Say hello to KIRA! Kira can be seen from afar by her long scarlet colored scarf - so the koalas sometimes call her the “Red Kira”. In her spacious pouch she keeps everyday things and her impressive collection of antique cushion springs - and of course her baby kangaroo feels most at home here. After a furious victory in the shadow boxing championship, the two prepare themselves for the world championship in long-jump. Kira is approximately 10,5 inches tall. She is made out of cosy 4 ply tweed, cotton wool and love. For your little kangaroo you can use every yarn you prefer - she’s getting taller or smaller but she’s always really cute! I wrote this crochet pattern for beginners too and I tried to be very detailed in my descriptions. I also included some charts to explain what to do. for ERRATA check www.lalylala.com

I have always been drawn to vintage linens. To me, they make things feel comfortable. The work that went into them is astonishing. In the 60s, every house we went to had doilies on every surface: lamp

In the past few weeks I have read a couple of great posts on vintage gloves. Jessica at Chronically Vintage is a frequent glove wearer, matching them with her fantastic outfits and looking super stylish. She wrote this fab post on the etiquette of glove wearing which is really useful if you want to find out more about the types of gloves that go with different outfits. Then over at Retro Rover Kate wrote a lovely post about the changes in gloves from the 1920's onwards, illustrated with some pictures of her own glove collection and marvellous outfits. I really enjoy looking at the different ways in which people accessorise their outfits and I always think that gloves make an outfit look incredibly elegant. I don't wear them myself as I have never found any that fit my man hands! Gloves can be made from many materials: leather, suede, fur, felt, tweed, wool and cotton. They can be stitched from fabric or knitted or crocheted. Unsurprisingly, in my small (ahem!) pattern collection I do have some for vintage gloves and I was motivated to seek them out after looking at the gloves of Jessica and Kate. I thought you might like to see them. This 1940's pair are so fine and fancy! I like the frilly cuffs. I think they might count as occasion wear. Also, look at that hat and dress! I love this outfit! This 1940's pair are similar but a little more sturdy, perhaps more for every day wear. I like the longer length cuffs. I wish we could see a little more of what looks like a potentially marvellous hairstyle! I think this monochrome pair are pretty amazing, it looks so effective. Whilst this colour combination is probably the most practical in that it would go with anything, you could make them in many colour combinations to match specific outfits. Nice cuffs again! I love the delicate lace pattern of crosses on this pretty 1950's pair. They really are elegant. Nice hat too! If you are doing an outfit post with gloves you need to make sure that you copy this pose! Back to the 1940's with these lovely lace gloves, another gorgeous stitch pattern and great hair. These gloves are knitted. I like the relatively plain fingers with the lace pattern backs. Looking at these patterns provides lots of outfit inspiration and styling ideas. Some great poses and props too, find yourself an old telephone quickly! Are you inspired to add a pair of vintage gloves to your outfit? I am sharing a pattern here so that you can make yourself a pair if you don't have any. I am sharing the patterns illustrated in the last two images so that you can choose between knitting and crochet. If you make any I would love to see them.

Hold da op! Her var masser af inspiration til de hæklede betræk til bøjlerne hjemme i klædeskabet. Det er jo ikke sikkert, at det er noget for dig med sådan nogle hæklede bøjler, men det utrolige væld af farver, kan da løfte stemningen lidt her i den mørke tid. Har du forresten set alle de bøger, der nu er kommet på hylderne i shoppen? Camilla og jeg har allerede de fleste af Pip Lincolnes bøger, men hendes nyeste bog "Make Hey - while the sun shines" kommer på min ønskeseddel til jul.

Voi kuulkaa, keramiikan polttaminenhan on ihan taikaa! Aivan mielettömän hienoa. Pääsin vihdoin käymään mökillä puoleksi viikonlopuksi ja pistinkin hösseliksi. Ohjelmassa oli esipoltto, lasitus ja varsinainen poltto. Aikamoista hakuammuntaa, mutta isäni totesi, että jos teen näitä vuoden verran, tiedän jo paljon enemmän. Osa on aivan rumia, mutta nekin sellaisia liikuttavia ja osasta tuli minusta varsin hienoja. Firing ceramics is like magic! It's so wonderful. I could finally spend half a weekend at the cottage and this is what I did (among other things). I fired these, glazed and fired again in a wood-burning oven. This time I did not use the sauna oven. I've never done it with the glazes so it was really exciting and I really did not know what I was doing. My dad said that if I continue for a year I'll know a great deal more. So true. Some of these are very ugly, but I do like some very very much. Polttoastiana käyttämäni peltirasia alkaa vedellä viimeisiään ja siitä irtosi pieniä metallihippuja, jotka tarttuivat joihinkin lasitteisiin. Ihan jees efekti minusta. Värit eivät oikein toistu näissä kuvissa, vivahteet jäävät tuohon pöydälle jostain syystä, mutta kyllä näistä jonkin käsityksen saa. Savu vaikutti joihinkin tosi paljon ja toisiin ei juuri lainkaan. The tin box I used is getting broken and there are tiny metal chips stuck in some of the glazes. I like the effect. I cannot photograph these well enough to get the colours as they are, but you'll get the idea. The smoke affected some of these a lot and some not much at all. Tässä vielä pikkuastiat kukkakimpun kanssa kuvassa. Poimin kotiin kukkia, persiljaa, pinaattia, lehtikaalia, salaattia ja minttua sekä pupuille haapaa. Aava nosti perunoita mummun kanssa. Sienessäkin käytiin hirvikärpästen seurassa ja saalista tuli sieltäkin sekä kova hiki. Oli aivan ihanan lämmin päivä. Here's another photo with the flowers I brought home. I also picked parsley, spinach, kale, mint and some aspen branches for the bunnies. Aava harvested some potatoes with my mom. We had time even to hunt for mushrooms in the forests around the cottage. It was a sweaty job as we had the most wonderful late summer day.
