Hey Lovelies! Are you ready for easter yet?! Well, I think I am, but at the same time I am not, I have so many ideas I wanna make and create, but there is not enough time haha. I think I can make easter stuff all year round. Better not do that xD. I’ll just gonna write them down, and if I have time I’ll make them for next year. For today I planned a easter variation on my Boho Duckling. A Easter Bunny! I also wanted to do a little chick, but I couldn’t figure out on time how I wanted the feet to look like, and since my arm hurts a lot, I thought it was better to only upload the easter bunny for you. And hopefully next week upload the little chick.
For this DIY you’ll need: ♥ Yarn in the colors; Light Brown and Cream. (I used Stylecraft Special DK) ♥ Crochet Hook (I used a 2,5mm hook). ♥ Stuffing. ♥ Scissors. ♥ Sewing Pins. ♥ Yarn Needle. ♥ Safety eyes, 6mm. ♥ Pink Felt. ♥ Fabric Glue.
Stitches used (US Terms): Magic Ring. Ch = Chain. SC = Single Crochet. ST = Stitch. Inc = Increase. Dec = Decrease. (…) = Repeat the space in brackets the given number of times. […] = Total number of stitches.
Pattern
The Body and Head will be the same as the Boho Duckling. Use the Light Brown color for this. For the nose you can use either pink felt or embroider it on. Just what you think is best.
Ears (Make 2) Use the color Light brown.

sewing. This way you can easily move all parts around until you are happy with
the outcome.
Sew the body to the head. After that sew on the arms. Now
you can reach them well.
The order doesn’t really matter, but sew on the ears, feet and tail on as well.

definitely love him! Will you show me yours when you made him too? I’d love to
see!
Hey Lovelies! It’s a new week, and Spring has begon! Are you enjoying to see nature slowly come alive again? I love to see plants waking up from their sleep, and see all the fresh leaves and flowers, so, so pretty! Though on the other hand, the waether isn’t sure how to act right now, one moment it storms badly with rain, and the next second it’s sunny. How is it in your country?! Kinda the same as here?

Assembling
I always use sewing pins to place all parts first, before
sewing. This way you can easily move all parts around until you are happy with
the outcome.
Sew on the body to his head and place the wings at both
sides of the body, sew on. His beak will go in between his eyes, but slighly
lower. You don’t have to stuff the beak, but you can do if you want, do that
when you are almost done sewing it on. Last sew on his feet.
This part is optional, but you can give him a little headband. Braid 3 scrap
pieces in a color of choise together until it’s long enough to tie around his
head. Add a little feather, and you are done!
Tip, add some pink pastel dust on his cheeks, for an extra
cute look.
I hope you liked this pattern, and show me if you made it!
Have a lovely day
Hey Lovelies! How are you doing these days?! I had a hard
time chosing a DIY for today, I actually didn’t want to crochet, but I couldn’t
come up with something else. Lately I’ve been so into drawing, that I wanna
draw all day long and do nothing else. Do you have those days from time to time
as well?! Now, I am wondering, if you would like to see any drawing related
stuff on my blogs as well?! As in, tips or tutorials or anything in general.
Let me know in the comments below or through the contact form! I’m actually
wondering this for a while, so yeah better ask =P.
Anyway for today I figured to make a new tsum tsum pattern, just a simple one,
since I still wanna draw at this point xD. It’s Baymax’s turn! I hope you will
enjoy!

Assembling
For assembling I always use pins first to place all the
parts, this way I can easily move them around until I am happy with how it
looks!
First place the legs, the 2 white in front, slightly forward. The greys are at
the back, facing outward, sew them on.
Now sew on the sides of the body. Use the pics as reference.
For the face, I used some black felt. Simply cut out the design you want for
the face and then glue it on.
There is also this little mark on his chest where his ‘heart’ is, you can
choose to cut this out of felt or do some embroidery or leave it out (Like I
did). Just what you think is the easiest for you!
And your Baymax is done! Cute and easy, but I love him! And
another one to our collection! If you want to see a certain tsum I haven’t made
a pattern for yet. Let me know and maybe thay creature will be next!
Hey Lovelies! Happy Valentines Day!! Ha, I wanted to say Happy V-Day! But, then… I only could think of that it was Taehyung’s/V’s Birthday haha. My ARMY (BTS Fandom name) mind creeped out. So let’s keep it Happy Valentines Day! Today I made something to crochet for you, a Succulent heart. I know I am late posting this, but I had a hard time finishing it. I’m sorry for that. But the day hasn’t passed yet! Anyway, It’s a free pattern for you to enjoy. I didn’t make it too sweet, didn’t felt like it this year, this way you can easily use it as a home deco piece!
For this DIY you’ll need: ♥ Grey Yarn*. (I used Zeeman Luxery Yarn with a 5,5mm hook.) ♥ Green Yarn*. (I used Zeeman SuperSoft with a 2mm hook.) ♥ Crochet Hook. ♥ Stuffing. ♥ Scissors. ♥ Yarn Needle. ♥ Sewing Pins. ♥ Soft Pastel. (optional)
*The Grey yarn should be about 2 a 3 times ticker as the
yarn you will use for the plants.
Stitches used (US Terms): Magic Ring. Ch = Chain. SC = Single Crochet. Inc = Increase. Dec = Decrease. (…) = Repeat the space in brackets the given number of times. […] = Total number of stitches.
Repeat row 17 to 21 for the other half of the heart shape.
When you are done, make another one. These 2 you will crochet together with
Single Crochet (SC). Don’t forget to stuff the heart lightly before entirely
closing up. Work away all your tails and make a nice loop to hang the heart at,
at the top.
Succulent Use the Green Yarn.
Small leave (Make 6)
1: 6SC in magic ring. [6]
2: 6SC. [6]
3: 1SC, Inc. [9]
4: 9SC. [9]
5: 9SC. [9]

Assemble the Succulent starting from the small leaves. So you work your way from inside out. You only have the sew the bottom of the leaves together. Make sure you spread them evenly. With some Soft Pastel you can give your succulent a bit more dimension. Just add it with a brush to the edges.
I also added some string of pearls succulent. Which I made a pattern for somewhere last year. You can find it here: Link
Assembling
Now you have your heart and succulents done, you can arrange
them how you would like. I just placed them on with some sewing pins until I
was happy, and sewed them on.
And you are done! Now you can give it to someone you love of
just give it as a present to yourself! It’s good to treat yourself from time to
time as well!
Hey Lovelies! The last challenge was 4 weeks, and we had to make something for HomeDeco! A pretty wide challenge you would think. But when you know what you are allowed to use, and what not, there is not much left anymore. Because we were only allowed to order Yarn.. was that also the only thing you were alowed to use. So, no stuffing, no glass, no stools, no lampshades etc. So all the fun things were not allowed, Great! I even asked if it really wasn’t allowed.. *sigh. Oh well, we should do it with what we have right?!
De laatste opdracht was 4 weken, en we mochten iets maken wat te maken had met HomeDeco! Een vrij ruime opdracht zou je denken. Maar als je bedacht wat we mochten gebruiken, en wat niet, bleef er niet zo heel veel meer over. Omdat we alleen garen mochten bestellen.. was dat ook het enige wat we mochten gebruiken. Dus, geen vulling, geen glas, geen krukjes, geen lampenkappen, enz. Dus alle leuke dingen waren niet toegestaan, great! Ik heb het nog nagevraagd of het echt niet mocht… *zucht. Ach ja, we moeten het doen met wat we hebben.
Because one of my ideas was to make a set of plants, but there you need stuffing for.. so, bye idea. I also thought about a carpet, but I know, I would not use that because of my cat. So, I ended up making a huge Blanket. I thought that was a good idea… but…
1 van mijn ideeën was om een planten set te maken, maar daar heb je vulling voor nodig, dus, doei idee. Ik had ook nog gedacht aan een vloerkleed, maar ik weet, dat ik die zelf nooit zou gebruiken vanwege mijn kat. Dus heb ik uiteidelijk gekozen om een mega woondeken te maken. Ik dacht dat dat een goed idee was… maar..
The first 2 weeks, I only designed 2 large squares. More.. I couldn’t do. I was done, no energy left at all and my body hurted so much. I was about to give up on this contest several times. What you don’t really see in the episodes is that this contest has really tight deadlines, where we have to come up with a plan, order yarn, make the item, block it if needed, write the pattern and make all the pictures. It is too much if you still have a life besides it. I felt often like I had no time to breath, and in my head it was often ‘No rest for the wicked’.
De eerste 2 weken, heb ik alleen 2 grote vierkanten ontworpen. Meer.. kon ik niet doen. Ik was op, geen energie meer en mijn lichaam deed overal pijn. Wat je niet echt ziet in de afleveringen is dat deze wedstrijd hele strakke deadlines heeft. In die tijd moet je een plan bedenken,garen bestellen, alles maken, blokken als nodig, patroon schrijven en de fotografie. Het is teveel als je daarnaar nog een normaal leven hebt. Ik had heel vaak het gevoel dat ik niet eens tijd had om te ademen. Er ging ook heel vaak door m’n hoofd, ‘No rest for the wicked’.
Anyway, My idea for the blanket was inspired by the theme Love Yourself, by BTS, A Korean pop group. It’s so important to love yourself, but there’s create such a ‘perfect image’ you need to have. That, when you are different, have an illeness or what so ever, we usually hide it. How can we love ourself then?! We need to be able to be ourself, Love Ourself, and it’s a must people get aware of that!
Anyway, mijn idee voor de woondeken was geïnspireerd op het thema Love Yourself bij BTS, een Koreaanse Pop Groep. Het is zo belangrijk om jezelf lief te hebben, maar er is zo’n perfect plaatje gecreëerd in de hedendaagse cultuur, dat, als je anders bent, ziek bent of iets anders, we het meestal verstoppen, hoe kun je dan jezelf lief hebben?! We moeten onszelf kunnen zijn, onszelf lief kunnen hebben, het is zo belangrijk dat mensen hier bewust van worden!
I love the colors I used, I was about to use white white, but I am glad I didn’t. This way, the look of it, it’s warmer, with the use of cream. It would be colors I would pick myself, but BTS also used it. So perfect match!
I love de kleuren die ik heb gebruikt. Ik had bijna wit wit gebruikt, maar ik ben zo blij dat ik dat niet gedaan heb! Met Cream, lijkt de deken warmer te ogen. En de rest van de kleuren zijn kleuren die ik zelf zou kiezen, Maar BTS had deze kleuren ook gebruikt. Dus perfecte match!
In the end I made my blanket of 180 by 150 cm in about 2weeks. It’s ridiculous, and I have no clue how I managed to get that done. But I did, it’s a miracle. (If something is in my head, I will make it that way, no matter what) I changed some parts up tho. Like where the hearts are, should have been flowers, and the hearts should be in the other 2 parts. And I also wanted to use BTS logo in there, but that didn’t look right, and became stripesxD.
Uiteindelijk heb ik een woondeken van 180 bij 150cm in ongeveer 2 weken gemaakt. Het is te gek voor woorden, en ik heb geen idee hoe ik dat gedaan heb. Maar ik heb het toch echt gedaan, het is een Miracle. (Als ik iets in mijn hoofd heb, krijg je het er niet meer uit, hoe dan ook, zal het gebeuren) Ik heb wel wat aanpassingen moeten maken. Zoals waar de harten nu zijn, daar hadden eigenlijk bloemen gemoeten en de harten in de andere 2 delen. En ik wou eigenlijk ook het logo van BTS er in verwerken, maar dat zag raar, en werden strepen xD.
Anyway I am happy with how it turned out, even though there are some flaws, that if I had more time, I could have done better. But who cares xD only me probably xD.
Ach ja, ik ben blij met hoe het eruit ziet, ook al zitten er wat foutjes in, dat, als ik meer tijd had gehad, beter had kunnen doen. Maar who cares, waarschijnlijk alleen ikzelf xD.
Here’s my blanket: Hier is mijn woondeken:
I hope you like what I created, even with knowing the story behind it now! Make this one for yourself, or for someone that deserves the love! Wrap yourself in it, keep yourself warm, that’s already a tiny thing you can do, on your way to love yourself.
Ik hoop dat je het mooi vindt wat ik gemaakt heb. Zelfs nu met het verhaal erachter! Maak deze deken voor jezelf of voor iemand waarvan jij vindt dat die wat liefde verdiend! Wikkel jezelf erin, hou jezelf warm. Dat is al een klein iets wat je kunt doen, op jou weg om van jezelf te houden.
I love you all! No matter how you look, what your gender is, how you indentify or not, have an illness and all the others things I forgot to write down. YOU ARE GOOD THE WAY YOU ARE, FEEL LOVED!!
Ik hou van jullie allemaal! Het maakt niet uit hoe je er uit ziet, wat je geslacht is, hoe je je indentificeer, ziek bent en alle andere dingen die ik heb vergeten op te schrijven. JE BENT GOED ZOALS JE BENT, VOEL JE GELIEFD!!
