coconut & cover project

Two new projects on the bench. (and a basket full next to it)

Beyond the recent city trips, there is always a crochet project on the hook.

At the moment I'm working on a new harlequin pillow cover, with merino wool that I bought in Antwerp a few months ago. (actually for a warm beanie, whatever winter season is over)

The other project is a coconut palm.

My dear husband came home with this coconut palm last week, apparently he has been infected with the plant virus too. The coconut palm needs loads of sunshine, so I hope it will survive indoors the next few weeks, until it is warm enough to move it to the backyard. No complaints about the sunlight so far...

round & round

The round pillow is finished and I love it!

The other side of the pillow is s t r i p e d, I like it when a pillow has two different sides.
So I decided to make a new design with the same colors spread evenly over the round.
It was algebra crochet, a huge challenge.
However, I can not recommend anyone to work with eight balls of yarn at once.
The hassle was worth it, the pillow is awesome.

The L O V E plate we bought at Anthropologie in London last April.

Our giant green G moved to the Garden and made room for the beautiful vintage mirror, we found at the Spring brocante of Lammie & Maria in Amsterdam.

The cute shiny pineapple from Oman was a gift from Hinke.

Our Moroccan boucherouite rug in front of the bench is a souvenir from Marrakech.
