Cross-stitch: Snoopy and Friends

I'm happy to find this photo in my computer. It was taken many years ago, after I have finished and washed this cross-stitch project.

I learned cross-stitch in high school and it came to a point when I would spend my free time cross-stitching, and my extra money on patterns and DMC floss. I remember summer vacations by the cross-stitch projects I finished.

I have a small collection of Snoopy books and I still reread them from time to time :)

Handmade Popsicle

I've been wanting to crochet a scarf using the yarn I received from a swap last April, but over the weeks I had one custom request after another (with materials ranging from thread to yarn to clay to wire & beads). I am behind creating items to sell in my other store, behind writing in this blog. Anyway, here is another of my finished mini charm made early this month.

Handmade Mini Popsicle

All parts big and small were made without the use of molds,
as in the others I posted here :)

Amigurumi Alley Cats

The crochet pattern can be found here

These arrived in Germany safely, how happy I was when I learned of it. I was worried that the box of cats would get lost in the mail.

Handmade Mushroom

Here is a mini mushroom charm I made :)
When I started claying, I wanted to make something like this but I never got around to doing it. Just recently I received a request to make one, and here is the result :)

Snail Mail Day: A Package from England

Today is a special day - I am now a proud owner of Pink-Petal-Designs items! I received Sarah's swap gift in the mail and am so happy :) Even the wrapping is so pretty! Thank you very much!!! Sarah is so talented! Her items are so well-made, it is obvious that they are made with lots of care and patience :) And to share them with me - thank you very, very much!

These are the lovely handmade items she sent me:

Small notebook with cover

A pair of cute flower hair clips

Pencil roll with colored pencils!

A doorstop

Passport Cover

Flower pin



A placemat

2 balls of lovely and soft yarn

I am so happy, I've never received presents these much ever! I am alone in our home right now, nobody is here with me to share the joy. Now I have a small notebook to carry with me to maybe draw or jot down ideas whenever I'm away from home. And the pencil roll is a wonderful idea, thank you for the pencils! :)

Thank you very much, Sarah! To see more lovely stuff, please visit http://pink-petal-designs.blogspot.com/

Thank you for visiting :)

Hello & thank you for visiting!

I am new to blogging and am still figuring out the site but thank you for dropping by - welcome to my simple site :)

This started with a swap and perhaps I'd get to write about other swaps too in the future :) I will be posting my craft projects here, and also things I like.

Thank you and have a nice day :)

A Package to Europe

I am finished with my stuff for Sarah (a very talented lady who makes a variety of handmade goods). I hope she will like these stuff I have prepared for our swap :)

My swap will be delivered by this little flower-loving mouse :)

How "little" is she? I don't know! :)

But we can all tell that she wants to go to England.

I made her using my pattern & cotton thread


Of course, she cannot go on her own.
She will be accompanied by her mother.

Should they go hungry in transit, they have these with them.

Here they all are:


I have turned the little one into a cell phone charm.
I attached a small pink bell.

I will mail them today and I hope they will arrive safe :)
