Honey comb variations!

There is a first time for everything ...

I am finally ready to share my latest creation with you ;)
I hope me and my pattern - Honey comb variations - are ready to take on world :P

You can buy the pattern on RAVELRY or ETSY ;)

Make your own stylish blanket/throw!
Each honeycomb starts with a triangle, that gets rounded and then hexagonalized. And then three of these forms a bigger triangle! (sounds way scarier than it is)

Roundabout pie

I saw a pie here ... and fell in love with the idea of arranging the veggies in circles and then I made my own - of course I didn't follow the original instructions. Apparently I take pride in reinventing the wheel. :P

Now after quite a few pies I have a routine set for my own vegetable pie :)

Base:
3 sheets of frozen puff pastry

Filling:
1 egg
160g curd

200g cream cheese (in Latvia the clear choice is "Dzintars" for all of you who doesn't live here .. well I just hope you have something similar in your stores too)

Decoration:   ;)

1 beet (boiled, cut in strips)
2 potatoes (boiled, cut in strips)

2 carrots (boiled, cut in strips)

1/2 zucchini (cut in strips)

100g cheese (cut in strips)

100g sausage (cut in strips)
drop of oil

as you can see - decorations list may
and should vary from pie to pie ;)

Wavy crochet bunting ▼▽▼▽▼

I bought a lovely variegated yarn and took it with me when I visited my parents and in the car I doodled and crocheted and frogged a lot of random things .. I had no idea what I wanted to crochet and if I wanted to crochet at all .. and then after 7hours in the car when I was almost home again I felt like the yarn wanted to become bunting (it seems like I am having a bunting-fever over here)

Abrevations used (US terms):

ch – chain stitch

sl st – slip stitch

sc – single crochet

hdc – half double crochet

Random rambling: happy accident

Last Tuesday night I fell down the stairs ... accidents do happen :(
And I cried a lot because of the pain and my own stupidity and because it seemed to me that every plan I had made for the summer just went poof...
Now a week later - I know it's nothing mayor just few abrasions and bruises ... but it still hurts (not just my pride :D) I still find it impossible to stand on full foot but it is getting better :)

Ribbon bunting!

More colour more fun ;)

I had this ribbon drawer .. 

That would be something I could say if I were fancy .. to be honest I just had a seperate plastic bag for them in my big bag of wrapping paper and gift bags .. and yes that doesn't sound even half as nice as ribbon drawer ..

O, well - it served it's purpose well - it held all the ribbons from previously received gifts, from gifts I had packed myself and used less ribbon than I had expected and what not.

And it seamed to me that there are sooooo much ribbons there, that I figured why not ribbon bunting!
