Hi there, I was quite quiet, don't you think? Yes I was, because I was very busy, with no time for writting a blog and crocheting as well. I am still busy, but I miss my beloved activities very much, so now the quiet is over! I miss a summer as well, the autumn is definitely coming - so I decided to make an autumn time a little bit nicer for me. I was thinking about autumn colors and created new collection. I smuggled rapsberry color there LOL - although the end of the summer is, we still have raspberries on our garden. So I could use raspberry color in autumn collection with permission of the nature :-)
So here it is - my new Autumn collection - part I
Owl coaster
Among my beloved things belong crocheting, coffee and owls and when I join everything together then crochet owl coaster arises :-)
Owl hanging ornament
The patterns for crochet owl coaster and crochet owl ornament are already ready :-)

Are you curious on Autumn color's study part II? It will come soon ..

Hi there ,
sometimes, you wrote me, that when you would like to open some of my free pdf crochet patterns - that it says to you, that the file could not be opened... well - I think that it is something what I can not able to know why it is happening... so I made a big decission :-) and I decided to write my free patterns directly on the blog and to pdf's files too :-).. What do you think about it?
And what about to begin right now? With hmmm ...... Flower
Applique ?
OK, let's begin :-) Make a cup of coffee or tea, take a hook 3 mm and some rest of 100% cotton, 5 ply weight yarn, maybe you find some buttons and I know, that you find some beads in your sewing's suitcase too :-)
I choosed the colors of chakras: 115 red, 281 orange, 208 yellow, 205 green, 165 light blue, 124 indigo blue, 113 violet and 114 cyklamen

Round 1: 3 CH as a first DC, 10 DC, join first DC with 1 SlSt (11 DC)
Round 2: 3 CH as a first DC, 1 DC in next stitch, 2 DC in every other stitch from previous round, join first DC with 1 SlSt (20 DC), end the work.

Fasten off free threads and sew the petals to the centre of the flower. You will sew on backside of the flower. There is a backside view on the pictures below.
Then embellish the applique by the beads, spangles and button following your imagination.

Here is some inspiration. These hats were handmade by my in 2011 most of all. I just love the flowers :-)
I felt a little bit nervous today so I took a hook and made some owls - just for calming down.... :-) These three small owl friends are looking at me and I feel much better now :-) And what about you, helps you the crocheting to calming down too?
My new purse with small hearts
I used two threads of the yarn, gently colors ... I really enjoyed to made it :-) I know, I promised to write some patterns, I have already wrote them - only translating is waiting on me .... but you know, when you have luck and you have an idea - you just have to take a hook and make it right now, because sometimes...and it happens... the idea will disappear like a soap bubble.. :-)
