Hi, my dears,
any new creations on your hooks? I was swamped the last two weeks at my regular full-time job. Did I already tell you? It has been two and half years since I started to work for Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech. I am responsible for the company catering - 2600 boarders daily, six canteens and so much work. But you know, I like the challenges, at least that's what I said in the interview :-). It is a good job, but you know it is soooo far from my little magical world. I miss the energy, that is flowing when you are creating something with your own hands, the quiet but exciting time with my own creativity. The moments with hook and yarn in my hands are much rarer for me now. But do you know what? I finished two of my older patterns :-)
One of them is a little angel.
And the second one.... ? You will find it in my next post :-)
Second Advent Sunday. I wish you to spend it in peace, my dears ♥
Advent time... The magic of Christmas time.
However, for many people, this is the season of the hustle and bustle and the hunt for Christmas presents, in which we often want to atone for not having enough time for our loved ones all year. Or perhaps they ponder the sincerity of feelings, love, and the true value of friendship and family. And maybe they're even sad because their relationships and lives aren't what they'd expected. I am sorry, that it sounds harsh, but it is true, right? All these feelings are inside me too. But do you know what? Every one of us could change it. This year, I am intensively working on it. I am trying to change my mindset, heal my old wounds, and rewrite my unhealthy patterns. If anybody needs to read it today: I know it's hard, and it seems impossible. But that doesn't mean you give up. Remember, every little step counts. Keep going and be kind to yourself.
I know this is not a common Christmas post :-). Don't get me wrong. I love Christmas. I have always loved this magical time. I always tried to make it magical, even though it was really hard sometimes. And at the end of all those hectic days, to make everyone happy, my reward was this... Lying on the ground with her, listening to her heartbeat and feeling her warmth. I miss my darling honey little girl so much, especially these days. So there I am in my thoughts. With her.
In some of my latest posts, I wrote, that I would like to finish some of my frogged projects and patterns. Well, I am on the way.... but it is another story. Don´t miss my next post. :-)
Today, my dears, I only would like to wish you a wonderful advent time. I wish you with the first burning candle, that you feel peace, and a little bit of Christmas magic. And if you would like to wish to crochet some Christmas house ornament, the pattern is alive :-).
XOXOHi, my dears,
so it is here - the cyber week!
If you like my patterns, now is the right time for buying some. Today started a cyber week in my Etsy pattern store. You can choose from 130 patterns and get a 20% sale on every single one of them :-) I did not put any price limit or no code.
Happy shopping :-)
So my dears,
seven weeks only and it is here - the Christmas. I was going through my creations and realized that I have plenty of designs to embellish and enjoy this magical time. But do you know? It is still not enough :-)
Several years ago I frogged some of my Christmas projects. I guess, it is time to bite that sour apple, as my mother-in-law says :-), and finish them. So my goal is to finish one of them every week. What do you think, will I fulfill my goal successfully? To tell you the truth, I am really looking forward to doing it. This would be a challenge. :-)
Meanwhile, you can remember my older Christmas designs.
For some of them, I wrote the pattern, which you will find on my Etsy pattern store
Some of them are free patterns
And some of them are waiting to be written down :-)
I sent the colorful pumpkin greetings for all fall lovers
- Take needles and some scrap of yarn and make just a purl stitch on both sides. You get the rectangle, (the size is totally up to you).
- Then sew the last and first row together, sew the lower hole, fill it with fiberfill and then sew the upper hole.
- And now, my very favorite recommendation, which you know from my patterns very well: "Shape it nicely"
- Then a hook comes to the scene! Make a stem - using CHain string and 1 SlSt in every stitch from the first row. And then make some leaves (spiralsú using a CHain string with 1SC across in the next row. Shape it nicely and sew them to the pumpkin. And that's it.
Hi, my dears,
I like that.
The smell of an Autumn morning.
The sun woke up between the clouds.
Pumpkins everywhere.
That feeling of All Hallows' Eve coming up.
The candles burning in the dark, the memories of the light of the souls of those who live beyond the rainbow bridge.
My magical forest, colored with all its colors.
My sad little hook that hasn't made a new creation with me in months.
So I broke the circle, picked a hook up, and created something ...
Click here or there, but end at www.vendulkam.etsy.com for the patterns :-)
Be spooky :) XOXO
