Crochet Tea Light Holder

The ones who read my blog for a while now, know I really don't have the patience for projects that go on and on and take months, even years to finish. So the one below, is just the one for me. Took me less than an hour to make it!

    Liz, that is so cute! I just had to stop by and tell you that I saw some crocheted cacti in a trendy stationery store here this morning. They were about the size of a quails egg, in a tiny plastic pot, and they were $16!!! I'm sure you did some crocheted cacti recently...maybe you need to go into business...lol! Love, Mimi xxx

      Yes, you're right, haha, I did (http://howling-liz.blogspot.nl/2015/07/crochet-cacti.html)!

      I thought about being in business, but I abandoned the idea when I thought about how I have to make the same thing over and over. I guess it's the turning of an idea in my head into a creation that I like the most.

    That's a lovely idea. I also have to stick to quick projects or I never finish them. I have a pile to prove it ;)

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...

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...
