There are moments in life, when you think you will never, ever do again what you are doing right now. And just a few days later you find yourself in exactly the same situation. Well, for me, doing an Audrey Hepburn hairstyle for a crochet doll was just such a situation. And now, I did it again. But the good news about it is, that this time, I managed to do it in a simpler way. This is why I am ready to share this experience with you. I hope this foto-tutorial will let you enjoy doing the Holly Golightly bun. …
Charity: This little Poirpoise helps to protect his fellows in my hometown
Since a couple of years the poirpoises are returning to my hometown Hamburg. Yes, it is true. Hamburg not only has a wonderful beach, but there are also little wales swimming swiftly at the horizon. Isn’t that idyllic? Well, lets see. The horizon is as charming as it can be in an industrial harbour and there are huge containerships crossing. For the marine mammals that means a lot of noise and of course it is very dangerous. Each year there are increasingly high numbers of wounded or even dead wales found at the beach. So why do they return into …

Free Crochet Pattern: Sally Bowles Doll
When I started my dancing lessons at the age of five, my teacher was just planning a performance she called „Once upon a time in Hollywood“. It was full of Cabaret, Cancan and Americans in Paris. It was back then when I first met Marilyn Monroe, Josephine Baker and Liza Minelli as Sally Bowles. Of course those were the roles for the teens and grown ups. I myself acted as a so called „Mini Girl“ dancing my very first Charleston. Well, from those days on, I did never again lose the interest in the age of the roaring twenties. Today …
Freie Häkelanleitung: Amigurumi Sally Bowles Puppe
Als ich gerade fünf Jahre alt war, meldete meine Mutter mich zum Ballettuntericht an. Meine Lehrerin bereitete zu der Zeit gerade eine Aufführung vor, die sie „Es war einmal in Hollywood“ nannte. Darin wimmelte es nur so von Cabaret, Cancan und Amerikanern in Paris. Hier traf ich zum ersten Mal Marilyn Monroe, Josephine Baker und Liza Minelli als Sally Bowles. Natürlich waren das Rollen für die „Großen“. Ich selbst tanzte damals als „Mini-Girl“ meinen allerersten Charleston auf der Bühne. Seit diesen Tagen ließ mich die Liebe zum Zeitalter der „Roaring Twenties“ nicht mehr los. Diese alte Liebe möchte ich nun …
Free Crochet Pattern: Mermaid
I’ve been trying out some ideas lately, because I desperately wanted to design a crochet doll. Actually, I wanted to do a doll version of Ranja, the Robber’s daughter and I really worked out a prototype. But then, however, I was not happy with her head and suddenly I was sitting in the middle of a bunch of crochet heads, each one worked with a slightly different pattern. Some of them were really quite good and so I did not want to undo them again. In the end, without really knowing how, I had created a merman. I was not …
Freie Häkelanleitung: Meerjungfrau
Ich habe in den letzten Tagen viel herumprobiert, weil ich unbedingt einmal eine Häkelpuppe entwerfen wollte. Eigentlich sollte es eine Ronja-Räubertochter-Puppe werden und tatsächlich habe ich dazu auch zunächst einen Prototyp entworfen. Aber dann gefiel mir der Kopf noch nicht so richtig und eh ich mich versah, hatte ich eine Reihe von Köpfen bei mir herumliegen, mit denen ich jeweils leicht veränderte Muster umgesetzt hatte. Einige davon gefielen mir schon richtig gut und darum wollte ich sie nicht wegschmeißen. Da ich, wie könnte es auch anders sein, Meerjungfrauen als Fabelwesen ebenso mag wie Einhörner – sie sind ja quasi die …
