Creating during Corona

There were the „very nice mice“ of Ann Wood, fascinating

to make - and they are all gone and living somewhere else

Grandchildren took them as companions for summer

 

Those „keychains“ are practical and vey much used

Tanja Steinbach of SWR Kaffee oder Tee had this crochet lantern

in her little show - I - not lazy - of course had to create it

Dotee dolls - I love small things to make

My every too small hip bag was replaced by this one. Finally

large enough to carry the cell phone, the keys, the cap, a scarf 

This pair of mice are still waiting for their tails

Stitched eye - I used Milas photo as model

A tutorial with Emily Tull of the TextileArtist.org

and my eye

This was another workshop with Emily Jo Gibbs, 

week 5, appliqué. I took a branch of our Magnolia

it is stitched with a shadow






The branch of the Magnolia

Summer Twenty Twenty

Summer started for us in Croatia in June - I had the Adriatic

Sea for myself - can you see me? Ok, it was in the morning

but also later on it was never crowded due to the horrible virus.

Our favorite Park Café - where they have internet for us with just

a cup of excellent coffee - and it is cool inside - people had to keep

distance inside or outside



This is not our yacht - we like our two wheels

Below: We were absent for three weeks - this belonged

to grandson #1 - looks crispy

I had more luck with outside plants

And back again with coffee guests




Mice which I love more than the real ones - very nice mice

They are from Ann Wood handmade

pattern-and-instructions-and-its-free/

...and it is free and so wonderfully explained




Small practical things, I am reading the posts of

www.sewcanshe.com - she shows lovely little things to

create. Summer was too hot for larger projects.

Below:
This is a Tanja-Steinbach-creation - a crocheted lantern

I took it with me for an „outside-sit-in“ with friends in

Blackforest - naturally with a battery-powered little candle

Walking - this is also Blackforest - high up - 620 above sea level

no fir trees - even corn fields and villages

And again the dotee dolls - I love small

This is the end for now

I will show much more soon
