Side Table

Since we are busy renovating our house (which takes lots of time because my husband wants to do everything by himself and he only has the weekends to work on it), we have to rearrange furniture from time to time. Instead of a large corner couch we now have two separate couches along two walls. I don't want empty corners that are just gathering dust (as is the case in empty corners in my house, ahum), so from an old bar stool frame and a table top that my husband sawed for me, I made a small side table to fill the space.

In the back you see one of the finished book shelves. My husband made a room en suite: on both sides of two sliding paneled doors with leaded glass we have two book shelves from floor to ceiling. The room en suite will become my craft space. Yes!

    Here from the link up! I love that you thought of cutting the legs of the stool! I too don't like having empty corners so we have something (to dust weekly) at every corner of our house. LOL

    I love those bookcases! You've got to highlight those!

    I also love that you're moving things around to make it more cozy and livable while it's a little chaotic. I never do that. I just live among the chaos and lament about it. I'll have to try making the most of it next time.

    Thanks for linking up with Oh My Heartsie Girls this week. I hope we see you again on Wednesday :)

      The table was placed before the bookcases just before the picture, to have a nice background. Normally the cases are in sight, because I think books and bookcases are the best decoration in a house.

      Thanks for visiting and leaving this nice comment! See you next week!

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

Christmas Scrunchies (free pattern)

Image
 Of all the things I made this year, Crocheted Scrunchie s were the biggest hit. My daughter wears them all the time, in her hair and/or on her arm, so I thought Christmas Scrunchies would be nice, too.  I'm happy to say my duaghter thinks this Christmas variety 'is just as great as the regular, no mom, even better'!  My daughter is thirteen now, so I'm wondering if it will last very much longer, that enthusiasm over mom made things, but I hope it does, because I really enjoy making things for my daughters.   How I made them: Round 1: 40 dc around a regular hair elastic, close with a slip stitch in the first sc (40) Change color Round 2: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 3 dc in every sc of the previous round, close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (120) Change color Round 3: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in every dc of the previous round,close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (240) Change c

Crocheted Scrunchies

Image
My daughter asked me to crochet some scrunchies for her. Not that much work, I thought, so one evening, after she went to bed, I started crocheting. Turned out next morning that the scrunchies that I made weren't exactly the ones she had in mind. She meant scrunchies like the fabric ones: a tunnel with a piece of elastic in it. Luckily she liked mine much better, so I got away well. Not sure if they will be in use as hair bands or bracelets, though. Teenagers think in mysterious ways, aren't they? How I made them: Round 1: 40 sc around a regular hair elastic, close with a slip stitch in the first sc (40) Round 2: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 3 dc in every sc of the previous round, close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (120) Round 3: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in every dc of the previous round,close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (240) Round 4: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in every dc of
