Luisa Elephant




From the book Animal Friends of Pica Pau 2 I made the elephant this week. The original wears trousers and a hat, but I gave Luisa a skirt and a hair flower.
I made her for a four year old who loves elephants, so I hope she will live happily ever after with Luisa!

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

Crocheted Scrunchies

Image
My daughter asked me to crochet some scrunchies for her. Not that much work, I thought, so one evening, after she went to bed, I started crocheting. Turned out next morning that the scrunchies that I made weren't exactly the ones she had in mind. She meant scrunchies like the fabric ones: a tunnel with a piece of elastic in it. Luckily she liked mine much better, so I got away well. Not sure if they will be in use as hair bands or bracelets, though. Teenagers think in mysterious ways, aren't they? How I made them: Round 1: 40 sc around a regular hair elastic, close with a slip stitch in the first sc (40) 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) 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) Round 4: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in every dc of

Crocheted Lamp Shades

Image
It's been two years ago already since we bought our fixer upper. We like to do everything on our own, my husband doing the renovations and me doing all painting jobs, decorations and such. Things go slow, but steady. My husband is building a large barn like shed at the moment, so he has more work room and, even better, sawing and milling doesn't have to be done in our house anymore. No more sawdust everywhere, even weeks after sawing. Can't wait!  The latest things I myself was busy with were lamp shades. I made these two for our dining room. You can purchase all supplies as a complete package and can choose from different colors and different labels to completely finish the lamps . I chose this cat, because she looks totally like our own cat Dolly.     Pattern and Yarn:   Chandelier Marrakech C Complete package with all supplies by Haak maar aan bij Sas   ~*~  My Fuzzy Frog was featured by Oombawka Design !
