my trial project in decoupage technique – sunflower flower pot.
