Need a heart? I know where you can get one! But be careful with it, because it’s pretty small and weightless. It can be easily blown out of your hands, just like a dandelion seed. But wait, wouldn’t it be nice if love spread over the world as fast as dandelions?

DIY Paper Christmas Tree Hanging
Бумажный шар на ёлку своими руками
As I mentioned in one of the previous posts, my daughters got a mail from Christmas elves and the elves asked them to make a paper ball. The elves actually sent two coloring pages with ornaments to use for the creation, but we also did it using a paper randomly coloured with watercolours.

As our little girl was growing older, she started grabbing things and it was the best time to make for her a mobile. I searched for ideas through Pinterest and Google, but absolutely nothing was found that could catch my eye. Then one day I noticed that Marge likes to observe a crocheted flower in her cardigan and the idea was born. It was decided to make a few crocheted rattles with flowers on top covering plastic egg containers.

All of a sudden a heat wave came across Riga. But it won’t prevent me from sharing a pattern of Veronika’s new hat.
Crocheted stool cover
Медальон на табурет
A few days ago I stumbled upon a wonderful idea of crocheting a stool cover with a hook of a big size. This had inspired me, and today I have a result of my own. Our kitchen stools has a completely new look now. We have a rather dark and partly green colored kitchen, so it was great to find in my stash one dark green skein of DK yarn. Though it was barely enough of this skein.
My order from the Hobbyset.lv online shop has arrived yesterday. Now we have a pile of plastic eggs for a realisation of our crafty ideas. And also a lot of jars for my beads. The site had mentioned the exact size of the jars, but still I was expecting for them to be somewhat larger. But still, to have them is better than not to have. Though a part of the beads had to stay in packs.
And maybe it just happening in my mind, but it seems that it’s finally getting greener outside!

These beautiful little Easter Roosters will be happy to join you on your Easter brunch!
I used Alize Bella yarns for my roosters and a 2 mm hook.
You will need:
– a small amount of a light yellow cotton yarn,
– even smaller amount of bright yellow and red cotton yarn,
– a black thread,
– needle,
– stuffing and a marker (optional).
– меньше 1-го клубочка светло-жёлто пряжи,
– ещё меньше ярко-жёлтой и красной пряжи,
– чёрная нить,
– иголка,
– наполнитель и маркер для вязания крючком (но без последнего можно и обойтись).
See this page for abbreviations used in this pattern.
Now, the pattern!

The Comb.
Now that the head is ready, you can make the comb.
Take the red thread and stitch 8 chain stitches across the top of the head as it is shown on the scheme #1. Take the end of the thread underside, fasten off and cut it off.
Now begin crocheting the comb. Start from the front (the comb sits lower on the back side) and crochet according the scheme #2:
Row 1: make a slip knot, insert the hook into the first chain and pull through a loop of the thread, chain 1 (will count as the first SC). Work 1 SC out of each of the other stitches. Turn.
Row 2: Ch 1 (counts as the first SC), work 1 DC out of the second st from the hook, work SC in the same st. 1 SC in the next st.
* [Work 1 SC out of the next stitch, then 1 DC, 1 half TR, 1 DC and 1 SC all out of the same stitch. Work 1 SC in the next st]. Repeat from the * one more time.
Work 1 SC out of the next stitch, then 1 DC, 1 half TR and 1 DC all out of the same stitch.
1 SC in the next st. End with a sl st in the head. Cut the thread off, but be sure to leave a pretty long tail (about 8 inches/ 20 cm) to be able to stitch the knob with it too.
Now that the comb is ready, fill the head with the stuffing and bring the thread through the head with the needle to the place where the knob should be and stitch it. Bring the thread inside and to the bottom of the head and cut the tail off. Stitch the eyes with the black thread and bring the thread inside and to the bottom of the head and cut the tail off.

Happy crocheting!
Home sweet home
Дом, милый дом!
I love to be home! To woke up and see through my window a huge thundercloud shining in the sun above the neighbour house… To sleep on the bed that is big enough for everyone including me and my workstation…
Когда, просыпаясь с утра, видишь весеннюю дождевую тучу над соседним домом, залитым солнцем..
Когда на кровати хватает места для всех и меня, да ещё и рабочую станцию можно разместить..
The cat follows me everywhere I go, eats with me, sits next to me when I’m washing dishes, sleeps with me…
(By the way, thank you Phoebe for letting me take a photo of you with this flower, that I’ve crocheted in the hospital).
And the oldest daughter surprised me with a Happy Birthday card for Marge!
But the biggest surprise for me was the fact that my middle daughter suddenly became so big! I remember this effect I felt from the time when Veronika born, therefore I waited for it once Marge born.
If a kid can’t find an activity for himself
Если ребёнку нечем заняться
My almost seven years old Anastasia oftentimes tells us that she doesn’t have any activity to do. Usually she suddenly remembers about everything she really wanted to do right in the same day’s evening when it’s already a time to go to a bed.
This made me think of an idea of a list of tips that the kid can look into when nothing comes to his mind by itself.
I made a list in Excel, applied a dotted border. Then I cut 2×7 cm cards of a cardboard and glued a text on them. I used a trinket key chain to bind cards together.
