Hello

Hello there. It’s been a while. I missed so much this little place of mine. How are you? I don’t even know if you’re still here 🙂 So many things happened, so many changes in my life. I was surprised reading my old posts and discovering that the last time I wrote was in 2014. Charly was even not born yet 🙂 It feels stange. I am writing you today from my little home in Bordeaux. We moved here one year ago leaving our beloved Lebanon. The situation there was becoming unbearable and it is for the future of the children that we decided to move. Leaving my family, my friends and my home there, leaving everything behind and just shut the door was one of the hardest decisions I took. The first year in France was very hard. But I am thankful now that we made it. Now the children are happier in their new school, they made new friends… and we are kind of settled in our new environment. Life is not easy every day. I miss my family and I miss Lebanon every single day. But I am happier now in Bordeaux. I love my small home here. The people are nice and friendly. The weather is fine. I crochet and sew every day. And I am grateful for the little things. Have to move now… I came to update the shop and here I am writing a blog post :)))) I guess this shop update will have to wait. I am leaving you now sweet friends. Take care, surround yourself with colors, have a little me-time every day and be happy!!! Life is good.

With much love,

Angie

I feel like I’m neglecting a little bit this blog of mine and I apologize for that….

I feel like I’m running out of time and with the children at home for their summer holidays it is quite impossible to concentrate on something for more than 5 minutes 🙂 I think you understand what I’m talking about 😉

And there is INSTAGRAM. It is so easy and so quick to post a picture with a few words and share it that …well… you end up neglecting your blog and your posts… and it is annoying me I must confess… I love this little blog of mine…I feel like it is my own home, my secret place where I can hide from all the daily “routine” stuff… A kind of escape 🙂

Well… I know I talk too much 😀 I want to show you today some pics of my past week and my actual wips … Most of these pics I’ve posted them already on Instagram (Sorry my IG friends 😉 )

* My Vintage stripy blanket: This blanket is my stress-away wip. It is very soothing to work on and I am in love with how the colors melt together…

* That’s why I’m sharing here its chart. Many of you asked me about this pattern. It is a little bit tricky to begin and end each row…so before beginning your blanket try the pattern on a small scale to make sure it works with you 😉 Very easy once you’ve made your first rows…

I started it with 150ch. Working it with a 4.5mm hook. I think the more chunky the yarn is the more beautiful is the effect 😉 That’s my opinion 😉

* This is the second wip I’m working on. A winter bedspread for our room. I’ve already made some squares and I love how they’re looking 🙂

Traditional granny squares are my favorite. You know that eh? and the more I crochet them the more I have projects in my head with them… I think that my brain is full of granny squares ideas… they are everywhere in my home and I just can’t have enough of them…

They are beautiful…don’t you think? Little sweets for the soul 🙂

*Some pics of my planner. I am in love with this little filofax of mine. Its color, its shape, everything inside it makes my heart sing with joy… And I feel that I am more organised now that I am using it. Everythink is planned, my week is decorated and I feel calm just looking at it 🙂 Nurdy lady 😉

*and this last wip of mine. My crochet mood blanket 2014. I am up to date with it and find again a lot of joy crocheting each morning a square depending on my mood of the moment 🙂 There is not a lot of grey and dark colors… don’t you think? 😉

* My new comfy birkenstock. I love their color and painted my nails to match them 🙂

* And finally: My reason to live…My love… My life… My time consumers… My sun… My rainbow… My everything… My children…

I’ll leave you today with their picture. I just LOVE them so much and I am thankful every day and blessed for having them in my life…

Have a wonderful day my friends!

Kisses!

Snapshots of love

Today is my birthday and I’m turning 36…

I feel weird… I feel old… I feel happy 🙂

I feel so full of life and projects…

* The more I grow old the more I feel that I love my home more than any other place in the world…

* The more I grow old the more I enjoy baking and spending time in my kitchen…

* The more I grow old the more I enjoy watching my children grow too and love every moment spent with them…

* The more I grow old the more I love crochet 🙂 hahaha

* The more I grow old the more I appreciate life and choose HAPPINESS…

Sending your way good vibes of happiness…

Thank you for visiting my friend 🙂

Have a beautiful day!

Hello!

The days are passing by so quickly…

The children are growing so fast…I still remember when they were newborns and it feels like yesterday…

I feel a little nostalgic today…

Crocheting makes me think about my life in general and I am thankful for my little family…

While I crochet I always have thoughts…sometimes it is bad and negative thoughts sometimes not… I try always to see the “positive” in everything and not think about dark days 🙂

A cup of coffee and some stitches make me feel better … always…

Life is good and there is always a rainbow after the rain…

Have a colorful end of week and a bright and beautiful Easter!

Love

Sucrette

P.S: The blankets you see in the pics above are my 3 wips of the moment. I love them all 🙂
