café au ginkgo

Saturday 16th of November

Somewhere around this November day the ginkgo tree is at its most spectacular! An annual autumn delight!

Every year, over and over again I am cheered by the golden glow in the front garden, but also in the house.

Many outside coffee moments on the terrace at the 'café au ginkgo' this season.

annual ginkgo charm

Wednesday 15th of November

Annual charm of the golden ginkgo in the frontyard.

deep-pile ginkgo carpet

It's that time of year again.

After a few weeks of golden glow from the ginkgo tree in the frontyard and a stunning kitchen window view, almost all ginkgo leaves have fallen.

So we drink our daily coffee in the front yard on a deep-pile yellow carpet.
And we will leave the leaves for a little while, simply because it's so beautiful.

November joy of nature.

crochet bikini trend continues

You can download the crochet BIKINI TOP PATTERN in my Etsy shop and start right away with the "step by step" crochet pattern, provided lots of detailed photos (18 pages) of this crochet bikini top.

All you need is 50 grams of yarn to make your summer bikini top! Choose your favorite colour and get started. It's not difficult at all and it takes just a few hours to make it.

The golden bikini top I made last year with the some golden bling bling yarn from Marrakech. It's a very simple straightforward variation on the bikini top.

The crochet bikini trend continues for the upcoming summer season

the grand ginkgo finale

The golden week in November.

An impressive end of the yellow Ginkgo leaves in the frontyard.

After an endless summer, we are now treated to beautiful crisp autumn weather. The sun turns the yellow autumn leaves into gold.

The ginkgo tree in the frontyard is always at it's best this season and this year it seems even better.

and the Helleborus is almost ready to bloom...

palme d’or

To ignore the freezing cold outside, I went for a golden palm this morning...
(after my weekly run; unfeasible! despite wearing double running trousers and thermo shirts, woolen gloves and a beanie)

A chic version of the palm I made last week, the c c p p, that is to say cool crochet palmtree pattern or cool crochet petit projet

Still a bit of testing for the cool crochet workshop, which is coming up in April.
