The first step to better times is to imagine them

Happy New Year 2012! 

I hope the creativity will flow this new year. Let the creativity bloom like a flower garden.

 

->Here's a tiny little crocheted flower for my flower garden. My mum made it for me. I sewed it on a rib-knitted headband that I had knitted.

I don't know how to crochet flowers. There are many things I do not know. I hope I will learn a lot of things during this new year.

2012: here's a message for you.  Please, give me wisdom and creativity. I don't want any dumbness or numbness. I want some courage and will-power. I don't want any weariness or fears. Or if you insist, please let the fear at least lend me some wings.

Recycling can be fun :)

Is this the future way of knitting? By reusing plastic bags?

Well, I decided to try it. I'm not sure if I like the result. However knitting with plastic was quite fun. Basically I cut out 1 cm wide pieces from plastic bags. The length of the pieces varied. The length is unimportant since it's easy to knot the different pieces of plastic together (place the knots on the reverse side).

It would be cool to knit a durable bag out of plastic bags, with a lot of different colours. For now I have knitted a simple little bracelet.

Edit. I have continued with some plarn knitting. I haven't knitted a bag, but a hairband. In this particular hairband you can find plastic from cookie packets, tissue packets, cotton balls bags and plastic bags.

                                                    

Lost at sea

Here's another sea glass object of mine. Basically it's a diadem, which I've decorated with a lot of small pieces of colourful sea glass (and loads of glue).

Sailing over wave and tide oh ho ho.

Fantastic waves against our sides oh ho ho.

And I'm not so afraid.

Lost at sea, as I should be.
