I cannot remember how often I have stood in my bathroom in the evening ready to remove my make-up just to find that I … AGAIN… had forgotten to buy more cotton pads!?
I write this in past tense, because I have replaced them with my own crocheted ones – YAY!!
No doubt the weather at the moment is a key inspiration for my projects!?
Being a huge fan of all colours I have never understood why we in these dark months dress to match! Granted I too own a black winter coat.
That is also why I love making Winter accessorizes with either a little bit of sparkle or in some bright colours, and now is definitely the time for crocheted hats.

The past couple of months I have focused on finalizing what I call my “Warm & Woolly” collection – I still have a few more to go, but the crochet patterns available at the moment should keep your legs, hands and ears warm during Autumn/Winter.
Todays post is all about a quick and fun project, so you can spice up your flip flops.
What you need:
A pair of flip flops
1 ball of yarn
+ matching size hook

Once upon a time I decided to crochet a blanket in granny squares. For some unknown reason it laid half-finished in the back of my closet. To this day I still do not know why I never finished – the colours were beautiful and the yarn oh so soft.
I have recently become very passionate about yoga, but I am already reaping the benefits. However like crochet the lingo is very confusing to begin with – I looked like a giant question mark the first time the instructor told us to do the spider pose?!
A friend of mine’s 1 old year boy needed bibs while in nursery, and as most store bought bibs look alike, she asked me if I could crochet some, so they would not be mixed with everyone else’s – As his name is Marius I thought that a big “M” on the bib definitely would personalize it.

I loved this phone and all the fun covers you could buy for it – my favourite one was in gold and had the texture of snake skin.. Needless to say I have changed style since then.
Today you can also buy great covers for mobile phones adding a little personality… and also not to mistakenly grab your friend’s phone from the table after an afternoon of coffee & chatting – we all seem to carry the same brand
