After 1 week holiday around England's coast staying at Lyme Regis, the Duesseldorf airport welcomes us with heavy rain! This is really what makes you feel bad. And since I had my most beloved Cream Tea every day, I felt that I can't do any baking today. Too many calories to count for...that's why it was clear that I need to start a craft project. With the help of my friendly hot glue gun and an old sweater out of…
I wanted to have a cat in one of the photos of my baking book. The only problem being that the real life cat that I am 'working' on is still way too shy for posing. So, I simply made this crafty one out of some very cute fabric that I found in Tokyo. She is now sitting on the porch, relaxing after the photo shoot in the kitchen.
For a yummy and healthy sunday breakfast, I recommend a decent amount of peanut butter and sunny side up egg on toast. In order to avoid too many calories, everything is done crochet style. But why am I doing this ? I just came back from a vacation in Japan and "crochet food" is on a total different level there. I even bought a book about it. Of course, I can not read anything but the pictures are super cute…
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.
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…
