<span style="font-size: small;">Have you known about my phobia of insects? I mean, I'm not only scared of cockroaches, bugs or wasps but also ants, ladybugs and even butterflies ... yes, it's true! And it's not advantageous to a biology/wildlife student lol. Working with insects during my studies was the worst nightmare ever! >_<</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">But this little bumble bee is anything but a nightmare! How can you be scared of this cutie, inspired by Sanrio's Sweet Coron, with its big eyes and these rosy cheeks? ♥</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It's my first own design with so many sewing parts and I really like how it turned out. I'm quite happy with the result and even more to share the pattern with you guys. Actually I'm incredibly lazy when it comes to writing up a pattern but I did it! \ (^o^) /</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Hope you like it!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Since the game was released I'm almost addicted to it. I waste precious time to harvest silly fungis. It's so ridiculous 'cause the game is so pointless but I just can't help it. It's fun collecting them all. xD Therefore it was an absolute MUST-DO to crochet my own Nameko. Have fun with the free pattern! ♥</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My Hon and me, we've been together for more than 6 years now. Every year we have managed to ignore the hype about the Valentine's Day and all the lovey-dovey couples. Indeed we've always spent the day together but never made something special. For us it's a day like every other day - but not this year ...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Two weeks ago he moved to Munich for a new job and for the first time we will be spatially apart from each other on Valentine's Day. Suddenly that day becomes important to me. Ain't that silly?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is why I ended up with these bunch of homemade Hot Chocolate on Stick. Oh boy, there will be one lucky guy on 14th February! ^_^</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Preparation:</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. On the cutting board cut the vanilla bean in halve, length wise with your sharp paring knife. Scrape out all of the oily seeds from the inside and put them into the bowl.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. With your sharp kitchen knife chop the chocolate coarsely and add to the bowl with the vanilla seeds.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Put the bowl into the microwave and melt the chocolate on low power setting in short intervals (about 30sec.) and stir between each bout of heat until it is completely melted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4. Pour melted chocolate into the silicone ice cube tray. Use the spatula for help.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">5. Refrigerate 30min.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">6. Meanwhile, use your skewers to carefully poke a hole through the marshmallow hearts. Then carefully insert a lollipop stick through each heart. Try not to squeeze them too much.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">7. After 30min. poke the lollipop sticks into the center of each chocolate cube.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">8. Refrigerate an hour then pop the chocolate cubes out of the mold.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">9. Wrap stick in plastic wrap or small cellophane bags, tie a ribbon around and they are ready to give away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">10. Keep sticks refrigerated until ready to use.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><span style="font-family: inherit;">How to use:</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Heat up one cup of milk (approx. 200ml) and add a Hot Chocolate stick. Stir until chocolate has dissolved completely.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. Wash the strawberries, remove the leaves and cut<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>the fruits into slices. Put them on one half of a small plate.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is my first blog post this year! Can't believe it's February already - and Chinese New Year is almost here ... time flies!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />I can hardly wait to celebrate the year of the Snake with my loved ones!
<span class="st">♥</span> Holidays at my parents are the best - always lots of food!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">In addition to the red packets my mom used to give me a bunch of clementines, too. I just love them, more than <i>lai sze</i> - they're so sweet and healthy. For me there won't be a CNY without them!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />So, if you can't get these fruits at your local supermarket, grab your yarn and hook and make your own Chinese New Year Clementines!</span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Here's the free pattern for you - have fun and

Hey everybody!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is going to be a short blogpost about all baby toys I have made the past few weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Among my amigurummi rattles I listed in my <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/Nanaliciouz" target="_blank">shop</a> I also got custom orders. I'm going to show you guys some of them I have finished and sold so far. =)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This one was made for my colleague's niece. I was asked to make a Star Wars baby rattle 'cause her<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span>dad is a big fan of the movies. <span style="font-size: small;"></span>First I thought of making Princess Leia but ended up with Baby<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>Master Yoda.<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>May the Force be with her!<span style="font-size: small;"> ^_~</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Who doesn't love the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle?<br />
This rattle was also made for a colleague's friend. Never thought it would turn out so cute! I love the bright colors and it was so much fun making it. What you think? Should I list it in my shop? =)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
To make this cute amigurumi I used <a href="http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/70588AD.html" target="_blank">this</a> free pattern by Lion Brand (you have to register on the page to get acces to it). If you like to make one, see pattern for the mouth below which I used here: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">>> Ch10, sl st into last ch from hook, ch1 and sc around, fasten off. (10 sc) <<</span></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I got this order from one of my best friends. He wanted it as a gift for his newborn cousin Leonie.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For this cutie you need the pattern by Amy Gaines (get it <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/AmyGaines" target="_blank">here</a>!).<i> </i><br />
I just follow the pattern but left out the cheeks and I had to stitch on the nose.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This baby seal was also made for Leonie.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fall is here: Days are shorter, it's getting colder and there is hardly a day without rain.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On days like these I like to stay at home, wrap myself in a blanket and have a nice warm cup of tea.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Everything would be fine if there won't be always those unpleasant tea residues on my glass table ... So, what's better than a coaster to get rid of this problem? Too bad I don't have any.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, time to make my own set of coasters then! And because Halloween is almost here, it should be something Halloween related although we don't celebrate it in Germany. I ended up making these Jack O'Lantern coasters:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It's been a while since my last post and a lot of things have happened. One is that I finally got enough practice in crocheting so I can work on my own ideas, which came into my mind while following patterns.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So, let me show you my first completed project:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I fell in love with Rilakkuma & Co. ever since I saw them for the first time. How to resist such cuteness? You can't! That's why I have so many Rilakkuma goodies now: bags, clothes, pillows, folders, mugs, cookie cutter, purse, phone cases and pluggy and and and ... but NO plushie yet! I saw a giant one <a href="http://minkyshop.com/san-x-rilakkuma-plush.html" target="_blank">here</a> but so darn expensive ... Well, I should make my own Rilakkuma plushie but I better try to crochet a mini version of it first. Maybe a rattle for my now 5 months old nephew? Good idea!</span></span><br />

... is all about crochet!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
When I was younger I tried to knit a scarf for one of my plushies but I miserably failed. Actually it wasn't even the stitches that caused me some startup difficulties but the way of holding the needles and the yarn. At the beginning I knitted very loosely but from time to time it became more and more tight until I noticed and started to knit loosely again. After a plenty of rows my scarf got this wavy shape. I was so disappointed because it just didn't look good although I put so much effort in it ... So I gave up this knitting thing and never tried again. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
Anyway - over the times I still love handcrafts and since I've remembered that I'm absolutely untalented in knitting I came up with the idea to crochet. So I bought myself two Amigurumi craft books for beginners. But how could I know? They use chart patterns ... in a book for beginners! o_O<br />
I had no idea how to read them nor do I understand the explanations ... And I was like "Oh dear, bye bye wonderful world of Amis!", but I gave it a try and ... failed again. T_T<br />
<br />
At this point I had to admit I suck at crochet, too, and it was fine by me. I told myself it was not necessarily learn to crochet. I can live with that. If I'm not good in handcrafting I should get better in my baking and cooking skills. =)<br />
<br />
Since that time it's over a year and guess what? I can crochet now! And I'm not even that bad! <span style="color: black;">\(≧∇≦)/</span><br />
<br />
How came to give it another try? Because my sister was going to become a Mummy soon! I was so excited I really wanted to make something for the baby even there was a lot of time till birth. I searched the internet and found lots of cute crocheted baby clothes, toys and whatsoever! The baby should get all these goodies so I taught myself by watching youtube videos and it was sooo eaaasyyy! =D<br />
<br />
I crochet at any given opportunity now, whether when I'm watching tv or when I'm on a visit at my parents house. I always have my yarn and hook with me. It makes me relax and I always get new ideas. I'm gonna blog about my creations soon, so stay updated! (~^_^~)v<br />
<br />

<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Since I have lots of interests and hobbies I was in two minds about my blog topic and there were so many ideas came into my mind: food, nailart, food, travelling, food, food, photography, fashion, food, handcraft, food ... and much more. :D</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
