C and S

Helloooooo!

Do you remember the cushions I started in this post here? Well… They are done now and I can’t wait to show them to you…

I must confess…they were a pain in the a… to make… Those tiny squares are not so enjoyable (can we say that in english? πŸ˜‰ )Β to crochet…And I was like: when will my torture stop? πŸ˜€

But I like the result…

Here they are… tadaaaaaa

1-S

First you have the “S” for my youngest daughter Sarah … Here is a close up to my torture πŸ™‚

2-S

Tiny one-round squares joined as I go following a cross stitch diagram πŸ˜‰

And here is the second one “C” for my daughter Christina

5-C

Here they are on their beds…6-CandS

Do you like them? I love them and the girls too…But I will not make anymore one of these (sorry baby Joe…I will make another kind of personalised cushion for your room…I promise…)

Before I go … a last pic of the shelves in the girls room… because I managed to clean and tidy the mess on these this week…

7-THE-SHELVES

Wishing you a beautiful week full of sunshine and good things…

Thank you so much for visiting…

Thank you for your prayers and your so kind words on my last post… they really made me feel better …

Love to all!

P.S: Sorry about these words with links in the blog…I really don’t know what they are all about…and how to fix them…please ignore them until I find a solution πŸ˜‰ THANK YOU!

Laying all the squares I’ve already crochet on my kitchen table gave me joy this morning …

48 squares so far… I’ve had to show you…

48 happy squares I soooo enjoyed crocheting πŸ™‚ I am deeply in love with this blanket and with every step of its making πŸ™‚

I’m trying now to sketch a new graphic pattern for a square I’ll use to crochet a table runner for my sitting room… A lot of concentration needed ;)… More about this very soon πŸ˜‰

And you? What are your small pleasures of the day? Are you enjoying what you’re making ?

Wishing you lovely moments whatever you’re doing today !

Kisses

I love this blanket… I added to its original square a round of dc …to add more white…

baby-blanket-wip4

I am loving how it is turning out and I’ve already done all the circles (the first two rounds of them πŸ˜‰ )

The second wip is a cowl for myself…a very big cowl that I can fold two times around my neck….

yarn-for-cowl

cowl-wip1

I am working it using the moss stitch (1sc, 1ch, 1sc, 1ch) etc

I simply loooove that stitch πŸ™‚

cowl-wip2

I amΒ crocheting itΒ with the “MIRAGE” a 100% acrylic yarn but instead of the 3mm hook suggested on the yarn I am using a 5mm hook to have a light effect…

Finally lovely ladies a pic of my bundle of joy who’s enjoying his new toy…
