Figolli traditional cakes

 This has nothing to do with crafts  but this is a traditional sweets for us. They are called FIGOLLI They are made as a sweet (biscuits like) pastry,  filled with almond meal sugar and egg whites and  then covered and cooked. when cold they are iced ane decorated. My daughter is a graphic designer and the details on the so called biscuits are really nice and they taste so yum. This year, though, we didn't get to have them as we are isolated in our homes which was sad. Not sad of not tasting them but of not seeing my family. We all were sacrificing were we??  I thought I should share these as she really did an amazing job.

Crochet blue basket

I made this basket to see if it holds. I made it with two strands of yarn to see how stiff it comes out. It holds but maybe I should you glue and water I think the formula is to stiffen it up. I don't like the sugar method it might bring ants is summer. I think I might experiment a little more with this basket idea. I also tried a design on it. I put a white insert as well. Let'see if my eldest daughter likes it. I need to try a rectangle or square basket too.

Amigurumi doll 48cm tall

I always like Anya Sadovskaya  's dolls and since I made the plum doll I wanted the strawberry cupcake doll too. I love her work. She has about six or seven dolls. They are made up the same but the clothes are different. I bought two patterns one was in her language the other one is in English. I google translated the first one and I managed nicely. I did a few like that from different designers. I put strong wire in this doll so it is pretty bendable. Her hair took a ball and a half to fill up her head and mind you I didn't do all the posts. It is fairly easy to make but she doesn't have marks on the head for ears and where you should place the eyes, so you have to figure it out yourself. Oh! her eyes were supposes to be green and I did her skin colour darker I realized after I did her. I ran out of wool so this one hasn't got shoes. I could make her white, red, green or like her hair. What I like the most about this doll she has beads and I like her hat too. She is a large doll it measures forty eight centimeters. I always use wool to make stuff but I bought cotton which I would like to try out. I'm sure they will be smaller toys. I have one more project started then I would like to try my own pattern.
