What talent you have @curlykrish .
I love those city paintings.
They remind me of old travel posters from the 1930s.

Can you come and paint my house?

 

[Roselina]

Yes you are very talented curlykrish !

 

[lilpigsBIGLIVES]

@curlykrish That looks amazing!

 

[curlykrish]

Thanks all. The city pictures are indeed replicas of the 1930s travel posters..where i could find them, else i took an image to make it look like the 1930s posters!

I've been making Christmas decorations
Here is some homemade tinsel. I'm going to get some gold ribbon to tie into it to add a bit of Christmas sparkle.


I tried wet felting for the first time to make these little balls and they may not be the tightest or most uniform but they have a bit of homemade charm about them

I brought the whole dried oranges and cinnamon sticks but I dried slices of apple and orange and strung them up myself so I'm counting them as homemade, I'm planning to make a long one to go across my mantelpiece aswell but I burnt too many orange slices so I need to go shopping for more oranges.

Hobbies? My wife says I have too many!

1. Amatuer Astronomer, Skywatcher. My telescope is boxed up winter storage in the basement. I have high power binoculars for quick trips outside in the winter. i enjoy monthly challenges with “friends” on an astronomy forum. I am not involved in astrophotography, but enjoy looking at other people’s work (lots of money and time).
2. When I feel really bored and ambitious, I make a ship in a bottle. No kits here. A chunk of wood, an empty bottle and a few other items. Usually a couple months, a couple of hours a day to build (50-60hr).
3. I study ancient Egyptian history and hieroglyphs. Why not learn from the oldest civilization with written language? First astronomers too!
4. I practice and play didgeridoo. Find it very peaceful when played in the traditional style. The new techno, modern beat boxing isn’t for me.

Wow those ships in bottles must take so much patience to make.

I never showed off my finished crochet mobile! It finally got finished in December. A labour of love for definite. I never anticipated how long it would take as I didn't factor in post natal depression, a lack of motivation or a baby who only napped for 30 mins at a time up til around 6 months

Nowhere near as good as everyone else's but anyway... (they are still a WIP atm)

WOW that is so cute! I need to make one of these now!

If you are a slow crocheter at all I would start before the baby is conceived All in all though it was fun to make and I think I have started to let go of the perfectionist attitude a bit

Don't judge based on what you think of others works (we are all our own worst critics and I think creatives tend to be perfectionists). I think these are absolutely wonderful

So very pretty.

Thank you!

It's not for me it's for a friend who is pregnant but I better start soon then!

 

[teddymouse]

love it Kelly! You have use such gentle colours.

I think if you aren't too precious about it and have some spare time it would be fine. I didn't start until after the baby was born... I think that was my mistake

 

[Lady Kelly]

love it Kelly! You have use such gentle colours.

Thank you. I did suggested to the hubby that we just buy Jessica a cheap one and hang this one above our bed but he wasn't up for it

I love these. I thought they were painted onto silk with dye for a moment. The colours are so nicely blended
