a day in the desert

On the on last day of MM2021 another exciting highlight: Scarabeo camp!

A daytrip to the stone desert with a fabulous Moroccan lunch in the shade of a berber tent. Imagine a charming bivouac with original berber tents and a view to completely unwind. You don’t often find yourself at such magical surroundings that it makes you wonder… Is this a movie set? The light, changing skies and views are astonishing!

Well we didn't just have lunch and laze all day long of course... While enjoying the 'lunar landscape' we were also creative and the xs woodwoolstools we brought with us, were dressed with unique handmade outfits, all with their own style.

And the pool side was the most perfect setting for a cool crochet catwalk at the end of the day.

What a splendid Scarabeo day...

'his' baby blanket

I made a simple natural blanket for Pippa's baby. Made with love in her style and favorite color, matching their baby room.

You can find the CROCHET PATTERN in my Etsy shop. Easy level with crochet chart, tips and tricks.

And the photo is made in 'our' baby room on the attic with Pippa's baby doll Mees in the bamboo crib hahaha...

dressed identically

The prototype (my first woodwoolstool anno 2007) and the latest size cute mini stool, identically dressed.

I've made a new checkered cover for the prototype.

Photographed together for the occasion in front of the painting in our bedroom.

The checkered mini stool was sold immediately after the pre-announcement on Wednesday.

Thanks for all your nice comments on the Instagram posts.

xs woodwoolstool - checkered crochet cover

A new xs woodwoolstool design in size cute!

The moroccan stool is handmade of eucalyptus wood from Essaouira.

I made a brandnew cover, with white and pastel colors of the softest moroccan yarn, for the handmade mini-stool.

The checkered crochet cover is inspired on my favorite old Vans and I'm in love with it!

The xs stool is perfect for toddlers, the nursery, as a footstool and you can even use it as a small (bedside) table.

Toddlers love this piece of furniture! They can drag this size-cute stool anywhere themselves.

Have a look at the size-cute xs woodwoolstool collection in my ETSY SHOP, this checkered cutie will be available from Saturday 9th of May.

habitat, make it yours

I've spent more time at home in November than I did over the past half year. I'm a 'summer person' and I love playing in my garden and being outside. Inside the house I'm surrounded by just a few (big) plants and interior is getting more important to me.

Interior is an extension of your personality. That's what makes it so interesting and creative. Your interests, personal stuff collected over the years and being surrounded by things that are important to you. Certainly during the autumn and winter months, your habitat has to be a place where you can relax and really charge.

Well this time of year is fine too and I've been looking forward to spend more time at home, reading, watching movies, netflixing and finally finish the unfinished projects and find time to be creative and start new projects.

While the golden xs woodwoolstool cover is still in progress, I already have ideas about what to make next...

i'm size cute

A new collection of xs woodwoolstools, in size cute!

The moroccan stools are handmade of eucalyptus wood and I made 5 unique crochet stool covers. Traditonal ones, like the very first woodwoolstools. I also made a golden, ecru with gold and a multicolored one in linen stitch.

The xs stools are perfect for toddlers, the nursery, as a footstool and you can even use it as a small (bedside) table.

Toddlers love it, they can drag this xs stool anywhere themselves and it will be their favorite piece of furniture in no time.

high atlas traditions

Roadtrip to the Atlas Mountains. Destination Kasbah Bab Ourika. Cool crochet project on a higher level, literly.

After arrival we first have a super delicious lunch with an amazing view on the red valley. Actually, you're not going to get it any better and later on you just want to relax in the beautiful garden or to swim, laze and crochet...

According to a cc workshop tradition, we bring the big wool baskets on our roadtrip to the mountains, to make a cover for the xs woodwoolstools. Better known as suitcase size stool, because everyone can bring it home in the suitcase 'easily'.

At the end of the day I'm always amazed, how different all the handmade stool covers turned out. Love to see how every stool has it's own style in whatever way, using the same pattern. However, we completely forgot to take a group photo with our covered mini stools.

Kasbah Bab Ourika days are simply the best to end a wonderful workshop week full of adventures with cheerful, creative and lovely women.
