Bea Jumper

Now that Leoni is back to school, I get actually some sewing done. Here's a Bea jumper made from Hilco's Zottelchen and some pink fleece.

 Pattern YORIK in blue fleece and nicky velour, size 86/92.

Crochet flowers

A while ago I posted about some crochet flowers I came across on another blog, which I really loved. Thankfully, this lady has written an ebook on how to make them!! And this is what I've been doing at night while watching the TV:

Crocheting is very addictive!

Silverlake

Before we went on holiday I started on a new boys jacket. Did I mention that I have to stock up on boys clothes? Well, this is the second piece. It is the Silverlake jacket from the book Sewing Clothes Kids Love. Initially I wanted to make it with buttons, but only found out AFTER I'd cut out the pieces, that the pattern as it is, is made for inserting zips. So my two front pieces weren't wide enough, haha. I know, I should think these things through before starting to cut out. Will keep it in mind for future projects. (although I know that I will forget it again:-) Made from Hilco's Pueril , lined with dark blue baby cord and embellished with Outer Space ribbon.

We are back from our holiday in Gran Canaria and we all really enjoyed it. The weather was great, Leoni had a fantastic time as our hotel had a kids club and we had plenty of time to relax. It went too quickly though if you ask me :-)

The summer holidays have started and I will now take a break from blogging for a while. See you all in a few weeks.

Crochet

I came across these lovely crochet flowers on one of the blogs I follow and was fascinated by them. The colours go so well together and every flower looks different and absolutely lovely. I've never crocheted before except the mandatory oven gloves I had to do at school, so I thought I'd give it a try. I ordered some books of Amazon and had a go at different designs:

Nothing compared to those on her blog, I know, and not the most vibrant colours on earth, but I'm still trying...:-)
