kerravonsen | Belated Craft Post

Excuse me if you've seen these before, but I think I forgot to post them at the time. This is a bunch of craft I made earlier this year, mostly in January.

My Eldest Niece expressed a desire for earrings for her birthday, since she is a medical student and thus can't wear any other kind of jewellery. So in the period between Christmas and her birthday in January, after persuading her to pick out some charms from my collection that she liked, I proceeded, even though she was staying with me, I managed to hide my activities... and made a huge bunch of earrings. Just in order to see her jaw drop on her birthday. (evil Aunt laugh) I told her she wasn't going to get so many at once again, but it was fun to do.

This here is a ruffle scarf.

I made some trivets! I don't know who I'm going to give them to, though.

The M.A.I.L. theme challenge at the beginning of this year was "weapons". So I decided to get cheeky and wrap a pen in maille, declaring that "the pen is mightier than the sword".

And this is a case for my sunglasses. I actually finished it a while back, but didn't photograph it until February.
