#Handmade - Another handbag

Another handbag, recycled from a rice bag (including the zipper).
I need to fix a few stitches at the bottom (too thick for the machine, I screwed up and should have cut that part) & also need to sew the zipper ends by hand.
But I really, really love this one!

Free pattern in Swedisch / Kostenloses Muster auf Schwedisch.
But what you need is mainly the Diagram to sew it together, no mystery here / Alles was man wirklich braucht, ist das Diagram zum zusammennaehen. Wirklich keine Kunst :-)

This pair's for hubby. One turned out a wee bit smaller, ran out of yarn :-/

#365 - My beautiful 'hood

I try to ignore it most of the time.

About this spot, I can write a photo story....maybe I will one of these days.

From 365 - 2014

And this one is the dumping ground for trash left in appartments when people leave or get new furniture.

Once a month it gets cleaned up.
Newest thing is to dump food Leftovers all over the place. Great!

The sun was peeking through the clouds in a deep orange / red.
Taken a photo with the phone cam, but alas, that didn't work out too well...

#365 - fog

This weather is weird.
It's one moment cold, then it gets warm, in the afternoon yo freeze your butt off
then it gets warm again. And I don't know, but to me, it's the coldest winter,
I've experienced in Kuwait so far.
Not really complaining, I am dreading the coming summer :-/

#365 - Early morning

An icy cold, but glorious morning.
Yes. Cold!
Approx. 3C, felt like close to Zero.

#Handmade - Boomslang Mini

Finished :-)

Free pattern here 

Approx. 180st CO, in retrospect 150st would have been enough, which would have made the cowl wider. 
Oh well. 
I did a stretch of simply stockinette to make it a bit wider. 
It works, it’s cozy and it’s WARM :-) 
I love the yarn!

#Kuwait - Fahaheel beach, April 26th 2007

A new series, that will also make me dig and clean deep in my archives ;-)

Inspired by 1001 Street chairs in Cairo (I might also put them all on tumblr)

From the beginning all the old chairs around Kuwait and reused Couches have fascinated me.
And I took loads of photos.

OK, this is not one of them, but the first object you can sit on from my archives ;-)

Hope you enjoy the new series :-)

#Handmade - Ringelpulli

RingelRingelReihe,...

Bin ich froh, dass Du fertig bist ;-)
Fertig war er an sich schon lange, nur war ich mir nicht sicher, ob Arme oder nicht.
Ohne Arme keine Kekse, imho, nun mit Armen ;-)

I had it finished since a while, but was not sure if I should add arms or not.
I did and am fairly happy with the result :-)

#365 - Cherry / Kirsch muffins

My Mom sent me this recipe the other day - they are yummy and so easy! She replaced the cherries from the glass with cherry yoghurt. I might add something fruity next time though. I added some coconut. Recipe in German / Rezept auf Deutsch

#365 - Fresh milk and more

I was such a happy camper today (and still am).
Found fresh milk, without  preservatives at Sultan Center in Fahaheel.
Not ridiculously overpriced either.

Tasted the Laban (similar to buttermilk). It's good!
Almarai is a bit fuller from the taste, but I do like this one.

From 365 - 2014

I also went material (and magazine) shopping.

Had to check if the stores in Fahaheel have different things than my shop here in Mangaf.

They are all fairly similar, but sometimes you Luck out.

I'm taking part in a sewing challenge for 2014.

This one will become a skirt for the January challenge. I'm still missing the pattern for it though ;-)

From Handmade

And this one will be a dress, not sure yet for which month, since there are two coming up :-)

Pattern still missing as well.

I have some ideas though :-)

From Handmade

Also met bunches of friendly people, most of them highly, but pleasantly surprised that I use my own bags and not plastic bags. ;-)

#Handmade - Recycled blanky, aka the dog blanky

I wanted to do this since a long while, but knew
that due to the thickness it would be a pain.
It was.
It would need some more lines along the middle but for now
and for the first wash in a few days, it will do.

From Handmade

And it was obviously worth it ;-)
Didn't take them 5sec from the last pic I took to conquering it :-P

#365 - A new year, a new challenge

I know, I try this every year.
But I have to get my photo mojo back & this might actually work - who knows.

Anybody in for the challenge?
(Taking a photo with a 'real' camera every day. Showing whatever  I love to do these (looking back and see what happened / what I did), but never finish the year. And I need to get my photo mojo back )
