Strawberries!

After months of crocheting, I am now more in the mood for sewing. I have two larger projects on the sewing table that I will finish soon and will show you here (skirt and top), and I'm still busy crocheting a baby blanket that turns out to take infinite time, but inbetween I made this little skirt for my youngest daughter, so I  still have the satisfaction of a Finished Project:

 

The blue fabric has tiny strawberries on it. Love that!

I Got Stripes

After crocheting a Summer Skirt for my oldest daughter, my youngest wanted a skirt, too, of course, so I started to crochet again, with this as a result:

Wrap Bolero

About a month ago I got a bag full of fabric from a colleague and I already made two raglan shirts from the knits that were in it: 



This week I made this little sort of Wrap Bolero. You can wrap the fronts around the waste and tie the laces together on the back.

Crochet Name & Age Garland

I already told you about the upcoming birthday, that's still a long time away (in august), but that I already made invitations and a party garland for. Now here's more garland for the party:

Name & Age Garland Crochet


Meaning (yes, you guessed right): Yara 6 years. Yara is the name of my daughter.
It's made of crochet squares in single crochets. The characters that form my daughters name and age are made in cross stitch (click picture to enlarge for a better view).
