crochet gifting

One day I strolled into my favourite secondhand shop, Matchbox, to show my friend, Irma, a owl hat I had crocheted for my friend Adrienn's baby photography business, Baby Tale. Irma loved it so much that she commissioned one for herself...only, it were to be in soft pastelly pinks, should have a flower and need not look like an owl:) Off course, now I had to find a pattern that would fit an adult... and I did, well, it fits! I found one right here. I changed the pattern to suite my friend's needs and she just loves it, yay! It makes me so happy when people get all excited over something I've made them...

...and just in time for winter which is right around the corner<3

Autumn is here...

Oh, dear! I'm so sorry that I didn't post my Outfit L.O.V.E. on Tuesday... We were on the road back from George, after spending the Easter weekend with Dave's parents.  It was quite the chilly weekend, rainy with the wind blowing like crazy and just freezing weather. Now we're back and it seems the turn of the season had snuck up on us over night... This outfit love is a perfect Autumn outfit and the orange is so fitting as the leaves start to change colour.

Ps. I made this Squirrel from a pattern I found here.

Ah, I felt like pastels today...

So.... I woke up this morning and felt like wearing pastels. After a bit of digging, I decided to put on the following:

• Dave gave me the butterfly ring as part of a "lucky packet" Christmas gift three years ago
• The "B" brooch I bought from my most favourite little second hand shop in Hermanus, Matchbox
• This beautiful vintage blouse, I found at Rotary Ann's charity shop, in town. I absolutely adore this fabric design
• I love my trio of OddOneOut necklaces, the rainy cloud necklace is R95 each, the pearl drop necklace is R80 and the three step pearl necklace is R90 and they're all available at MishMash
• The braid bracelets I made from a Pinterest DIY
• My stripy shorts are from Mr. P
• My grey gladiator sandals are also from Mr. P

these colours make me feel like Spring even thought our Autumn has just begun<3

Ebony&Ivory have the most beautiful selection of ribbons! Their website is just as pretty, I often find myself browsing through there just for the heck of it. Luckily for me, I ran out of ribbons and had to order some more... Don't you just love getting a package in the mail?

 Aren't they just lovely?
