In August Melanie intorduced a challenge: The Craft Olympic Athlete. I had all kinds of plans for it and think that I only kept to one. But, I did manage to start 3 new techniques and picked up one that I hadn't done for ages.
Below you see some of the bracelets I made using a very thick knitting and crochet needle. (thimble 3)
In augustus is Melanie een uitdaging met ons aangegaan: The Craft Olympic Athlete. Ik had veel plannen, maar ik geloof dat ik daarvan maar eentje heb uitgevoerd. Ik heb echter 3 nieuwe technieken uitgeprobeerd en eentje die ik al in geen jaren had uitgevoerd.
Hieronder zie je een paar armbandjes die ik gemaakt heb met een dikke brei- en haaknaald. (thimble3)
For the amber yellow braceletI used vintage buttons that I found in this old tin box.
Voor de goudkleurige armband heb ik oude knopen gebruikt die ik in dit blik heb gevonden.
This necklace is made from an old t-shirt in one of my favorite colors. (thimble 4)
De ketting heb ik van een oud t-shirt gemaakt. (thimble 4)

Daar is die weer (o: Deze schattige kerstboom heeft nog geen plek in ons huis gevonden. Ik zal het voor volgend jaar opbergen. Het gratis patroon kun je hier vinden. Kijk eens naar die kleine naaimachine. Die wil toch iedere quiltster in haar kerstboom!
Some more stitcheries I made over the past months.
Nog een paar werkjes die ik de afgelopen maanden heb gemaakt.

Another
fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!

You did some very unique crafting. The cross stitch tree is the sweetest thing. Now you're all prepared for next year's holiday decorating! Wishing you a happy and creative new year!!!
Happy New Year, Simone! Lovely new things you have made and congratulations for 5 thimbles! Great achievement!!! I also want to thank you for what you made for us; your cross stitches are so tiny and neat! I love the mug rug and the owls are so cute that I can't find the words!!! THANK YOU one more time, Simone!
WONDERFUL to see the remaining projects for your Thimble collection, Simone! LOVE the fiber jewelry--the-t-shirt necklace is especially stylish! Love that soft, lilac color. Great way to recycle! Your cross stitch tree is so charming. What a sweet thing to work on during the holidays, and be able to save for next Christmas. It's been such to see what you've chosen to work on during the Craft Olympics. And to see what we all have taken on as creative challenges. Here's to friendship & creativity shared in the New Year! Wishing you all the very best of LOVE, PEACE & JOY, my friend ((HUGS)) P.S. Many thanks for the birthday wishes. :o)
