Knitted Baby Boots

I went crazy for knitting recently and now I'm looking for every reason to knit something. Yesterday I started a small project to knit a present for my friend who got a baby about a month ago.

I decided to knit baby boots for her son.
These are my very first baby boots I've ever made, I was really struggling at the beginning. After the third trial I finally understood how to do it and how to read all the shortened words on the pattern instruction.

Yes, I needed to google some of them and then I needed to see on Youtube how to do some of the things. I did do proper knitting back in school on fifth grade and we did only a pair of mittens, so I can say all what I learned at school I have already forgotten many years ago.

This baby boots pattern I found on the website love knitting. I liked the website, from there you can find so many free patterns, but also there are patterns that are worth of paying since they are really cheap

Knitted Hearts

What beats 100-0 Sex and the city on a Saturday night? Knitting, last night I spent my evening knitting, well let's say I was trying to knit. It took a while before it became actually knitting. Last time when I touched knitting needles and yarn was somewhere in a secondary school, long time ago, so let's say I'm a beginner.

Youtube and Google as a help to find out what all those "knitting English" meant. And after that I thought it would be 20 minutes and I would have a knitted heart. The tutorial said it takes approximately 10 minutes, so I gave half of the time more for me to do it, well my 20 minutes became 40 minutes eventually. But I did it, I knitted my very first heart ever, it does look like it's the first, but at least It has the heart shape.






I love this idea of hearts and since it's Valentine's day coming, it's gonna be so cute on a card or just sending the hearts in an envelope

Viime Päivien Puuhia






Viime päivien puuhia siinä. Nyt on otettu geelit käyttöön taas ja harjottelu jatkuu! Parin viikon päästä sisko on tulossa taas käymään, joten saan tehä iha ensimmäiset kynnet jollekkin muulle kon ittelleni. Kahtotaa mitä siitäki tulee, toivottavasti ihan hyvät!


Ja sitte tosa yks yö kon en saanu unta väsäsin yhestä valokuvakehyksestä avainnaulakon. Jospa vielä oppis laittamaan ne avaimet sinne aina kon ei niitä tarvii, ni ei joka päivä tarttis suurta avainmen metsästystä harrastaa

Ja viimesin kuva on mitä postimies toi eilen mukanaan. Tilasin Etsy.com sivustolta tollatteet maitopullot! Söpöt on, mut oli niillä jonki verta hintaaki, tai no postikulut oli ne mitkä maksopaljon, pullot makso about kolme euroo yhteensä

DIY Calendar





Tänää oli muutama tunti aikaa ennen ko piti läskiä töihin ja päätinpä alkaa väkertämää taas kerran jottain.

Sain aikaan seinäkalenterin. Aamupäivällä kon kävin piipahtamassa keskustassa tuli tuhlatua pikkusen rahaa, mut on seki sallittua aina välillä.
Mukaan tarttu:

- kartonkia
- narua
- pyykkipoikia

Tossa on siis kaikki mitä tohon kalenteriin tarvittiin, helppo tehä ja pääsi näpertämään kaikkee pientä!
Mittasin jonki verta sitä narua, solmin ne yhteen. Pyykkipoikiin kirjotin päivän nimet ja kartongista leikkasin lappuja mihin sitte voi kirjotella mitä sitte ikinä on viikoille suunnitelmissa. Ja lopuks kiinnitin ton koko höskän kiinni taulukoukuilla

I needed to spend couple of hours before I had to go to work. To spend this time I decided to create a calendar, cause I have only calendar for 2011... Needed a little update. 

Earlier in a morning I went to a center and did little shopping, it's okei to spend money sometimes. 
My shopping list was: 

- Cardboard
- string 
- clothespins

That was everything I needed for this calendar, it's really easy to do and didn't take too much time. I took a length of the string which I thought was long enough for 7 clothespins. I did too levels for the calendar and second piece of string needed to be a little longer, cause I wanted it to hang a bit. 
Then I wrote all the week days on the clothespins and then cut pieces of cardboard and wrote just some things what I will do in upcoming days. In the end I hanged this thing on the wall

Köyhän elämää, jos ei löydy jotain pakko keksiä se sellassista asioista joita omistaa jo valmiiks. Tosiaan kon sain ne kaks kukkaa eilen töistä, niille ei löytyny mitää sopivaa maljakkoa, tai siis en omista ainuttaka sellasta. Lasissa ne ei meinannu pysyy, ois saanu nyysiä ne niin lyhkäsiks et ne ois kellunu siinä veden päällä.

Muistin et oon joskus nähny kuvan jossaki netissä, hehkulampusta joka on tehty maljakoks. Joten päätin yrittää sellasta, kon tuolla nurkassa oli pyörimässä yks (tän kämpän omistajan hehkulamppu?). Nyt sille tuli käyttöö, toivottavasti ei tuu kaipaamaan sitä enää takasin

Life of a poor, if you don't have something, you gotta make it of something you already have. So those flowers which I got from work yesterday needed a vase. Well I don't have them, but some time ago I saw a picture on internet where was a lightbulb and it was turned into a vase. I wanted to try out this, cause I had one useless lightbulb (probably it's the owner of this apartment?) but I needed it and hopefully he's not gonna need it anymore

DIY: Washing Dishes with Jack Daniels


kuva: Täältä

Selailin vähä kaikkee DIY tekeleitä ja onnistuin löytämään jotain minkä oikeesti haluun toteuttaa! Lilyn sivuja tutkin ja sitten se tupsahti siihen nenän eteen. 

Näyttää aika makeelle, nyt vaan pitää joku käskee ostamaa pullo Jack Danielsia ja kon se on tyhjennetty ni tulee pullo uusio käyttöön ;) Miun keittiöstähä tulee oikeen hienon näkönen ja sitte jos vielä jotain muuta tällästä kivaa löytäis vaikka eteiseen taikka sitten tähän miun elohuoneeseen

I was going through some DIY projects and I found this awesome project I really want to do. It was on Lily's website and it got my attention. 

It looks pretty cool, now I just gotta find someone whose willing to buy bottle of Jack Daniels and to drink it of course. And when it's done, I'm going to reuse it ;) My kitchen will look pretty great after little details like this and it would be perfect if I would find some other DIY project to the hall way or for this my little life room

Taiteilua

Some days ago I found really nice blog about handicrafts, HulluDecor. I found something cool on the blog, small blackboard made of decoration board.

It was easy to do and actually it didn't take much time. I think the hardest part was to find back board which was smooth and right size.

After I was painted the back board, I let it dry for 24 hours and it was done! (:
I will definitely look for other posts on this blog, maybe I'll find something else awesome to do ;)
