publication mollie makes home

Pleasantly surprised with the Mollie Makes Home magazine, when I found 'his side of the bed' and 'moi' between the brightly colored moroccan wool on the cover!

A while ago I was invited for 'tea & a chat' with Mollie makes Home. You can read the interview with me from page 100, a surprising question & answer by Caroline Rowland.

In the same issue there's also the photo of our lemon rug in the Inspiration section (page 124). 'And who says a gorgeous rug has to stay on the floor? Be innovative! Be a rule-breaker.'

When I'm back from my Cool Crochet Workshop in Marrakech, there will be a Mollie Makes Home give-away on my blog.

My wood & wool stool made it to the cover of the American Craft's 2013 Holiday Lookbook.

The lookbook went live last Wednesday and will be promoted through the American Craft Council throughout the month of December. It's an exciting special edition of American Craft magazine! Just have a L O O K!

[Dutch designer Ingrid Jansen takes crochet far beyond your grandmother's afgan. Vividly colored and patterned, her garlands, blankets and pillows are made to order for the enjoyment of both children and adult. Perhaps her most noteworthy use of crochet is to cover her handmade recycled wooden stools, an exuberant addition to any home. etsy.com/shop.woodwoolstool]

After a few questions about the Moroccan basket on the cabinet, here's a look closer look at the shabby vintage bread basket from Marrakech.

I consider it an [art object] and the vivid colors have inspired me (think woodwoolstool cover...)

wood & wool
together so simple
and therefore so beautiful

Never get bored,
the beauty of some colors together.
Look at that
red, white, brown and gray,
it pops!
