In the next couple of weeks, I am really focusing on Spring cleaning. It is always a little daunting, thinking of all of the work, but I sooo love the end result. Organizing, cleaning out, giving away…it just makes me feel good! Usually I “Spring clean” all year and just take a room a month […]

The final entry in our Pretty Piped Pillow Series is a gorgeous octagon, which features a double framed square and clever corner triangles. As with the other pillows in this series, the patchworking looks much more complex than it really is. Make sure your initial cuts are precise, and assembly will be a snap. We

Beach Cover-Up Made from an Old Towel ~ I adore this beach cover-up! I think it would be cute paired with a summer dress.

See how to make a patchwork panel from which you can cut horizontal accent bands. Use them to jazz up a store-bought flour sack towel (or two or three). We pulled leftover jelly roll strips, but any small scraps could work.

Just when I thought these .79 cent IKEA TEKLA dish towels couldn’t get better, I’m taking some cues from Martha Stewart and inspired to dye them into pretty spring colored napkins this year.

Die Campingstühle unserer Kinder bekamen neue Überzüge. Die alte Bespannung war noch nie wirklich hübsch anzusehen, aber der Hauptgrund für die neuen Überzüge waren Stockflecken, die ich auch nach einer Fleckenbehandlung nicht mehr ganz aus dem Stoff raus bekam. Für die Überzüge habe ich alte Bettwäsche und Vorhänge verwendet. Gestern nutzten wir den sonnigen Nachmittag, um die Stühle ein erstes mal zu testen. Wir genossen unseren "Zvieri" (Schweiz. für: Zwischenmahlzeit am Nachmittag) im Garten - auf Campingstühlen und am Campingtisch (dessen Beine mal wieder geschmiert werden mussten). Als Servietten dienten uns unsere neuen Küchentücher, welche ich ebenfalls aus alter Bettwäsche, Vorhängen und Tischtüchern genäht und mit Häkelblümchen und Bommelborte verziert habe. Diese Küchentücher wurden ebenfalls für den Urlaub im Wohnmobil hergestellt und werden uns deshalb in den Norden begleiten und für ein bisschen Farbe im Camper sorgen. Habt alle ein schönes und sommerliches Wochenende! Kram, Doris Nachtrag: Hier (auf mehrfachen Wunsch) eine Anleitung für die Häkelblümchen: Zwei Luftmaschen häkeln und dann wieder in die erste Masche stechen. 4 Lufmaschen; 1 Stäbchen & 2 Lftm (noch 6 mal wiederholen); Runde mit einer Kettmasche schliessen. In den Luftmaschenbogen der Vorrunde 1 feste Masche, 1 Lftm, 2Stb, 1 Lftm, 1 fm (noch 6 mal wiederholen); Runde mit einer Kettmasche schliessen. Falls die Blumen noch etwas kleiner werden sollen, könnt ihr statt Stäbchen auch halbe Stäbchen häkeln. Viel Freude beim Häkeln!

I finally finished my Folded Poncho this week. It took almost two months to knit because I lost motivation halfway through, but my mojo came back eventually. I like it well enough, but next time I make this I'll stick to the recommended length, OR add a few inches to the width. I will also buy some blocking wires so the edges don't scallop as they dry. While my poncho was blocking, I found some old dish cotton and acrylic from a previous project to play with. I have only managed to knit one dish towel so far, but I plan on making a couple more with the same colors in the next few days. I also want to try making either this crocheted rag rug, or this knitted odds and ends rug. Or both! I think either would look great on the floors in our first home.
