wood & wool harlequin rug - the pattern

Since I made my first harlequin RUG, I get lots of questions about the pattern.

My handmade harlequin rug is widely published in some interior magazines, the Bright Bazaar book, Mollie Makes Home and on many blogs.

I've made this harlequin rug with homemade fabric yarn, using piles of old T-shirts of me and my family (with their approval) Good riddance!
I have to admit that's a lot of cutting...

If you want to make this rug for your home, all you need is a hook size 12 and a huge pile of old T-shirt or about 2000 grams of fabric yarn.

After many years the 10-page harlequin rug PATTERN is now available in my Etsy shop!

publication mollie makes home

Pleasantly surprised with the Mollie Makes Home magazine, when I found 'his side of the bed' and 'moi' between the brightly colored moroccan wool on the cover!

A while ago I was invited for 'tea & a chat' with Mollie makes Home. You can read the interview with me from page 100, a surprising question & answer by Caroline Rowland.

In the same issue there's also the photo of our lemon rug in the Inspiration section (page 124). 'And who says a gorgeous rug has to stay on the floor? Be innovative! Be a rule-breaker.'

When I'm back from my Cool Crochet Workshop in Marrakech, there will be a Mollie Makes Home give-away on my blog.

double dahlia

While Lammie was making some bouquets with the flowers she picked from the garden, she found a double dahlia!
She couldn't use this one for a bouquet and gave the pretty flowers to me for my sweetheart. (merci, merci)

I've put it on his side of the bed (for he's a bit ill) in a vintage wine bottle from Spain! So damn pretty...

en vacances

Today's program; slowly packing suitcases for our roadtrip to France and Spain.

pippa's room

At Henk's office there is an annual photo competition for the staff.
The five winning photos are printed on canvas and then exhibited in the office building for a year.

One of the winning entries was this picture of the garden flowers we picked for last goodbye to granddad in the summer of 2012.

Henk took the canvas home last week and Pippa wanted it very much in her bedroom.

The flowers look great in the room of our flower girl!

Good morning sunshine.

breakfast in bed

autumn in the attic

In our attic bedroom you can clearly sense, that autumn has arrived.
The rain and the wind make lots of noise against the dormer window.
A cheerful garland solution, to compensate these autumnal days.

The bedside lamps we bought two years ago at Merci in Paris.
They are perfect for reading. It's just a pity you have to stand on the bed to switch the lights on and off...

pour les plus petits

For the little ones, there's [le département de bébé] in my tiny shop.

color is my favorite color

today

This morning I did not have to get up early and lazed on my around the world pillow (cute pillow-swap with Stof Enzo), I made a wood & wool fringe hanger for a Californian baby and Henk brought me some super scrapwood from his today's wood hunt.

bedroom boucherouite

Following the post about the new harlequin boucherouite, which I have made ​​for our living room, I've got lot's of questions about the handmade rug. Today there's a new boucherouite for the bedroom (or bathroom, or nursery or hallway).

The harlequin rug pattern is for sale in my Etsy shop!

The garden chair hibernates in the attic.
I can hardly wait until we both have moved to the garden again.
