Chill & Chunky Blanket

 One of my friends asked me to crochet a little baby blanket that she wants to give as a baby present to someone else. I showed her two pictues of blankets I made recently to choose from, but she wasn't sure which one she liked the most. I offered to crochet both blankets for her so she could see them for real to make the choosing easier. The one she doesn't choose I can give to one of my expecting colleagues. Here's the first blanket.


 

I made this blanket two times before in mint and dusky pink (see here and here). This one is in baby pink with an ecru edge.  

 

Pattern: Chill & Chunky Blanket from KOEL Magazine Issue #6

Yarn: Julia Baby Pink by Zeeman

    Good idea about making two blankets. I'm sure she will love them both. #HomeMattersParty

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...

Lunch Bag made of Soft Jaguar Pluche

Image
Today was a very good day as regards the mail! My mailbox contained: 1 . In the first place: a postcard from a good friend. And since most people send messages by e-mail, I like it when I get some real post! 2.      Fabrics!   Because you know how it is: now that I have to work on party stuff for the upcoming birthday, the only things I feel like making are things that are not really necessary at the moment and don’t have anything to do with party things at all. So I ordered some fabrics. And so I made the bag today that’s already waiting for months to be made and wouldn’t have mind if it had to wait another month to be made.  It's made of jaguar pluche and pink cotton  and is lined with dotted cotton.  It has a cover inside made of the same dotted cotton. The tutorial for this little bag I found at a blog called Pink Penguin . Very nice tutorial with a lot of pictures to make it even easier to make! www....

The Twirl Factor

Image
Month after month I was addicted to crochet, but this week I rediscovered sewing. The craving for sewing comes when I find a beautiful fabric that I must have or when I see a really nice pattern. This week I saw both, so I started sewing two different dresses. The first one I show you now, the second one is minutes from being finished and will be shown later this week. I used about 3x1½ meters of fabrics for this double dress (will be worn by a two year old), which has a major twirl factor. I love the combination of colors of this fabric: pink, fuchsia, red, orange, lime, aqua and black. And for the readers who follow this blog because of the crochet projects: I’m still not bored with crochet, there’s even a project on the way that involves both crochet and sewing, so don’t drop out yet J . ~*~ I saw two movies this weekend that I can recommend, though both are not entirely new (in fact they are rather old; 2007 and 2008). Jolene – to be true, as a Doll...
