These little gnomes with their gnome house are very cute as decorations or for play. The house can be used as a storage basket; it has a pocket on the front for needles or small items. The little gnomes can also hide and deliver a gift or be filled with buttons and other items. They even look great as egg cups. Another great project for leftover yarn.

These two door guards aren’t just decorative—they’re also extremely practical. They hang on the door and clearly signal whether the resident is in the mood for visitors—or not. Kids love them, and they’re also great for a home office.

These door guards come in bear or owl designs. It’s best to crochet both, because they’re guaranteed not to stay with you for long. :)

Easy to crochet using leftover yarn.

These two gym bags are something truly special—either with a magical unicorn design or a design perfect for kindergarten or school children. The bottom of each bag is crocheted in rounds, and everything else is knitted in double-face. This means there are no annoying floats inside the gym bag for things to get caught on.

It's still winter, even though Christmas is already over. That's why today I have a few wintery decor suggestions for you that don't just fit the Christmas season.


Brand new in my shop is this polar landscape with igloo, penguins, and snowman. The igloo has a diameter of 15 cm, and the penguins and snowman are about 5 cm tall.



The sweet Snowflake Winter Children fit into any winter decoration. They are about 12 cm tall, and you can bend their arms and legs so that they can take on different poses.


More snowflakes, this time as snowflake window decorations. They can also be used as gift tags. On the back there is a small pocket where you can insert a greeting card.
