It's unbelievable how many of you have joined
And even better:
The first scrumbles
arriving Prudence Mapstone
are the works of Gwenda & Jenny!
Both are living in Australia
& so the postway to Prudence is quite short
but anyway:
I was so happy when I could read about your
attempts on the blog!
Here is Gwenda's gorgeous scrumble:
...and here you can see Jenny's beautiful scrumble!
...and some other works are on their way to Australia!
Haha, will be gorgeous to see all our
Flower-Power-Puzzle-Pieces together
in the wallhanging Prudence will create!!!
Some things have made me really happy during
the last weeks:
Ria of Feathers and dragons
has created a bright coloured bird
& she has named this beautiful work after me!
This is Julia!
I'm so honoured
because I just adore her project!
Thank you Ria,
you are a shining star! xxx
I also have to speak out a huge "THANK YOU!"
to my friends of Crocheters Anonymous!
Last year, before I got into this too-much-state
I've joined Crocheters Anonymous!
I was really happy about it
& as a yarnbomber it was such a great thing
to become an administrator
(Together with Sonia of StoryMakers - Portuguese Urban Crafts)
I wasn't a great help at all!
I couldn't manage my own pages anymore
because I just didn't have time while I was
in the job programme
& I was so under pressure
with coming back to life & reality
that I needed to escape from the online world for a while.
I was just scared to fall back into depression
when I have too many things to manage.
I'm back on my feet
& I'm happy to have friends in this crochet world like
Pamela & Sonia.
No words of criticism
because of my absence...
Pamela, thank you so much for your understanding
& your lovely words! xxx
And Sonia, thank you sooo much
for being so kind to invite me to
the "5 days - 5 artists" challenge
& to become a future CAL friend!
Can't wait to see your version grow! ;-)
You are gorgeous
& I'm feeling as a part of Crocheters Anonymous
even I really can't support you
the way we have planned it last year!
xxx
What else to write?
Maybe something less emotional?
Haha, I'm still addicted to Nanas! ;-)
That's my I-don't-wanna-wear-a-swimsuit-Nana!
I didn't post her naked on my page for several reasons
but 2 of you Ladies have received it in a message!
We have quite celebrated her
& so I declare:
Every single member of the CAL Club
can send me a message
if you wanna see her completely! ;-)
All other people have to go to Aria's
Nasty & Crafty group in facebook...
...even she is NOT nasty
but a real pretty natural lady!!! :-)
Haha, time is working against me
so I better come to the greetings!
♥♥♥
My "Thank you!"
to all my lovely CAL Club members!
40 CAL friends now, a reason to celebrate!
(...best wishes to our secret members, too!)
Lovely greetings to Roberta,
I hope you are feeling fine!
If you are crocheting a Nana
please show her to me! ;-)
Haha: Jodie, your Sophie's Universe CAL is such a beauty!
There are so many different colour choices to see
in the groups & on crochet pages
but your version is my fave!
Will go on with growing mine after the blogpost!
Greetings to my CAL friend Ulrike in Austria!

wonderful conversations!

Jacqui of Hooky Delights. -always a pleasure to visit your page!
Such a gorgeous crochet style!
And Denise of Wickedcrochet (also here on Etsy)!
So many people have celebrated
your brother-in-yarn!
It was a fantastic idea to
recreate a poet
- David J. Daniels -
in yarn instead a single poem!
I'm sure he is as proud about it
as you can be proud about him!
I could only read one single poem of him so far
but I'd love to read more!
Here you can find a link to his recent book "Clean"!
And: Our only gentleman Alex!
He isn't only a master in the kitchen
but also such a talented crocheter!
A real prince, isn't he?
;-)
Lovely greetings to Lisa of Knotty Girl Yarn Art!
Your page is full with gorgeous & funny things!
So creative!
Haha, Lindy! I would love to see
pictures of your felted dolls!
;-) Greetings from my Nanas!
A thank you to Anne for joining our team!
...ohhh Marijke!
You have crocheted YOUR Personal CAL in such a short time!
I really hope you will continue this adventure!
Just use the following puzzle pieces
for pillows, bags, whatever! Hugs!
And finally:
The presentation of our new Ladies!
& has already grown such a gorgeous
miniature CAL of her first puzzle pieces,
one of my smaller Nanas could use it as a blanket! ;-)
Dada loves pompoms!!!
We have Cathy in our team now
with her amazing taste in blue!
She has also already grown her first 2 puzzle pieces
(Just love this shade!) - Beautiful!
...and Kerry!!!
We are having lots of fun since she has joined us
& this project was already a brilliant excuse
to go yarnshopping!
(Actually we don't need excuses
because we are freeformers:
We just need at least 500
different colours & kinds of yarn
to express our art!) ;-)
Here you can see Kerry's gorgeous growing CAL!
Katherine, Cathy & Kerry:
I wish you a wonderful journey!
Happy to have you in our team now!
But now...new puzzle pieces!!!
The gorgeous Friendship projects of
Gwenda & Saskia:

What's the challenge for our "week" 22?
(Just too funny to call it still weeks, haha!)
I've asked on my facebook page
if someone of you has an idea for future projects
& Saskia has given me an inspiration first!
- And I also got some more ideas,
so I already have topics for "week" 23 & 24! ;-)
What would I do without you,
it's getting harder & harder to find good projects!
Saskia's suggestion was:
"your favorite thing from the sea, a fish or coral"
- so shall it be!
A fish is a great symbol actually
- and it can have different meanings.
For christian members of the CAL Club
it can be a symbol for Jesus Christ,
in many old cultures the fish is a sign
for fertility, in some countries people are wearing
fish amulets for shelter.
In China the fish stands for happiness & wealth!
Haha, for me personally fishes are damn important!
I would love to live next to the ocean
because I just can't get enough of seafood & fishes!
I'm not a meat friend but I couldn't exist without eating fish!
I love fishing as well,
my father took me with him
since I was a little girl
& it's still a great thing for me.
When Saskia offered me this topic
I got immediately a picture into my head:
I love the book "The Rainbow Fish" by Marcus Pfister!
(When I was a child I prefered books for grown-ups
but the older I get the crazier I'm becoming about
books for children!)
I thought the crocodile stitch would be perfect to
recreate the Rainbow Fish!
Tamara of Moogly is offering a great tutorial
if you wanna integrate the crocodile stitch as well:
I've started with 21 stitches as shown in the tutorial
but I wanted to use another colour for every fish scale
so I thought I can just make the base first
to form the main part of the fish:
I love this stitch!
If my time management would have been better
I would have added some small hyperbolic corals
but this is the result of my fish:
Such a pity the pic doesn't show
how much it sparkles!
For the scales I combined acrylic neons
with a tiny silver yarn with funny details in it,
the water is a combination of a soft blue yarn
with fluffy yarn!
Anyway, I like my Rainbow Fish,
the mouth isn't perfect
but what's more boring than perfection anyway?!
Many thanks to my princess Saskia,
it was lots of fun to prepare your inspiration!
The next CAL post comes in 2 weeks! ;-)
♥♥♥
I love to prepare YOUR ideas so let me know
what else you want to have in your CALs!
Stay awesome my princesses & princes,
your friend Dada (or Julia)!!!
♥♥♥
