summer flower shawl






i found the pattern for this shawl on http://pure-craft.blogspot.co.uk/  and really liked it, i made it with phildar cotton 3 and a 3 mm crochethook, it took me almost two weeks to finish, during this time i was off work so i had a little more time to crochet then usual, hope you like it (the girl in the bottom picture is my daughter who wanted to wear the shawl so i took her picture just for fun)

kind greetings, madelon

new kitchen new apron




due to all the work that has been done remodeling the kitchen in our house, i havent posted for a long time, but i found a really nice pattern for an apron in the simply crochet magazine ( the dutch version) that i wanted to make to go with the kitchen, first i sowed the apron out of gingham fabric, and then crochet the pockets, in dutch colours. My daughter wanted to be in the picture too, let me know what you think

kind greetings, Madelon

ps i might have to make some potholders too, maybe next time

rainbow bunting



befor i made the cupcake bunting i found this bunting on internet, via the tanggled happy blog, i think she posted a link to a blog called rainbow bunting, so i used all the leftovers i had and made granny triangles
when they were all finished i made a line with single crochet and crocheted them all together. In the pictures you can see them hanging in the living room, they have been hanging there since my birthday.
tell me what you think
greetings, madelon

Cupcake bunting



When i was on holiday we went to barneveld(the netherlands), and found a very cute yarn store, and there i bought a ready to go packet by restyle, which had the pattern and yarn already to go to crochet this bunting
hope you like it

kind greetings, madelon

pimp a denim jacket

My daughter of 3 was given a plain denim jacket, fine by me, but i thought it really needed some craftiness to make it a bit more girly and different.


i made the parrot badge i found in a book by Brenda Smits, and made some flowers in the same color combination. and used the sewing machine to sewthem onto the jacket. hope you like it, let me know
