"Papier maché" pumpkins.

Not just for Fall these would look great sitting in a window, on a shelf or in a bowl or basket all year long.

The tallest one measures about 4 inches tall and 2 1/2 inches wide. The smallest one measures alittle more than 2 inches tall and is 2 inches wide. Started with a foil base then covered with paper mache they are painted then antiqued.

Halloween Coffee Cup Cozys

Another little film about my coffee cozys colection.
This is a compilation of Cozys with Halloween and Harestt theme print.
It is a perfect holiday gift that can be useful all the year around!



CUFFE - knitted coffee cup cuffs

I made this beautiful film with my cuffés - knitted coffee cup holders.
They are all of my original design and pattern. They all are two-colored and also cable knit, that makes them quite difficult to produce. But I like challenge! They also have a particularity, although they were not knitted in circle but on 2 knitting needles, they are seamless. I used "grafting" technique to join the edges together, and you will not be able to find the seam! It is very time consuming and needs some experience.

These "cuffés" can also be work as wrist warmers or bracelets.

I will soon be adding "cuffés" patterns to my etsy shop, so stay tuned!

Halloween is in the air! I can feel it! It gave me the inspiration to create something new - pumpkin amigurumi.





Amigurumi comes from Japanese language and means "knitted stuffed toy", usually miniature animals, fruits or vegetables but can also be an anthropomorphic creature.





My amigurumi pumpkins are knitted with acrylic yarn on knitting needles N:4. I created 2 versions of pumpkin amigurumi, both are knitted with 2 knitting needles. An experienced knitter can also knit them in circle with 4 or 5 needles.
They are about 2 and a half inches diameter and 2 inched high.

They can be used for Halloween and fall decoration, and they can decorate your kitchen all year round. They can be a cute gift and children wil adore playing with them. My son loves them!
