Crochet Birthday Crown

After sewing a Birthday Dress I also made a matching crown. It's not made of felt, like the other crowns (here and here) I made before, but I crocheted it and embellished it with rhinestones and glitter. Almost ready for the party now!

    Okay, how did you do it? Is it Filet? Whatever it is, it is adorable?

    Is it made so you can make it larger for each brthday and change the number?

      Hi Paula! I used a shelf edge pattern and stitched felt behind it. The crown itself measures about half of the head, the other half is made of elastic. I use it for just one birthday and will make another one next year (because I love to make things for my daughters's birthdays).

      I didn't have a real pattern for it, but used a pattern for a crocheted edge for cupboards . I crocheted about 25 cm and for the part on the back of the head I used elastic, so the crown wouldn't be to tight. After that I embellished the crown with rhinestones. To solidify the crown, I put felt at the back.

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...
