A happy update!

Hello !

How are you today? How was your weekend?

I want to begin this post by thanking you for all your sweet messages concerning the Christmas socks πŸ™‚ woooow you are so sweet and I am really really happy that you liked the little socks and that some of you are crocheting some or did even crochet already some πŸ™‚ This makes my soul sing with joy ! Thank you from the bottom of my heart πŸ™‚

And I want to say welcome to all the new followers πŸ™‚ Welcome to Le monde de Sucrette… My blog is yours πŸ™‚ (Here in Lebanon when we want to say welcome to somebody we say in Arabic: My home is yours)

Today, even though it is very dark I managed to take some pics to show you some progress I’ve made to my ripple and show you my latest painting too…

With what shall I begin?

Let’s begin with my painting : It is called : Flowers in a pitcher

Yes, yes more flowers (I think it is the only subject I can paint πŸ™‚ )

It is smaller than Flower power and the flowers are a little different … but the spirit is the same (haha)

Here you can see both paintings…yes I painted in light blue the background of flower power and it transformed it totally I can say πŸ™‚ I’ve made flowers in a pitcher’s background in light pink… My husband suggested a black background but I did not dare …

My paintings are not something really wow but I love them…too much πŸ˜€ and the therapeutic and calming effect painting gives me is unbelievable … you should try it πŸ˜‰

Hope I am not bothering you with these…I’ve already began a third one (a much smaller one ) and I can’t wait to show it to you πŸ˜‰

and now back to crochet πŸ™‚

Here too, mixing colors is sooo therapeutic πŸ™‚ Don’t you want to jump into that pic?

Don’t you feel the softness of Ripple of happiness just by looking at this pic?

Mmmm this blanket is giving me such pleasure to crochet that I don’t want to finish it at all (It is the first time I am not in a hurry to finish a crochet project )

It is so warm and cosy that it is a huge pleasure to snuggle under while crocheting stitch after stitch in the cold November evenings…

I’ll leave you with this last pic (my favorite pics are close up ones) and wish you a beautiful day filled with sunshine in your heart (the weather is not helping that much in my part of the world… don’t know in yours πŸ™‚ )

Kisses,

Sucrette

    Ah, it’s Monday and here you are in my Inbox waiting to brighten my world with you happy words and colour-filled pictures. I thank you πŸ˜€
    Your flowers are as beautiful as the previous ones. The colours more subtle, but definitely just as beautiful πŸ˜€
    Ooh, those ripples, now your talking, lol. Soft, ripply, ripplesomeness that just cries out for snuggling. The colours sing out for more of the same. I’m looking forward to seeing it progress into a hUge snuggly.
    Enjoy the rest of your day & may your week be just as happy & bright.

    Oh MY Angie!! These paintings are beautiful!!! and you are not ‘bothering’ us at all with them. Quite the opposite!! They are, like all your beautifully coloured crochet, spirit lifting!! πŸ™‚
    The perfect tonic for a dreary Monday morning. Yes the days here in the far north of Scotland are a lot darker just now and will get a lot darker before 21 December when it will start to get lighter. Roll on Spring!!! Ellyx

    Fabulous Paintings and absolutely gorgeous ripples. The colours are so vibrant and definitely brighten up a dull rainy morning in Ireland πŸ™‚

    I just love how your crochet work and your paintings reflect the bold and fun colors that you gravitate towards. By your artwork, I can tell that you are a fun and cheery person! Well done!

    The weather here is aweful. Around 0 degrees Celcius, so absolutely freezing cold! And there’s fog, like, all the time. I live high up in an apartmentbuilding but the view’s totally ruined by the fog πŸ™
    Thank God for crochet to uplift our spirits! πŸ˜‰ Your paintings are just so, so awesome! I want to hang them all on my walls πŸ˜€
    xo,
    wink

    The paintings are so beautiful. Definitely puts a smile on my face. They would be beautiful greeting cards. The ripple is ripply goodness. Makes me want to snuggle. Thanks for all the inspiration you provide.

    Your blanket is beautiful, and I also love the color of the wall behind your couch and the flowers on the lampshade — and the telephone!

    Hello! Firstly thanks for the little sock pattern – I made one at the weekend and am thinking of making 10 in Xmas green and red to make a bunting type thing to hang across my mantel this Xmas!! Will let you know how I get on. Your ripple blanket is gorgeous! I am just about to start one myself but have just finished a knitted blanket for the young daughter of a friend. If you have a chance, please have a look at it on my blog http://www.myhouseinafrica. blogspot.com as I would LOVE to hear your comments. Thanks for a great blog. lol x

    Hello! I stumbled upon your blog through a happy accident an fell in love with your kaleidoscope blanket! I’m actually halfway done
    with squares for my own version! Though much smaller than your’s. I love your paintings and your ripple! I’m also rippling along with Lucy and the gang, mine is on hold until Christmas presents are made. I cannot wait to make some of your precious little Christmas socks to hand out to the neighbors. Thank you for your kindness!

    Do you sell paintings? Or do you mind if I paint something similar for my bedroom?

    I think the paintings and the crochet are so lovely!
