Golden Hearts

Great way to embellish a one color shirt: make elbow patches with textile paint!


I found this idea at Put A Bird On It

~*~

We had great weather this weekend and went out for lunch in the countryside, so I could take some really nice spring pictures.

    Like the embellishment to the shirt, so many different directions you could go with this. I also loved seeing the wildlife, especially the chickens.

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) Change c

More Potholders

Image
Just a small project: potholders! Because the other day I found an adorable butterfly hook in one of my favorites stores: Flying Tiger . Perfect to hang potholders from. And since one can never have too much potholders....   www.betweennapsontheporch.net ~*~ Speaking of butterflies: how do you find my new artwork, made by Jacko de Kroon? The antique glass-bell is about fifty centimeters high and it's filled with three butterflies, called Papilio lorquianus. I just love it and can't stop looking at it.  ~*~
