old&new crafts

well, some time ago I made a pair of felt slippers. I used old felted striped sweater. Although they don't look as amazing as those from japanese craft magazine, but they are very soft and warm - i love them :) recently we moved to "our flat" and we wanted to change some simple ikea furniture to "our ones", slightly different than those straight from the shop. So we glued some wallpaper to the bookshelf, and now we have shelf with mesh networks pattern (kind of network topology for those who doesn't like computer science). I know that someone, who designed this pattern wanted to achieve some kind of star or floralish pattern, but for us (2 computer scientists) it looks more like network topology than like some flowers. :D


This weekend my sister was a bridesmade on his friend's wedding. She wanted to have pink handbag. She couldn't find suitable design in the shops so decided to make it herself. Our parents helped her: dad made a framework from 2 plastic flowerpots joined together with sticky tape (he developed barrel shaped container) and mom sewed the material, which my sister liked, to this frame.
And voila!
last but not least - a table that I made with my mom in 2000. It is made from broken tiles, glued to wooden circle. Now it is standing on my balcony - I can eat breakfast or read a book there. :)
