Hooray it's Friday....Petit Four Crochet Along day!

Today Grietje has posted her 6th petit four and it's yummy again. The 'moorkop', which this weeks petit four is a miniature version of,  is a special Dutch treat: puffy pastry filled with whipped cream and covered in thick, rich chocolate icing. The petit four has some extra whipped cream and a chocolate biscuit roll on top. So this is what my petit four collection looks like now:

I really admire Grietjes creativity to think of a new petit four every week. Thanks again for such a lovely pattern! On Grietje's blog you will find both the Dutch and the English version.

Wishing you all a very happy weekend,
Hasta luego!

Cherry Petit Four with cream

I just couldn't wait making this weeks Petit Four from Grietje Karwietjes blog....it's soooo cute and yummy! So I started right away and now my tray is filled with five crocheted petit fours:

For all of you wanting to join in, you will find the pattern here (both in Dutch and in English), have fun!

Wishing you all a very happy weekend,

Hasta luego!

Banana Petit Four with....chocolate treat!

Just in time for the new pattern, I finished the fourth Petit Four in Grietje Karwietjes Petit Four Crochet Along....just a lack of time, because it was yummy again: a Banana Chocolate Petit Four with chocolate sprinkles on top. Because I wanted to make all my petit fours from yarn only, I altered the topping (I didn't want to make the same sprinkles as last week...) and added a bit of cream and a little chocolate:

I used to love these little lacy chocolates when I was a little girl and was always hoping that my piece of the cake would have one....

I'm off now...crocheting this weeks petit four!

Hasta luego!

Mint Quark Petit Four

A lot of hooky people are looking forward to friday more than ever since Grietjes 'Petit Four Crochet Along' and I'm defenitely one of them! It's always a very pleasant surprise to see what she came up with. This week she gives us the recipe...eeeeh.....pattern for a Mint Quark Petit Four with little candy sprinkles on top. In the original pattern there are a felt tag and sprinkles made from little beads, but I always prefer to crochet everything. And I have to say I'm quite happy how it turned out:

Wishing you all a very happy weekend! I'm off to prepare the Landrover for the next guests.....can't crochet all day...:(

Hasta luego!

Another yummy piece of crochet

Today the second pattern in Grietje's 'Petit Four Crochet Along' was published and I made it instantly again. Another easy to follow pattern with a very cute result:

So now I have two of these sweeties on my dish, I can't wait until next week!

Hasta luego!

Yummie post...chocolate petit four with strawberry cream and nut

I have very little crochet time at the moment, so this morning, I decided to treat myself to some when I saw the first pattern of Petit-Four-crochet-along on Grietje Karwietjes blog. It's an easy to follow pattern, now only in Dutch, but the Englisch version will follow soon. Here's my version of it, isn't it cute? It's only 5 cms high...

But the best thing is yet to come: Grietje will post a new pattern every friday, so at the end we'll have a platter full of yummy petit fours!

Hasta luego!
