A new pullover :)

Just qickly wanted to show you my latest pullover I only finished the other day. Since it is pretty cold at the moment (where is the summer gone???) it is perfect to wear. What you think about it? The crocheting pattern is from the book Kultmaschen.

Winterupdate (or is it already spring?)

Last week we already hoped for the spring to come as we  had some lovely sunny days and the first little flowers started to bloom in the garden.

But yesterday it was looking like this outside!!!

So outside a lot of snow... What a perfect time to spend on the sofa with a cup of tea and some crocheting stuff. 

Here are some of the things I finished in the last weeks :)

Happy New Year!

Yeah, I know, I'm 2 days late but better late then never, right? ;-)
I hope you all had a lovely holiday and enjoyed your free days. I surely did at my parent's house and with some friends of mine.
Since we have a new year now it surey is time for a new calendar. Here is mine:

 

What is yours looking like?

And just to give you a quick update on my knitting and crocheting, here are the latest hats and a loop :D

Owl hat...

The lovely tides, which I met at kleiderkreisel liked my owl hat so much she asked for her own. Sure she got one! And she loves it! How much show these picturse she sent as a thank you. Isn't she cute?

Mediaeval times...

Did I mention that a love mediaeval markets? Well, now you know!
Last weekend was one of the biggest here in Hamburg. i am attending it for several years now and it is always great to meet old friends there.Today you get a little picture with the guys from Saor Patrol, they are really stunning people! 

Oh, and just so you know what I've been up to in crocheting lately... An I-pad cover, a new bag and a new hat :)

New hats :)

I'm in a hat feaver... they are so easy to make and finish up quickly :) Here are some from the last weeks:

Finally knitting...

 Yeah, finally, after years of not letting it get close to me, I asked my mum to show me how to knit. This was the first testing stripe... (yes, I know, others start with straight lines. Well, I'm not others, right ;) )

And this is the first finished knitted piece, a loop scarf with a crocheted flower pin.

Saturday creativity

Yesterday my package from Tchibo arrived with lots of supplies for beadworks and clothing creativity. Isn't this such a colourful inspiration? I am sure I will be doing some nice stuff over the next weeks with these kits.

The first thing I did with it today was this: I had a very lovely necklace for quite some time which I never really wore because it was much to long so I decided to take it apart, shorten it and make some earrings out of the leftovers. The result is on the right pic. I love it and will wear it tonight when I go out with a friend :) What do you think about it?

Easter days

I'm back from my parents where I spent the last days over Easter. I love the way my mum decorated the front door, always beautiful. And I found out that I have had a love for polka dots from an early age as my favourite easter egg is one that is pink with big white dots, it has been made about 30 years ago...

My parents have a love for orchids. This is the latest in full bloom. I love the colour!

My brother was there with his son, is'nt this a lovely picture of him and my dad reading a book together? And the owl has to be there all the time ;)

And I finally had the time to finish my crotcheted tunika. I'm very proud of it, since it took quite some time and it fits :)

Enjoy the rest of your day :)

April days...

What a day! When I first looked out of the window I was a bit shocked! Snow! No, I don't want any snow anymore! Can't it just stop now? I don't want a snowy Easter weekend! But one look into the garden made it all better.
I love those red primroses with the yellow centre piece.

Oh, and just so you know: That's the way my nails look like at the moment. I like the colours and the Astor Laque DeLuxe works very well!

Enjoy the rest of your day :)

Stormy spring

 What a strange weather today... It was very stormy with rain, snow, storm and sun. No, nothing to leave the house! So I brought the spring home - tulips :)

And I took the time for doing some DIY. Some weeks ago I found the idea but I can't remember where :/
Anyways, this is the result:

A new lovely clutch in polka dots...
