What You Doing Wednesday Week 18

Wow the time is going soooo fast at the moment.

Life is a bit more busy with Little Red being at home.

He is loving every min. of it and the sun is helping!

Well I still haven't managed anymore on my cream earflap hat.

It still looks like this:

I also have a white beanie to go along with it:

And another white beanie:

You'll hopefully get to see what they are if I finish them by Friday ;-)

I haven't made any progress with my blankets but I'll

hopefully get back on track with them soon.

Guest Blogger Week 22 Hannicraft

I would like to say a huge welcome

to Hanni

 from Hannicraft

I would love to say "Thank you" to Susan for inviting me to be a guest blogger.
I am Hanni. I am blogging over at hannicraft.
I am living in the beautiful old Europe, in Hungary.
My blog was born in last November when I have started to crochet. 
Since then I just can't stop doing, it is the most addictive hobby I have ever had. 
I really love making handmade gifts for my family and friends and a few weeks ago I opened my own shop to sell my works. 

Crafting and blogging about my creations are my happy place after a tiring long day. 
During the past few month I was lucky enough to meet a supporting lovely community in the bloggy world. 
I am so greatful for that!

I am an open-minded and curious person by nature, who is always looking for new inspirations and things to try.
 I love sharing my patterns and projects. 

(Do you like the little peeps in my blog button? You can get their pattern from my blog!)

My most visited posts are my hats, mostly those ones, which was designed for little girls.
 I have made a few hats for my nieces: for Lily (3 month old)  and Juci (2,5 yo). 
The bear hat and the flower beanie was made in newborn size. 
The orange hat is for toddlers.

 

 

My true passion is making bags! I love sewing/crocheting/knitting bags/purses/totes... A girls just never have enough of them :) Since the birth of my blog I have made dozens! 

I have two absolutely favourite bags, which ones I made for myself.

 These ones are my knitted pompom purse and the pink striped handbag:

Sometimes I do other crafty things. 

I have just discovered the fun of making printables.

 Having a blog planner is so useful! I haven't even thought of it, when I jumped into the blog ocean :)

I am selling a few of finished objects in my little Etsy shop.

 If you like something on my blog, don't hesitate to contact with me!

Visit my blog to see my projects (mostly with patterns or with a link to the pattern). 

I hope that you will try one of my patterns! Recently I am working on adult hat designs for the autumn and winter seasons and of course on new bags.

I've Made Friday Week 18

I hope everyone is having a fantastic week

& has some lovely things planned for the weekend.

Little Red has finished school for the summer

& the sun has come out to play :-)!!!!!!!!

I'm afraid I'm going to be a bit hit and miss

when it comes to replying to everyone.

I will reply when I can

but with Little Red being home 

I'm not going to have as much time.

He is so excited because he is going to turn 6 in the holidays

He is one of the youngest in his class so has

missed out on quite a few things because of his age.

All his friends started beavers but he wasn't old enough to.

Well I have managed to finish some hats this week.

The black beanie turned into:

After painting the Volcano and letting it dry

we put bicarbonate soda in and poured 

red dyed vinegar in it.

It was a big success and an even bigger success at school.

Now what have you been making this week?
