{Pattern of Our Hand Crocheted Kitchen Curtain with Roses}

In a previous post {More of Our Kitchen} I also did show you our Hand Crocheted Kitchen Curtain with Roses. So here I want to share the Pattern.

You can click the hyperlink above...

This is the curtain...

From the Special Burda M 2018 D 32/88 (1988)

At the time that I did crochet this curtain, we were living and working in Indonesia...

Hind sight, I do regret that I did not crochet the double edging and making it a bit longer!

You start off with 30 (40) squares 91 (121) chain stitches + 3 for the first double crochet.

This is it, rather simple for following this. 

One x is 4 double crochet each and the open squares are each with 1 double crochet and 2 chain stitches.

Hope somebody will be able to make use out of this.

I myself might have to crochet it again and also use the double edging!

Thanks for your visit.

{Dahlia with Hibiscus and Clerodendrum Ugandese}

We all LOVE to have some fresh cut flowers from our own garden...

Even if it means only a few of them!

On our kitchen table... on June 12.

To the left you see a beautiful Dahlia, to the right a Hibiscus syriacus 'Blushing Bride' that came straight from Our Life in Italy!
In the center, top and bottom is our special Clerodendrum Ugandese or Blue Butterfly Bush.

Husband Pieter also captured them with his camera...
Yes, that Hibiscus syriacus 'Blushing Bride' has a very special story which you can read from link below blog, about our life in Italy.
We are thrilled that we still have it after all those years!

And again and you can see the sunshine that twinkles in the tiny vase.
The Clerodendrum Ugandese came from +Logee's Greenhouses in Connecticut

The Clerodendrum Ugandese or Blue Butterfly Bush flower a bit more in detail...

Together they just made a beautiful and very sweet vase!

Do you love to bring in some home grown flowers?

Our climate is very harsh so we never yield a lot...

Thanks for your visit!

{Pot Plants onto Patio with John Deere Helper}

On March 20, this is how all our Pot Plants got placed back on the Patio, with the John Deere Helper...

It is quite heavy for transporting those Pot Plants otherwise!

Pieter does have a knee problem, worn out cartilage, and this little 4-wheel Utility Cart  behind the John Deere is a great helper!

Unloading the Utility Cart...

Now delivering to the front patio...
How pleasant the spring period is!
Longing for cooler days now...

Thank you for your visit and wishing you a peaceful weekend!
