Hi, this is our latest project - egg caps for Easter done as crochet-designs. Make sure you don't miss the "instructions" when downloading the design.

Because some might have missed it: The email address is DESIGN_@_TAVERNMAKER_._DE but WITHOUT the _-characters. Sorry, I haven't made that clear before.

Bellissimo!!!!!!!

Wonderful idea!

Very pretty. *4U

I am a newcomer to this site and i find all the info and designs a delight i seem to be sitting at th computer half the day and the other half sewing thank you everyone.

pretty design ~linda~

I made a small donation a few weeks ago, as a thank-you for a the wonderful designs. It wasn't a lot, so hopefully when people here see the huge increase in volume it will make them realize you need some help with the cost of running your site. :)

Oh these look very classy :-)
I just love the colour you choose for them

A bit more on the "crash" of our homepage.
Normally, we recieve between 400 and 2000 download-requests a day on our site. This weekend, we had a dayly download-volume of 65000 (!). I don't know why at the moment, but my best guess is, that the link was posted on a mailing-list on which the site wasn't known so far, and all downloaded all our designs right away... As a result, our monthly-download limit which we pay for was exceeded, and we have to pay for each MB on top of it, practically trippling the cost for April already. We thus immediately took it offline today and will cautiously open it again in May.

However, as we've "promised" the Easter-design to Cuties, I'm willing to send this design per email to anyone contacting me by email (design @ tavernmaker . de) until the page is up again. But please be patient - I've a lot of other work to do right now and I won't be online from Friday onwards.

Hello bejoscha. I sent an email a day ago and I wrote your address in lowercase. Hope I sent it to the correct place. LOL. Happy Easter again! :)

As promised, we've now put the designs (and an instruction PDF) online on our homepage.

Oh! We've been away for just 2 weeks and "something" happened, because our web-traffic volume has reached 4 times the monthly average in only 5 days! As a result, our webhosting costs "exploded" >c( and we are forced to take down our homepage at least for the rest of April! I will have to look into it in more detail, but am unlikely to find time to do so in the next few days. Sorry about that.

Not from our homepage, sorry.
