"done", amigurumi, cat, Crocheted animals and toys, lovely books

one? two? three!!!!!!!!!!!!

Helloooooo!

Did you guess what I’m talking about??

Oh yes! The crazy woman in me crocheted these 3 cats in two weeks… Well the second and third one in a week!

It was fast and mad crochet… but I kept my promise and I finished two cats for the girls before the weekend…as the blue one was made first for little Joe…and the girls wanted their own amineko 🙂

Blue was patiently waiting for his friends in Joe’s room…

…while I was crocheting purple for Sarah… She chose the colors and was very happy once purple was done 🙂

Then I asked my biggest girl Christina what colors she wanted for her cat. She answered black with a multi coloured shirt (with all the colors you have in your stash mummy 🙂 hahaha ) This is my girl 😉

and there was Black in all its glory 😀

The girls slept with their cats and I was very happy…I love when they play with handmade toys and I feel proud to produce something they’ll cherish for years (I hope so 😉 )

These cats are my addiction of the moment…

I feel like making one for myself too (don’t tell anyone 😉 )

If you want to make your own “amineko”… (It is very easy to crochet) … You can purchase the book in this previous post of mine here…or in the left sidebar of the blog between the books 🙂

Have a wonderful monday!

"done", amigurumi, cat, Crocheted animals and toys, lovely books, wips

A new addiction called amineko :)

Good morning sweeties,

How’s everything? Are you enjoying summer?

Last week I discovered a very cute book and since that moment I am totally addicted…

Totally in love with that little cat…and totally addicted in the “making-process” of it 🙂

I started my second “amineko” yesterday. He needs a friend no? 🙂 Look how he is patiently waiting for me to finish his friend 😉

Ami means friend and neko means cat in japanese. The book is a japanese one but it has been tranlated into english and french. I just “love” japanese books. Aren’t they the best?

It is a very easy to make cat , the instructions of the book are very clear and simple and there is a very funny story about amineko.

Now I am totally into making “amineko”s. How many will I crochet? 😀

I will not stop with just two …I am sure… I left all my wips behind and I am enjoying enjoying enjoying to the max this amigurumi cute cat…

Isn’t it adorable?

If you would fancy making an amineko…

You can find here the book in english.

And for my french ladies, you can find it here 😉

I also changed the books in the left sidebar of the blog, if you love to take a peek, they are all wonderfull !!

And one more little thing before I go… You can now leave a comment on the post…It wasn’t working on my last one and I was feeling miserable without all your kind words…It really means a lot to me… Just say hello so I know that you are here… it makes me really happy…

Wishing you sunshine, love, peace and many many moments of joy…

"done", Crocheted blankets, Crocheted cushion, for babies, Letter of the alphabet, Ripple, Tiny squares, wips

Wips and a tadaaa

Hello lovelies,

How are you?

It’s been like ages since I last posted… life has been chaotic in my part of the world… Too much family and children time…so much to do…so little time … children at home…no time for myself…just time for crochet in the evenings …I am sure you understand…

I’ve managed to finish the baby boy’s ripple…Here it is….

Not my-kind-of-colors but I like the softness of the whole blanket and I am sure the future-mother-to-be will love it 🙂

And I’ve been crocheting like mad the tiny-squares-letter-cushion…

Wanna see the progress I’ve made?

I finished the C and on the way to finish the S too 😀

Even though they are making me crazy and bored and and and…. I must make them…

Maybe three of them for the children…

I will start the J for Joseph as soon as I finish the S of Sarah…

Today, I’ll be in my craft room making the fabric cushions for these 2…

And you? What are you making today?

I wish you a wonderful day and hope to get back to you soon 😉

Kisses and hugs

"done", free patterns, Graphic square, patchwork, Patchwork crocheted squares, table runner

The table runner :)

Oh hello lovelies!

It is such a beautiful day today and I’m in love… deeply madly crazy in love with my latest finished project… Are you ready to fall too? I’m sure you are 😉

Let’s have some close up pics …

I love love love this simple graphic square…I think it is simple but beautiful… and I love it even more because it is the fruit of my imagination… my own drawing… 🙂

and I love the whole result…the table runner in all its glory…all these bright and beautiful colors mixed together in a lovely patchwork…

I feel happy whenever I enter the sitting room 🙂

Now for the part you are all waiting for: The how to…

I crocheted this table runner with a thin cotton yarn called “Camilla 6/4” and a 2mm crochet hook. I made it by joining as I go the squares together in a randomly use of colors…

I drew for you my friend the graphic chart of this square… It is right here:

As you noticed, the joining part was made as-I-go with round 5 (in black in the chart) and it is done where I put the arrows…(Instead of the middle chain a slip joining stitch)

Each square was done in a different color and I made a very simple edging (1sc, 4ch, 1sc) all around the whole table runner…

I am in love with it (did I already told you that?? I don’t think so :D) and I think that this graphic square will be beautiful if used to make coasters, cushions or a summer blanket why not?

So, my lovely friend, I’ll have to leave you now with a last pic…

and wish you a wonderful day!

P.S: I draw all my graphic charts including this one using Corel Draw (a graphic design software) as many of you keep asking me 🙂

and one last thing: Some of you asks me if I can explain some of the charts with written words and I am so sorry about that but I just can’t do it sometimes… I am unable to do it 🙁 It is too difficult for me as I myself cannot follow an english written pattern 🙁 not yet! but one day… 😉

Kisses to all!

"done", free patterns, shawl

South bay shawlette…finally!!!

Yes, it is FINALLY done 🙂 I’m very pleased with the result but I must confess I did not enjoyed the whole making process because it was my first one-color-project 🙂 I am not used to work with just one color …I get bored easily 😉

The pattern is lovely…It is a free Lion brand’s one and you can find it on ravelry under the name: South bay shawlette… here 🙂

If you like the pattern and you are used to work single color projects… I sooo recommend you give it a go 🙂

The result is beautiful! don’t you think?

Wishing you a beautiful week my friend
