The Dutch p a t t e r n of this newly designed WOOD & WOOLY FUNKY FRINGES WAISTCOAT is now for sale in my Etsy shop.

This funky item is a variation on the wood & wooly baby cardigan; slightly less flashy, only some fringes in between.

The English version of the pattern will soon be available. I will keep you updated.

californian sunset colors

A while ago a lovely lady from California asked me if i could make her a stool, with mainly white cover and some light blue, lavender, grey and teals.
So I picked the colors from my wool cupboard and started the project. Also found a beautiful matching piece of wallpapered scrapwood.
I fell in love with this one...

Meanwhile the stool is standing across the pond, in sunny California.

(those colors remind me of the stunning colors of a Californian sunset)

indian summer outfit

I sewed this 'indian summer dress' up last week, for my upcoming trip to Marrakech.
Between all Snor Festival preparations of the last weeks I started this 'side project', for which I actually did not have time at all, but heck... (i always tend to do side projects when i don't have time for it)

I made the dress of two beautiful cotton scarves, it's nice and cool to wear.
So the dress is already packed in my suitcase for the Cool Crochet Workshop in Marrakech that will start next week!
