eclectic pixels

Popping pixels! Love at first sight, when I spotted our 'new' handmade pixel daybed spread.

It's an oldie from eastern europe with a colorful flower border, craftsmanship with an eclectic embroidery technique and lacy crochet.

Last week it was actually laying on our bed end, but I prefer to enjoy it all day, so the bright pixel blanket moved to the daybed in our livingroom.

What i like most about the bold multicolored harlequin pillow is the black & white outline!

The new harlequin pillow is now available in the s h o p.

proud as a peacock

The blue harlequin pillow I've made with the wool from South Africa that Cornel brought for me last month, is finished!
The hand-dyed Vinnis bamboo cotton yarn was great to work with and I'm proud as peacock.

Thanks again sweet Cornel! (vanoggend al in gebruik geneem, as ekstra kussing vir 'n ontbyt op die bed)

daybed days

The stormy November days just make me want to curl up on the daybed. Just to relax a bit and listen to music, doing nothing except maybe a little crochet.

The natural rhythm of winter is to hibernate, so there is nothing strange about this.
Take it easy!

One pillow, two faces!

I love to make 'fabric' with wool. All colors can be combined! The trick is how to make them work.

This harlequin pillow is now for sale in my Etsy shop ♦ 50% off ♦

summer sofa

The white summer sofa is for sale.

Last weekend we found a vintage bamboo daybed and we don't have place for another sofa in the livingroom.

So the white sofa has to go, with pain in my heart i've to admit...

It's an Ikea Nikkala sofa (not available anymore) with a natural white cotton sofa cover by Bemz.

The boucherouite rug is a souvenir from the Cool Crochet workshop in Marrakech last April.

The bottom photo shows the colorful boucherouite from above in the patio of the beautiful riad, where we stayed at my friend Anke.

pillow meets plidéal

I could easily blog on with some more travel workshop reports from Marrakech, but since we are back in the Netherlands for a while, it's about time for something else.

New in the S H O P: wood & wool harlequin pillow. It's my favorite pillow design.

The vintage Plidéal chair is a lucky gift :)
