The colorful Crazy Owls potholders in the colors of Crazy Patterns are definitely a statement in your kitchen! Anyone who likes owls will love these potholders! They are crocheted double-layered, so you can slip them over your hand like a glove.



Relax in the afternoon with the fun family board game "Mouse Hunt". On the game "board" with colored spaces, little kittens chase mice. Whoever has caught the most mice at the end wins the game. The rules are included in the crochet pattern, but of course they can be adapted to your own taste.



A wonderful gift for a birth or christening is this Noah's Ark door wreath. All children love animals and will enjoy the animals and the colorful rainbow colors.

I always love colorful things, and now, during this rather darker time of year, colorful designs put me in an especially good mood :-) If you feel the same way, you'll find a large selection of colorful accessories in my shop. Here are a few examples:




Knitting pattern for the cozy loop scarf / shoulder warmer "Celtic Sun" - this loop scarf is perfect for snuggling up in! It can be knitted large enough to work as a shoulder warmer too, or a little smaller as a simple loop scarf. It's knitted in double-face, which makes it nice and warm and wearable on both sides.





Crochet pattern for potholders "Flamingo LOVE" - with these potholders, you can let your creativity run wild with color to your heart's content.





Crochet pattern for cloth "Love Birds" - you can crochet the little lovebirds as a washcloth, dishcloth, or potholder, depending on what you need. They're a wonderful eye-catcher in both the bathroom and the kitchen!

Crochet pattern for a balloon cover - you can crochet this granny in lovely bright colors. A great gift for the kids under the Christmas tree 



Colorful accents in the kitchen with crocheted dishcloths

Small leftover cotton yarn is perfect for this. I like giving these cloths as gifts together with a pretty mug 

For a splash of color, a triangular shawl in three colors
will keep you warm on winter evenings
