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!"

And Again...

If somebody would wonder whether it is an obsession by me with the shawls: yes, it is!
It's the seventh one made in a period of approximately one year (although gave away two of them!)
But yeah, I feel necessary to have one in every possible colour combination... and I couldn't explain why.

Little Houses DIY

Easy diy found on the lovely Yvestown Blog.
Print, cut, fold, put a candle in it and tadaa! (I'm using electric candles, otherwise I wouldn't be sure that the house won't be burning down.)

You can print the houses and the roofs from here:

The Table Runner; Ready, Steady, Go!

A crochet table runner of 110x45cm, it got ready this morning (oh, happy vacation time!).
I had some doubts whether I should make a blanket of it or not. At the moment I like having it on our table and later I will see..

Pictures of the Bedroom

The blue bedspread was my hugest crochet project ever.
With the yellow sheets together they are making a happy bed (yes, it does exist a happy bed!)

I found this retro Ikea lamp in a second hand shop. The cheapest lamp ever and in my opinion also quite pretty.
