Net find of the week - Halloween Ghosts DIY

These little ghosts are so cute yet slightly unnerving in their "realism" (not that I would know what real ghosts look like, they seem to make themselfs rather scarce).
I found the tutorial at 320* Sycamore and it HAS to become my Net find of the week, it's too good not to share :)

The author of the Blog, Melissa, simply took some cheesecloth, poured liquid starch in a bucket and drenched the cheesecloth in the starch.

She then let them dry over her "ghost forms"

 which in her case were bed risers with a moss ball on top and a pain bucket under one of them for a larger ghost. The moss ball gave her ghosts little green hairs so she recommends covering the balls in foil or plastic beforehand :) For the eyes she used felt, paper will do too.
How cute are they!

Thanks Melissa from 320* Sycamore for this cool tutorial, her blog is packed with good ideas, do check it out!

Net find of the week - Pottery Barn inspired Pullover Pillow pillow

Now that autumn is in full swing there are lots of knitted pullovers floating around
the local thriftstores.
I found this handy tutorial on how to turn a knitted pullover into a pillow over at
The Farmer Family .
Time to start hording those pullovers!

Cute Amigurumi Family

What better time to start a new hobby then a long and rainy summer. I always wanted to crochet those cute Amigurumis and this summer vacation, in all its raininess, was the perfect time to start doing so.

 Here is my  little Amigurumi family:

 

My daughter saw Wall-E for the first time this summer and was very touched by that movie (can't blame her, so am I every time I watch it :)

When her birthday came around I found that there is ridiculously little merchandise from Wall-E on the market so I made her a little EVE myself.

She really liked her :)

There will be a wave of these little dudes crashing over my blog in the future, 

I LOVE making Amigurumis, they are just too cute!
