Chunky Doily!

Hello lovelies!

As a crocheter, it is my duty to crochet as much as I can and start as many projects as I can without finishing the ones I was working on. That's how I role. That's just the kind of crocheter I am. 

You might be reading this and thinking, nope, not me,  LIAR! All it takes sometimes, is a little look on Pinterest, to make you forget all about what you were working on! Yes, Pinterest is a dangerous place to be for a crocheter. If you don't have any self control, you'll never finish a project in your life!

Got my faux fur rug!

Now, in my case, things aren't that bad. I still manage to pop out some actual finished items from time to time! Which is what I did yesterday! I was walking through the city with our little Pops (I call Poppy: Pops from time to time, I'm that kind of a dog owner) on the lookout for some nice props for all the photos we take of our work. My mind was set on a faux fur sheepskin rug or something like that. You know how whenever you need something, and you think you've seen it in every shop, they don't sell it anywhere?! Well, it was one of those days.

Book Review - Learn To Crochet Love To Crochet

Hello everybody!

Today we're featuring our very first Book Review! It's quite exciting as it's something we've never done before! We were contacted by the publishers of this book a while back, asking if we were interested in reviewing this book and we thought it would be a great idea!
We LOVE crochet books as they are a great inspiration to us! There will always be some patterns in there that trigger your desire to crochet something! New yarns to discover, new stitch patterns, you name it!

Now just because we were sent this book, doesn't mean we were paid to say certain things about it! We wouldn't feel right about saying things we don't fully stand behind.
The book we're reviewing is "Learn to Crochet, Love to Crochet" by Anna Wilkinson.

How To Crochet A Simple Coaster

Good day everyone!

I'm back with another quick pattern for you guys! This one is even easier and was actually born out of necessity.
I think that's the great thing about being able to crochet. Once you have some experience with crocheting, it gets easier and easier to make things without a pattern at all. Take this next pattern for example: Coasters. I needed some coasters, so I crocheted some coasters. I could have gone online and probably found about a 100 similar patterns, but I felt like making and creating them all by myself! There's something so very satisfying about turning a ball of yarn into a useful product all by yourself! Don't you guys think? Do you ever look at a finished item and say to yourself: You used to be just yarn!

Crochet Star - Video Tutorial!

Hello lovelies!

I hope you guys are well! In Germany, the weather has suddenly changed from "Too hot to wear a t-shirt" to "Where are my gloves?!". Since we don't own a car, we do everything by foot or by bicycle and we really need to dress nice and warm for this weather. It's the perfect excuse to get our homemade scarf collection out and start wrapping ourselves in all that yarny goodness!

The moment I feel the weather change, my thoughts go straight to Christmas. I know it's a little premature at the moment, but since Christmas is my favourite time of the year, I already can't stop thinking about it. I have to restrain myself from going to the basement and getting at least a few decorations out already! Christmas lights are my favourite ;-)

The weather makes me want to light every candle we have in the house, burn some incense, put on my super warm house shoes and wrap up in a nice woollen jumper on the sofa!

Happy Chicken Doorstop!

Hello there lovelies!

Since we have our beautiful craft room all set up (we mention it in our latest Vlog), I've been way more inspired to use our sewing machine a little more often. It always used to be quite a hassle getting it out of the cupboard, getting an extension cable (our dining table didn't have a socket nearby), connecting the cables, getting the fabrics from another box, etc... Some people might be fine with that, but since I'm a tiny little bit (hugely) lazy, I ended up not using it very much.

Picture Frame Upcycle!

Hello there!

Did we mention that we have a craft room now? I feel a little spoiled writing this, but it's so AWESOME to have a craft room!
Since we never had a craft room before, we don't really have lots of stuff to fill it up with, besides all our yarn, fabric, needles, more yarn, did I mention yarn? etc...
After everything was organised in the room, it became very clear that the room looked sad and empty, which are probably the worst qualities a craft room can have. It needs to be colourful and inspiring! It needs to be a space that motivates you and inspires you to be creative! A space that keeps changing depending on your mood, interests and colour vibes!

In Bed With Boys & Bunting - Episode 5

Hello Lovelies!
We can't believe it's been almost 5 (!!) months since we last uploaded a VLOG!
Looking back though, we've been so incredibly busy with so many things!
From packing up our old house, moving to another city, going on a long holiday, moving more stuff, Dennis visiting his family in Spain, Matt rehearsing full time, etc... it's no wonder we've had very little time for our favourite hobby: crochet, crafting and working on Boys & Bunting.
Thank you guys so much for sticking around and supporting us, even though we couldn't give you as much attention over the last couple of months as we've wanted to!
Anyways, enough excuses! Grab yourself a big mug of tea/coffee/whisky and come crawl into bed with us:
