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 🙂

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!

The happy blankie: the beginning

Hello happy people!

How are you? Is it spring already in your part of the world or not yet? Is it still grey and rainy?

In my country spring is already here: sunshine, blue sky, perfect weather 🙂

I started this week a new project: yes, another blanket like you guessed from the title of this post…

It was like a huge need to start it…like I could not resist…and I could not wait finishing other wips before… I had to pick colours and start it…does it happens to you? this huge excitement for starting a project and you could not think of something else rather than holding the hook? ohhh my…

I decided to use all my scraps of yarn…all my leftover little bits and bigger bits of yarn…

and there is a lot of colours in my stash…some are tiny balls that make only one round and some are bigger…

Oh how I love colorful yarn like that!

I must confess something: My favorite colour these days is yellow-mustard a colour I used to hate when younger…now it is my favorite and I am using it a lot in this project…People change 😉

So, I had to start a project that I can easily crochet during hot days…

and making separate squares is not something heavy you have to carry on your lap..

so it had to be squares…squares that I will join later…maybe in autumn… I will not think about the joining method nor the colour now even though yellow-mustard joining is on my mind 🙂 hahaha

Wanna see the squares?

Oh! oh! oh! These are happy squares aren’t they?

I am really really enjoying crocheting each square and taking a lot of pleasure in choosing 4 colours for each one 🙂

This is the kind of projects that makes my heart beats faster 🙂 boum boum boum 🙂

It will be a happy blanket I am sure 🙂

Sending happy thoughts your way…

and wishing you a very happy weekend!

P.S: For the squares I am using this classic pattern but with a small change: I am making 2tr,2ch,2tr in each corner instead of 2tr,1ch,2tr like on the graph 😉

Each square is made with 4 rounds, each round crocheted with a different colour 😉

The baby girl blanket

Good morning sweeties,

The baby girl blanket is done …I finished it last week but could not have enough time to write a post… So here it is today….tadaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I enjoyed every second working on this blanket and I’m so in love with it…

The yarn is very very soft…a pure pleasure to touch…It is called: Nako Lux Ninnos a mixture of 50%polyamid 50%acrylic….worked with a 3.5 mm crochet hook…

As for the squares: The first 4 rounds are made following this pattern here

The 5th round is made with tr (U.K) all around the square and 2tr – 2ch – 2tr in each corner…

And I joined the squares using Lucy’s great method 🙂

And for the edging part, I crocheted one granny round in light purple and a second one in white with picot (3ch-1sc in the first ch)

I love “picot” I think they add a very beautiful touch to the finished project 🙂 don’t you agree?

I love love this blanket (I know I already said that 😀 ) and I hope that the baby girl who’s due in july will love it too 🙂

Have to leave you now…

I’ll be crocheting next a baby boy blanket …. I’ve already chosen the colours and if you’re following me on facebook you’ve already saw them…

Will share all about this coming project soon…

Will have to show you too my granny shawl which looking really really gorgeous 😉

Wishing you a marvellous week …

Lots of kisses and

LOVE TO ALL

Springy time

Good morning!

How are you? I wanna begin this post with a big thank you for all your kind messages concerning my health 🙂 I am really lucky to have you all and it makes me feel really blessed and happy 🙂 THANK YOU!

We’ve had some spring weather over the weekend so we enjoyed some great time in the garden…

The children love being out…

Even baby Joe enjoyed being out in the garden for the first time 🙂

And I’ve been spoiled with a beautiful orchid I must show you…

It is the first time I see a yellow-orange-red orchid and it is really really gorgeous …

Even in the crochet front I feel like it is spring too 🙂

As I am enjoying joining the squares of the baby blanket and I am loving it so so so much!

I am feeling a little better now…On Thursday, I’ll be removing the stitches of the surgery 🙂 Spring is back in my heart too 🙂

Hoping that spring is in your home and your heart

I wish you a springy week!

Hello lovelies,

I am back home and my surgery went well…They took out my “gallbladder” I’m not sure about the world I just translated it from french… I am still on painkillers… Feeling pain in my belly but that’s ok… Can not carry anything or anyone before 10 days…poor baby Joe 🙁 but that’s ok too as I’m trying to rest most of the time… Hubby and my mummy helping me…

Little crochet…my granny shawl is done and I took it with me to the hospital…can’t wait to show you…
The south bay shawlette is half done and I began joining the squares of the baby blanket…

Can’t wait to get back to my normal blogging and my everyday life again … I’m still feeling very weak 🙁

Thank you so much for all your sweet emails and comments asking me how I was… They made me feel better …
Love to all…
See you soon
