If you do not live close to the sea and still want to get the beach feeling in your home, then it is nice to get started with it yourself. I will give you some ideas on how you can make nice decorations for your home with your crocheted creations around the theme of beach and sea.
My husband and I regularly go to the coast. For example, during the summer holidays we sometimes go to the beach for a week. I grew up in Den Helder (The Netherlands) and every year I have to go to the beach and the sea. Just hear, see, feel and smell the sea! But if you've been following me for a while, this is old news!
It's hard to believe, but I thought it would be nice to tell a little more about some members of my CB's Creations Family. And the first one I thought of was my Farmer Hank. It turns out that I already made the pattern of Farmer Hank in 2017! This charming Farmer Hank simply deserves a tribute!
I regularly post a question on my Facebook page. Of course it is about crocheting with the appropriate name: Yarn Topics.
Of course, you as a crochet fanatic know exactly what is meant by a crochet along! But if you haven't been crocheting for that long, you may never have heard of a crochet along. So if you are wondering what a crochet along is when reading the title, I have a nice blog ready for you to read a detailed description of what a CAL is, as it is also called. What is a crochet along?
I will take you behind the scenes of a crochet along from CB's Creations. In the 8 years that CB's Creations has been around, I have already organized a CAL 7 times before.
Have you seen them? Those super nice and handy Beach Houses? Great help to store your crochet hooks and more in the shape of a Beach House!
For me, colour and creativity go hand in hand! Often I already know which colours to choose when I have an idea in my head. I always make a drawing or sketch of a design so I can write the colours down. The basic colours are already known, it is still about the matching colours of, for example, for the shoes or a bag.
Of course, the clothing of your crocheted doll is very important for the appearance of the creation, but just as important is the hair! A certain hair colour and the right hairstyle can really bring an amigurumi creation to life. My own Franklin Forge, on the other hand, has no hair, he goes through life bald and that really suits him!
If you've ever read my previous blogs, you know that I can get my inspiration from anywhere and nowhere. This also applies to my creations Funny Guy and Funny Girl, although I stay close to home, I get my inspiration from my bookcase! In my blog: From Idea to Creation I take you into my thoughts twists and turns!
Miss Straw Berry Shake was created because I was cleaning up and organizing my hobby stuff. Sometimes I keep things that I don't know what I'll do with them at the time or that I'll ever do something with. But you never know, right!?!
