The baby granny blanket…slow progress…

Good morning sweet people,

Some pics to share with you today about my slow progress on the making of my baby blanket…

I’m on my 26th week of pregnancy now and I feel like I’m a big cow but slow like a turtle ๐Ÿ™‚

It is very very hot now here …we’re in the summer days… and I can not stand holding the yarn for a long time…

That’s why I’m so slowly progressing on a blanket which should be finished by now…

I’m loving it and I’m loving the colorsย sooo much…

This soft doll you’re seeing in this pic is one I’ve madeย back in 2006 ๐Ÿ™‚

What do you think about it so far? It is the first time I use so much brown in one project but I like itย ๐Ÿ˜‰

Have to go now…

and leave you my friend…

Sending you lots of kisses!

Something new on my hook

Good morning sweeties!

What a beautiful morning to spend with you today sharing my latest crochet news ๐Ÿ™‚

I finished some “things” for number3 I want to show you today! Tadaaaaaaaaaaaa

A sleevless jacket (or a cardigan? that’s what translator is telling me to write but I’m not sure if it is correct) and some baby boots. It is not my kind of colors, but as a first trial, I like toย crochet with a plain color to try out the pattern and when it is ok, I’ll make colorful ones ๐Ÿ˜‰

The cardigan is not so bad for a first attempt I must confess…but there is some changes I have to do for a better second one ๐Ÿ˜‰

I love to make cardigans for babies as I think they are very practical to wear on the babies pyjamas…specially if they are sleeveless… I hate when I’m putting a sweater to my baby and I have to count how many little fingers are still left inside…I’m sure you’re understanding what I mean ๐Ÿ™‚ So sleevless vests are the best kind of winter clothing for babies…that’s why I will make some more …

and baby boots ๐Ÿ™‚ These also are a first attempt and I must confess that I spend a whole day crocheting and then unravelling and then crocheting again and again with sometimes feeling a little discouraged…etc etc but I kept on going …

ย and finally, I confess, that I don’t love them as much as I should…I have now more modifications I shall add to make them cuter ๐Ÿ™‚ Willshow you better little baby boots very very soon ๐Ÿ˜‰ I promise!

The yarn I’m using is called Nako Baby. A mixture of 50% acrylic and 50% polyamid worked with a 3mm crochet hook! It is a super super soft yarn, perfect for babies stuff and it is similar as thikness as the sylecraft special DK…

And concerning this cute owl ๐Ÿ™‚ OHHH I fall in love with it and could not resist buying it for my baby ๐Ÿ™‚

This is the first thing I bought for him and I love it ๐Ÿ™‚ It is from a frensh brand (I think) called: Latitude

I enjoyed very very much crocheting these little “thingies” for my baby…and could not help myself beginning a second attempt (crossing my fingers for a better result this time)

with rainbow colors ๐Ÿ™‚ better don’t you think?

Have to go now! Don’t forget! The giveaway is still running until mondayย  on this post, so it you did not left a comment you can still do iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

Thank you so much for visiting and for your kind words concerning my tummy ๐Ÿ˜‰ My due date is between September1 n October 1…I give birth by Cesarian and For my first two it was early C-sctions (at the very beginning of month9 for my oldest Christina and on the second week of month9 for Sarah my number2) so I’m expecting it to be between sep7 and sep21 for number 3 if everything goes well ๐Ÿ™‚

Have a wonderful weekend!

Please meet Miss T.

Coucou!

Hello! Good morning sweeties!

Please meet Miss T. ๐Ÿ™‚ She was in a hurry to meet you ๐Ÿ™‚ She made you wait too long…and she’s terribly sorry ๐Ÿ™‚

Yes, I was making her feets inย my previous post…you could haveย never guessed eh? ย ๐Ÿ™‚

Isn’t she cute?

I love this next dark pic…a lot ๐Ÿ˜€

I am so happy with my little cutie creation ๐Ÿ™‚ When I was crocheting her, I was uncertain about the result…and I was hoping something cute will come out from these little pieces I was making….and sewing together…

but now, I am in love ๐Ÿ™‚ and the girls too ๐Ÿ™‚

and very proud to show it to you today ๐Ÿ™‚

I took a million of step by step pics while creating Miss T. … and I’m off now to prepare a pattern ๐Ÿ™‚

Here, it is snowing today, everything is white and the girls are at home (no school) pretty excited ๐Ÿ™‚ , so we’re staying indoor in front of the mantel’s fire ๐Ÿ™‚ a perfect day !

Hope you’re staying warm too!

Have a marvellous week end!

Small houses…

Good morning sweeties,

I’m very happy to be with you today and show you something I’ve made lately ๐Ÿ™‚

It’s been two days I’m trying to upload pictures for this post and there was some problem with the server and I was going like crazy…so many things to share with you…but the technology won’t let me do it ๐Ÿ™ But now the problem is finally fixed (thanks to hubby ๐Ÿ™‚ ) and I am back ๐Ÿ™‚

To take a little break from crochet and recharge my hooky battery which was low, I spent some time in my craft room: sewing…

Sewing, embellishing, and feeling so good about it! It is so great from time to time to take a little break from one craft in order to appreciate it even more ๐Ÿ™‚ and I soooo did ๐Ÿ™‚

So, let me show you today the little cuties I sew lately:

Small colorful houses inspired by the lovely work of Kajsa Wikman.ย Kajsa is a very talentedย scandinavian artistย and I am so ย in love with herย “naive” and colorfulย style. You can visit her wondeful blog here.ย 

That’s all for today! There is some new hooky stuff I can’t wait to show you next time!

Stay warm and see you very soon ๐Ÿ™‚

Sucrette

P.S: Thank you for your wonderful response about Sucrette’s square ๐Ÿ™‚ You can still find it in the right sidebar of this blog !

Teddy…

Good morning !

How are you?

I’ve been very busy this week end, trying and trying again, crocheting and then unraveling and then crocheting again…

and this was the final result:

Teddy the bear ๐Ÿ™‚

I love this cute bear… I crocheted it with my Nako vizon acrylic yarn and a 4.5mm crochet hook…

I enjoyed so much making it that I made a second one…

with Christmassy colors ๐Ÿ™‚

and I even crocheted a third one …this time with a fine cotton thread and a much thinner crochet hook (3mm)

and here it was: a tiny tiny cute little bear to hang on the Christmas tree ๐Ÿ™‚

Aren’t they cute? My little bears? like a small family sitting together ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m thinking about making one with a chunky yarn to have a bigger bear … a companion for a little boy or girl ๐Ÿ™‚

and how about a Christmas tree decorated with colorful little bears? mmmmh love the idea ๐Ÿ™‚

And because the pattern of this little bear was very time consuming and it took me hours and hours of hard work, I decided to sell it for a very symbolic price for you my dear readers… You can buy it from here at just 2 USD (that is approx: 1.28 British pound or 1.5 euros ) I’ll have it also in my Etsy shop for a little higher price ๐Ÿ˜‰

The pattern will be fully explained in English and in french also…It is a written pattern with step by step pics! The pattern will include some tips on how to have a neat result and a lot of great ideas too…

This bear is very easy to crochet and you’ll make one in about 3 or 4 hours max!

The pattern will be a pdf one I’ll send you once the payment is done ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m off now to finalize the pattern so it will be available very soon for you to buy from here ๐Ÿ™‚ and I’ll open also later an Etsy shop too ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m crossing my fingers…wish me good luck ๐Ÿ˜‰

Have a wonderful week my friend!

Lot and lot of kisses,

Sucrette
