Mimi's Crafty Nook

Craftwise, I just knitted a bit  yesterday. I love 💖this yarn by Borgo de' Pazzi. It's an Italian brand, and they produce as eco-friendly as possible. It's always top quality and honestly, their prices are nice too. This particular one is a recycled Merino (70%), a bit stiffer than a 'new' merino wool when knitting, but after the first wash it's as squishy and soft as one expects from merino. In other craft news, a lovely package came in the post with some more yarn (one can never have enough yarn), and some buttons 😍(more than just that one pack, but I'm not sharing those yet 😋), and yup, that's christmas fabric 😏. (I just noticed how bad this picture is 😧) I've saved the most exciting news for last (well, exciting for me). Yesterday, my lovely husband suggested we rearrange some rooms, so I get a craft room all to myself! Admitted, I've been hinting at this for several weeks, how nice it would be to have a space I could close ...

Making a start on these things is always a bit difficult for me... So no big introductions, you'll get to know me by and by. This place is intended as a motivation to keep crafty every day (which isn't always easy, having 2 jobs and a household...) This is a fashion doll dress I recently finished, based on a pattern by Lisse of stickatillbarbie.se. (I still need to work on my camera skills 😅.) All info on the pattern can be found here on Ravelry. 😉
