<div>
To get started: Chain 4, join with slipstitch.</div>
Round 1: Chain 2, 15 double crochets in initial chain-4 circle, join with ss in top stitch of first ch2. You have 16 stitches in total.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Round 2: Chain 2 in any stitch, dc in same stitch, chain 1. Now make a 2dcc, 1ch into the next 11 stitches. I use the ss from the previous round as a stitch as shown in the picture (see needle). Join with ss in top stitch of the first ch2. (See pic).<br />
<br />

<br />
Round 3: Chain 2 in a ch1 space from the previous round, dcc into same space, chain 2. Into the next 15 ch1 spaces, make a 3dcc (so with an extra dc). In the previous round it was a 2 dc cluster, now we make 3dc clusters. (See photo's). Join with ss in top stitch of the first ch2. (See pic).<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Round 4: Into the last chain 2 space of the previous round, ch2, 2 dc, ch2, 3dc. This is your first corner. *into the next space, 3hdc, into the next 3sc, into the next, 3 hdc, into the next 3 dc, ch2, 3dc*. Repeat * to * until you've reached your initial corner. Join with ss in top stitch of the first ch2. (See pic).<br />

That's is. Finish off the loose ends and proceed as a normal granny square if you like (3 dc's in every space between and 3dc, ch2, 3dc into each corner).<br />

My cushion is all finished. It turned out just the way I wanted, a real colorbomb! And I do like the off white instead of the bright white I usually used. To join the squares I used the <a href="http://colorncream.blogspot.com/2014/04/mastering-basics-join-as-you-go.html" target="_blank">join-as-you-go</a> method.<br />

Those of you who follow me on Instagram already know I've designed a new grannysquare. Today I made a chart pattern for you guys to use. I plan to make a tutorial next week. My first after a looooooong time. Exciting!!<br />

I've loved making these squares. They are so bright and colorful and I love how they make me feel while making them.<br />

My favorite shade of pink is no longer available and I must admit, that kind of made me angry at first. How could they??? But than I started using the new pink, a little brighter, a little more 'in your face' and I kinda got used to it. It really pops out, don't you think?<br />

I've missed this blog for a long time. And kept wondering if I should start again and go on where I left it. I haven't been very decisive about it.<br />

I started posting pictures on Instagram and, although I like it, I miss writing and making a story of my projects. I actually love the process of it and to share it with other crochet enthusiasts.<br />

Still not sure what it will become, this blog, but just thought I'd share some pictures with you of what I've been doing these last few weeks.<br />

Enjoy and have a lovely day!<br />

I like the edging too. It's very simple, like most of the edgings I use. But it makes the colors pop and it compliments the cushion.</div>

Hello, my dear readers. I'm back! As you might have noticed, I've been absent these last few weeks. Not because of a holiday (sadly) but because I had a nervous breakdown 3 weeks ago and was lying in bed all this time, trying to relax as much as possible...</div>

I have ME and although I have been doing really well the last year, I wasn't careful enough about my diet and so I kind of relapsed. Luckily, I have a very helpful and caring man, who is very capable of taking over everything when this happens and our parents (in law) are always happy to take care of the kids. Everybody was very willing to pitch in and that made me realize how lucky we are.</div>

So, I'm taking it SLOW, at least as slow as I allow myself to go. I need to take better care of myself and that will have consequences for Color 'n Cream. I will be making less tutorials for now and probably post a little less frequent than I used to.<br />

This is our dog, Billy, by the way. Ain't she sweet when she's relaxing??!! A lot of us could learn from her. I guess I'm not the only one always running and stressing about unimportant stuff... Or am I??<br />

The pictures show you our living room. I've been thrifting a lot lately, sometimes with my new friend Miranda (<a href="http://www.mierpapier.nl/" target="_blank">MierPapier</a>). I actually went to visit her yesterday and it gave me soo much energy. It's so nice to find someone you can relate to so easily. And I got a preview of some of her new designs... They are wonderful!<br />

Because of the new Color Bombs I'm working on, I had a lot of fun experimenting with colors. I made some new combinations while working on the hexagon project and this combination feels suitable for the weather and season at the moment...<br />

Especially since my craft room is starting to look more and more exactly the way I like it! I will be making some pic's soon. I've decided to start sharing some more interior pictures of my house.

And then, every time I get stuck or feel unhappy I just get my book and go through it from the first to the last page. As you can see, the colors would make anybody happy. And I get filled with inspiration to make new things.<br />

I'm so glad I opened up to you guys last week, about my doubts and feelings concerning my blog and business. It really helped me clear my mind and getting things back in perspective. The thing is, I really LOVE Color 'n Cream and I love that I'm able to do what I'm good at. I'm totally full of energy again and this morning I made a list of what I'm to do (and although it's a LOT, I'm looking forward to it too!!).<br />

I've been having some fun these last few days. Like making these flowers from the little Mollie Makes Summer Homestyle book. I wanted to do this for ages, but I didn't know where I'd put it... I did some tidying up and found it again. This is a real fun project!! And it really brightens up the place!<br />

Do you see the little grey ball, with the little legs and feet? That's my first paper maché project. Miranda from<a href="http://www.mierpapier.nl/" target="_blank"> Mier Papier</a> taught me last tuesday how to make this. It's so much fun. We totally had fun too. We met in Sweden, where we were both selling at the same market and instantly hit it off. When I visited her, I came in and we just talked and talked and talked for 7!!! hours and we have a lot of the same interests and taste. Her house is the prettiest I've ever seen, but naturally, I forgot my camera... Next time I will make photo's to share with you guys!<br />

The orange shoe in the pictures tells a sad SAD story... There used to be 2 of them, my favorite pair... But yesterday my lovely BAD, BAD dog tore 1 of them to pieces!! I'm so sad because I bought them in Thailand and they were kind of dear to me. Can any body tell me what this model of shoes is called, so I could find new ones online?<br />

As you know I got started on some African Flower Action and I'm totally loving it to pieces. I think this is the prettiest project I've ever started. I'm so in LOVE with it! I decided it's going to turn into a new sleeve for my Macbook, since that really needed replacement. And I also decided to make a tutorial for you on how to make one of your own.<br />

The colors inspired me to start something else too. I'm using one of my old patterns, the <a href="http://colorncream.blogspot.nl/2013/10/circle-in-square-tutorial-i.html" target="_blank">Circle Granny Square</a> (check out the tutorial). It's turning out quite lovely, if I say so myself. And our iPad needs a sleeve too, so I just keep on going while I'm at it. Some nice stuff for myself, to lift my spirits...</div>

I've been a bit confused these last few weeks. Although I really love crochet and love the blog and all that comes with it, I've had some doubts about quitting. Sometimes it's kind of overwhelming. The blog and my shop are always on my mind... I really needed to take things slow a bit.<br />
<br />

<br />
Naturally I get a lot of energy out of Color 'n Cream. I love to do crafts, not just crochet and I think I will be doing some more like sewing and crafting with felt or paper. I'm also a BIG button-lover... Maybe I just need a little variation. But I also need to spend time with my loved ones and really need to take better care of myself and relax more...<br />
<br />

<br />
Having said that, I do enjoy my new crochet project a lot. I love to make a new Color Bomb and am planning to make something for myself for a change. I really need a big bag to do my grocery shopping in style!<br />

So, now you know why it's been so quiet around here. Hopefully the wind has changed a bit. I think it has. And the weather is really going towards autumn, which I love, for crafting is so much more fun when it's cold outside, don't you think? I will keep you posted!<br />
<br />
Have an inspiring day!<br />

Don't know if you remember, but some time ago I showed you some pictures of an unfinished project and asked you if you knew what it would be. One of you guessed correctly. It turned into a lampshade. I finally finished it after having it laying around for 2 months...</div>

I like it. I made it with different yarn than I'm used to. It's all Cotton 8, from different brands though. IT's soft and lovely, but in my opinion splits easier than mercerized cotton.</div>

I also did some crafting this weekend, with my little one. She collected some lavender and we made little scented hearts. I used the idea from the lovely book <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/All-Sewn-Up-exquisite-embroidery/dp/1908170328" target="_blank">All Sewn Up</a>, from Chloe Owens. Very inspiring book and makes you happy just to look in it! I love the scented bags and think they will make a perfect holiday gift for the ladies... What do you think? Did any of you get started on the holiday presents yet??</div>

And this is what I'm working on now. Not sure yet what it'll turn into. Something for me! A bag maybe, or a cushion?? Any ideas??<br />
<br />
Have a lovely day!<br />

<br />
Now, draw a big circle on the paper and pin it to both pieces of fabric. Cut the fabric and pin together. Then sew the circle, but leave about 3 inches open, so you can fill it up later.<br />

Cut little triangles around the edge, so the cushion will shape better when filled. You should not forget this part! Then fold two times and mark the middle of both sides with a felt pen, so you know where to put the buttons at the end.<br />

Now, fill the cushion and close the whole by sewing it as shown in the pictures. (<a href="http://dobleufa.blogspot.com.ar/2012/05/almohadones-acolchados-tutorial.html" target="_blank">This</a> is a great tutorial on how to close a cushion, picture 12). See how easy this project is? You're half way already!<br />
Now use the same yarn as you want to use for the crochet edging. Do a blanket (Dutch Feston Steek) stitch all around the cushion. Make sure your piece of yarn is long enough. I use at least 3 times the outline of the cushion.<br />

<br />
Pictures 17 and 18 show you what to do if your yarn isn't long enough. Don't worry about the knot, you are going to crochet around it anyway. Then, make 3 single crochets in each stitch (if your stitches aren't that wide, make 2sc, no problem!). Join with a slip stitch.<br />
<br />

And now, *skip 1 stitch, 4 double crochets (US terms), skip 1 stitch, 1single crochet*.<br />

She makes the prettiest little paper mache figures. And as you can see, we like the same colors... I couldn't resist and bought one of her lovely pieces, a music box tree with a pretty bird on one of the branches.<br />

Here it is still standing on her market stand, but that didn't last long. As you can see in the next picture, it's now showing in my colorful home. It makes me happy every time I see it! And lucky me; she lives close to me and is going to teach me her methods!! I can't wait!<br />

Let me start this post with a very happy announcement: My first little nephew was born on the 2nd of september, Benjamin. Oh, how I love that name. He was 5 and a half weeks early but is doing very well. I didn't meet him yet, since I'm in bed with the flue, but I will soon. So exciting!<br />

But I also wanted to show you some of the goodies I brought with me from Sweden and Copenhagen today. I discovered a very very cool shop <a href="http://www.grenes.dk/" target="_blank">Søstrene Grene</a> in Copenhagen. I understand they sell all over the world and even in the Netherlands... They sell lots of lovely and also cheap stuff! Look at my pretty mugs and the lovely house boxes. I actually bought those from a new friend I made in Sweden. It's Tina from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/BlumeAndJensen" target="_blank">Blume & Jensen</a>. She is also a crochet (and knit) designer and was very friendly. She even sold me the boxes!!<br />

The drawing pad was also bought there, and the pretty ballerina skewers. As you can see, the rainbow raindrops were made into a little garland. How happy, don't you think?<br />

I also bought lots and lots of interior and craft magazines these last few days. I can't wait to start cutting and pasting the inspirational images in my big inspiration book. And I made another rainbow garland. A granny garland, which was very simple and a quick project.<br />

These are the fat quarters that are left over from the market. They will be for sale shortly in the Color 'n Cream shop and I think they will be part of the Give Away this month... I really got some great fabrics to share!<br />

I will tell you more about the lovely bird-in-a-tree soon. It was made by a lovely girl who I met in Sweden and happens to live very nearby me. I will love to share her work with you...<br />

As most of you know, I've been to the lovely Almhult in Sweden to attend the Crafty Almhult Market at last... Well, it's over already and I had a fabulous time! I just came home yesterday evening, so I'm still unpacking and checking out what I brought home with me... Yes, Scandinavia is a nice place for shopping...<br />
<br />

We started of sunny the first morning, but sadly, the sun left us after only a few hours. The weather stayed grey for the rest of the day and the next, but still the atmosphere was happy and fun. There were lots of other Dutch people (even more then Swedish) attending the market and lots of lovely products were sold. I must confess; I didn't take a lot of pictures (as always...), but I will share one of the lovely crafters in a post later this week that really blew my mind for it's loveliness.<br />

I really love this fabric from IKEA. It makes my colors pop out even more. I got lots of responses how my work was making people happy, like you guys always tell me and it was heart warming.<br />

<br />
The trip to Almhult went very well, even though I was a little nervous, for it was my first time traveling abroad all on my own. People in Copenhagen and Sweden were very helpful and public transportation was so well organized. The only thing was, my suitcase was heavier than heavy with all that cotton 'candy' inside.<br />

<br />
The landscape was unbelievably beautiful and I saw a fox and a deer on the first day. I love to see 'wild life', since in Holland it's very uncommon, at least where I live. I heard a moose too, but didn't get to find it. That would have been awesome!<br />

So, it's kind of a time consuming way of making confetti, but non the less, very durable and fun! Just think how lovely this luxury confetti would look on a pretty set party table, or coffee table. Or how it would brighten up your windowsill or just your pictures... This is how you make them. It's an easy and very small project.<br />
<br />

<br />
Just make a magic circle, chain 1 and make 7 single crochets (UK double crochet) in the ring.<br />

Use your scraps. I use mercerized cotton (also available in the<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ColornCream?section_id=15516608&ref=shopsection_leftnav_7" target="_blank"> Color 'n Cream Shop</a>) and a 3,5 mm hook. Once you've made the sc's, pull the beginning of your yarn to close the circle. Now cut the end of the yarn and pull it through.<br />
<br />

Now, look at the pictures closely how to join. If you do it this way, it's almost invisible where you've started.<br />

These last few days it's been all about preparing for the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/craftalmhult" target="_blank">Crafty Almhult Market</a>. I've been quite relaxed about it, to my own astonishment...</div>

Just a monday 'Hello!' from me to you and some eye-candy to brighten up your day. Do you see the lovely scissors with the little geisha on it? In pink and yellow no less, my favorite colors. This was a present from my man (he is starting to really know me!!) and I think it might be the best gift he EVER got me. Don't you love it?? Now I can cut my loose ends in style!<br />
<br />

And I just HAD to share these gorgeous Dahlia's with you. They are my favorite garden flower and mine (and my mom's) is full of them. The beauty of it is, I can just plant them again next year, with even better results, and I will get more new ones too, so my garden will be even fuller of this floral abundance. I cut them every day (the more you cut, the more you get) and have little vases with fresh lovelies everywhere!<br />

And these are some new potholders I designed to take with me to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/craftalmhult" target="_blank">Crafty Almhult Market</a>. I will take lots of goodies with me. Not only crochet, but also fat quarters, beads, buttons... Only 4 more days...<br />

Hello my sweets! How was your summer? Although technically, summer isn't over yet, it is here in the Netherlands... It's rainy, grey and cold. I LOVE it! I always enjoy the first days to wear socks and long sleeves again. Sure, a few more days of sun would have been nice, but I don't mind the fall coming early at all.<br />
<br />

I hope you all had a relaxing vacation and made some fun memories with your friends and families. I went camping with my girls and man. In a tent, just 45 minutes from home. We had so much fun! And even though we would only stay for 4 days, we prolonged it to 10 days, because it was so nice. I really needed to get away!</div>

And naturally I did some crafting during the holiday. I designed this doily for example. I've been wanting to do some black crochet en I really wanted to do a doily. Designing doilies is FUN FUN FUN, but I discovered, making tutorials on them is NOT! I'm still busy making the <a href="http://colorncream.blogspot.nl/2014/06/doily-love.html" target="_blank">Pink Doily Tutorial</a> and I'm not enjoying that at all. Hmmm, what to do, what to do??</div>

I have some fun stuff for you in store. There will be a free tutorial next week, on the confetti in the pic's. And in september there will be another double Give-Away since August wasn't so giving. Oh, and I have another Crochet Flower Coaster Pattern finished. I think that will be in the<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ColornCream" target="_blank"> Color 'n Cream Shop</a> at the end of this week. Ahhhh, I love to be back! I missed you guys!</div>

I will go on enjoying my spare time (and updating everything since I got quite far behind on the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ColornCream" target="_blank">Color 'n Cream Shop</a> and all my promised tutorials...). This is going to be my next tutorial. It's almost finished! I think it's my best Crochet Coaster Pattern yet!<br />
<br />
Have a lovely summer!<br />

This is my last post for the coming month. I will be taking my break now, of the blog at least. I need to catch up with a lot of work. There are many tutorials to be made, I have to update the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ColornCream" target="_blank">Color 'n Cream Shop</a>, I need to crochet lots of stuff for the Crafty Market in Almhult... Still busy, just off the radar for a while.<br />

<br />
I feel the need to do some other stuff too. Like this weekend, I worked on my inspiration pin board. I love the way it turned out, with all the pretty colors, pictures and post cards. It makes me happy just to look at it. Just as I intended!!<br />

But don't worry! I will announce the July Give-Away winner next week. You can also keep an eye on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ColornCream" target="_blank">Color 'n Cream Facebook</a>, since I will announce there when new patterns are available in the shop.<br />

Oh, and the shop will be open, but just for the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ColornCream?section_id=15460172&ref=shopsection_leftnav_7" target="_blank">Crochet Patterns</a>. The yarn and other items will be inactive since I just really need a vacation. I will be ordering yarn during the holiday though, and I hope to have it available for you afterwards. Exciting right? For me anyway...<br />

Talking about 'giving', all of you know by now that was my new year's resolution. I announced I would be donating 10% of every dollar spent in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ColornCream" target="_blank">Color 'n Cream Shop</a> to <a href="http://www.microkredietvoormoeders.org/nl/nlbijd/nlbijd.htm#1" target="_blank">Microckrediet voor Moeders</a>, an organization that lends microcredit to (single) mothers in Asia to help them provide for their families. I love this cause, because it's a gift that keeps on giving. The loan will be paid back, and the donated money can be used again for someone else. Anywho, I did my first donation yesterday, and MAN did that feel GOOD!!<br />

These are my Edition Paumes books. I'm sure most of you know them. They are the BEST books for inspiration EVER. I love to just go through them over and over and be inspired by all the colorful and original interior ideas. I have only 4 now, but am planning to get them all. Maybe for christmas...<br />

The rain has cleared and it's the sunniest day today. I just walked my dog and enjoyed the sun after all that water pouring out of the air. The plants really loved it though and I didn't have to water them. </div>
