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 do a regular flower…with the magic loop and double crochets. Just added round after round until had appr. 18 cm. The green leaf, the apple core and the stem I added at the end. I think the last time I did some potholders, must have been 30 years ago. I am so proud about my work!
The crochet edge for the postcards given me some headache, but after watching a tutorial, it turned out not too complicated for me after all. And now I can hang them on a wall, if i like!
So I decorated the table for some nice pictures, showing you the results of my crochet weekend. I also added some things that my hubby’s sister gave me. She’s a pro. Maybe these pictures will inspire you to start crafting a little bit as well. Let’s crochet!
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 animal.
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 the warm days that will come very soon! have a nice sunday to all of you! I will do that too, maybe with some cake in the left hand and a nice hot cuppa tea in the other.
