Another crafting love of mine!

Morning and hello! 

Today do I have a little different craft to show off. Since I went on sick leave August 2020 have I spent quite a lot of time with my crochet needle. It keeps me off thinking about how I feel and calms me down. I don't have to think much when crocheting. 

I found a project called Tröstemöss (=Comfort mice) which is a charity project that makes small toys for kids that for some reason ends up at the hospital. They are given to them to give some comfort and give them something else to think about when they are scared. We have finally found an ambassador that take care of the hospital here in Kalmar. That wash and dry and check the little animals before they are handed over to the hospital. I had saved most of the toys I have made during these years and two weeks ago did I finally got to hand over my toys, and they will finally come to good use. I had 477 to hand over to A:A. So pleased with myself and I am happy that those kids are treated better than I was when being at the hospital as a kid.

I have now started a new batch and now will it be easier to hand over to a our ambassador and I will not have to send them by mail.

Find yourself a project that will make you feel good and take part in it!

Christmas Cheers-19-23

 Morning and hello!

It's the last day of November 2023 and it's time for yet another Christmas card made for friends and families this year. It's so much fun to make these cards all year long. 

This card is made with a hÄnglar and Wings image that is a bit older. It's called hÄngla med lykta. It's retired but still a lovely image, that I really enjoyed coloring and I have used mainly promarkers for this one. I have paired the lovely hÄngla together with designer papers from Maja Design. The papers are from the paper pad called Christmas Wonderland. 

I made a few flowers that is typical for Christmas here in Sweden. I have them only as fake ones as they are poisonous for cats, and besides that do they not like the heating system here. Too much moving air! A white ribbon and a few die cut trees made with a Magnolia die and then some pearls to that. A good match for this Christmas card!

Hope I have been able to bring some inspiration for you with this creation. Until next time, take care and do take some time to do something for yourself!

Love n hugs

Marie

Mini-Monday on a Wednesday

Morning and hello!

Well, it's not Monday but I post a Mini-Monday card anyway. I have many of them made and I have posted truly little during this month so why not get one more post more up here.  

This is one more MIni-Monday card that I already have sent away to a different part of the world. The photos were taken in a hurry and therefor a bit off in colors and things like that, but I hope you get the feeling of the card. Hopefully will my pen pal get some joy out from it. 

The sparkly sky is a piece of paper from Lawn Fawn from last year or the year before that. Have tons of it left. Always buy too much, right?

Well then, thanks for looking see you soon again!

Love n hugs
