Crochet Cacti

For weeks I had these cacti laying around on my craft table, because I couldn't find nice little pots for them, so in the end I made crocheted pots. Not what I had in mind, but doesn't look awful either.

    I adore your Cacti! Last year (oops, 2 years ago) when we went for our anniversary to Barcelona I ran into this wonderful craft community that made cacti in fabrics as pin cushions. They are so happy, these little colorful guys. Long story short, a template is on my blog now. And whenever I see fun diy cacti like this, I recall my happy memories of a really wonderful trip. ~ Rose

    These crochet cacti are so cute! I'm so jealous of people who can crochet like this. I learned how to crochet when I was younger, stopped for a long time, and now I can barely make a blanket. Woops! Anyways, love your work.

    Love these, thanks for sharing on craft schooling Sunday. So surprised you couldn't find any pots, even little tin buckets or votive holders of some kind could work for your next batch!

    Aww, those are so cute! Do you sell them anywhere? I love cactus plants but I cannot seem to keep them alive so crochet versions would be nice! :o)

Probably you remember the alpaca that I made a couple of weeks ago. A colleague was so enthusiastic about it that she asked me to make one for her, too, but in different colors. Of course I did. I brought it to her myself, mostly because she works in the hospital I worked until three months ago. I decided I wanted to work closer to home, but to be honest, I miss my old colleagues every day. A couple of times I was close to call my old hospital to ask if I could come back, but I'm still working at my job, because I think I must give it a chance. But now that there's a good reason to visit my old job and see my colleagues, I grab the chance. 
Anyway, here's another alpaca:

Next week my youngest daughter has her Birthday. She will be become nine years old and when I asked what she wants the most for her Birthday, she answered that she really wants to go to London for a couple of days, because she wants to see the Big Ben. Don't you love that?! I don't know how she got the idea, but I really like it. Making memories with the whole family is so much better than more and more and more stuff, just after Sinterklaas and Christmas. I don't even know what to give anymore. 
So, London it will be. But because we will not be in London yet on the Birthday itself, I want to give her a little present. The animal she likes the most at the moment is an alpaca, so I made one for her from the book Animal Friends of Pica Pau from Yan Schenkel. I also bought her a couple of books about London, to get in the mood.

For years I'm making a Mochila Bag every now and then, but a while ago I saw a book about fair isle crochet. It's the same technique that I use for the bags, but there were lots of other very nice projects in the book that you can make with this stitch. The most beautiful thing in the book is a large blanket, but knowing that I don't have the patience to ever finish a large project like that, I don't even think about making a start with it. Instead I chose to make a sack for one of my new plants.
