I have been busy.

So I've been busy making Easter branches. I've collected a few branches, let them dry out a week or two. Then I gave them two coats of (chalk) paint and stuck them in a vase.
I crocheted a veeeery long garland and decorated the branches. I thought it still was very bare, so I made BIG flowers to dangle from the branches as well and they look great (If I do say so myself)
Easter Branches


No more news on the Olympic front unfortunately. I am so eager to have more information, but nothing of it yet.

But  there is news on the crochet front.
I have made also two new Key Covers and three Birdhouses. This all for my shop.
People actually ask me to make more, so for now it is in stock.

I also sell the patterns at www.teenyweenydesign.etsy.com and for Dutch versions at www.pieterpeuter.nl  Copyright 2012
















Today I have the day off, but I am working the following days. I'm planning to bake cupcakes for work (since tomorrow is a bit of a festive day) and decorate them with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed yellow and green meringue.  I will post pictures when I have finished them.

...................................It is now two days later and I totally forgot to make pictures of the finished meringues. I can tell you everybody enjoyed them immensely though.

      Yeah, I already noticed that. It is perfect for showing items. Like a blank canvas.

  7. Hi,

    Sorry, not yet. I have the pattern in my head and I dread to write it down and make pictures(so much work). As soon as I
    Do so, however, I will think of you.

    Best wishes,
    Adrianne

    PS; If you like I can also make one in the exact colours you want.
    There are two left for sale in my webshop;

  8. Hi,

    Guess what! I have (nearly) finished the pattern of a birdhouse. It needs some more pictures but is already available in my webshop!! When you order you'll receive the pattern in a PDF file within 48 hours!
    Thought you'd like to know this!
    I started at 2 p.m. and it is now 11 pm! Phew! I have to go to bed, because I have to work tomorrow. But I'll finish the last details when I come home.
