A wool bin

Ten days in France - you remember - "house of renovation"

DH has lots to do - and I have to decide still in the base camp

what to take with me.

My basement cupboard is a rich repository of

old fabrics bought by the kilo in a village in Germany,

Gommersheim. It was there where I started to build my stashes

20 years ago which - by the way - I will never be able to use up in seven lives.

A new basket - very fast to make

But how good - I always find something which goes well with something

else.

Order for the crochet yarn skeins

I took with me colourful crochet yarn - cotton

The mouse

and started to crochet little things.

The mouse in grey - I found those figures in internet

The chicken

The chicken is brighter - and thank you "Attic24" for this

tutorial

The monster

And I love the monster - I found everything in internet -

At Ravelry they call it ugly bunny....

  3. Cute creatures. I made my box initially at 18" X15" and so it turned out big. I thought that's what my daughter wanted. I will give it to her at Easter. Thanks for the link and yes, it was super easy. I shall be making more - but a bit smaller I think.

  5. Sometimes I don't want to open the cupboard to look at my stash - I have much more than I have time for!
    You have made good use of some fabric for the beautiful wool-bin. Enjoy your time in France and be busy making more lovely toys.

  7. I wrote a comment and Google disappeared it. My stash of fabric is embarrassing. Maybe I need to do some of these fabric bins (and lots of other things) your little crochet items are very cute. I love the work the lady does on Attic 24
