white & black in color

The old grey sorting cupboard on my desk is currently filled with black and white yarn for an 'unusual' b & w project.

I'm working on a black & white version of my well known colorful baby blanket (design anno 2010).

spinning around

It sometimes occures I'm starting a crochet project without knowing what it's gonna be.

I like that stage, it's only the beginning of 'something' and still can become anything.
This 'project' is an example of starting something.

After making lots of square and oblong objects, i felt like making something round again.
So I'm crochetting, making rounds and rounds and rounds and rounds and rounds and I suddenly had a cute curtain for the round window in my vintage cupboard.
No, that's not it! Or perhaps a bottom for a bag?

For a while it was just nothing again, simply making lovely colorful round stripes on the garden bench.
I went on spinning around and came to the conclusion it will be just another pillow project after all.
We don't have a round pillow in the house yet, so it's about time...
The sunny stripes also would look great on the garden bench I guess.

waar magazine

For her bachelor Allround Styling, Esmeray, student at the Academy Artemis, made Waar Magazine.

She was inspired by the giftshop Waar in Rotterdam. It's a gift shop for sustainable gifts.
She asked if she could use our home for styling and photography of the magazine. Meanwhile Esmeray successfully completed her project.
As a reward for the 'use of our house', we received a printed copy. Great job!

Take a look inside the newspaper...

new pillow design

The diamonds have grown, however not the size of the pillow. 
Bend your head sideways to the left, to get an impression of the pillow.

It is not a tapestry,
it's my project from a distance.
I pinned the wool to the wood for a while.
Now I know what it will be...
(new projects often start this way) to be continued...
