Amigurumi Acorn

My first amigurumi crochet project. Tiny, fluffy and happy... ACORN!

Hope to improve soon!

beyond the sea

Yesterday I was playing around with yarns, after my good friend Yakumo sent me like 10 (?!) mails asking me to make some Amigurumis... I didn´t try that technique yet. So I started making a simple circle, that looked a bit funny, especially when several of them were put together..

The result: a weird "coral look" brooch, that I decided to make black and red, simply because the clothes I wanted to wear had those colors. My colleagues were kinda freaking out with my new accessory. 

I was too... :)

Good morning cookies

Good Morning, everyone!

It´s not so early, but it´s saturday and some of us are a bit hungover... so, why not treating ourselves with something sweet and creamy? 

Chocolate or vanilla? you choose!
These crocheted-cookie-broochs will sweet up your day

Be good :)

Cupcake

I LOOOOOVE sweets! 

it shows, uh?

Yesterday I found a pattern to make sweet cupcakes, and couldn´t stop crocheting since then! it took me a while, but it was completely worth it. I just need a nice place in my room to boast about this little and fluffy piece. OF CAKE! 

Cozy Apple #2

Experimenting: two different yarns, similar colors, a bit narrower on top.

Size: XL. I had to take the biggest apple of the basket.
VERY GIRLIE ;)
Happy sunday!

Experimentando: dos lanas diferentes, de colores similares. La parte de arriba un poco más estrecha.
Tamaño XL. Tuve que usar la manzana más grande de la cesta.
Muy "girlie" ;)
Feliz domingo!

where ´s the apple?

Yesterday I stayed browsing blogs untill late (VERY late) but that´s not a surprise. Everytime I start doing it I cannot stop: one cool blog directs you to another one that is way too cute to stop looking. Between all the amazing things I found I discovered the "apple cozy". "WHAT IS THAT FOR?, DO APPLES GET COLDS OR WHAT?", asked myself. Well, obviously no, but how many times I threw my apple inside my bag before work and found it full of bruises afterwards?

EUREKA!

Found a pattern online and went for it... it took me a bit, but finally came with a decent result. At least for a first try is not THAT bad... :P

what do you think of the "apple cozy"?
do you know any other way of keeping your apples safe from evil keys/books/phone inside your bag?

Feathers

I´ve never worked with feathers before, and I must admit that I had a lot of fun! there are so many colours, sizes, shapes and combinations. Crochet and feathers seem to make a perfect match.
A colleague of mine saw me at the office wearing this one in particular and came running saying "I need that". Ok girl, there you go. *happy bunny* :)
I love how it looks on a tshirt, but on my opinion it would look especially good on a green wool coat I bought this winter.

You like it? Under request, I personalize one for you. Email me :)

Nunca trabajé las plumas antes, y tengo que reconocer que me divertí un montón! hay tantos colores, formas, tamaños, combinaciones... Las plumas y el crochet parecen hacer una pareja perfecta.
Una compañera de trabajo me vió usando este broche en particular y vino corriendo diciendo "lo necesito". OK, aquí tienes :P encantada de la vida...
Me gusta como queda con una camiseta, pero va a quedar genial puesto en el abrigo de lana color verde que me compré este invierno.

Te gusta? Bajo pedido, personalizo uno con tu color preferido. Escribeme :)

Making contrast

Only a few days ago I showed you a bunch of flowers I made, and how inspiring they were. Well, sometimes I find it frustrating when going shopping and not finding any accessory which would fit the clothes we usually wear in winter: always black, gray, white... nothing really makes contrast and everything lacks imagination.
That´s how I made this necklace with colorful flowers made by hand, making contrast with a simple black t-shirt.
It´s just nice to keep it simple sometimes, right?

If you wanna buy a necklace for yourself, just email me and I let you know further details such as price, size, shipping costs...

Hace unos días les mostré un puñado de flores que hice, y lo inspiradoras que resultan. Bueno, a veces me frustra cuando voy de compras y no encuentro accesorios que combinen bien con la ropa que generalmente nos ponemos en invierno: negros, grises, blancos... nada hace contraste y la imaginación brilla por su ausencia.
He aquí un collar que hice con esas flores tejidas de diferentes colores, en contraste con una simple camiseta negra.
No es genial también lo simple?

Si quieres comprar un collar, solo tienes que mandarme un email y te informaré más detalles, como precios, tamaños, gastos de envios...

Pantuflas

For those who asked me for a close-up of the slippers on the first post of the blog, here you have some new pictures, taken under the warm spanish sun!

Hope you like them!
Sizes and colour combinations can be arranged ;)
--------------------------------------------
Para los que me pidieron fotos más claras de las pantuflas que publiqué en el primer post, aquí cuelgo algunas fotos nuevas, tomadas bajo el calido sol español.

Espero que les gusten!
Combinación de colores y tamaños personalizables ;)



ps: yup! my feet are veeeery small...
-----------------------
pd: Si, mis pies son chiquitiiiiitos...

Up In The Air

Yesterday the day was sunny and not so cold, even if it´s winter. The only thing that could spoil this special photoshoot was the wind. 10 minutes took me to come up with some nice pics :)
Hope you like it, those crochet flowers are so inspiring, and can cheer any colourless look up!

Some new ideas coming up soon!!!
Thanks for following Mikachu Fields Forever!

----------------------------------------

Ayer el día salió soleado y no demasiado frío, aún cuando todavía es invierno. Lo unico que estropeó un poco esta "sesión fotográfica" especial fue el viento. Me costó 10 minutos sacar fotos decentes :)
Espero que les guste, estas mini-florcitas hechas a crochet son tan inspiradoras y coloridas, que pueden alegrar cualquier oscuro look invernal.

Pronto postearé ideas nuevas!!!
Gracias por seguir Mikachu Fields Forever!

Hello Granny!

My good ol´friends from Facebook already know this little purse I posted on my Christmas season album

Well, squares are like crisps: once you start, you cannot stop. That´s the reason I knitted all this combinations, for you to choose the right for your purse.

Pues bien, los cuadraditos son como las papas fritas: cuando empiezas no puedes parar! Esa es la razón por la que tejí todas estas combinaciones, para que elijas la que más te guste para tu bolsito.

The measures are 11cmx11cm. 100% acrylic

Chunky & Cute

No more shock, shock, shock!

I consider myself a very clumsy little person, and I already felt bad about crashing my old digital camera against the floor last New Years Eve 2010. So last week I was thinking "I´ve got to knit something chunky, solid and at the same time soft and cute"

Aaaand... here is the answer! There´s nothing a yarn and a hook cannot solve (aaaalmost!). Either a digital camera, and iPod Touch or a mobile phone. Isn´t it cute?
------------------------------------
No mas golpes!

Me considero a mi misma como una personita terriblemente torpe, y ya me siento bastante mal por el hecho de haber estampado (por accidente) mi camara el año pasado mientras celebraba la Nochevieja. Así que la semana pasada pensé "tengo que tejer algo gordito, robusto y al mismo tiempo suave y lindo"

Y... he aquí la respuesta! No ha nada que una madeja y una aguja no puedan solucionar (casi)
Ya se trate de una camara digital, un iPod o un telefono movil, ¿No es bonita?

At least my iPod survived my clumsiness... and more important! no more scratches on the screen caused by keys inside my bag.

Wanna get yourself one? I personalize it for you with your favourite colour.
Email me: mikachu.broches@gmail.com
-------------------------------------------
Por lo menos mi iPod ha sobrevivido desde entonces mi torpeza. Y más importante! las llaves dentro de mi bolso ya no rayan la pantalla! :P

Quieres tener una? Personalizo los bolsitos con tu color favorito.

Cold Feet?

*BRRR* cold outside right?

I hate having cold feet, that´s why Mikachu prepared those beautiful slippers... perfect for wearing while having a nap or watching a movie on the sofa. Popcorn and blanket not provided by me! -yet-
---------------------------------
¿Quien no tiene los pies frios en invierno?
Odio tenerlos tan frios, por eso Mikachu preparó estas pantuflas tan cucas... perfectas para calzarse mientras se duerme una siesta o se mira una pelicula en el sofá. El pochoclo ("palomitas") y la mantita no las pongo yo -todavia!-.

Different colour combinations and sizes can be arranged. Mail me for price and shipping costs!

Diferentes combinaciones de colores y tamaños. Escribeme para personalizar las tuyas y averiguar precio y gastos de envio :)
