Hello ya'll lovelies!  Happy (belated) new year to all of you!  These past two months  have been so super busy. All with fun things thankfully. During Christmas holidays I didn't do much crochet as I was spending tons of quality time with my family. We all enjoyed it to the max.  As I was thinking about what to give our girls for Valentines Day, I came up with these little pouches. They are really easy to crochet and you can make a bunch of them in no time. Stuff them with little sweets, chocolates, or a soap bar for example. The pattern which can be found down here (just scroll down), is written in Dutch, English UK and English US.  Have much fun creating them. If you share them on Instagram I would love it when you use the hashtag #crochetvalentinepouch That way I can see them (only if your account is open!) and so I can share them in my stories. The yarn that I've used for this pouch is Durable Coral and Durable Glam. Pattern Dutch...

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 ...

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...
