My craft room

Good morning sweeties,

and welcome to my craft room….

Yes, it is done ๐Ÿ™‚ … You can see a “before” pic in this previous post

and here is what it looks now….tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

My sewing corner…

Big closets on the other side…

Let’s openย some of themย for you ๐Ÿ˜‰

ย one for the fabric and one for the yarn…

mmmh I love to look at this pic above ๐Ÿ™‚

The computer corner (the computer is not on these pics because I don’t have an internet connection in the room yet)

My craft books…

My crochet books and collection of buttons…

My crochet hooks ๐Ÿ˜‰

and my painting corner…

As you can imagine it is my piece of paradise ๐Ÿ™‚

I still have to hang some curtains on the windows (Handmade curtains of course…maybe crocheted ones ๐Ÿ™‚ I have a small idea growing on my brain right nowย ๐Ÿ™‚ )

and some paintings to hang on the walls…

and more details to add…

Will show you all the changes I’ll make ๐Ÿ™‚

Hope you enjoyed your visit to my craft room…

and now….a cup of tea? coffee? Please sit and relax…

Hello! It’s me again…

Good morning my sweeties,

It’s been more than a week since I made a proper post here and I’m sorry for not being so present here these days… I’ve been through an awful week when everybody in this house except me was ill and I was the only nurse on board… Both the girls and even Hubby (my super hero ๐Ÿ˜‰ ) were ill and I can not describe for you how crazy it was for me to take care of everybody with my big big tummy … Thanks GOD today we are all better and slowly recovering …

I want to show you today some progress I’ve made to my baby’s blanket….

All the squares are done ๐Ÿ™‚ Youpiiii! I still need to join them together with a 4th round in brown ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m loving so much this blanket …

and can’t wait to show it to you done ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m really really BIG now…and I can hardly move … I feel like my tummy is like a BIG balloon which will from one moment to another explode like a bomb ๐Ÿ˜€

My craft room is almost done ๐Ÿ™‚ It is now my favorite place in this house…

Can’t wait to show you all the “before and after” pics and there is a lot!!!

Have to go now…

Take good care of yourself sweeties

and see you very soon!

KISSES!

Small houses…

Good morning sweeties,

I’m very happy to be with you today and show you something I’ve made lately ๐Ÿ™‚

It’s been two days I’m trying to upload pictures for this post and there was some problem with the server and I was going like crazy…so many things to share with you…but the technology won’t let me do it ๐Ÿ™ But now the problem is finally fixed (thanks to hubby ๐Ÿ™‚ ) and I am back ๐Ÿ™‚

To take a little break from crochet and recharge my hooky battery which was low, I spent some time in my craft room: sewing…

Sewing, embellishing, and feeling so good about it! It is so great from time to time to take a little break from one craft in order to appreciate it even more ๐Ÿ™‚ and I soooo did ๐Ÿ™‚

So, let me show you today the little cuties I sew lately:

Small colorful houses inspired by the lovely work of Kajsa Wikman.ย Kajsa is a very talentedย scandinavian artistย and I am so ย in love with herย “naive” and colorfulย style. You can visit her wondeful blog here.ย 

That’s all for today! There is some new hooky stuff I can’t wait to show you next time!

Stay warm and see you very soon ๐Ÿ™‚

Sucrette

P.S: Thank you for your wonderful response about Sucrette’s square ๐Ÿ™‚ You can still find it in the right sidebar of this blog !

Meet Mike :) and a peek at my wip painting!

Mike is my friend! He is always with me…when I crochet, when I paint, when I sew and when I surf the net…

He lives in my craft room and he is very faithful ๐Ÿ™‚

He was the first thing I crocheted 7 years ago without following any pattern … I kind of invented him ๐Ÿ™‚ and I did not write its pattern anywhere, I did not have at that time a blog and you, my virtual friends, to share with …

He is not very beautiful, I don’t know exactly what he is…a monster? a strange creature? an animal? but I love him very much and I kind of talk to him during my craft time … He knows all my secrets…

He is saying : Hello! to you… He loves you already ๐Ÿ™‚

 

After meeting Mike today, I want you to take a look at my wip painting…

It is not something WOW! but it have a soothing and calming effect on me…

Mixing colors and spreading them on a white canvas gives me a certain peace of mind I can not describe ๐Ÿ™‚

It relaxes me as much as crochet and takes out all the stress of a gray day ๐Ÿ™‚

This will become (I hope so :D):ย  flowers in a vase and it is called: flower power !! hehe (I’ll show it to you when it’s done!)

Hope you like!

BIG BIG BIG kisses ๐Ÿ™‚

Love at first sight…

Hello ladies,

Hope you’re having a wonderful monday morning with a nice cup of coffee!

One week ago I saw this beautiful pic somewhere on the net… a beautiful pic without a link or a source…and I fall….madly deeply in love with it….I saved it on my laptop …Here it is…

Does any of you know the source of this pic?

So, my friend, I fall madly and deeply and crazy in love with the blanket of course…I could not take out my eyes of this beauty…all these colors and this black border…can you resist?

and of course, as you already guessed…I started…I started trying to crochet something similar to this wonderful piece…Mmmmh…it was a pleasure trying to figure out the pattern by just looking at this pic….and I made it after many many trials ๐Ÿ™‚

yes yes yes…

I am very happy ๐Ÿ™‚

and so in love….

I stopped all my wip and I am not crocheting anything else since …

That’s what we call: Love at first sight…Yes it is crochet-love-at-first-sight…wondering if you can understand this kind of feeling for a project ? when you can not at all concentrate on something else…and you leave all behind for this particular new wip…

I even already draw the graphic pattern for you… my own version on Corel draw with a sucrette’s technique to work fast and use all the colors equitably (Thank you google translate :)) (I’ll post it next time ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

But I need a name for this blanket and I need your suggestions… Do you have any idea what should I name it? Is “love at first sight” a good one? waiting for your advice…

Finally, a close up of the flowers on my table…and some pics of my paintings and my studio before I go…

Talking about my paintings: It is not something “huge” I am very proud of…but it is something I take pleasure making … and that’s what counts finally, no?

I’ll leave you now with a last pic of these adorable small watering cans on my shelves…

Thank you for your visit,

Have a beautiful monday!
