Some people absolutely love knitting, and even dedicated a whole site to that subject, like allesoverbreien.nl but I'll stick to giving my crocheting classes, for the time being, at least!

A great Etsy Team!
Isn't it great to see how virtual communities work? And make you feel really at home in this huge world?
On Etsy, you can become a member of a team, or of several teams, and share ideas and experiences. I've become a member of three of those teams, and one of those teams is the European Streetteam.
One of the members of that team came up with a great plan: the Spring Fairy Swap. To cut a long story short, this package arrived from Mallorca, Spain!
And it contained several surprises:
And I sent something to a teammember in Belgium:
In grey and pink, because I'd been told those are colours she likes.
So we were all surprised by Santa Claus, sorry, the Spring Fairy!

CAKE POPS
For a change, Tscarf took up a culinary project, the upcycling of a cake. The only difference is that the outcome disappears fairly quickly, at least in my family, haha.
First we had this big chunk of home baked cake:
Which was then crumbled in a bowl:
Some red icing was called for:
The icing and the crumbs were mixed and rolled into balls:
These balls were given a stick, so that they started to look like lolliepops:
And then dipped in chocolate, and..... eaten!

Ten cheers for our local goodwill store!!
STEP 1
Waking up feeling happy because it's Wednesday, which means that the Goodwill Store (aka KOOK Alkmaar) is open.
STEP 2
Finding time and excuses to actually go there, to see if there are any woollen sweaters to be found, as I've just discovered the joy of upcycling sweaters, for a change.
STEP 3
Being lucky and finding two, racing home on my bike to actually put them in the washing machine.
STEP 4
After much thinking, finding out that part of an arm can be turned into a little bag, pouch, purse, whatever you may want to call it, to be used for your public transport card! And with the help of a red T-shirt (well, a tiny part, also found at the KOOK), a ring from a brochure and a button from, again, this great KOOK, it all became this:
