Crochet love
I was introduced to crochet by a friend of mine many years ago and from the moment I picked up a crochet hook I fell in love with the process…

I was looking at my Facebook timeline and realized that today was the day that one year ago I had put my website online and the whole CLAUDINE & COMPAGNIE little adventure started…gosh! I was soooo nervous.
I remember on how it all begun…I had bought a couple of table cloths on a flea market and with one sewing machine that my boyfriend had lent me I started putting into forms all the ideas that I had - It just shows that you can do many things with very little to start up with. It was so exciting!
(sewing machine lent by my boyfriend, did the job for a while )
Super exciting day!
I have just received the parcel from Lucille for our new project. Lucille Michieli and I have been working on a new product which will be launched in September! Lucille has been doing the illustration work and it is the most beautiful thing ever! Now it’s my turn to deal with the sewing… : )
This week wrap up
This week I have been working on new products for September. Although it has been strange having to think of cold and winter times when days are hot, I actually truly enjoyed picking up my crochet hooks and prototype some lovely new things.
It did make me think though about fashion designers who always work so much in advance (as far as two years!) and also how much of a pressure it must be for them to always think of the next thing…
Luckily I do not function like that and hopefully I will find a rhythm that will allow me to keep creative and keep doing what I enjoy so much: making.
On that thought have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Something is on the way… ; )
