Feather Sticks

I just got a new microscope. I can hook it up to the computer and make photos. This is the first slide I made myself. It's a piece of a crow feather under 40x magnification. I can't wait to discover more of these wonderful worlds hidden to the naked eye! :-)

A little bit of spring in the late autumn :-)

We've had a pretty warm autumn so far and the plants are all getting confused. The bulbs are growing like crazy already and these primroses are in full blossom!

The temperatures have dropped below zero over the past few days, so we probably won't be seeing such delights again until spring.

Double-bar Bracelet

I made this according to the instructions by tiat (Tying It All Together) on Youtube. The bracelet turned out quite well and I like wearing it very much :-)

Tiat makes the most instructional instructions about knotting. He works slowly, so that you can work your own knots along with his video, and his demonstrations are very clear. If you want to learn about knotting, check his instructions out!

I love the golden tones of trees in autumn!

Handmade watch strap

My old wrist-watch strap was getting old, so I decided I needed a new one. Instead of buying one I made one myself. It took me about half an hour to make it. I had lots of fun making it and the strap is unique :-)

For those of you keen on survival gear: the strap is made of a single 5-metre piece of cord, so you have quite an emergency backup in it!
