Hi my dears,

It is a quite a long time, when I posted some owl desing. But please, don't think, that I didn't make any... Soooo here it is - new owl to our owls' collection :-)

Oooh, look who I found hidden in the snowdrops? What, little Penguin?! Isn't he late ? :-)

Well, just a little bit late. At the evening, it is a Spring outside, and when I woke up, it is Winter :-)

The pattern of this funny little boy is ready in my pattern store. 

Hi my dears,

I hope you enjoyed nice weekend - sweet Valentine. Love was everywhere, am I right? :-) Also my dear Egon - the lover - falled in love :-)

I said yes, of course. Because I love him ♥. 

I was busy like a bee. My hubby celebrated the Birthday, so I put my hook away and made some sweet cake and cupcakes filled with fererro rocher. I wanted to try it long time ago. Ooooh it was delicious :-)

Needed material:

• eyelash yarn - small piece

• 1 green button average 10 mm
• 2 black buttons average 20 mm
• thin wire (but it is not necessary, I wrote the variation without wire too)
• thin chenille wire
• toy filling
• scissors

• Mix of cotton and acrylic yarn, Stone washed by Scheepjes. Weight: Sport/ 5ply (12 wpi), Yardage: 130 m / 142 yds in (50g), Gauge: 24 stitches in 4 inch (10 cm). I used approximately 60 g/170 yds of yarn totally

Dimension of finished project: 25 cm /9,8 inch tall x 13 cm/ 5.1 inch width.

Hi my dears,

how are you? Well, I feel a little better, after my repeated "awaking" in January. Thank you so much for your support, my dears. This means so much for me. I read every single word, you wrote me, very carefully and it helped me a lot. You are my shining stars! Thank you again! ♥

Today, I am writing one of my favorite posts - my Valentine's gift for you :-) Free tutorial for making these sweet strawberry appliques :-) I wrote this strawberry applique pattern in February 2011. OMG! The time is flying so fast! I hidden it long time ago, because I would like to write the instruction better, but still I hadn't time for doing it, you know. And now, I just took a hook and crochet it. It's time just came. I changed the design of course, as always, when I am writing some pattern updates. But I hope, you will like it as well.

Sweet Strawberry

 The crochet pattern of this colorful tree flied out into the world again :-)
