Crochet

Yes, today’s post is all about crochet 🙂 How are you sweet friend?

More progress to show you on Joe’s ripple:

I’m loving so much the colors and working on it.

I’ve began also something new…something I’ll call: Grannies with a twist…

Inspired from this wonderful blanket here…

Using some leftover acrylic yarn called “mirage”

with a 3mm crochet hook…this is what I’ve been up to so far…

I’m loving too much the black with the other colors…don’t you agree?

Stay warm my friend and have a beautiful day

Good morning my friend!

How are you? How’s everything in your part of the world?

Today, I want to show you my finished cowl, the beginning of a new ripple blanket for baby Joe and many other things…

First, there is something that made me super happy this week end:

One of my patterns has been featured in AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns…yaaay 🙂 It is in a free e-book that includes 7 different ripple patterns. Please feel free to download a copy of this lovely e-book from this link:

Thank you allfreecrochetafghanpatterns 🙂

So I started a new blanket for baby Joe using this particular ripple pattern…Here is what I’ve been up to so far…

I’m loving so much the colors 🙂

I wanted to make, using the same colors, a moss stitch blanket for Joe…I started it but felt that it will never finish on time and that the winter will pass before he can use it… so I stopped…The moss stitch is wonderful but the progress you make with that stitch specially when you have a time-consuming-little-baby is very very slow…that’s why I chose to make a ripple instead…

Here is my finished cowl using the moss stitch:

Excuse the pics taken with my PJ 🙂 but that’s what I’m wearing most of the days 🙂 hahaha

The cold days are slowly coming in our country and the crocheted bedspreads are back again on our beds…

In Joe’s room:

In the girls’s room:

And in our’s too:

Our room is still waiting for its new beadspread “love birds” which is still not finished 🙁

and finally finally the love of my life…

Baby Joseph who’s now 2 months old

and who’s making his first smiles

Have a happy week 🙂

Big big kisses from the bottom of my heart!

Discovering a new crochet stitch…

…and loving it a lot lot lot!

Good morning lovely people!

How are you today? Last week, I discovered on the net a beautiful crochet stitch and I searched for its pattern and found out that it is the easiest crochet pattern I’ve ever seen so I thought about sharing it with you of course 😉

Don’t know if you already know about it …it is called Moss stitch crochet and it is G O R G E O U S 🙂 The kind of stitch I easily fall in love with cause it melts the colors used in a wonderful way…

No more talking … let’s see some pics ( I’m hearing you…) shall we?

So I started a cowl with some Nako Vizon Yarn using a 4mm crochet hook…

Let’s have some close ups…

Oh oh oh!! Isn’t it wonderful? Do you see the little touches of colors how they melt together? Are you in love like myself?

and and and… it is super super easy to make…1 single crochet, 1 chain etc etc 🙂

You have to google it for all the instructions… (just type moss stitch crochet) there is some youtube videos with step by step instructions and written patterns ect… all that you need to learn this very very easy stitch…

Now, I’m thinking about starting a blanket for Joe with that stitch…Mmmm I’m already planning in my head the color’s combinations 🙂

Should I finish joining the love birds blanket squares first?

I really should…don’t know if I can… 😀

Have to leave you now… little baby is crying 🙂

I’ll leave you with a Christina’s pic…

Aren’t children adorable?

Have a wonderful colorful week my friend!

Hello!

Hello sweeties,

Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments, ideas and suggestions on my previous post…I’m so lucky to have you my friends 🙂

I’ve began giving baby Joe something called “biogaia”. Do you know about it? It is probiotics drops…just 5 drops in the evening…and it is MIRACULOUS I must confess 🙂 He’s feeling so much better…a little colics from time to time but nothing important …wow I’m feeling a lot better too 😉

Just a few pics to share with you today…

I’ve began the long work of joining all the love birds squares together…I began this bedspread on January 2012 … long time eh? You can read the very first post of this wip right here

Right now I’m joining…when I can, of course…I make a line…

It is a long process but I’m trying as much as I can (and as much as baby Joe will let me) to finish it before the beginning of winter cold days (wich is around december 15 here)

and here are some pics of my children…my love…all my life…

My two princesses…

and baby Joe who’s 50 days old is making his very first smiles and I’m melting with love 🙂

Have to go now…

I’ve began a new crochet wip…I’ll show you something next time 😉

Wishing you all a very happy day!

and thank you again for being here whenever I need you 🙂

Home…

Hello my friend,

Nothing so special to share with you today…

Just some pics of my home and my ordinary life…

I’ve made some changes between my formal living and my family room… I’ve exchanged the sofas between them (sorry if this is not a correct sentence 🙂 )

This is how they look right now…

In the family room, where there is so much more natural light, I’ve put the dark brown sofas…

And in the formal living, where there is not much light, I’ve put the beige sofas:

It is much better now…and I’m very very happy with my new home 🙂

and here is baby Joe, 1 month and a half old today, sleeping quietly in his new chair…

He is a sweet angel during day time but in the night … don’t talk with me about his nights… He has so much colics poor baby…he cries all night long…A L L … and nothing stops his crying unless he is carried…I do hope it is just a period of time and that all will be ok soon…

Not much crochet is happening these days but I do love to look at my basket and my love birds bedspread wip…It makes me feel good and happy even though I’m barely touching my hook and yarn 😉

Have to go now…

Hope you’re all doing well in your part of the world specially my U.S friends…I’ve been thinking and praying a lot for you …I hope you are all OK !

Sending you all my love through this post…

See you soon…
