Selina’s craft world

I am still feeling pretty bad - headache and down. Hope it gets better soon.

I watched F1 today. Could have really been a double victory, but it was not. Luckily - at least for me - Kimi won. Was not the best race eveer, but it was quite interesting to see the tactic working or not working.

I stitched a little bit on my SAL. The Polar Bear is coming nicely along. Getting worried about those millions of backstitches - lol. White on white is not really so great to see, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

I finshed the front today while watching f1. Tomorrow I will knit the arms and then finish it off on Tuesday. Looks nice so far and I already test wore it - fits nice!

I finally did the seperation lines for my SAL. Now I can start stitching

The pattern seem to be liked - by some even loved - I am so happy. Can’t wait to see everyone’s progress.

I’m feeling pretty bad today. Having a headache and feeling so down

As for good news … I just uploaded the new SAL pattern to my website. It’s a rather simple one, so I hope ppl will like it. I charted it from a pic of a Polar Bear I took in the Zoo of Karlsruhe.

I watched the f1 qualifying today. Kimi and Joan did a good job - might be a Mercedes double victory

I could have kept knitting on my sweater, but I am stopping now. Don’t want it to be done in 2 days - because … what would I do afterwards

I guess I will design a few cross stitch patterns now. I am getting the hang of it and love it. I believe my patterns are better than some from real “designers”. Sometimes I really wonder how they ever get anyone to buy their stuff.

I updated linabear.com with nice goodies - a new bookmark, my Winter Postcard and my lovely red sweater Check out and enjoy!

I also just finished my sachet - which will be added to my website next Saturday. I think it turned out nicely for the first try ever

I finished the stitching of the sachet just now I think it turned out nicely and exactly shows what will be in it - lavender. I did not really follow the chart anymore, so it’s half selfdesigned - heheh.

Just another night I can hardly fall asleep. It’s been this weather and I have trouble sleeping in my bedroom. I guess I will be heading to the living-room in a little while.

I am a little bit down. There’s no new date, the papers still did not get there and the money issue only slightly improved. It’s depressing Don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t want to be seperated

I saw the 1st & 2nd formular 1 session today. Was pretty cool, I love f1 for those who did not know yet. Hope Kimi has finally more luck than he had the past few months

Anyway, besides watching tv and trying to knit in that hot weather, I also kept stitching on my sachet. It’s coming along nicely and I can’t wait to be done.

We have a thunderstrom here right now. I hope it’ll be gone by the time I go to bed. I can’t sleep when there’s a thunderstorm - esp. when I sleep alone.

I had to rip the sweater and start over Was pretty annoying, but I got quite a lot done until now (start getting to hot to knit).

Besides trying to knit (too hot for it), I also stitched on a sachet and cut the lanvender in the garden to fill it with They’re hanging in a dry, warm room now to really dry off. By the time I am done with the sachet, I can put them in. I love the smell of lavender

Hi,

I decided to start a new sweater. I bought the yarn today and started already a little bit. It was too hot to really knit much, though.

I combed, cut and washed dear Aireen today. She’s looking each time different. Enjoy Aireen before, after being cut, wet and all ready

I finished another self-design bookmark today - yay. Very happy about it. It’s fun to stitch and is charted from the linabear.com bear. It’ll be to look at and buy from linabear.com on Sunday

But there’s no need to take a break. My next project is already started. A sachet for a sachet exchange. It’s taken from a magazine, but I am changing a lot to fit on my fabrics and use the colours I have at home

In a little while I will be going to the town center to buy a new lot of yarn and start with sweater no. 2. Can’t wait

I had trouble falling asleep, so I decided to sew and cutt off all lose ends on my sweater. Took forever and as it was ribbon yarn, it was quite difficult. At least I am done now

The picture of the finished sweater will go up on linabear.com on Sunday together with many other goodies
