My hubby loves „My Neighbor Totoro“, so when his sister asked me for birthday gift recommendations, I said „Why don´t you try to make him a crochet Totoro“. I am not very good (and not patient) at crafty things that are „accurate“, so this was the perfect challenge for her. What she came back with is simply amazing. Of course the hubby already asked and wants the little white „Chibi Totoro“ for Xmas. I am not mentioning the ginger cat here, messing around with the pictures.
To clear out all sorts of crafty leftovers, I came up with the idea for this summer bunting. Little crochet things, buttons, tapes and laces are piling up everywhere at our house and their presence might get questioned by the hubby. So a bunting is the perfect camouflage. However, since the weather is not so nice yet, I had to put it up indoors. I am very happy with the result. Although it looks a little bit too white to me. I will think of adding a vintage look by my usual „Earl Grey“ tea coloring before I put it on the front porch.
Just before Easter my friend Dani from Danroeschen got her cute little baby boy. Of course, I „volunteered“ to take some pictures of him that should also turn into an Easter card. Great plan, but much easier said than done, as I had never done any baby photos before. Luckily I had some help from friends. Brigitte did the cute outfit and Farina took care of the „positioning“. In the end everything turned out very nice. So Hippity Hoppity Happy Easter from one fluffy little bunny to all of you.
Spring in Germany means spring cleaning. It´s in our genes, everybody does it so I had to do my part as well. But instead of the usual window cleaning, I came up with a very nice way to organize some of my stamp collection in an old vintage type case (yes, „some“, I am afraid there are more).
It all started with a friend of mine saying that he had a vintage blue door that I might like. Of course, bring it on. So, a couple of hours later the door was delivered. But what to do with it ? Is it going to be a table or stay a door ? I don´t know yet. I was only sure that it needed some additional „vintage“. So Ina helped me trying to cover it with roses for it´s new yet to be determined purpose. I promise, I´ll let you know the minute I know what it is. Due to the perfect weather, it was so much fun finally working outside again, so we took some more pictures of the ‚homeless‘ cat observing our activity (aka sleeping) and our house in the spring evening sun.
