    Completely love it! I have a couple of peacock brooches already, but I wouldn't say no to this beauty either.

    This reminds me, have I ever told you about the three local peacocks here? In a neighbouring community called Naramata (it's about 15 minutes from our town) there are three peacocks who roam the streets there. No one seems to know exactly where they came from (they're not native to the area), but amazingly they've survived the traffic and weather for a few years now and are so fun to spot every now and then if you're out that (I'll never forget the first time one crossed in front of us on the road, as we didn't know the area had peacocks).

      Thanks again, Jessica!

      No, you didn't tell me the story of the peacocks. So nice to just drive through the streets and then see those beautiful, beautiful birds. Would make my day! I don't know what's the native region of peacocks either. They look pretty exotic. Maybe somewhere in the tropics. Let's google it, haha!
      Have a great Easter weekend, Jessica! Talk to you soon!

      Peacocks come from South Asia originally, I just read :-) ...

Bare Foot Sandals

Image
In just a couple of days we will take off to Sicily. I hope temperatures will be a bit better than here, because it's rather cold around here. When summer approaches I always feel like making hippie-like clothes (very convenient when you like to crochet). Today I made bare foot sandals, so hope there will be at least one day we can go to the beach. Update: for you people who were expecting to see a picture of bare feet and crocheted sandals, I hope you weren't that disappointed. A couple of days before we left for Sicily my laptop broke down, so I couldn't post pictures, text, nothing. Hope you're still with me, because today, tadaaaaah, I'm back in business! With the picture! www.betweennapsontheporch.net ~*~ My Triangle Shawl was featured by Oombawka Design ! Thank you so much, Rhondda!

Crochet Bag

After making this little lunch bag for me, my oldest daughter wanted a bag of her own of course. I had some pink polkadot left over after making the lunch bag and with some yarn, a crochet hook and a sewing machine I created this little bag for her: Bag closed with drawstring Bag open Bottom For who wants a pattern of the triangle grannies: I used the same pattern that I used for this bunting (with tutorial)! www.betweennapsontheporch.net

Plague Doctor (free pattern)

Image
  In the last months I saw him on social media regularly: the Plague Doctor, often accompanied by the words 'Wash Your Hands'. I doubt that plague doctors ever said that, because in their time running water wasn't available for everyone. Besides: people didn't know about bacteria and viruses back in the days, so washing your hands wasn't common use.  People knew you could get sick by having contact with another sick person, though. The plague doctor wore a leather gown, a mask with glass sight holes and a beak that was stuffed with flowers and herbs to hide the stench of reeking wounds, all to protect him from contamination by sick people.The long stick was for poking people to see if they had the plague and if they were still alive. In a way his gear looks like what we are still wearing nowadays when we have contact with people that are infected by dangerous contagious diseases. In my hospital we wear protecting gowns, special masks and goggles and glo...
