chameleon crochet

After completing a custom made stool cover for Pip from London, I suddenly realized the cover has adapted to the boucherouite carpet in our living room.

A case of chameleon crochet.

knitting on the carpet

Weekend knitting on the carpet.

Love it! (with music & tea)
Yesterday I finished the back side of the knitted sweater dress.
Now I'm working on the front side and I'm almost halfway :)
The sleeves will be easy, so maybe I can wear my black sweater dress next week!

fall leaves & full bloom

While the walnut tree in our garden is dropping it's leaves, the zinnias are still in full bloom.

eureka from ourika

The plastic baskets are from Morocco. It took a while but now they are here in our garden.
During the Cool Crochet workshop in April, I've found them at a market place down the Ourika river and got an EUREKA(!)thought...
The baskets have the most marvelous colors and patterns.
I imagined the baskets would look great around the terra cotta pots in our garden.
It looks even better than I imagined. We love it!

vintage bottle table lamp

Meanwhile on the canteen table in our kitchen:

Vintage bottle becomes table lamp stand. I took it from our jars collection on top of the kitchen cupboard. The lampshade comes from our attic.

Working on a new stool cover for a special birthday stool of my sweet friends daughter.

As you can see, Lammie also has left her name on our canteen table.

the hallway table

The hallway table.

As in all other places in the house, the composition of the hallway table changes regularly; a lamp, a vase, plates, prints or painting on the wall... (a large basket under the table with scarves and gloves for all family members during winter)

However, the yellow basket is always on the table and everybody throws in his or her keys, when entering the house.

bugs, seeds, a basket and a jug

Spring things on this Sunday morning.

the red makes it

Our kitchen, this Friday morning.

The kitchen is actually very basic, white and bright. The red makes it...(without dominating)

I love this place!

Parallel projects (I like that) I am currently working on. Growing harlequins in bright and pastel colors. I'm making some new harlequin pillows. They will be soon in the shop.
