color coordinated

I crocheted a new harlequin pillow cover for our bamboo daybed and matched the colors to the (homemade) cushions, that I made from a Berber blanket some years ago. Look here.

One of my best-loved crochet projects, this harlequin pillow. You can download the pattern in my ETSY SHOP.

Furthermore, the IFFR film festival started today and I sponsored the (online) festival by ordering a poster and beanie.

'his' baby blanket

I made a simple natural blanket for Pippa's baby. Made with love in her style and favorite color, matching their baby room.

You can find the CROCHET PATTERN in my Etsy shop. Easy level with crochet chart, tips and tricks.

And the photo is made in 'our' baby room on the attic with Pippa's baby doll Mees in the bamboo crib hahaha...

checks & stripes

Checkered, double checkered, crochet cushion.

Made with the softest yarn from Marrakech.

The handmade checkered crochet pillow is reversible and has two frontsides. One with white and lilac and the other side with white, lilac, raspberry pink, pastel pink, bright blue, pale blue and yellow.

The colors reflect in the cover that I made from striped Moroccan woven blankets, for the vintage bamboo daybed.

As a matter of fact I wanted to keep it myself, but you can't keep everything, right?

The checkered crochet cushion is available in my Etsy shop.

chevron baby blanket

Enjoy the weekend!

The first multicolored baby blanket I made in 2010; check this :-)

You can find the black bb18 blanket in my ETSY SHOP. There's only one.

slow summer evening

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?

crochet mood

Afternoon crochet on the vintage bamboo daybed.

Working on a warm winter shawl, in a very cool crochet technique.
I will show it soon on the blog.

knit purl repeat

Knit purl repeat.

Best way for me to relax is to knit (or crochet of course).

Did you know crochet and knitting boost relaxation for nearly everyone who picks up hooks and needles?

This is the new sweater I'm working on (see previous post). I will make a shorter version of the knitted sweater dress for a change, in a great colour that goes with everything.

So I'm knitting on the rug; knitpurlrepeat...

tada!

The black & white baby blanket pattern is available in my E T S Y - S H O P.

baby blanket pattern

Finally!

I've written the pattern of the wood & wool baby blanket. The first one I already made in 2010 and during the last 6 years received lots of questions about the pattern.

This black & white version of the blanket I started in August last year, so it's about time to finally finish the project!

The pattern is NOW available in my E T S Y - S H O P and you can find a lot of different versions on my blog, when you search for baby blanket inspiration!

handmade harlequin baby blanket

A handmade harlequin blanket is the perfect item for a babyroom.

You can make this multicolored blanket with wool leftovers. You can also make a very natural colored version if you prefer.

Making a babyblanket is so much fun! All harlequins are simple small projects and when you make one or just a few a day, you finally have enough harlequins to make a unique blanket.

At the moment I'm working on a white & colors version and I'm making it in a bigger size for our daybed.

You can make the blanket with all types of yarn and in any size you want.

The harlequin p a t t e r n is available HERE.
