Crochet and Paper

there is a lot in the making here. thank you all so much for your lovely comments to my work in progress crochet pillows last week. I followed your advice and have added a simple white backing as you can see. and plan to add the crochet cover tonight while sitting by the fireplace. 

although... now that the white is attached to the back, I like the look of them... this happens to me so often. I plan to make something and half way I see other opportunities and change directions. but, for now I will stick to the plan. may be make more pillows in this plain style later on.

also in the making for the fair I am attending in December; gift tags. I enjoy taking a break from yarn every now and then. working with paper is so quick and satisfying; cutting, glue-ing, glittering away. do you also like those little vintage images? I think they are so cute, and the perfect size for the tags.

and in blue.. a sneak peek. very sneaky. you'll probably guess what's in the making? more about that next week.

have a very happy weekend, and happy Thanksgiving if you are celebrating

and for the Dutch: veel plezier met de intocht van Sinterklaas morgen! wij kijken ook tijdens de Nederlandse les, zo'n heerlijke tijd van het jaar. ik geniet lekker mee met de kinderen hier.
