marrakech theme - tea & turtle

A new crochet project for the upcoming cool crochet workshop in Marrakech in October.

I've made a 'turtle' teapot holder for my moroccan teapot.

Turtles are common pets in Marrakech and in Chambres d'Amis two turtles are living in the roofgarden.

Using a turtle potholder to poor fresh verbena tea, is a cool crochet project which fits perfectly in the Marrakesh theme.



I already made a turtle pillow for the bamboo daybed last year, but that's too ambitious as a cool crochet day-project, so I designed a smaller achievable version.

Summer is not over yet...
We are enjoying one of the last August summer evenings.

The turtle pillow was a project I already started in May and it truly turned out to be a S L O W project!

Between the pile of unfinished projects, the turtle emerged and I finally took the time to finish the slow turtle pillow last week.

Isn't he cute, chilling on the daybed?
