Holiday Time

Have been baking different cookies....

Busy making a baby blanket for my little niece, she will be born in June, so I'm still on time...

I also bought this wooden box and of course, I needed put a crochet on it:

More Crochet Thingies...

A new crochet scarf, nice and soft...

This cushion was also recently made. As it's part of the beige crochet project, I wanted to put it on the blog:

And now, after long days of selfdiscipline, I think it's time to eat up all the easter bunnies, yumm yumm.

Crochet Clutch

Made of granny squares with cotton yarn. I will use it in the summer with a summer dress and will be looking almost as a star on the red carpet.... at least that`s the plan.

Gloves with Crochet Hearts

Because the mornings are still chilly...

These cheap, boring gloves needed a bit of colour.

My New Blanket

My new crochet blanket : I used these calm beige colours which became my favorite in the last time. It's such rustic blanket and most importantly, also soft and warm. So cozy to sit under it while watching tv or reading a book.

Here before blocking (after blocking it got larger: 125x95cm).
Our cat fell instantly in love with it. He found it such a nice structure,

that he fell in trance:) Fat, happy cat:)

Funny thing, the cat and the blanket have the same colours...

Enjoying the Spring

With flowers from the garden and the first easter eggs and a cat who remembers us that if you have sunshine you have everything you need.

Puff Restyled

1. Take some yarn ( around 400 gr) and an old puff. Crochet and crochet a few evenings long, until you have five big squares.

 2. Sew them together and that's it. Isn't it gorgeous?

Flowers, Leaves and Snowflakes

Easy Little Things DIY

Quickly ready and still a pleasure for the creativity:)

1.White matroushkas bought by the Action. I drew on them with a black pen:

2. A blue Sharpie on white ceramic cup, 'cause why couldn't we make our own Delft Blue?

3. And just to have more smiling faces around me:

Birthday and New Project

Nice flowers and yummie breakfast for my birthday.
I love the ranunculus (and also the home made croissants)!

And the metamorphosis of the new yarn:
A few more days needed to get it ready...

Cushion Collection

This leaf crochet (Japanese maple pattern) was a great challenge. I was so proud that it turned out well!
I put it on a cushion:

And if talking about cushions, that's what they look like all together: all my crochet cushions:

Lovely Flowers

At the Moment

I came home from the library with two German crime novels and three crochet books:

The crochet book of Erica Knight is so inspiring, lots of beautiful pictures with very nice, quiet colours. 

And the snowflakes crochet was something that I wanted to try since a long time, I 'm happy to have found such a good tutorial!  (Btw. this novel of Wolf Haas is also brilliant, he is the funniest crime novelist ever!)

And I bought also a XXL Tweed yarn, it's actually bigger than my head:) 

So, I have enough to do! The holiday should last much more longer! 

But: "Keep calm and crochet along!"
