A couple if weeks back, I have worked on a vintage lace curtain for the porch door. I liked it so much that, with a little bit of free time during rainy German pre-summer weekends, I made some more for the kitchen windows. In the back you can spot the vintage bunting from the porch as well.
I am always impressed with all the crochet things seeing on Pinterest. I need to work on my crochet skills and was looking for something really easy to start with. First thing were the granny square coasters with 2 colours. Couldn't be too difficult, can they? As they turned out so nice, I was highly motivated and added some pompoms, during watching TV (you can always use pompoms for everything, right?). For the Apple potholder, I started as I would…
Finally, the weather is like spring, so the front porch can also be decorated 'accordingly'. For the next couple of months I decided to use a curtain of tassles on our front porch that I have torn from all sorts of fabric. Took quiet some time but it was worth it. For the vintage look, I dyed them in black tea. I did the same with the doily bunting.
Yes, I know, I haven´t posted anything in a week or so. Reason for that is: I am working on various 'soon need to be finished' ideas that are circling around my mind: I need to get them done and off my table. Speaking of my table, here's what it looks like today. Maybe with that you can a little relate to, what´s going on in my head.
After so many nice reaction on the Crochet Flower Garland with over 2500 pic views on Flickr, I felt encouraged by you and by the upcoming warm spring weather (really now, I promise) to continue the "series". So here´s the latest, my "Sweet Spring Crochet Flower Wreath" I am very proud of. If you look closely enough you even see some cute little animals living there. I count the happy mushroom that my hubby's sister brought to life as an…
Well, I really have had to hurry with this garland! Since the weather forecast says that the winter is coming back later today with lot of snow and minus temperatures again - I wanted to keep the spring feeling and hang my new garland in the window. It was raining the whole day yesterday so I had enough time to put all the flowers together and decorate everything...I am gonna try to ignore the snow and think forward of all…
Oh my gosh, it seems like forever, since I posted some pictures on my lovely website. The reason for that was not, that I am the laziest person in the world, no, I was really down with the flu, but it seems like everybody has that at the moment. But Friday was the first day, when I felt a little better and I immediately turned into crafty-Andrea. I can show you my new bunting, made out of different sized doilies…
