Stacks

Hello there,
How are you doing?
Not much signs of spring yet in this part of the world.

Thought I might share some photos of some of my craftroom stacks with you.
The (only) link with spring being the colours. I know - how original...
Oh well!

Below is my (growing) stack of my latest work in progress...
The corresponding stack of pink yarn is destacking (I'm sure that's not a proper word) rapidly,
so the end result won't a be very big throw.

Wishing you a lovely day.
Stay crafty.

Oooh, I think I really like this project so far...

Only four squares ready though.
:-)






















Have a wonderful & crafty weekend with lots of love & some good food too!

A new throw?

Finally I had a few stolen hours to crochet.
Which I should have used to work on a WIP.






















But I started something new instead.
I just love this bobble stitch pattern.
- I often use it to crochet a potholder -
This time I decided to make a throw with this pattern.
Just one square finished though...

Do you have anything on your hook right now?

Bobbles & Pastels

Wow... It has been a long time...
Too long.
No time for crocheting or blogging.
And I'm way behind answering emails...























Just before this very hectic period started
I whipped up this granny square potholder.
Pastel colours & bobbles on the front, plain white on the back.
























Although I wasn't present online during the last weeks,
there were a couple of very sweet mentions of this little blog:

♦ Anna from Bashmachok's World made this lovely tulip scarf.
♦ Heather from Vintage Grey made this gorgeous Peaches & Cream potholder.
♦ Solvi from En Stovel og en sko made this beautiful doily.
Do check out these lovely blogs from these very talented bloggers!

It's wonderful to be a small part of the international blogging community,
to be inspired by all those talented people out there.
Thank you!

Have lovely day!

Give away * Winners

Well - I was touched by your sweet reactions
on my little give away.
I really wish I could send a garland to all of you.






















 But alas...























Blindfolded (seriously!) I picked the winners...

The little notebook goes to...






















Baukje!

And the garland goes to...






















Heather from Vintage Grey!

Congratulations & please send me your addresses.
Everybody: thanks for participating & good luck next time!

Oh - before I forget: I will write down the pattern of the garland asap,
so all of you who crochet can make a similar one yourselves.

A little give away! (Finally)

Although I wanted to have one sooner,

here it finally is. My first little give away.

The first item I'm giving away is this set of nine coasters 

which doubles...

... as a garland (photo below) - in case you're not the coaster type...
(I'll send it as garland - with a long string attached.
But it's easypeasy to remove the string.)

Secondly I'm giving away this cute little Chinese notebook.
(Which is partially lined.)
I use a similar one for scribbling down my crochet notes.

Just leave a comment and tell me what you would prefer to get.
A follow or tweet is appreciated, but not necessary to win.
I'll announce the winners on Thursday the 21th of February.
Until then you can enter the give away. [The give away is now closed!]
(I do find this rather exciting, what if nobody cares for these things at all? Yikes!)

Good luck!

Let's Ease into this Monday with Some Soft Colours

It's a grey morning here.
The few sunny days last week made me longing for spring...

What do you think of these pastel fabrics?
I purchased them in Laos from a lovely lady who had woven them herself.
Such a sweet memory.

The bobbin with the paper yarn is patiently waiting
till I have a moment of inspiration.
Which can last quite a while. :-)

Have a wonderful week!
