Did I tell you that Christmas is my absolute favourite time of the  year? I just can´t help myself. Even though the wet and cold weather is really bad for my Fibromyalgia, I have noticed that the spirit and magic of Christmas always gives me restored energy and keeps my spirit happy. So as I am watching tons of Christmas movies I am also designing all kinds of new Christmas designs. And since Christmas is a time of giving, I have decided to share all the designs that I am making this month for free. So yes, here is another free design.  The kids decided that we needed a Christmas blanket. But ofcourse one in the colours which we all like so much and fits our home. I came up with these Christmas Balls squares to make us a Christmassy but also colourful blanket. The yarn that I´ve used is Missisippi 3 from  Katia Yarns . The golden yarn is the Glam from  Durable .  I want to share the pattern of these squares with you, so you can make yourself a bla...

At the beginning of this month the first ever YLA Box  arrived at my doorstep. As I was over the moon excited I made a little movie on IGTV. You can find it on my Instagram profile which can be found  here   ! Everything was wrapped in paper with the colour gold. I soon came to know that the designer of this months box was Lisanne Multem. Lisanne is known from the Blog  Draad en praat . Lisanne has written two crochet books and she recently launched her own magazine! Isn´t that just awesome? If you would like to see more of her and her work, you can find her Instagram account  here . As I was only thinking about the video at that moment and beeing in full excitement, I totally forgot to take pictures of everything that was inside. So if you´re curious, just take a peek at my video over at IGTV. Thankfully I´ve got other pictures as well, just not from the unboxing. In the box were three balls of yarn from Scheepjes. Stonewashed XL. It is really ...

Hello wonderful people! How have you been? All has been good on this side of the laptop. The weather has been poorly this past week, but since today it's getting way better. So when I'm done writing this Blog, I'm off to go and enjoy some outside crochet.  On Instragram I have been sharing some sneak peeks of one of the new projects which I recently started.  Some of you already started speculating about what it would be. And no! It's not going to be another blanket. It's a scarf! And it will be called The Cotton Candy Scarf! Right now I am working on writing the pattern and hopefully next week my Fabulous Testers will be doing the testing part!  Here is the scarf which is already finished. I am now working on another one, but in a different colour.  When this pattern is finished I will be finishing up another pattern which I am working on.. Remember the pink backpack? I will be finishing up this project and writing the pattern very so...

Well hello! It has been a while, hasn't it? This past year I've had some heatlth concerns as most of you know, but I am finally getting back to beeing me. I have learned so much this past year. But most of all that I have to listen to myself. My body and my mind always give me signs when it's time to slow down. I became more consious of my own (well) beeing. And it's a good thing right?  When I started this new year - 2018 - I decided to set myself some goals. And two of those goals are getting back to Blogging and designing more patterns. As the designing is going well lately I found myself in a place where I am able to pick up on the Blogging again. I have always loved it, but I couldn't find the energy for it.  I truly hope that you are doing ok? Recently I have opened my Etsy shop and I am super happy and excited about that! You all have been so super kind and supportive and I really want to thank you all from the bottem of my heart for that. You gu...

Finally, my website is online and I would like to thank you so much for taking the time to visit! I´ve got lot´s of great things up my sleeve for this year. And I´m going to tell you a few things about my plans. But first I want to give a huge ´thank you´ to my ex-husband Mike Bult, who designed this great logo for me. As things weren´t working out the way I wanted, I shared my frustrations with him and he immediatly stepped in. He is a graphic designer and when I told him what I wanted, he created this logo for me and helped me out great deal! So thank you Mike! Also looking for someone to create your logo or may be you need help with the design of your website? Just contact him at info@mikebult.nl And Nath... Thank you so much for helping me pick a name. We´ve had a blast, didn´t we? As some of you know by now, I like to create little patterns and share them for free with you. Obviously I will keep on doing that! But right now I´m al...
