My first Amigurumi: Owl

This Friday (January 8th), we're going to my grandmother's grave - she passed away a year ago and I miss her so much. I thought about her a lot in this past year but recently I think about her more often. She used to knit sweaters, baby shoes & hats and she used to crochet. I have some very strong memories of her with knitting needles in her hands - always doing something, many years ago it was for us - her grandchildren and the last 6 years or so for her great-grandchildren.
Anyway, I was in a amigurumi basic workshop. I wasn't very successful there but I kept trying and this is my first finished project. It's slightly crooked but it's mine :-)

Duck

I sewed another project from Sew Sunny Homestyle, by Tone Finnanger:

Krembo / Negerkuss / Chocolate-coated marshmallow treat

This layout was inspired by 1st January 2010 Sketch @ Stuck?! Sketches:

The title says: Krembo (wikipedia: Hebrew, English)

The journaling says: The desert that comes after dinner in our sukkah... So, what do you eat first: the cream or the biscuit?



I used: My Mind's Eye: Life Stories Antique Flowers & White Peonies papers, Miss Elizabeth's Grey cardstock, Sonburn cardstock, Sharpie, Tim Holtz paper distresser, Ink It Up! black, StazOn jet black, Unity stamp (from Capture Life), grosgrain ribbon.

Purim

This layout was created for Anat's last dictation / challenge for 2009. The challenge was to use the sample page (the front page of a stack):

The journaling says: Few days before Purim, we bought masks & different accesories, so you can dress up every day to seomthing different, laugh & have fun. Your dummy fit perfectly the ultimative costum!

I used: Miss Elizabeth grey cardstock, Sonburn strips of papers, DCWV: sample page of "Summer - Fun in the Sun Cardstocks" stack, paper piercer, Sharpie, Kesem Art (Hebrew letters).

Sweet

And this is the third layout created at the workshop at Tamar's house... I started it there and finished at home. I'm not sure if I love it as much as the other two, but you can still see it :-)

The journaling on the chipboard says: My sweetie

I used: Sonburn cardstocks, glitter+strawberry+ladybug papers that were borrowed and I don't know their source, Fiskars border punch & decor shapes - cardstock stickers, Studio G clear stamps, StazOn jet black, Sharpie, tag (from something I bought or got somewhere in the past year or two, tag chipboard, heart shaped brad & butterfly.
