This week i've knitted three red beanies.

Pippa asked me to make a thight red beanie for her some weeks ago.
So I ordered a crochet kit with two red balls of 100% wool and a crochet needle at we are knitters™.
Pippa's beanie was ready in less than 2 hours. She loves it and I made another one for a sweet friend the next day. I could easily make two thight beanie out of one ball of wool and so had enough wool left to make myself another beanie in red. (like my brown beanie) It's lovely to wear, so warm and soft!

Finally I decided to knit the three hats anyway and did use the crochet needle only to make a big red heart... Knitting with needles No 15 goes like a rocket!

Today we visited the autumn B R O C A N T E edition of Maria de Haan & Lammie Snoeken in Amsterdam.

It's brilliant, how these two lovely ladies manage to gather so many extraordinary objects and beautiful things. Chapeau!

Maria's house at the Sarphatipark 126-H in Amsterdam is transformed into the most remarkable brocante shop for two weekends.
If you have a change to visit, I'm sure you won't regret.

You are welcome this weekend on 29th, 30th of November and 1st of December
and on the 6th, 7th and 8th of December next weekend.
The door is open from 11:00 AM.

PS: we bought that adorable [delacoste] display rack...

the s i n t e r k l a a s tree

the s i n t e r k l a a s tree

For those who don't even think about Christmas, until Sinterklaas travels back to Spain...
You can already have that tree and just re-decorate it after 5 December.

Moreover this tiny x-mas tree is ideal for children who love to have a tree in their own bedroom and decorate it themselves!

It's piece of cake and you can change the decoration more than once...
