The weather isn’t supposed to be very nice this weekend—which makes it the perfect time to pick up your crochet hook again!

Set off on an imaginary journey with the little mouse in the balloon to wherever you like! The hot-air balloon is a beautiful decoration—not just for a child’s room. It looks especially pretty under a lamp or by the window.
For this project, you’ll need:

• 1 skein each of cotton yarn (125 m/50 g) in mint, gray, and natural,
  
• 1 2.5 mm crochet hook,
  
• 1 Styrofoam ball, 15 cm in diameter
  
• craft batting
• embroidery thread
  
• strong thread or nylon cord for the whiskers
  

Optional:

• Leftover gray fuzzy yarn (e.g., Estivo II by Lana Grossa)
• Cardboard tube (toilet paper roll) to reinforce the basket
• safety eyes

Every schoolchild needs a guardian angel!

School will be starting soon, and our children are taking another step toward independence. It’s not only a little scary for them sometimes; we also have to get used to the fact that the children are growing up.

Especially during those first days, a little guardian angel dangling from the school bag can be a small friend and comforter. That’s why this guardian angel isn’t an ethereal being, but a schoolchild, just like our child. He carries a school cone in his arm and a school satchel on his back (which can be removed and opened to store a few coins or gummy bears inside).

To crochet him, all you need is some leftover yarn in skin tone, white and blue or pink.

Crocheted by Mom or Grandma, he makes a very special gift for the first day of school.

You can crochet the little angel as a  guardian angel boy   or as a guardian angel girl.
Have fun with it!

The decorations/coasters " little snowflakes " with a diameter of approx. 10 cm are very well suited for the Christmas season and create a cozy atmosphere. They can be beautifully placed on the festive table as coasters for candle holders or used as door and window decorations. And of course as Christmas tree ornaments . Making one snowflake does not require much yarn, so they can be crocheted from leftover yarn. A lovely way to use up leftovers!
