October Project

My main crochet project for this month is a baby blanket. Crocheting for babies is always so enjoyable. I don’t know yet who this blanket will be for. Obviously, it’s going to be for a little princess.

My sister-in-law is expecting, but we don’t know the gender yet. I hope she’ll have a little girl.


I’m not following any patterns but trying to come up with my own. I make notes along crocheting and if this blanket turns out pretty enough, I will gladly share the pattern with everyone.

Doily of the Week #34

Today I finished this black doily. Perfect timing as Halloween is only one month away!


I’m going to use this doily as a centerpiece. I placed the doily on a charger plate and added a ceramic pumpkin that I bought last year from a dollar store. I might replace the pumpkin with a real one and add more details.


I’m very pleased with the way this doily turned out.

Unfortunately, the link to the pattern doesn't work anymore.

I’m Back to Blogging and Crocheting

Hello! I am back from my two-week vacation in Europe. It was a lot of fun, but it’s nice to be home now. I have many crochet projects on hold. But before I can get to them, I have lots of house chores to do.


I took the picture above in a beautiful tea room in Krakow, Poland. That pineapple doily looks quite charming.

Doily of the Week #33

This doily is called Autumn Reflections. The original one was made in yellow, and it did remind me of autumn. I made mine in white and as I look at it, I think about the summer that is almost over. So I refer to this doily as Summer Farewell.
