Hello lovelies! Happy monday to everyone!

DIY your weekend::: Mug cozy

Good evening lovely people and a Happy Valentine's day to you!  It would be nice to organize a crafty weekend with your valentine! This time the idea came from my larder, cause I'm a mug collector! 

I'm not sure where my 'obsession' with mugs came from:::  I can only say that in every shop I came I want to stop by and admire  (or buy) them! Therefore now that I'm a crafter (!) I want to customize every blank mug I see! I'm happy to share with you few nice ideas, realized exploring a wide range of materials and tecniques. The first DIY is from 'Le idee della Vale' a super cute blog full of nice DIY, whereas the last is a cozy crochet project perfect for S. Valentine so happy hooking!

Pop Pochettes

Hello crafty people, happy monday to everyone! Thank you for all your kind comments on my striped handwarmer pattern::: I feel very blessed to have this space to share my crochet adventures! Just popping in to show you my finished pochettes! I crocheted them in september and I could have finished it ages ago but as usual I was doing other crafty things along side it! But now I'm excited to show you the fully realized crafts:::  

Everything to do with thread, fabric and  machine sewing, has been intriguing me but I have no experience in, so my friend Carla help me to end the job! The fabric used for me is perfect cause I like dot blot sooo much and I'm so glad to have found this fabric in grey.

I love the way this pochettes has turned out::: I have change the pattern a little because I used two different yarn and the tension was quite different. I create the pochettes in two different sizes:  the bigger and the smaller one perfect as a cosmetic bag!

Last week I take part in two amazing  link party so big hello to new followers!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great week ahead!
