Hello lovelies!! It's the 1st day of December, which means I'm officially allowing myself to be swept up with Christmassy cheer!!
I've been working on a couple of Christmassy projects and have the first to share with you today!
I've been inspired by the sudden appearance of the Christmas markets and also by the frosty weather here in Hamburg.
I've been crocheting with some yummy colours!
Adding bells and ball balls.
I've been pinning and blocking.
I've been patiently waiting for my project to dry!
I've been hanging my project.
As you can see, Simple Snowflakes have been the project of the week. They are definitely adding a glimpse of colour to my now dark and Decembery apartment.
I made these using some creative cotton in lots of glorious shades. They're not traditional Christmas colours, but I like that!
Simply hanging on a branch, in a vase on my table, they have a temporary home until I buy a real Christmas tree.
They are a fun and really quick project and hopefully there is still enough time before Christmas!
I hope you like the tutorial!! If there are any problems or question about the it, just drop me a message and I'll get right back to you!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

They were made with a very simple pattern I created earlier in the week. I've added it to the 'Tutorials' List on the left hand side of my blog, also you can follow the link here for "Simple Snowflakes".

ReplyDeleteMatt - I love you hook! First time I've seen one like that :-)
ReplyDeleteThe snowflakes are lovely. Makes for a very pretty Christmas Tree. Do you use wood glue?
What a lovely idea!!
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely stunning, I love the different colours, to me anything bright and colourful is good for christmas. ( wouldn't it be wonderful if snowflakes really were all the colours of the rainbow...... )
ReplyDeleteI'm using some crochet snowflakes in some bunting and I'd love to add a different shaped snowflake to the mix. Can I ask what you are painting on them as I've tried spray starch and it didn't really work ?

Love that branch with all the colorful snowflakes. Your work always makes me smile :) I was stationed in Germany in the mid 70's and remember it being a magical place at Christmas.
