Enjoying my me-time :)

Helloooooo there! How are you?

I’ve been playing with my hook and some cotton yarn in order to make something for my sitting room table… a patchwork table runner…not too big… something simple… a very graphic square I draw and which I am very pleased with right now…

Wanna see?

It is very simple and graphic and I kind of like that 😉 It remind me of my graphic design years in college 🙂

graphic-square-1

I am doing a lot of these squares right now and I’m gonna join them as-I-go…It will be very colorful but with a simple design… I’ll prepare a graphic pattern for it also…if you’re interested in making one too… this square can be used to make coasters, cushions and even summer blankets …why not 😉

On the other side, I’m spending a lot of my me-time in my craft room with my brushes and painting 🙂 Oh how I love that!!!!

I’ve spoiled myself with a set of new brushes and I am right now finishing a very old big painting I started before getting pregnant with baby Joe…yes, before 🙂 and that was long ago 😉

Here is a little peek …

It is too colorful …but I kind of like that 😉

I hope that you are making things that makes you happy today…

I am sending you kisses, hugs, sunshine and happy thoughts

Have a good day!

    Bonjour Angie,

    Le carré est magnifique! Je pense que je vais en faire aussi. Dans le troisième rang est-ce qu’il y a 10 brides ensemble? Et pour la petite dentelle tout à l’entour est-ce : 1 maille serrée, 2 ml, 1 maille serrée? J’adore ce patron. Je vais mettre de côté mon châle beige et faire peut-être des sous-verres. Hummm l’imagination tu n’en manque pas… Ohhh comme j’ai hâte aussi de voir ton tableau terminé. Que de talents!!!

    Bonne journée à toi aussi.
    p.s. quand tu auras fait la grille, moi aussi j’aimerais que tu nous la montre. Merci. 🙂

    Just a quick note from the Netherlands to let you know I love both your granny square and your painting. And finally today the sunshine arrived in Amsterdam. So thank you for that too ! 😉

    Hi Angie, LOVE the square! I THINK it will be nice for a doily, also. Nice for many different items one can think up. {Finally the rain in South East of Pa. has stopped; rained most of May.} I’m still on my 3 afghans; go from one to another. Happy crocheting, painting to you! May God Bless you and family.

    Hi Angie,
    I want to thank you so much for the adorable crocheted mini stockings. I plan on making several for gifts for family members. However I am having trouble with the stitch on these. You are calling for DC all the way through & my stockings don’t look anything like the ones in your tutorial. It appears your stockings are done using a single crochet not a double crochet as instructed in the tutorial. I’m kinda frustrated at this point. Could you please contact me regarding this issue?
    Thank you & thank you for all the beautiful projects!
    Karen
