Happy Little Sun

Hi, dear friends!

Lovely to see you again. I hope you had a lovely weekend.

Mine was very calm, good and colorful.

I decided to put a small dent in my felt stash and create these bright and cheerful ‘Little Happy Suns’.

I loved that project a lot.

They just bring a smile on my face every time I look at them.

I like them as they are but right now I am considering possible ways to use or display them.

I am thinking of hanging each little sun on the wall individually, or join them all with a beaded thread to turn them into a longer hanging wall decor… or making a garland out of them…

Or a baby mobile. I am sure they would look lovely as a mobile.

Do you have any other ideas? I’d appreciate hearing them. Do tell!!!

Oh… aaaand, I made a few pictures while they were being made… so I guess I will post a free tutorial soon. In fact, they are pretty easy to make with just some basic sewing and crocheting involved.

See you soon!

Love,
Petra

Hi, dear friends!

Lovely to see you here again! I hope you are doing fine!

Today, I am happy to introduce my newest crocheted creation to you – it’s Matilda The Owl!

Oh yes, if you know me for a little while, you’ve probably noticed how much I adore these little creatures called owls and how they hold a very special place in my heart.

There’s something so captivating and cute about them, don’t you think?

Maybe it’s in their eyes, I dunno, but what I know is that I love them to bits.

Anyhow, I had a great fun creating little Matilda. If you’d like to make one (or two, or ten) too, you can find the pattern in MY SHOP. It has a lot of pictures, as usual.

And you know what? Frankly, there’s another project brewing in my mind right now, aaand… I am afraid it will have something to do with the realm of owls too. See? I told you I’m obsessed. I can totally see it – there will definitely be a lot of colors and cuteness involved.

So, off to do some amazing hooky business…

See you soon!

Love,
Petra

What a perfectly written song!

In every single way!

I can’t stop listening to it. And I mean I CAN’T!

And besides, I think I have just found a very, very, very, very lovely item for my ‘curly collection‘, if you know what I mean…

Do you like it too? And I mean both – the song and the curls?

Love,
Petra

Fail And Therapy In Color

I failed this week.

Badly.

And then I recovered.

Quickly.

This is the whole story…

It all started with my sincere intention to show you a tutorial for the most adorable project I have stumbled upon recently – lovely chocolate cups.

New Pattern ~ Crochet 3D Flower Baby Blanket

Ta-dah!

Finally I can show you the project that I’ve been introducing to you through tiny little peeks in the past few weeks…

A Crochet 3D Flower Baby Blanket it is… and I love it.

As I mentioned earlier, I had craved working on something bigger, a pattern that would repeat on and on and that would give me enough time to relax and have a good time.

And that is exactly what this blanket has brought into my life.

Although it took me about three weeks to complete it, to tell you the truth, I am very tempted to start another one, making a brighter and wilder variation of it this time. And then probably another one in yet another color scheme.
