Street Art - BERLIN - Kill the Cool

Abandoned buildings, old Nazi prisons, squats...art resides anywhere in Berlin



















Pom Pom Bunting and Tea with Lotster

I like getting surprise visits from my friends, especially when it includes tea and pom pom making < 3





Lanna's Who Knit

This year I want to expand my craft expertise, and there's a few areas I'm slacking in - the first being knitting. I've tried my hand at it in the past, starting with ten stitches, and ending with 17! Not bad if I was trying to make bunting, but not so accurate as squares!!

So last Wednesday, I went to knitting club to get taught by a pro knitter. I felt like one of those knitting nanas off of the Shreddies adverts, and quite aptly, I knitted some squares too...not quite Shreddies colour though! Hat's off to my teacher, I even managed to create SQUARES!! :D wayyheyy!!




Now I've learnt the art of the "knit" stitch, it's on to the purl.

To be continued....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Home Made Christmas...Kirstie Allsop MOVE ASIDE!

Finally I can post my handmade Christmas gifts!! I've been wanting to do this for sooo long, but couldn't risk any of the present-receivers discovering they're secret gifts! So here they are. Kirstie Allsop, move aside, Leanne Davies has arrived....

(I took inspiration for this cushions from an image I found on google, so I must give them part credit!)


(Bird House packaging...seems only appropriate to wrap the bird in its own house)









This is a calendar that I made for my boyfriend using all of his illustrations. Check out his site, it's epic.....www.thomaskeyillustration.com
