Orange the colour of amusement...

It is already the end of October, just a few days away from Halloween. When thinking of Halloween or even autumn, we think of the colour orange. A colour which radiates warmth and happiness, combining the physical energy and stimulation of red with the cheerfulness of yellow.

Here is a lovely collection of orange crochet patterns. Clicking on the pictures will bring you to the pattern.

Weekly Inspiration_07: Yellow accents

Last week I went through many interior magazines as I feel spring is almost there and want to change something in my apartment to express summer is on its way :-). Well, I  realised that a big trend this spring is having yellow accents in the interior and in your outfits. Have a look at the examples I have gathered.

Fancy up your hair tie {DIY tutorial}

Everyone has got some simple plain hair ties laying around at home. If it is not for yourself, it might be for your daughter(s). With a crochet hook and some yarn (cotton or acrylic, as you wish) you can quickly make your hair tie look more fancy and even match it with your outfit.

Have a look here at this easy pattern, after the jump.

Weekly Inspiration_05:: Pink and Green

Spring is in the air!! Are you ready for Green and Pink?? It feels like a natural combination as we see it so often in nature. But of course the softer the colors the more easy it seems to wear where as a strong contrast if is often avoided (like picture 3). But look at the cool crochet 'green belt' she is wearing on top of her skirt!! ;-)

What's new??? Spring colours 2013

For those who haven't seen it yet, Pantone announced it's top 10 fashion spring colours for 2013 a while ago. See here the overview and the names they gave them. They are not that different from last year but they seem a bit more intense and optimistic than spring 2012. The 'It' colour  for 2013 is suppose to be Monaco Blue. Hope this will help you to decide what to wear, crochet or sew for the coming months. :-) 
Which of those 10 colours would you like to wear this Spring???
