Flower power

Hello my sweeties,

How are you today? Here the sky is gray and it is raining 🙁

Although the day is very dark I managed to take for you some pics of my finished painting … I could not wait to share with you 😉

Here it is: Flower power in all its glory…

Tadaaaaaaaaaaaa

I don’t know yet if I should leave the background white or should I paint it in a very light color (like light blue or light salmon)…what do you think?

Thank you all for your wonderful comments on my previous post …it is thanks to you that I had the “courage” to post about my painting…as I am not very confident about it (I’ve never been in my whole life 🙂 )

I’m finishing right now (slowly I can say) “stripes of love“…I still have 8 more rows to go and the edging… Hope I can show it to you done next week 😉

I’m off now to begin a new painting (don’t know from where came this strange passion for painting these days)

Sending you some colors to brighten up your day… (if it is as gray as mine !)

Have a wonderful week end 🙂

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 🙂

He was the first thing I crocheted 7 years ago without following any pattern … I kind of invented him 🙂 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 🙂

 

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 🙂

It relaxes me as much as crochet and takes out all the stress of a gray day 🙂

This will become (I hope so :D):  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 🙂

A birthday and a cushion…

Hello!

How are you today?

Aren’t these tulips gorgeous? I received them on my birthday on saturday 🙂 and the tulips are my favourite flowers 🙂

On saturday I turned out 33 and it is strange how I felt… I did not feel too old or something, I just felt happy and thankful for being alive surrounded by my family and the people I love the most…

On Saturday morning I felt like calling my parents to tell them thank you…thank you for bringing me to life…thank you after 33 years 😀 hehe

I’m feeling too emotional these days, every little thing brings tears to my eyes…even the most idiot song …Stange no???

Enough emotional talking…let’s come back to reality and talk crochet…shall we? 🙂

I bought not so long time ago some paintings for my living…

and decided to make a cushion to go with them… a cushion crocheted using this pattern

and this was the result…

Tell me ? what do you think? Do you love?

and now I am making another crochet cover with the same colors as the cushion for this round small table you see on the right bottom of the pic above… 😉 Will show it to you very soon …

That’s all my friend!

I’m sending you some sunshine and bird singing through this post and wish you a wonderful happy monday!

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 🙂

yes yes yes…

I am very happy 🙂

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 😉 )

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!
