DIY: Poison Apples

EN

Why hello long-time-no-DIY from me! It's been awhile since my last one and I am happy that I have finally come up with something new today. I know Halloween is still a month+ or so but preparation is key to a successful festivity right?

For this years Halloween I have come up with crochet apples. Poison crochet apples to be specific like the one Snow White and they are fluffy with bold and daring colors. Please dare to crochet them!

Hoi, sorry voor de lange afwezigheid van mijn DIY's. Mijn laatste DIY was ergens in juli alweer en ben daarom heel blij om een nieuwe DIY aan jullie te presenteren vandaag. Halloween begint pas over een maand+ en iedereen weet dat goede voorbereiding pré is. Begin lekker vroeg dus!

Dit keer heb ik gehaakte appels voor jullie in petto. Giftig gehaakte appels om specifiek te zijn, net als uit `t verhaal van Sneeuwwitje! Deze appels zijn heerlijk pluizig met felle en gedurfde kleuren. Probeer ze alstublieft uit!

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break. And like always it takes some time to adjust, to get my inner work engine warmed up again and like always take a deep breath. It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post.

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten. En natuurlijk ook heerlijk uitslapen hoort erbij maar de laatste tijd ben ik super productief geweest met haken. Mijn meest recente werkjes - het bladerdeeg/br...
