WIDN

Good morning πŸ™‚

I am often tagged on Instagram to show What I’m Doing Now (widn) and this always makes me happy πŸ™‚ I love to see what others are making now and showing what I’m doing too…

I love Instagram… It is my favorite social media… I am a pictures lover… When I was young I remember reading only the books with pictures inside… I love to see… see glimpses of other people’s life, home, wips etc…this makes me extremely happy πŸ™‚

These days I am back to my granny white…

Remember it?Β I started it with a huge need to crochet granny squares… I still don’t know what will it becomes… But working on it makes me happy…extremely πŸ˜‰

2

I’ve made 3 first rounds of each color in my stash… I crochet in series like a machine… a machine that enjoys what she’s doing πŸ™‚ hahaha

Did you spot something attached to my hook in the above pic?

Well it is a crochet necklace a gift from a very sweet friend Susan… You wear this cute necklace while crocheting and you will never ever loose your hook… or your scissor too (It holds both)

A wonderful and clever idea eh?

Susan have an etsy shop where she sells these wonderful crochet necklaces and other cute crocheted items too… You can visit it right here πŸ™‚ and you’ll love it πŸ™‚

Thank you so much Susan for these two necklaces… I’m wearing one of them right now πŸ™‚

And WIDN? Well crocheting, crocheting, crocheting…

Snapshots of love

Hello there!

You will see in this post pics I’ve already posted on instagram or facebook.Β  So if you follow me there you’ve already seen all these pics… I was thinking this morning about the influence of the social media on our lives and my life in particular… I’ve been neglecting my blog because of them…it is so easy to take a pic with your phone and post it right away on instagram or facebook…soooo easy…and so quick… and I was wondering if it is a good or bad “thing” to be able to share so quickly a snapshot of a particular moment in your life… Maybe it is good after all πŸ™‚

So my friends, these are some snapshots of love I took from my instagram and my facebook account πŸ˜‰ enjoy….

yaaaayyy for ponchos :)))

Today is a double tadaaa post dedicated for ponchos πŸ™‚

The girls ponchos are done and they are looking gorgeous wearing them today πŸ™‚

001

I enjoyed every single stitch crocheted… They are very very easy to make…

Using a soft acrylic yarn called baby nako and a 3.5mm hook …

01

I made a super simple edging with picots as a last round: Β 3dc…3chain+1sc in the first chain …3dc etc etc

I love picots… and I think that they are very cute as edgings πŸ˜‰

Here are the ponchos done and already in good use πŸ˜‰
