Finished Friday

It’s a pretty awesome idea if I wouldn’t have issues editing pictures and writing blog posts during work time or when some one is around. I need some me-time for blogging and I’m not having a lot of those me-time moments currently. It’s okay though, work is busy and the company is good :) 

Here’s my finished project of the week. My lovely little African Flower pony. Isn’t he adorable?

He was meant as a team pony for my Roller Derby league, to be auctioned out, but I didn’t think the colours were quite right once I finished him. We raised a lot of money without him though, and I got to keep him with me a little longer. But it’s time for new adventures for this little pony, and he is looking for a new home, you can find him in my Etsy store.

 Like my previous African Flower project, this pony too is a design by Heidi Bears, she is also on Etsy if you're not a Ravelry member (is that even possible?). If you like animals and you like crochet, you should definitely check out her patterns. Don’t worry if you’re new to crochet, Heidi writes out her patterns so well and has so many pictures, every one can follow them. And if there is something you can’t figure out, she has a group on Ravelry crowded with helpful people and I’m sure she’s more than willing to answer questions by mail.

Really. Go look. 

Finished Friday

Earlier this week I got this idea that will hopefull motivate me a little to finish my bigger works in progress. Finished Friday. Every friday I will have finished one big (ish) project, take a good picture of it, play with editing a little and write about it on my blog. I have lots of project bags lying around, so there should be enough for me to choose from. And otherwise.. well.. I can always start new projects and finish them in time.

For this week it's not going to be anything craftsy though.
Today we harvested our patatoes! That's sort of like finishing a project, right?

We dreamed of a tower filled with potatoes, but that didn't really work out as good as we had hoped, we only had one layer of the tower filled with potatoes.. We still got a lot though, for a little garden experiment. We don't eat them very often, so this should get us pretty far untill harvest time 2014.

I can't wait to make "Stamppot", mashed purple potatoes with orange carrots, how's that for fun food?
