Christmas

♥ Blogmas 2020!

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! It’s almost December, as you probably noticed. And as every year I have Christmas blogs in December. I am back this year with Blogmas! Yay! You could also call it advent, just what you like. It just means that we will have 24(!!) days of Christmas Amigurumi this year! A pattern every day until Christmas!

I hope you are ready for that. Don’t worry too much, they are all pretty small and I tried to limit the amount of sewing on these (Most of them at least, some couldn’t be avoided). So, they must be done pretty quickly.

I know December is already a very busy month. This year it feels different as well cause of all the stuff happening in the world. But I just think it’s better to keep as much normal as possible, like decorating, my blogmas, baking etc. Let’s get those Christmas vibes! We are also allowed to have some things we enjoy, let’s focus on the good!

For this year I will also make a PDF pattern with all blogmas patterns in there and post it on my Ko-Fi shop. So, you can enjoy them ad free. And yes, I will probably also make a Etsy shop just for this. I will open it officially somewhere next year probably. The patterns will be available in English (US terms) and in Dutch! Woohoo~~. I will update this blog with the link when it’s live!

I hope you are just as excited as I am, I love all the patterns I made for you this year!

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you on Dec 1st!

Love
Danielle

PS. if you love those Blogmas patterns, maybe you’d like to support me on Ko-Fi?! So I can keep making content like this!

♥ Christmas CAL 2019; Introduction

1 Comment

Hey Lovelies! Such a odd day for me to post something, but I wanted to tell you something. This year I won’t do Blogmas like the last 2 years. I wanted to do something different and give myself also some peace. So from dec 5th, on Thursday, as usual, I will start a CAL. If you don’t know what a CAL is, it’s short for Crochet A Long.

Gingerbread Man Christmas

I’ve made this adorable Gingerbread  Man with a Christmas Tree on his back, including some ornaments. Do you like it? I hope you will, and join me on this exciting adventure.

I will split the pattern up in 3. The first week you will get the pattern for the Christmas Tree, the second week the Gingerbread Man and the third week the ornaments.
I will keep doing this on Thursdays, just like you are used to. (The dates are, 5, 12 and 19 December)

Make sure to catch the pattern while you can, and crochet with me and hopefully many others. I am quite excited to do this, I hope you will enjoy! The pattern will be only available during December, after or during the month I will make sure to post it on Etsy or Ravelry or both. Have to see what will work for me .

I can’t wait!

Love
Danielle
