Oatmeal Soup

What a great deal, Steffi. I would have bought that for 5 euros, too.
Beads are always a good choice—they look great. I still have so many lying around here because I just don’t have the time to work with them.

Have fun crafting with them!

Where’s Pia? She hasn’t come back yet.

@Marlies, those are the blue yarns.

Hi Marlies,

I just read that the package was delivered, but it’s still annoying how it arrived at your place.

You’re so quick, and you’ve found some lovely wool treasures—I even recognize some of my own yarns.
I’m sure you’ll make something wonderful out of them. Have fun working with it.
We’re looking forward to the next “Wollebad.”

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend with the swap yarn :-)

Love, Andrea

is absolutely amazing. Really great and so lovingly crafted, and very true to the original.
Everything looks so delicious. Even the “egg carton” is crocheted.
It makes you want to play with it right away, even as an adult. Great work 🌭🧈🥚🍪😍

they first tried everything out until...

Zipper

tons of toys.

There was a huge truck there, fully loaded with...

First, let’s make a big list...

Craft scissors

Luckily, nothing happened.

I’ve already test-crocheted with the ribbon yarn; it works great.
Maybe I’ll make a bag out of it; we’ll see. I’m still experimenting.

With the neon yarn, some mosaic granny squares, and with this thin crochet yarn, little figures or maybe the included pattern for doilies.

Ina, you’re a sweetheart, thank you.

Marlies, you can look forward to being next. I’ve just sent the package on its way.
Have fun browsing.
Maybe it’ll arrive this weekend, who knows.

Lots of love, Andrea

Thank you, Inge. And thanks to Petra, too. I really like this kind of thing.

So, my dear yarn lovers,

I had the pleasure of being the first to look inside this package.
It was quite heavy—I managed to carry it up to the 3rd floor, opened it…

and there I stood, faced with a huge selection. It wasn’t easy to decide this time. Beautiful yarns. Let yourself be surprised.
For the first time, I’m trying this great ribbon yarn (top left).

Here’s my haul


Hugs, Andrea

Marlies gets to look forward to it next

What a beautiful abundance of blossoms. 
Doesn't it look great?

Photo with the magnolia taken a few days ago; the other one is from today. Gorgeous😍

  Have a lovely week, everyone

Best wishes, Andrea

Hi everyone,

Joy. The yarn package arrived today.
More on that later. Thanks, Ina

Hi Monika,

I also wish little Linja a speedy recovery and hope that everything will be okay.
Such little rays of hope do give you hope again, and I think it’s wonderful that she’s learning to ride a bike. It distracts her a little.
All the best to you

Best wishes, Andrea

Thank you very much—I wish you all a relaxing, sunny weekend as well, and for those who have time, some crafting too.

I have the whole weekend off again for a change. Today we were able to move our coffee break out onto the balcony—it was wonderfully warm in the sun; you can really soak up the sunshine. After all those rainy days, that felt really good.
If the weather cooperates, we’ll go on a little bike ride tomorrow, somewhere along the Havel River.
And definitely some crafts.

Best wishes, Andrea

Here we go. I’m really excited, of course, especially since I’m even first this time.
Let’s see what swap yarn arrives for me and gets to join my stash. Thanks, Ina

Those are some funny snapshots.

I also found another funny snapshot. Last year’s vacation in Wernigerode.

Dear Ina,

what great news that another yarn package is on its way. Awesome.
I’d love to join again.

I sent you a PM.

Best wishes, Andrea

My deepest condolences.
Losing a loved one is always painful. That’s why I’m wishing you lots of strength—and maybe a little distraction through your crafts.
But he lives on in your heart.

ruthk, my door wreath has an inner diameter of 10 cm, which makes the bunny look a bit bigger, but that was my intention.

The heart-shaped pillow for my mom is also finished. I’ll post a picture soon.

Monika , the patchwork skirt looks really great. I’d even wear it in those colors.
It’s amazing what you all manage to create with your knitting needles.

I always think knitted wrist warmers are so pretty. I haven’t tried making them myself yet. I’m more of a crocheter, but I’d definitely wear them.

Steffi, your knitting project already looks great and intricate. I’m curious to see what it’ll look like when it’s finished. From the way you describe it, I can already picture it.

There’s nothing left here either. There are just the two of us, and we had these little mini bunnies in our mixed Easter bag. That’s enough for us.
Everything’s completely gone.🐰

Belated birthday wishes from the bottom of my heart, too.
I hope you had a wonderful day with coffee, cake, and your family.
Stay just the way you are,
and keep having fun here on the forum.

Warmest regards
Andrea

Hello everyone,

and once again, such hard-working crafters here. Such pretty and unique creations have been made. I’m thrilled.

The door wreath isn’t quite finished yet. The heart is going to be a pillow for my mom.
The little yellow pouch will be a neck pouch—it’s just missing a button.

I’m still using up my leftover yarn, but also some new yarn.


Hugs, Andrea

Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter holiday


Best regards
Andrea

Oh my gosh, Monika, what a sweet, cute little boy you have. Your Julian looks so adorable—and blond with blue eyes, too. I wouldn’t want to part with him either.
But your doll girls are going to be thrilled.

I like both outfits. You’re so quick with your needles, and I’m sure you’ll show us something soon. We’re always eagerly waiting for the latest doll fashion à la Moni 😀

It’s nice when you can treat yourself. Have fun with your “baby”!

Love, Andrea

When it comes to crochet hooks, I also prefer these plastic or rubberized handles. They’re better for my joints than the thin metal crochet hooks from back in the day.

As for knitting needles (I knit every now and then), I prefer the acrylic ones. They come in such great colors. For me, it has to be colorful.

Happy birthday, and best wishes for good luck and good health.🎁🎂🥂☘🌺

Best regards, Craft Fan

Thank you, Monika.
Your “Karl” already looks very promising in terms of color. I always admire your knitting skills.

Have a pleasant week, everyone

it’s April weather here, yuck.

Best wishes, Andrea

Hey Diana,

Belated happy birthday wishes from me, too.
Above all, I wish you good health, happiness, and contentment. Keep coming up with lots of great ideas for your shop.
Stay just the way you are.
Hope you had a wonderful day with your family
🎈🎁🕯🍰🎂🥂🍄💐🍀

Warm regards from me,
Andrea

I’m enjoying the weekend with some crafts 🧶👧🥂
