I made 42 granny squares in the last few months to make a lovely baby blanket. It was a lot of work, but I'm so enormous thrilled with the end result, it was definitely the hard work worth it!

Down here the progress:


First I made 42 granny squares

Than I sew them all together by hand

An finally I added some waffle cotton at the back of the blanket

Throwback: BEARS!

 In the last period I made such a lovely bear toys, it would be a shame not to share them!

First bear (displayed in the left upper corner) is the two-legged bear of Lanukas. The yellow bears are based on the pattern of Stip en Haak. The bears in the two lower corners are based on patterns of InArt. And last but not least the rattle bear (in the middle of the right side) is just a product of my own, and I was inspired by lots of pins at Pinterest.

Have a nice weekend!

BEARS

 I'm totally into all kind of shades of ocher yellow... It seems that ocher yellow is pretty perfect for everything! I made this set of bears specially for a little girl. I think it's really cool in with these colors, I must admit: I really like it!

I used a pattern of  Stip en haak, it's available in Dutch and English, and for the yarn I used Phildar Coton 3, my favorite yarn!

Nine best of 2016

It's already 2017! I wish you all a very good and creative year! It's time to look back and show my nine best of 2016.
It was a creative year for me, I made lots of great things. Such as the Fox Gunther. The two legged bear and some bunny cuddle cloths based made by my own imagination. A great pink Lion for a little girl. Another lovely little bear in a pink shirt. Some finger puppets, another bear, and last but not least a seahorse rattle.

I hope, you will visit my site in 2017 again with lots of pleasure. I keep trying to inspire you! If you don't want to miss any post, follow me at Facebook!

Seahorse Rattle

Who doesn't love a book about crochet? I have lot's of crochet books, and once in a while I can't resist a flick through some of them. I especially love to flick through them when I'm out of inspiration. Or if I know what kind of thing I want to make, but can't find a great free pattern on the internet. Also this time... For months it was on my whish list to make a seahorse, but couldn't find a great pattern (most of the time I'm too lazy to make one myself). By then it was one of those nights I flicked through some of my crochet books and found this lovely pattern! I decided to make this one for a little newborn girl. I think it turned out very cute, doesn't it?

You can find the pattern in this book (Dutch) from Christel Krukkert
I used Phildar Coton 3 and crochet needle 2.5mm
To turn this lovely stuffed toy into a rattle, I put a rattle bead in the head

Lot's of love

Cat rattle (link to pattern)

Last week we went on maternity visit. We bought a very cute picture book from Dikkie Dik. And of course I crocheted also a cute present! I always like to match the crochet stuff, by the theme of the book. I found this lovely cat crochet pattern at Stip en Haak. I used Philar Coton yarn 3 in two colors, 70 Melon for the base and 77 Tournesol for the cheeks. this cuddly toy fits perfectly with the picture book!

Pink lion

I have a lot of crochet books. However, usually I use the internet for inspiration... but not for this time. Because I was looking for a lion pattern, and I wasn't satisfied with the patterns I found at the internet. So I grabbed my crochet books and started to look for a lovely lion... and than suddenly I found a great pattern in this book Amigurumi World - Seriously cute crochet. Yeah! For this lion I used some pink yarn from Phildar and a 2.5 mm hook. O and by the way, not only the lion pattern in this book is really cute, I can recommend also the other patterns in it!

Bear (pattern available)

Bears, again! It might that bears become my second love after bunnies ;).
They ask me to make something for a baby boy. This bear below was one of the patterns I saved for the right moment, and this was the right moment I think.

Square coasters (pattern available)

Coasters! It decorates your table instantly. I have seen many coasters at Pinterest, mostly round. Often with flowers, too cosy for me. I was looking for more square coasters, but still cute, and not too girly. When I found this crochet pattern from Mango Tree Crafts, I knew I wanted to make these and use them as coasters.

I crocheted five of them with a 4 mm hook and some Drops Paris yarn. They turned out great.

I bond them together with a nice ribbon and gave these as a present to my cousin, who had a house warming today!

 Have a nice weekend!

Fox Gunther

Ask someone to draw a fox quickly and they probably come up with something like this. I must admit that I'm truly in love with this design of La Maison Victor. The best thing is, that this pattern is free! You will find it here: Fox Gunther
