This cute angel is a guardian angel for all children who don’t like falling asleep in the dark. It stands on a battery-operated LED light that can be controlled with a remote control. You can choose colored or white light, or a color-changing mode. The brightness can also be adjusted so the light doesn’t disturb sleep.

How time flies!
In three weeks, the first Advent calendar doors will be opened. If you haven't made an Advent calendar yet, then it's high time to get started!


 
This calendar is made from photo cardstock and consists of simple hexagonal boxes. Finished, it measures approx. 33.5 x 35.5 x 5.5 cm. To make sure everything fits together well in the end, precise work is very important; otherwise, you don't need any special prior knowledge here.

A hat is always a lovely project for an enjoyable weekend. 

Here I’m showing you different models, all of which can be made in 8 sizes. That makes it easy to make the right hat for anyone on a rainy weekend.



November Day Hat is knitted with knit and purl stitches. For my hats, you should have some practice using a set of double-pointed needles. 



Family Hat is knitted in spirals, which helps the hat fit the shape of the head even better and grow along with it. 

All my hats are described in the pattern in writing, round by round.



Slalom Hat is intended more for girls. The cable is created without a cable needle, and the yarn overs complement the beautiful pattern. 



Jax Hat is knitted in seed stitch. For this model, knowledge of knit and purl stitches is required.



This hat with a loop stitch pattern was my first model. The pattern is explained in detail with lots of pictures, so beginners with a little practice can quickly reach their goal. 

For the small sizes, the amount needed is =< 50 grams; for adult sizes, approx. 80 grams is enough with a yardage of 125 m. 

It’s time again for my Eifel scoodie.
It’s also a quick project, since it is knitted with just 200g of Brando yarn.
The pattern consists only of knit and purl stitches.

With this beautiful heart motif and cozy yarn, spending the weekend knitting on the sofa is a real joy! The beanie fits a head circumference of approx. 50–54 cm (but the size can easily be adjusted), it is knitted in double-face and can therefore be worn on both sides.

St. Nicholas Day is also fast approaching. In case you’re looking for suitable packaging for your St. Nicholas gifts, I’d like to introduce this one to you.



  This elegant St. Nicholas boot is made of cardstock and measures approximately 17.5 x 22.5 x 8 cm. With a little crafting experience, it’s very easy to make.

The heart is a beautiful decorative eye-catcher and at the same time a practical sponge that you can use for bathing and showering. 

The heart is super easy and super quick to crochet, even for beginners.

Even the simplest tea lights look truly festive in these Christmas-themed tea light holders. This little craft project is a wonderful way to spend your weekend.



The holders are made of cardstock and measure approximately 14 x 14 x 2 cm. They’re easy to make, but they need to be cut and folded very precisely. The recesses fit both real tea lights and matching LED candles.
