Celebrate love every day, not only on Valentine's day!

In my ETSY shop you can find the filet crochet pattern of the L O V E pillow cover.

It's an easy level crochet pattern (in Dutch and English version) and you can use it in several ways, not only as a pillow cover, but also as a bag, curtain or doily.

wooden valentine card

Express your love on wood...

Surprise your sweatheart!

You can order your own custom made ‘WOOD & WORD SIGN’ with whatever text. (keep the text short, otherwise it won't fit)

Be creative, almost anything is possible;

[your name] [just a word] [a message for your lover] [love] [something stupid] [something funny] [your motto]

Use it as a 'postcard' and it will be sent to the address you want.

tiny ♥ workshop

Wat heb je nodig?

haaknaald 3 of 3½
bolletje katoen nr. 8

Zet 1 kettingsteek op.
1e toer:
3 lossen voor het 1e stokje (elke toer van het hartje begint met 3 lossen, deze steken tellen als 1e stokje van de toer) en 3 stokjes waarbij je de haaknaald steeds in de 1e kettingsteek steekt (= 4 stokjes)

2e toer:
3 stokjes op hetzelfde stokje, 1 stokje op elk van de vorige stokjes, 3 stokjes op het volgende stokje.

3e toer:
2 stokjes op hetzelfde stokje, 1 stokje op elk van de volgende 6 stokjes, 2 stokjes op het volgende stokje.

4e toer:
2 samen afgekante stokjes, 1 stokje op elk van de volgende 2 stokjes, 1 vaste op elk van de volgende 2 stokjes, 1 stokje op elk van de volgende 2 stokjes, 2 samen afgekante stokjes.

Klaar is je hartje!

Om een ♥-slinger te maken, moet je meerdere hartjes haken. Eventueel in verschillende kleuren. Kant de draadjes af met een stopnaald. Als je voldoende hartjes hebt kun je ze aan een stukje sisaltouw rijgen met een stopnaald en maak je aan de bovenkant van het sisaltouw een lusje, zodat je de slinger kunt ophangen.

la la la love

A declaration of love, makes everyone's heart sing.
(even if you don't want to mention the v-word)

Just be sweet to your sweetheart and enjoy your weekend!

...and yes, it has been rather silent here for a while, for I was in bed with the flu this week.

send love

Once more blossom branches, because they are even more enchanting than a few days ago.

 

And once again the heart cards. After all, it's almost Valentine's day and otherwise there is always a reason to send some love.

 

There are still a few sets with handcurved waved edges for sale.

[i love you]

This cool crochet trip is perfect for you!

During your stay in Marrakech you will reside in the super-stylish riad chambres d'amis.

There are two options, whether in spring or autumn; you can learn cool crochet in Marrakech.
In spring I will go there with my love. Yeah.

More cool news; Since yesterday my handmade postcards are for sale at Villa Augustus!

For the time being, these two 'valentine' cards are the first ones, but I'm working on expanding the collection and making prints for my Etsy shop.

Henk (my love) & I do not celebrate Valentine's Day today.

In 1986 we met on February 15 for the very first time.
(as far as I can remember Valentine's Day did not even 'exist' in the Netherlands at that time...)

Tomorrow we celebrate our anniversary day in Antwerp and stay in Boulevard Leopold.
