Very sad Christmas....

Dear readers....
For everyone who has been waiting for my give-away, I'm sorry...
My grandma passed away very suddenly, about two-and a half weeks ago, at the age of (almost) 83.

She was brought to the hospital on friday afternoon with stomach pains and signs of dehydration.
Her bloodpressure suddenly dropped friday evening, so I picked up my mom in Harderwijk and we rushed to the hospital in Amersfoort.
When we got there she seemed to be doing a bit better, but the situation still wasn't very good...
Saturday they figured out that the sitiuation was so bad, that she wouldn't leave the hospital alive this time...
Sunday afternoon she passed away, surrounded by her loved ones....

I'm very sad and feel kind of empty, since grandma didn't want to go, but her body just couldn't take any more...
I'm grateful though, I went to see her  two weeks before she got sick, and I took my little man with me... I'll never forget "grote oma's" face when I held him in front of her... She was so proud of this new great-grandchild... :,-)

As you can understand, I didn't (and still really don't) feel like blogging.
And as my give-away is a Christmas-related gift, this one won't be posted.

I'm thinking of something else to make, so I can do a give-away in the new year....

Love, Caroline

Crochet Cowls

I haven't started on the messenger bag yet, but I'v finished my cowl and started on another one for hubby! They aren't crocheted round (I've triend it and I failed miserably), but they are sewn together when I'm done...

Joshua is modeling mine... :D He's getting so big already...!

I'm crocheting my ass off at the moment, to finish the small x-mas-gifts for my colleagues...

And I'm planning on doing a give-away of one or two of the beauties I'm making...

So stay tuned...

Love,

Caroline

Daiperpouch

I was sick and tired of taking my huge daiperbag with me for Joshua, just going to the store for some groceries.
So I sewed a small daiperpouch, which fits in my handbag. It holds a sack of babywipes and 3 or 4 daipers. I could even fit a mouthcloth in there.

I used eloleo's tutoleo but pimped the outside a bit.

We are really into sealife, so I made a whale cutout on the front.

For the liningI used a cradlesheet from the Hema, which someone gave me But since I don't have a cradle and it doesn't fit Joshua's crib, I cut it up.
The outside is IKEA Aina fabric.

 I'm planning on making a messenger-style-bag for Joshua to take his stuff to the daycarecentre. And I'm using the same fabrics...

Hopefuly I can show you my progress on that next time, but I'm also doing loads of othe crafty stuff, so maybe I'll show that first...

Love,

Caroline
