Granny Diamond pattern release!

You can buy the pattern on RAVELRY or ETSY ;)

Feels SO good to finish things!

One and a half month on this lovely blanket (and pattern) .. such a creative month! loved it - crocheted everywhere we went :D and I mean everywhere - I even managed to crochet by the seaside while sunbathing! (if my hubby didn't think I am crazy - now he is sure about it)

But my obsession with Granny Diamond pattern is not over yet ... I have already started another blanket (and pattern) featuring the diamond - this is gonna be awesome ;)
as I see it if you learn to make a diamond and all the halves/quarters I have shown you how

It's gonna be legen
wait for it
dary

but enough of future plans, this is the time and place to brag about the Granny Diamonds!
So here IT is!

Random rambling: Hooked on idea!

crazy
fantastic
obsessive

That great feeling when you get THAT idea :)
you work, you try this thing out, you probably fail .. and yet the idea is so persistent you can't stop, you have to try out something else to make it, have fun .. and eventually - success!

I LOVE IT! ;)
and yes creative madness is addictive :P

Random rambling: yarnends ...

O my ... NO ..
or that is what I usually think when some project comes to a close...

But not this time, this time I allowed myself the time to weave them in not jet starting the next BIG thing and they seemed to disappear on their own ... as I spent those hours patiently working on hiding them in I found myself wondering about a lot of things ... one of those obviously was what should be the next thing and why ...

Honey comb variations!

There is a first time for everything ...

I am finally ready to share my latest creation with you ;)
I hope me and my pattern - Honey comb variations - are ready to take on world :P

You can buy the pattern on RAVELRY or ETSY ;)

Make your own stylish blanket/throw!
Each honeycomb starts with a triangle, that gets rounded and then hexagonalized. And then three of these forms a bigger triangle! (sounds way scarier than it is)

Roundabout pie

I saw a pie here ... and fell in love with the idea of arranging the veggies in circles and then I made my own - of course I didn't follow the original instructions. Apparently I take pride in reinventing the wheel. :P

Now after quite a few pies I have a routine set for my own vegetable pie :)

Base:
3 sheets of frozen puff pastry

Filling:
1 egg
160g curd

200g cream cheese (in Latvia the clear choice is "Dzintars" for all of you who doesn't live here .. well I just hope you have something similar in your stores too)

Decoration:   ;)

1 beet (boiled, cut in strips)
2 potatoes (boiled, cut in strips)

2 carrots (boiled, cut in strips)

1/2 zucchini (cut in strips)

100g cheese (cut in strips)

100g sausage (cut in strips)
drop of oil

as you can see - decorations list may
and should vary from pie to pie ;)
