Tänä vuonna olen kokeillut erikoisruokavaliolle sopivia Runebergin torttuja. Näitä mainioita herkkuja olen leiponut jo pari kertaa sillä luottoreseptini muokkautui helposti vaihtamalla vain ainekset gluteenittomiksi ja vegaanisiksi! Alkuperäinen resepti on myllynparas.fi sivuilta. 200 g margariinia 1-2 dl (fariini)sokeria 2 tl Orgran No Egg kananmunankorviketta sekoitettuna n 1/2 dl:aan vettä 2 dl gluteenittomia jauhoja yhteensä 4 dl… Continue reading Gluteeniton ja vegaaninen Runebergin torttu, Runeberg cake “free from” version
Winter doll, talvinukke
My new doll Kiti has piercing brown eyes, a bob haircut and a little dimple in her chin - attempting a likeness of my mother when she was small 😍 Her tulip sleeved dress is made from my husbands' favourite old shirt. She has knickers made from an old camisole and her petticoat is edged… Continue reading Winter doll, talvinukke
Waldorf doll/nukke
This doll, the second Waldorf style doll I´ve made, was given to my granddaughter on her 1st birthday. Like her little "mum" she has big blue eyes, a slightly pointy chin and a red tint in her hair. Here are the pattern pieces I made for the doll - based on my first doll and… Continue reading Waldorf doll/nukke
Dollmaking, nuken rakentelua
My first try at making a natural fibre Waldorf style doll. A few years ago I saw one for the first time and my immediate reaction was that I'd love to be able to make something like this. Since then I've bought a beautiful little doll for myself (whom I'll introduce later) from a dollmaker… Continue reading Dollmaking, nuken rakentelua
Two Twig and Leaf shawls, lahjahuiveja
I really like this shawl pattern that I purchased through Ravelry - the Twig and Leaf by Anne Hanson. Five years ago I made a shawl for my mother-in-law with it and now I used it to make two presents for some dear old friends. Hardly a challenge after my silk stocking project last winter!… Continue reading Two Twig and Leaf shawls, lahjahuiveja
Summer for Barbie, Barbin kesä
This summery post has been in the making for a long time. I finished Barbie's dress a couple of years ago after purchasing a set of 50's patterns but I couldn't portray her without shoes, a sun hat, a shawl... and since I'm into making underwear - Barbie needed some too. The classic 50's style… Continue reading Summer for Barbie, Barbin kesä
Bra construction, rintaliivien rakentelua
After a long break I've had time to make some bras again. These dark purple ones are made with my favourite pattern, the Harriet bra by Cloth Habit. I've adjusted the cradle and cup a little for a better fit and there are slight differences in their construction which I'll explain below for those who… Continue reading Bra construction, rintaliivien rakentelua
Crocheted screens, virkattuja valoverhoja
I took these photos a couple of years ago of screens I made for the house in France that we probably won't be visiting this summer. Lace curtains are a lot more common in Mediterranean countries than back home so I had the idea to crochet some screens where they were needed in the house.… Continue reading Crocheted screens, virkattuja valoverhoja
Lace for pin cushions, pitsiä neulatyynyn reunaan
After finishing my knitted silk stocking project I've had time get other things done too! I'll post about the stocking later, but here are two bobbin lace edgings I've been working on and just managed to sew into pin cushions. The blue one is a copy of a very pretty pin cushion that Greta from… Continue reading Lace for pin cushions, pitsiä neulatyynyn reunaan
Whittling a wooden spoon, veistelty puukauha
I´ve been enjoying the past sunny week sitting outside refreshing my whittling skills. While my husband made planks out of a maple tree with a chainsaw I dug out my old gouge and knife and made a wooden spoon from some well dried hard birch. * Olen mieheni kanssa nauttinut aurinkoisista kevätpäivistä liiterin edustalla puutöitä… Continue reading Whittling a wooden spoon, veistelty puukauha
