Crochet Mittens

It doesn't snow that much here in West Germany but it can get really windy and cold. Especially when I'm riding my bike! No worries now, my mittens are finally ready. Yeeee!

Let me tell you that I started from really basic skills and with the help of this YouTube tutorial I made my pretty mittens :D I'm so so proud! I didn't use the measurements in the video, I kept working, trying out, undoing till it fit!


I used:
Medium weight wool
Crochet hook no. 2
Yolanda's Soto-Lopez YouTube tutorial 

DIY Knot Necklace

I know I might be a bit late on this topic. I made this necklace in Spring and wear it all Summer long. It was a very simple and quick thing to do but of a big impact. With no shame I must say it gather quite some compliments :)


You need:
40 cm curtain tieback coard
round crimp with lobster connector
hot glue gun or super glue


I used the Cloud Knot video below from TIAT. Check also his amazing YouTube collection of all the imaginable and unimaginable types of knots and coards, for sure you'll find something on your taste.

Let me know if you liked this or you found this information useful.

I managed to get some things done: the postcards - usually the most fun part but the most messy one, cleaning, landlords visits, baking a cake (mix of Sachertorte and Death by chocolate - results?! for sure it looks yummy) and of course the not so fun part of cleaning again the kitchen after baking a chocolate cake. For sure I need to better plan my work flow :/

As I'm in Germany and every Holiday is holy all shops were close today. So I will have to leave the eggs colouring for tomorrow morning as I had no paint. Maybe that's good otherwise I wouldn't have time to write this post...Oh was that positive thinking? OMG I'm making progresses

Easter fever

As it wouldn't be enough to be sick, I also have a loooong to do list to finish before even start thinking of Easter! Each at it's time. First a handkerchief, than a ginger tee snuggling under the covers and so on...

New challenges

Instagram

Actually the message I posted yesterday was for myself. I am going through a challenging period right now but I am hoping things will get better soon! I just needed some encouraging/ inspiration.  I was like a battle cry, because I will overcome this, I will fight!

I am not capable to share my worries here but I will share I my fight! It isn't as dramatic as it might sound but for sure it will not be easy for me. To cut the long story short, I am engaging in a weekly DIY project. The internet is nowadays an unlimited source of inspiration, so there is no excuse for me. I will collect cool ideas on my Pinterest board and also post my own creations. I have to do something new every week: take pictures, build a collection, post details about process, costs...

Oh, I wanted to do this for such a long time...
