It’s all about crochet…

When people ask me what do I do in my spare time and I answer crochet… they look at me in a strange way… Here in my country crochet is something “old fashioned”…

Well if crochet is an old fashion activityย then I am “old fashioned” and proud to be ๐Ÿ˜€

Good morning lovely people around the globe… I am very happy to be with you today and to share my latest wips ๐Ÿ˜‰ You are the onlyย one to understand me and my crazyย addiction ๐Ÿ™‚

1

I am back to my Crochet Mood Blanket 2014 and I was so behind with my squares but today I crocheted June11’s square and that made me very happy ๐Ÿ˜€

2

This blanket is very special and I love it… Looking at it brings back memories and I really put my heart intoย crocheting each square of itย ๐Ÿ™‚

3

I felt in love with this idea to make each day of 2014 a square depending on your mood and even though I did not 100% stick to it I still choose the color of my square depending on how I feelย ๐Ÿ™‚

4

I am back also to my Vintage Stripy Blanket. Crocheting these colorful stripesย calmย me in the evening after a rough day… they take my stress away and I love adding one row each evening to this beauty ๐Ÿ™‚

5

Call me crazy but I started also another granny square bedspread for our room ๐Ÿ™‚ Yes I am crazy but granny squares with a black border was on my to-do list from long ago and I simply love them. They have a vintage sweet look that I adore ๐Ÿ™‚ I am crocheting this new blanket with a thicker yarn (100% acrylic Nako Vizon yarn) than my granny with white bedspread…so a 4 rounds -square is big as a 6 rounds-square on the white one… This new bedspread will be for winter ๐Ÿ˜‰

6

I’ll crochet it with these 35 colors and the black for the last round ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you dear friend for visiting today,

itย is always a pleasure having you here!

Kisses and love

Living slowlier…

Hello dear friend,

I feel everytime I write a new post that I repeat myself, talk about the same things, but that is what my life is all about…

IMG_3365

I love it… I love having habits… I love waking up each morning and do again and again the same things ๐Ÿ™‚

IMG_3368

I love repeating the same chores…

IMG_3376

Home time (mostly spent picking up things from the floor), cooking time, crochet and coffee time, children time, family time, Hubby time…

Each part of my day brings me joy..

Finding pleasures in the little things that is what life is all about…

The more I grow older, the more I appreciate the little things, the more I enjoy moments of happinesss…

I am living slowlier now … taking the time to look at the blue sky and smell a flower…

Taking the time to add one square … just one square a day to my Crochet Mood blanket 2014…

(Above you can see the first 4 months of 2014)

Try to live slowlier my friend, don’t be always in a hurry, take time to enjoy the moment, life is too short…

I’m gonna make a coffe right now… do you want a cup ๐Ÿ˜‰ ?

Sending you my love through this post…

See you soon,
