Surprise!
On Monday Futuregirl finally received my surprise gift to her:





It was a long (almost 3 weeks!) and (what seems like a) bumpy road (you can read about it on Futuregirl's blog) but my Hippo has arrived at his new home in one piece.
I'll admit I started to get worried but I did not want to ruin the surprise, so I held myself from mailing her.

The Pattern for the Winter Hippo can be purchased through my Etsy store.

Crocheted fingerless mittens

My husband needed some fingerless mittens since his fingers are necessary for some of his activities (playing drums, using the keyboard etc.) so I made him this cozy pair:






The pattern was taken from
http://crochetme.com/patterns/basic-fingerless-mittens with a few alterations.

On another note, someone (and I'm not telling you who yet) is about to be surprised in 10 days to two weeks :)
