DIY Wednesday

So this weak I have been working on this crochets elephant.

The pattern is in danish, but i should be pretty easy to figure out.

I have been freestyling a little bit when it comes to the size of it, which made it a bit difficult since I had to make a piece exactly a like... but well I think I managed pretty well.
I do not have pictures of the process it selves, but I have midways through.

the yarn I bought in a danish store called Søsterne Grene, it's cotton and I used a whole grey, and very little black.

inside I put pillow stuffing, so it's possible to wash it
- it's possible to buy it in IKEA for not much, i think I payed 24 danish kroner

picture of the finished elephant....

it took me about four to five nights to make it, and when I say nights I mean about two to three hours at most.

The elephant is for my 2 year old nephew for christmas, hopefully he'll like it.

DIY Wednesday

So I'm taking you guys back about a month, to halloween.

For halloween H and I carved pumpkins.

I made my pumpkin from ideas I pictures I found around the internet.

I started with the mouth since this was the piece I knew would take the longest.



It was a struggle since I couldn't cut through because that would ruin the mouth, but I had to peel the outside, which ended with me cutting myself in the finger.

but in the end I ended up with a face looking like this.



It took sometime but was worthing in the end.

but since the back was boring, I decided to make something there and it had to be writing.
I had a lot of trouble cutting out the letters and some of them aren't perfekt, but in the end I was really happy about the result.



So this was my halloween pumpkin, if you guys made some, let me know please I would love to see more.
