Monday Chit Chat


Yes, I did some more rainbow doily crochet. This one I like much better! I designed it saturday, when I sat next to my little sick ckicky all day. (Yes, sick AGAIN). I love this and you?


I have a million things to do, but I just can't help myself. Sometimes I just need to design something new. Although I can think of lots of 'better' things to do, I cannot imagine anything BETTER than THIS...


I had to make some more Crochet Coasters for the Sunday Market next sunday. They tend to keep making me happy, because they're so pretty. And I always feel like making more in different colors.


I just made my first post for the Craft Cafe, a series on the lovely Heart Handmade UK blog that I contribute to. You'll have to be patient, since it's going to be published in August... But I will let you know by then.


Well, a short one this monday. It was so stormy and rainy today, but now the sun is shining! Oh how I love Summer!! Have a hooky day!

    1. Yes, it is better. It's the purple. I always struggle with purple. That's why I almost never use it... Have fun! I'm totally relaxed now btw.

    2. I have made my sample from looking at your photo, will blog it today.
      Something odd with my colors, but just had to try it.
      Will work perfectly outside in someones garden
      or in a small cabin for kids.
      Place it on a small table and put a vase of wild flowers on it.
      Would make a great photo by the way ;o)
      Have a nice day.

  3. I think it's the pointy edges which make this doily look so appealing - though I did like the other one too! I do love the aqua points against the purple!

  6. You are a color genius, and my crochet hero! I WILL be buying patterns in a few days! Can't get enough just by looking at pics of all the amazing colors and creations! I need to make these lovely ideas of yours!! I, by the way, have a situation where my 13 year old daughter and her friends keep setting beverages on precious, real, unpainted, (only stained) wood tables! They are ruining them. I want to protect them with doilies and coasters made from the patterns in your shop. ��

    1. I usually can live without purple and even green, but it does feel nice and complete like this. That's true!
