Crochet and Bake..!

Yesterday was a very creative day! One day after my second exam was over, I had full of energy and wanted to make things. During the previous week I was studying for about 10 hours per day, so I couldn't pass to a day doing nothing so abruptly! That's why I started crocheting a coffee can, inpired by my friend Tammy from http://tsdailytreasures.blogspot.gr/ , but soon gave up cause I felt I was wasting too much yarn. See, I only have big cans! Then remembered a video I had seen on youtube about  a credit card case and thought that what I had crocheted until then, should become that cute case! The design was coming to my mind slowly and the yellow part is because I miscalculated can's circumference so had to add some more yarn! Anyway..!

These aren't credit cards! They're just cards, lol

But that's not all, though it was the biggest part of the day! I also made some cleaning and  inspired again by Tammy's post I made shortbreads with apricot jam centers. The jam made from my mum!

The recipe can be found here and it's super easy! (Thank you Tammy for the great discovery!)

Well that's all my news! I still have one more exam on the 17th of July, but until then I'l get some rest!  What about you? How was your day? Had it been creative?

Crochet case..!

A few days ago I started crocheting again! So suddenly, just to take a break from my exam's stydies. Anyway I didn't know what to do and as you may remember I had asked your help about a crochet bag. You think I have forgotten?? No, I don't give up my projects that easily, just wait for the right time! Well, I decised to start with something easier and smaller like a cell-phone case. So I found this video on youtube and started following the instructions. Here's a "behind the scenes" image!!
                          

After some effort and many rows of double crochet... tadahh!

I also attached a double chain, just to learn how this can be done!

I really had fun but still have some problems I have to get over:
1. Still don't know how to finish off well, that's why there are some knots left
2. Sometimes I miss the final stitch of  a row and as a result my work doesn't become symmetrical
3. Have to learn how to change colour or what to do if my yarn ends in the middle of a row!
Anyway, one thing at a time...I'm optimist!

And since this case can't be used outside of the house, A found a practical use for it, in the  inside!



What do you think? I'm waiting for your thoughts and remarks!
Have a nice day,
Angeliki
