Yey! Big news, my second video course is already available on Udemy! The course is 40$, but here is a discount coupon for you!

We will learn the following tricky items:

• Puff Flower
• Hibiscus Flower
• Irish Lace Rose
• Corkscrew Spiral
• Irish Lace Button or Pistil
• Irish Lace Leaf

We will practice the elements first with a thicker yarn, and than in the second half, we will assemble the wreath together.
Naturally you can use these items on anything, you don't have to make the wreath itself. You can saw them on a hair-clip, on clothes, on a hat, and the list is never ending. And obviously you can combine the element freely, as you wish!
This course was designed for experienced crocheters, so if you have done my Crochet Basics course, and practiced a little, you are good to go. I will explain everything in the ordinary way you are used to by now, also you will find the Pattern Reading explanations after each item, as well as you can download the patterns as PDFs, attached to the Pattern Reading lessons.
I show you one way of assembling, but you can do anything you wish! For collecting ideas, check for example Pinterest, type - crochet wreath.

If you like the course, please leave a review, this is very very valuable for me, and this way you help me to make more courses (more nice reviews - more sale - more chance to put more effort into course making).
Shall you have any question, suggestion, or would like to send me photos of your creations, I am always very happy to hear from you! You can get in touch with me on Udemy, my FB page or via e-mail.
Enroll quickly, and let`s start to crochet today!

Hello!
I am back here again! It has been very busy straight after Xmas, sorry to be silent for so long. A lot is going on, I try to get them all together for you.
Lets see...

Then I have started to record my new online video course!!
This time it is for experienced crocheters, but if you have finished my starter course, and practiced a bit since, you will be able to do it.
Anyways, a bit of a challenge won't hurt.
In January the weather was pretty awful, there were some days, when I couldn't go out of the house at all, so I really needed some colours, flowers and spring feeling, so I decided to make a crochet floral wreath as a video course.
And again, I make it in English and in Hungarian, but since I am not a voice actor, I need to record it twice... edit it twice... so this is quite a bit of a work, but I don't want to let my dear Hungarian followers down. 

I was contacted by OfCourse.co.uk, a British video course hosting site, that they want my Crochet Basics course on their site. That was a fantastic news, so I didn't hesitate at all, you can find my course there for 49 GBP on the link above.

So these are the major things happened in January, I don't complain at all, the year starts pretty well!
In February I plan to launch the new video course - Floral Wreath - both on Udemy and OfCourse - and of course :) on Webuni - the Hungarian site.
​
And I can start to plan the next one... What should it be about? I was thinking, to make it about granny squares, and how to make a bag out of them... What do you think?
What would you like to learn about?

This is hell of a ride, and I am enjoying every moment of it!!
It has been only a month since I have started really, and I do not have to go back to the office. Since then I went through a lot of phases, and learned a lot with the trial and error way.
First of all, after I recorded the half of the course, I sent a test video to Udemy, and it was not accepted!!! :D
They complained about the voice, and I had to admit, they were right. It took a week, to fix it. We brought in a lot of stuff into the room, covered the floor with fabrics, but what did the real trick, is to cover the table with a white frottir-like sheet, its surface is uneven enough to brake the sound waves, so it doesn't echo... huh...
Now I could restart the whole production! :)
I also learned, after a day shooting, that I cannot shoot the following day, instead I need to stay home to process the whole days material which takes the entire evening. Next day I watch them carefully, make a plan for the day after, and try to fix all the other duties I have otherwise.
Even so, I have managed to be 85% ready with the recording by now.

Now the next steps are:

• editing
• making the opening and closing pictures of the video klips
• preparing the additional materials such as an infograf about the hooks and yarns, or how to join the granny squares together to make a bag out of them...
• prepare the list of the lessons in Udemy and Webuni, for the up-load
• and when all these are set... newsletter. By the way, if you haven't signed up yet, here is the time!! Sign up now here!

Still a lot to do, and a I learn every day, and enjoying this whole thing every day even more!! :)

So, I have made a big decision: I quit my job, and will spend my next three months by doing my Udemy (English) and Webuni (Hungarian) online video tutorial courses, about How to Crochet!
The YouTube films were excercises, and I have learned so much by doing them!

According to this decision, I have started to collect e-mail addresses, for the future newsletters (by the way, If you have not signed up yet, sign up NOW! Click here for the sign up form) 

And here is a werk picture of the process of preparing for the big challenge of the Mailchimp site where I am prepearing my very first newsletter!
The deadline for myself to launch the courses is August. Wish me luck ;)

Looks like it's baby boom :) Another lovely little lady has born to make this world a better place. Her mom is my friend since childhood, actually we know each-other since we were 14 years old (yeah... it's been a while ago ;)), and our friendship last since. A lot has happened to both of us during these years, but this has only made us stronger.
I don't have children, and cannot have anymore due to a sickness. I have asked myself in the hospital back then right after the operation... what will I do when people are having children around me? How will I react? Will I be jelaous? Will I be ignorant?
And my answer was immedate: no. Life will not stop because this has happened to me. And it shouldt. And if I cannot deal with it, it is only my problem, I just simply lock myself out from a lot of joyful moment.
Like it was today. My friend Eszter asked me to make these shoes for her 4 months old Inanna baby girl, you can see the result.
How do you like them?

I have a campaign, to try out different craft techniques. I have been following Judits workshops Facebook posts for fairly long now (more then a year..) and the time has came, I signed in for a weaving day. 
I was weaving when I was small, I mean really small. I was 4 when my sister was born, and I already weaved a scarf for her I remember. I had a toy loom.
All the memories came back. I remembered crystal clear how was the edge of the scarf, that I was wondering how to make it nicer...
This scarf was inspired by the sea. Judit said I am quite talented, but let's be honest, I was kinda sure about that, I would have been pretty disappointed otherwise.
The trick is weaving is the constant effort. So the lines dont get messy. Well, I can see this is not a 100% product, but for a start it is good enough :)
The muse was the sea, hence I was a diving instructor. The greens are the dark green plants, coral, the white, and the blue, shiny blue is the mother of pearl inside... 
There is something magical with weaving, and I needed it very much. I was in hospital in May, and I am still recovering.
So weaving is just the perfect thing to do. While you are working, you get in a meditative state, your mind, your thoughts get in order, while you make order from the mess in the weaving as well.
​Anyhow, I really enjoyed, and will be back again for sure!
