Extra happy hangers and a fancy cloth

In dottie angels first book, I found the pattern for the 'Happy hanger'. Since I used padded hangers, I had to double the pattern, hence extra happy hangers.... The first one got a picot edging as well.

 The cloth was just something I felt like making, I made it quite a while ago and now I finished it by adding the patch and the heart. Now I have to think of a 'use' for it...

Hasta luego!

Baby pink

My dear friend Debby gave birth to a beautiful baby girl...what a great excuse to get out all my pinks and create a girly gift! I made a garland using Michelle's Grandma hearts tutorial and a babyowl with Matawi's pattern (I altered it a bit though, crocheted little hearts for wings and added little plumes for extra cuteness):

Hasta luego!

It's beginning to look, a bit, like christmas...

In the area I live in, I haven't really found a good thrift store. However...there is another, much more exiting way to find treasures: here, people just put everything they don't want anymore in or next to the large garbage bins you find on the side of the roads. On our way to town we pass at least 5 of these places and we always keep our eyes wide open! This is our latest treasury and I think one of the best we ever found, a wooden cabinet with drawers and doors. It now serves as a 'welcome to our house' on our patio. With some subtle decorations in a christmassy style:

Do you see the cute granny stocking? I made it from a pattern by the wonderful and talented Michelle. I bought it in her Etsy store. Michelle's had pompoms on the back, but my pompommaker hadn't arrived at that time, so instead I made the snowflake from 'Eline's Winterhuis' book:
Because it is such an easy to make pattern, I also made this one, which I adorned with a colourful trim I found at Lucy's blog:
And as a gift to my pregnant friend Debby, I made a cute babypink one as well:

And a card too

I almost forgot, I made a baby card too:

It's a simple card, but I love the little flags.....Ingrid inspired me to make them. And making this card inspired me to do some more scrapbooking. It's too dark to make photographs of my other work, so...to be continued....

Hasta luego!

Baby cuteness

My dear friend Astrid gave birth to a little baby boy and I wanted to make him some cute gifts. So I made him a Dachshund (pattern in Dutch), a washcloth and a tiny basket (both my own design):

I also made a starsgarland (I already gave Astrid a hearts garland in the same colours during her pregnancy). The stars I made from a tutorial by Michelle. The cute felt Dachshund in pink and blue were made by Erica, a.k.a. the wonderful Mrs. Felt from Crochet meets Felt. So I think we can say......the Crochet meets Felt range of baby products is born! More to come, because we're exploding with ideas. That's what creative minds do, don't they, you're working on something and the next idea is already filling your head!

Hasta luego!
