On the hook…

By
May 4, 2012

Good morning sweeties,

I am so thankful for all the lovely comments you wrote concerning my home 🙂 I was so happy reading each word …some made me laugh and some brought tears to my eyes (don’t worry it is my “hormones” 🙂 ) Thank you sooo much! Your comments gave me back confidence about my decorating taste and the colors surrounding me…

You gave me back the joy I needed to live peacefully and happily in my loving home and that’s why I’m so thankful to you…You made me appreciate again my place…You really did a great job 😀 THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!

Today, I want to show you a cushion I’m working on…It is a patchwork cushion crocheted with leftover “Mirage” yarn…

I think my house is full of leftover yarn and I don’t have any ball of yarn that is still totally new 🙂

Mirage is a 100% acrylic yarn worked with a 2.5mm crochet hook. Wanna take a look first to the yarn used ?

Yes, I know, you are like myself a yarn-addict 😉 and you totally love to see yarn pics…  I understand 🙂 hehe

I just love the colors and the softness of “Mirage”.  The only drawback of this is that yarn is very thin (crocheted with a 2.5 mm hook) but it is ok and I try to get used to it…

and this is the cushion I’m working on…mostly finished 🙂

I hope to make also some new covers for the leather stools I have at home with “Mirage” once the cushion is done…

I love these tiny granny squares joined together as-I-go …

What do you think?

I’m off now to take a cup of coffee in my favorite chair surrounded by my favorite colorful cushions and throws 😉

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sending you big big kisses and hugs through this post 🙂

    What a lovely idea Angie your cushions are going to be beautiful. I like to work with finer yarns sometimes it gives such a neat finish. You make it sound so cosy, enjoy your coffee, pity I have to go to work now or I would have joined you lol have a lovely day:)

    woaow ! the older I get, the more convinced I get by strange theories such as this one : colours provide us with a subtle inner psychological energy : not just one bright color by itself but a combination of vivid colours. To this respect, your home is an ideal place ! Another one which you most probably have heard of is the material designer Kaffe FASSETT’s house in England. If you haven’t, treat yourself with another soft (your pregnant ) cuppa coffee, and browse his site (simply type his name) and you’ll be off for a wonderful journey ! I envy you !

    Hola. Te quedará un cojín precioso¡¡¡ Hice una manta de bebé con estos cuadritos y quedó muy bonita, eso me dijo la dueña de la manta.

    Me gusta como ha quedado tu casa con tus cuadros pintados y tus mantas y cojines de ganchillo, se ve tan acogedor¡¡¡

    Que tengas un buen fin de semana.

    I do love granny squares! Sometimes, I really like using a thinner yarn because you can incorporate so much more detail!

    The cushion is very pretty. I love bright colors & mixing them together. You are inspiring me to start crocheting again. The only issue I have is I hate the joining. I love making the squares but hate putting them together. One of the girls at my stitching group has offered to do the joining for me.

  33. Kathy

    Loving the colors in your patchwork cushion! Beautiful!

  34. Lyn Z...
