And The Winner Is...

First of all, thanks for all the big compliments on the Flower Coaster Pattern. It's very uplifting to read all those nice comments and to see my pattern being so well received. Makes it all worth it! Because I had so many comments on this give-away and because I was one give-away short in february, I decided to give away two Flower Coaster Patterns today. The funny thing is, both my girls picked a name from a bowl and both of them picked a Kelly. So it's KELLY and KELLY PATRICK. Congratulations!! I will email you guys the PDF Pattern and hope you enjoy it.

For the ones that entered but didn't win; you can buy the Flower Coaster Pattern here. And remember, this is my first PDF tutorial, so if you have suggestions or complaints, please let me know.

I've been busy working on some new coasters. This pattern will probably be available in april. How do you like it? It's nice and firm and I love all the flower petals.

Got real far on the squares from this weekend. Actually the crochet is done, just need to sew some fabric on to make it a cushion cover. I really like the results. I'll show you soon (probably wednesday).

I had a lovely weekend, and it didn't rain as much as 'they' predicted. It was quite sunny actually. And I had a great time with my girls and without my man for a change. I had fun, but am glad it was only for the weekend. It does always feel a bit incomplete...

Well, I'll keep you posted on the progress. Have a passionate day!

Weekend Fun

So, this is the project I'll be filling my time with this weekend. My man is out and I will be having lots of alone time to maybe even finish this... Do you like the square? And what will you be doing this weekend?Any fun projects?

Have a happy weekend!

Rainbow Heaven

First of all, I wanted to thank you all for the appreciation I got for the Flower Coaster Pattern and the Give-Away of that pattern. It was very overwhelming. It's great that everybody is so enthusiastic about it and I wanted to thank you all for the nice comments, emails and all the purchases. You guys make this all so much FUN!!!

As you can see, I've been busy. Every once in a while, as many of you know, I make a pair of these Flower Potholders (you can find the tutorial here). I can't tell you how happy I got when making these... The rainbow has an effect on me. Of course the potholders are for sale in my shop. And they will be one of a kind, too.

And I've also been experimenting a little. Making new coasters, squares and just trying light color combinations. Oh, how I love to be so lucky!

Have a positive day! 

BTW. Lots of you ask me questions about the yarn I use. You can find the word YARN in my sidebar under the name LABELS. This is the link. Hope it helps.

Finally!! And A Give-Away

So, I know I kept you waiting for quite a while... But it's finally here! The Flower Coaster Tutorial. And remember it's my first, so if there are any suggestions on how to make it better, please email me.

It's been lots of work, but especially because it was my first time to make a tutorial in Adobe Illustrator. I had to figure out lots of stuff, and make lots and lots of pictures. O, yeah, and I made a chart pattern in Crochet Charts. That's great software if you want to start making your own charts. And it can be used on an Apple, so that's important!

Not only is the Flower Coaster Tutorial for sale in my Etsy shop, I will also give one away for free. So if you want to join in this Give-Away, leave a comment below and make sure it is possible for me to contact you. I will announce the winner on monday the 24th of March.

Have a hooky day!

 

On A Roll

I'm on a ROLL people! I'm filling up my Etsy shop with all these pretty new (and some old) items and it's making me so happy!! Doesn't it look pretty and sunny??

I'm learning more and more how to edit my photo's and I'm quite proud of the results. It's so great to notice I'm evolving this skill and enjoying it at the same time!

The DIY Patchwork Kit is to be found here. I'm happy to use all my different pieces of fabric. And they go great together don't you think?

Apart from all of this I'm grateful for all the sunny days we've been having. And on top of that it inspired me to start doing yoga again. Now I've started I can't remember why I ever quit before... It's so relaxing!

Some of you might think I forgot all about my resolutions this year... You know, the giving. Well, I didn't. I know I skipped February, but I'll make it up to you. I feel a Give-Away coming up... (Or maybe even 2)

Well enjoy the sun and don't forget to wear sunscreen! (Such a great song to uplift the day...)
