Anniversary of the Republic of Estonia
Yesterday on the 24th of February was the 93rd anniversary of our republic. The night before I crocheted a little flower using the colours of our flag (blue-black-white). Yestarday when I was looking for something else I found a ribbon that had sealed a gift bag a few years ago. And then the idea came, I made a choker:

Shame on me!
'Cause I'm really lousy blogger.
At the end of last year I tried needle felting for the first time. It was really fun.
This year began with practicing making lines:
And as the new year brought really too much coins into my wallet (our currency changed, we had kroonid but now we have euros), I had to make a coin purse but as I can sew only as much as my sewing machine, it's far from perfect:
And I just wanted to say that this is the reason why I've never knitted a hat to myself:
This hat belonged to my father, his mother knitted it when he was a child and he made the what's-its-name (the big thing at the top of the hat). So this hat is about 50 years old. I tend to value old things, especially when they come from my family. But last spring I crocheted a beautiful feminine hat (Sarah Arnold's Flapper hat):
I wore it for the first time on the last day of the year 2010. And I keep wearing it.
The yarn used is Jil and the size of the crochet hook was 3.0 mm.
Tonight I tried bookbinding for the first time (yes, I plan a lot of First Times for this year), it didn't come out as good as I hoped, but at least now I know I can do it. I'll add picture later (hopefully soon).
See You soon!

Kitchen Accesories
Thinking of the house that's waiting for us in a countryside:
It's a kitchen towel (tea towel?), I sewed it myself, and the edging is made by me also, of course. I have some finished lace ribbons waiting for towels so hopefully I'll add some more pictures soon.

February - Red As Love?
No, I have other plans for February. You can see from my profile picture what kind of haircut I had a year ago. Now my hair is too long and I needed a headband. And here it is: simple, quick, comfortable.
Yarn: Novita Kotiväki
Hook: 1.5 mm
