I made these cute, kitschy rose hearts as a gift. They are also very suitable as Christmas decorations :-)

Here I used the leftover material from Copper Roses; attached the satin ribbon, stuffed it and the hearts were done.

As a bonus there are two mini hearts made of steampunk fabric, which I will probably keep for myself ;-)

Just in time for the 1st Advent, I have a little kitschy decoration for you that is also ideal as a Christmas decoration, th Decorative Hearts.

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas time with continued beautiful snowy landscapes :-)

Yours,

Actually, a report from this year’s Anno 1900 Steampunk Convention in Luxembourg should follow here, including a new costume.
Instead of that, there is a small crochet work from 2021 to see, the Purple Spiderweb Top.

This small work was presented in a big way in another great shoot with Olaf Pinn .
Thanks for the great pictures :-)

Yours,

This top is the more elegant version of the tops made of cut-off tights, which I used to wear with gothic outfits, the wearing comfort is very similar.

In addition, the dark violet is a daring splash of color for such deep black, goth outfits ;-)

For this top, a pattern from the book “Colorful Crochet Lace” by Mary Jane Hall was once again my template. I crocheted the cape as in the pattern and then simply added sleeves in the same pattern. It took me a few tries to find the right places where the sleeves needed to be tightened, but the top was still ready in one day.

Ten years ago I was allowed to be part of the Machina Nostalgica, the first German steampunk exhibition in the Kreismuseum Prinzeßhof in Itzehoe!
I got to meet so many wonderful, creative and talented people and host my first opening weekend fashion show.
At this point a big thank you again to my great, beautiful models Raja, Jasmin, Josepha, Lea and Swenja, and of course also to the hairdresser Marlies and for the invisible but indispensable help in the background to my dear friend Sandra!

The small film contribution to the opening weekend can still be found at: Steampunk Exhibition Machina Nostalgica.

It was a wonderful time and I like to think back on it often :-)

Reminiscing… yours

This is the crochet scarf that goes with my boots ;-)

But seriously: tango, flamenco or Victorian dresses, somehow this beautiful piece is an all-rounder.
Now I just have to have more of this color, which is rather untypical for me, but the Mermaid Earrings are a good start ;-)

And again crochet stuff, but a work from this year: The Victorian Mermaid Lace Shawl, which I made to match my great new boots :-)

My sewing projects are progressing slowly – I don’t have the right fabric and I’m running out of time until Anno 1900…

But the next big crochet project is already in the starting blocks ;-)

Let’s see what I have to show next…
Yours,

I found the crochet pattern for this magical shawl in the purerainbowmadness shop on Etsy. I followed the pattern exactly and dutifully also followed the final blocking instructions. Wow! Why didn’t I do this with all the crochet pieces?!?
The result is so wonderful that I will always do it from now on! Learned something again ;-)

…and yes, I actually chose the color of the wool after my boots ;-)
