Crochet class – Flower motifs chair mat 1 –

After maybe 6 months of absence, I had some mamas coming over and held a crochet class at home. The theme was “flower chair mat”. I love this pattern and many of those who saw the actual mat, they gave me some compliments 🙂

I usually prepare yarns that we use in a lesson, but this time, I’ve asked them to bring their favorite colors. Just as color references, I picked up photos online and showed these samplings to them. It’s interesting how the atmosphere completely changes just by colors!!

What they brought were completely different than those reference picture above, but I can’t wait to see how they will look like in the end 😀 The next lesson will be in 3 weeks and I hope everyone will finish making the flower motifs in time ♡

Crochet Coaster Workshop with babies!!

I’ve had another workshop on making coasters and I’ve got many cuties today!!
They look really cute, but I guess the little babies’ world isn’t so easy either…!! Ouch, the smallest one is crying…!!

 

Mommies had so many tasks to do at the same time… learning crochet skills, taking care of their babies and enjoying talking!! What multi-talented ladies they are!!!

 

Creating things by yourself is really fun 🙂 Slowly but surely, you are making something just by making knots one by one.

 

Sometimes, there is the moment when nobody talks and everyone is just concentrating on their works…!! I love the chatting but I love the completely quiet moment as well!!!

 

Hemp is a difficult material to work on, so we needed to take a break 🙂

 

Then, finally we’ve made them !!!

 

Aren’t they beautiful?? As Audrey Hepburn once said “I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls” ♡

 

Creating something by hand with your love can bring you a lot of happiness!!! If you have some spare time, why don’t you try to be happier with what you do? 😀 I hope tomorrow will be another happy day♡

Coaster Workshop – Mastering basic crochet skills :)

I held a crochet workshop and we made coasters with jute. Jute is a kind of difficult materials to work with, but I love the outcome!!

 

Everyone worked so well!! I’m glad that everyone mastered how to work on a circle. Can you see that she is calculating stitches and making her own patterns?

 

Filled with laughter, we enjoyed crocheting, chatting and drinking cups of tea 🙂

 

We worked for almost 4 or 5 hours!

 

Then, we’ve got them!!!

 

Well done, ladies ♡♡♡

Crochet Cafe♡ Hair Bow – part 2- :)

On Friday, I held a crochet workshop for a different group of ladies 🙂

Our theme was the same with the last crochet cafe, “hair bows”. This time, it’s all started with one facebook message which I’ve got from a lady. She wrote to me that she wanted to make a hair bow for her 1-year-old daughter! How nice ♡ I liked the idea ♡

Everyone chose their favorite color of yarns, and we started working on it.

 

After working for a while, we took a break. It’s been very hot these days, but we had a hot tea 🙂 Hot drinks work well both physically and mentally. We chose “SOHO” by Harney and Sons this time. I really like the flavor ♡ The sweet flavor always makes me relax 🙂

 

I had prepared healthy treats the day before the workshop. Can you notice the bow shape on the cakes??

 

We enjoyed the relaxing break time ♡

 

After the tea break, we knew more about each other. I could see that everyone looked so relaxed and enjoyed working on crochet as well as chatting ♡

 

Three out of five ladies were moms. So, there were cute little ones!! How cute!! They looked enjoying exploring around the room! 😀

 

Doesn’t she look like Virgin Mary…?? ♡

 

After working, we got bows!! From the back 🙂

 

TA-DA—!!! From the side!! I like this posing ♡

 

One lady made two bows while some others were still working on their first one !! Super fast!! One is a hair band, and the other one is a barrette 🙂 I like them both ♡

 

Her color coordinate was excellent!!!

 

“Say cheese ♡”

 

I like this picture 🙂 Maybe they are talking like this… 🙂

*Girl: “Yeahhhhh ♡ I’ve got my own hair bow which my mom made with lots of love in!!”
*Boy: “Mommy, where’s mine??”

We came up with the idea of making a bow tie for baby boys, so I hope he will get his bow sometime soon 🙂 ♪♪

 

I’m now super happy that my friend had sent me a message on facebook!! Without that, I was probably doing something different that day and I might have never met her…!! We had so much fun together and I hope to know more about each other 🙂 ♡

 

I’ve learnt that when you think of something, it’s really important to take an action no matter how small it is. The small action makes the big difference in the end. Do you know that you will actually get bigger feeling of regret when you didn’t do “the thing” compared to the feeling you get after you did it. It’s easy not to take any actions and just to see how it goes, but if you are thinking about something, I think you should do it.

With the one step, you will be one step closer to your dream 🙂 ♡ Grab your chance and be happy ♡♡♡

Crochet cafe♡ Hair Bow :)

Today, I held a crochet workshop at home 🙂

I called it “crochet cafe” because I wanted all the participants to feel relaxed with some cups of tea and sweets and have fun while working on crochet 🙂

Our theme for today was hair bows. The first task for everyone was to chose yarn. This is one of the fun parts 🙂

We chatted a lot but sometimes we were completely quiet… making lots of knots 🙂

 

After working for 2 hours, we had some sweets with a glass of tea 🙂 A carrot jelly with fresh mint leaves which I picked from my mint pot!!

 

After a break, ladies finished their works!!! TADA!!!

HOW DO THEY LOOK ? 🙂  ♡

 

These two elegant hair bows were made by one lady 🙂

 

Another lady even made 3 bows in a day although it was her first time to crochet!! Great jobs 🙂

 

This gray & pink bow is unique but cute!!!

 

I like the red bow as well 🙂 This back shot reminds me of Kiki from “Kiki’s Delivery Service”… 😀

 

Even a baby boy wears a bow!!! 🙂

 

Here is another photo of this baby boy with a “Doraemon” beanie 🙂 I’m super happy that he wears it so cute!!

 

After the workshop, we had a nice healthy lunch which other ladies prepared and brought to my house 🙂

 

Yummy!!!

 

It was really a nice day 🙂

I hope all the ladies enjoyed crocheting and got addicted to it ♡

 

I know that you can’t stop smiling in such a good day!! SMILE A LOT ♡♡♡
