*_* ~ Kreadoe ~ *_*

Today I went with my MIL to the Kreadoe. like we did the last two years.

The Kreadoe is one of the biggest and most awesome fair for crafts and hobbies.

We had the best time, and so much fun

 Making cards.. the hobbie off my MIL

 Most of the pic's are from felt designers... 

Now you can see a bit what there all is.

Can you understand why it's my favorite craft at this time

 These where also awesome..
Making cupcakes and decorate cookies

 Look at that finger ;))))

On the note is written :

If you touch the pieces you will lose a finger

 The owl fabric I have.. really need to make a skirt like this next year

 And for another one of my favorite hobby

 This is very big thread totally a hit in the Netherlands, it's  knitted fabric, you can crochet or knit with.

Make pillows, bags, dolls... al kinds of things but then big..

Crochet hook 10 mm or 12 mm

 And the normal little pieces!!

@@@

I went by train.. easier and cheaper..

This was what I was doing in the train

 I'm back working on Kira her crochet blanket.
I came this far :

I met with a few craft lady's.

One of those is Petra, I got her hooked on felt pieces.

Yesterday she made her first ever felt piece and gave it to me.. isn't that sweet

Thank you so much Petra, have fun with your felt designs tommorow

So now I'm very tired, I think I'm going to bed..

Hugsssss

* ♥ Felt in a frame ♥ *

I have still so much to show you.

So making posts with one Sinterklaas craft and one other craft.

Today felt in a frame..

Sinterklaas always has his horse with him.

We call him Americo, such a beautifull white horse.

The planning for my side window is the cuddle pete's I made last year, with a still to make cuddle Sint, but also a Americo..

I love this pattern for years, so finally made it

 ♥ * ♥

 Nia used these frames for her beautifull Gorjuss stitching pieces.

From the first moment I saw them on her blog I was in love and thin of this pattern
( and more)

It was a very fun job to make this.. 

Kids like it so much!!

* ~ * ~ * ~ * 

Today a sweet colleague of mine is turning 55 years.

And tonight I have the change of working with her

She is crazy for elephants and cuddles..

Let the frame designer also have a elephant piece in a frame.

Got my needles and thread and made it.

 I put a white/pink fabric as backing.. I love how it turnes out!!

I really hope she will like it too

Two beautifull frames.

Between all teh rain rain rain rain.. today we have a sunny day.. 

so now I'm going outside, before the time is up and I have to work again!!

Have a great weekend

My boat.

♥ Thank you all for your wonderfull words on my last post ♥

------------------------------------------------------------

I promissed you pictures of my boat for Sinterklaas for weeks

In the meanwhile I finished the boat.

I made a lot of pictures of it...... beware.

 I put my table the other way, so I could move my craft and we could eat easely.. 

Now it back by normal.. lol..

So I sat every morning when kids where at school and every evening while kids where in bed

 The beginning. cutting bottom and deck

After handsewing the bottom and deck

Making both sides..
Everything is 2 layers for woolfelt with cardboard in between

 Cute and made the portholes

 Put the linchpen in them

 The text on the boat, this is how it is called  : Giftsboat 12

 Here you can see the sizes together

 The mast with the robes so Pete's can climb in them and chimney are on it..

 Then making the railing

 And Noah with the boat with a bit of basic crew, none of them are finished

-----------------------------------------

The boat is a construction kit..

I will show that now

 Here you can see the chambers in the boat..

You can make the office and bed of Sinterklaas, a room where the horse can sleep.

But fo now I;m not maing that..

 The deck lyes on top of the chamber 'walls'.

 The mast with flag garland

 Also the wheelhouse with his rescue band are on it

AND TADAAAAA the boat is done!!!

It was a big project.. but I loved making it..

In the meanwhile I made a lot of other things and crew for Sinterklaas..

More of that in the next posts..

So if you don't like Sinterklaas craft don't look at my blog the next months... ;)))))))

But I also have some other things to show

I wanna thank everyone for visiting my blog and especially everyone who leaves a comment!! 

 I love reading them!!

Rest In Peace

As you all have seen a few posts back we all over the world made a chain of blogfriend who are thinking of Cathey in her fight to cancer.
