Paintings and more

Good morning,

A BIG BIG thank you from my mum to all of you for your wonderful comments concerning her projects 🙂

Today, I want to show you two small finished paintings…

They are small, quick to make but I enjoyed painting them a lot…

I hope you liked them 🙂

I managed to make some progress on the baby bedspread too even though I’m spending most of my time watching the news… and praying…

The political situation is awful here and we are so afraid of another civil war 🙁

Please do join me in my prayers for my little country ….

Kisses to all!

    Very nice paintings. I loved very much the baby cloths made by your mother. By the moment I crochet my 3rd baby blanket according to your pattern. I wish the best for you and your family

    I just love coming to your blog. Everyday there is something new to enjoy. Your two paintings are beautiful! Thank you for bringing me back to the Granny Square. Your colors are wonderful and I am finding that I am turning to doing more granny patterns in my crochet projects. I have 4 baby blankets to make and they will all be made with The Granny in mind.

    Your paintings are absolutely stunning, what a talent you have. Your crochet is, of course, amazing too. Thinking of you, I had no idea you lived in a country with political turmoil… I had thought you were possibly Greek? but when you’re expecting or have small children the worry multiplies. I hope your creativity can channel some of your worries and add a little bit of peace to every day for you. Why can’t the world “get on” It’s even worse when people in the same country can’t live together, so sad. Fiona (KnitKnatKnotUK)

    I have been wondering if your part of Lebanon is affected by the horrors going on in Syria.Everytime a report is sent from Lebanon I think of you and hope you are as far away as possible from any trouble.Such turmoil must be so stressful for you and I send you much love for an end to all this very, very soon as it is heartbreaking to see so much fear in people and life shouldn’t be like this.
    On a lighter note, I hope your wonderful talents at craft bring you a little distraction and happiness and also know that many people are praying for peace in your area of the world.Take care.Debby.xx

    Oh my, I so hate hearing how stressful and frightening things are for you right now. I didn’t know where you lived until now. My heart and mind are aching for you all, but they will also be full of positive thoughts for you and your family and your country. You are such a lovely person, Angie. Your sweet spirit shows through your blog posts and all your lovely creations! I think it’s quite something special that you’re still creating such beauty in such a stressful time. Please take care.

    You and your situation will be in my prayers. How hard to be looking forward to the joy of a new little one and the unrest of your country. Your work, as always, is so beautiful.

    Hi Angie,

    Je pense très fort à toi et vais prier pour ton pays et tous les Libanais pour que la paix l’emporte !

    Oh Angie, I’m so sorry for what’s been going on with your country. I pray that the dear Lord can show your countrymen the right way to solve thier problems. Try to keep calm, I know it’s hard to do when something like this is on your mind. I was 12 to 14 years old when we had WW2 {world war 2} air raids and such, I had 2 brothers and a sister in the armed service then; Airforce and Navy. Very scary.
    Take care and rest up for the new baby boy.
    Hugs, Flo

    Oh, Angie – My heart aches for you and your lovely family and for your country. I just finished saying a pray and asked that peace will be restored to your country soon. You should only be concentrating now on delivering a beautiful, bouncing, and a healthy baby boy. Turn off your television for the most part of each day and continue to make more granny squares for your baby’s blanket and/or create more beautiful paintings and other crafts to do with your daughters to put around your lovely home. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
    Sending Hugs & Kisses,
    Maggie

    How wonderful! Such a lovely blanket! Hope you and your baby(and your mum and the rest of your family) doing well and hopefully all the politicians in your country work hard to keep peace! Why on earth do we always have to fight??
    All the best

    Love the paintings, bright and cheerful, they make me happy just looking at them. You have a very good eye for colour.
    We see these reports on television and we don’t see the normal everyday things that have to still go on, lives still have to be lived in all that uncertainty. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

    I found your blog a couple of months ago and I really enjoy reading it. From your posts I realize that you are a person with positive thinking and I believe that in these tense moments all you can do is keep your calm and optimism mainly for your baby boy. I know it`s easy to say when I`m not there in your situation …but let`s hope that the right people will take the right decision very soon.
    Blessings to you and your family!

    Love your blog! I hope the trouble stays as far away as it can from you and your family. Its no fun to be so close to a war. I wished that the whole world could do without pain, horror and war. Life would be so much happier for everybody. Maybe if the whole world would be as colourfull as your home, people wont need to make others sad. Love from the netherlands.

  50. Shirley

    Your colourful paintings and blog always brighten my day. I am praying for your country and for your lovely family. May God send his guardian angels to keep you and all your loved ones safe, and may God guide all the politicians and give them wisdom in these troubled times. Love and blessing always from the UK xx

  51. Taciana Simmons

    I’m sorry I didn’t see your comment before… I do am praying for you tonight and will continue to do so… I cannot even imagine being in this situation…I hope you are far away from all the turbulence and that God protect you and your family. I’m so glad you have something that you love to do and that keeps your mind away from all the stress. Your paintings are beautiful!
