Powder Pastels

New, small crochet project in the making:
a granny stripes cushion (probably).
Vaguely inspired by the pastel crockery.

It's a serious case of procrastination (again).
Should be finishing two crochet throws
- or rather: do some serious work-work instead.

Outside - Inside


Just two weeks ago we were swimming in the sea under a perfect blue sky.
(Quite unexpectedly, because we didn't have much of a summer here.)
And now, suddenly, it's autumn. Very much so.
Rain is pooring down day after day, it's cold, it's windy and, I must say:
It does have it own charm!

So, instead of sulking about a summer that never really started,
(except for that one day)
let's embrace autumn, with it's own happiness.
Blend in some seventies styling for the ultimate autumn feeling.

Snuggle under your handmade crochet throw, with a good book.
The cat purring next to you.

You might even start purring yourself.

Kidney Beans Brighten Up Any Teatime

Q: 'Where do you, as a vegan, get your proteins?'
A: 'Why - brownies of course.'





















With these brownies this conversations can become reality.
Main ingredient: kidney beans. Love it!

Fluttering Thoughts

Of course - I know it's kitsch.
But for 50 cents I couldn't resist this sweet little bird at the thriftshop...

It's nice enough to give a little kitsch bird a new home,
but real birds are the ones that really need our protection.
Today the Dutch queen wore a hat made of feathers...
Many birds died for that silly hat.

Round & round & round

ByHaafner, crochet, round, doily, pastel




















Not sure yet if this is finished yet, I'm tempted to make it bigger.
And what to use it for? A cushion, a doily?

I'm not following any pattern.
I started it with the idea of making (another?!) potholder.
