Antique-chic

With our previous crochet-group get together a few patterns was send for the girls to see if there is any they would like.

My mom chose this old little red book. I paged through it and found a pattern that I just had to make. To think that this pattern dates from 1946 . . . I added some modern yarn, and VOILA - fit for a princess.







Have a fabulous creative week, I will be recapping on the month of April soon . . .

Lotsa love

Crochet - my other hobby

Last winter I cama across a facebook page - Wol en Naalde, I was so inspired by all the gorgeous work and just had to go out and get some wool and cotton. It wasn't long before I was hooked, and I mean really hooked.
 
I have made a few items since then and just can't stop. The more I create the more I want to make even more beautiful stuff. And the ideas are endless, inspiration around every corner of the world wide web.
 
My latetst creation that I want to share is a laundrey bin I made from Elle cotton on and Vinnis nikkim cotton - it is going with all the rest of the trimmings in my bathroom, and I will be happy to fill its belly with dirty laundrey.

 
I am happy with the way it turned out.
 
Looking forward to share some more of my creations with you.
 
Lotsa love
