My new project

 
Colors and more colors!!!!!


The pattern is from Attic24, she can do marvellous crafts in crochet. It's easier than it seems, I started doing the colorful round shapes and then I joined them while crocheting the white part.


I haven't finished it yet, I think it still needs about three rows down and then I will have to add some more rounds in both sides because I've realised it doesn't still fit the sofa, where I'm going to use it... But it's not going to take much longer!!!

Summer birds


Look at these cute summer birds!!!! I crocheted them following a pattern by Attic 24 again!



They are made from a round flat circle (smaller than the ones I crocheted to do the bottom of the baskets) decorated with a small triangle for the beak and two wings. 
If you crochet the stitches tighter it gets a shape like the purple bird. The green one is made from a normal round flat circle.

Bunny

As it is too hot to knit or crochet, I decided to do something else. I found the pattern to do this bunny in a magazine and I made up my mind!
I used two old gloves, all I had to do was cut and sew its fingers so that they looked like its arms and tail. Then, I filled it to make it fluffy, I stitched some buttons to make its eyes and nose and added a nice bow to cover the union between the two gloves.
