Birthday Bunting

This weekend my eye fell on this crochet bunting. It is inspired on a baby blanket seen in the BBC series 'Call the Midwife'. The midwives do a lot of crochet in the series, but that's not why it's one of my favorite shows. I just love the clothes they wear! My favorite midwife is Trixie. Yours?

Anyway, this bunting came just in time for my daughter's birthday! In flamingo colors, as you've might expect.


 

You can find the pattern here.

    I love Call The Midwife, too. I've always thought I related most to Sister Evangeline, played by Pam Ferris. Oh my goodness...I just came across this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EudE6Ln8C9w Pam Ferris and I have basically the same hairstyle! lol I love this woman! Not because of her hairstyle ;^), but because she appears to be an all around beautiful, caring woman.

      Hahaha, I have a couple of unfinished blankets in cupboards, too! I'm really not good at finishing large projects. I just don't have enough patience for it.

    Such a vibrant, happy colour palette! I adore Call the Midwife, too. I watch it on Netflix and have rationed them out since day one. I'll treat myself to an episode if I've had an especially rough week and/or are feeling extra unwell. It's one of my favourite period dramas ever!

    Big hugs & many thanks for your wonderfully nice blog comment today,

    Gorgeous bunting. I do like Call the Midwife but, unfortunately I have never watched enough of them to know who is who!

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)

 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) Chang...

Made It #12

~ I love Pinterest and would like to make one thing every week that I find on Pinterest. Since I have lots of pins (that, until now, I've just pinned and only that), I hope this will be a way to reduce the amount of pins on my boards . It can be anything, from cooking to crochet and from sewing to paper crafts. Just small projects that don't take weeks to make ~  Last week I told you about the Haasje look-a-like mug cozy I planned to make for Easter. Haasje, our Flemish Giant is my youngest daughter's bunny, so of course she wanted the mug cozy. I had to make it brown, though, just like Haasje.   www.betweennapsontheporch.net   ~*~ My oldest daughter has a cat, Dolly (yes, named after Dolly Parton, I'm a fan) and after making the bunny mug cozy above for my youngest, I remembered just in time a crochet cat I had pinned a while ago, because she really wants it. It's from Dr Seuss ( pattern here ). See you next week, together with the ca...
