While decorating our Christmas tree with the help of Maciej I noticed that we lacked the most important ornament – the tree-topper. So I decided to give it a go and made a patten for a star that could decorate our little tree. The pattern is quite simple, but I think the effect is really ...
Maciej is going to the kindergarten in December. It’s a big thing for the whole family and so to make sure that he’s well equipped for the new adventure (and to occupy my mind with something other than worrying) I decided to crochet a vest for him. For a toddler vest in the size 92 ...
