Getting busy…
Good morning friends around the globe!
Hope you’re doing great today…
I’ve been playing with my favorite stash of yarn and could not resist beginning a new project…
My favorite part in any hooky project is when I choose the colors and take them from their box to my favorite basket…and then dream a little bit on what I’ll be making… and how the project will turn out once finished … 🙂
Crochet day dreaming is the best 🙂
This yarn is my favorite… Even though it is a little thin (crochet with a 3mm hook) it has the most wonderful colors…
It is called Mirage…a 100% acrylic yarn…
and I’ve decided to make a bedspread for the baby’s room…Yes, I know that my own bedspread is not finished yet and I’m still making Love bird squares but I will be working on both of them together 🙂
And for this project I’ve been inspired by the lovely work of Derya…she’s been working on her own patchwork blanket and posting great pics about it day after day…and I was like : woooow I want to make one 🙂
Derya has a beautiful blog where she post everyday lovely pics of her crochet projects…Even though it is in turkish and I don’t understand a word I am always happy to visit her and get inspired by her talented projects and her wonderful choice of colors …
So… I began mine…
and I’m making 4 squares/ day … Oh you cannot imagine how much pleasure this simple project is giving me 🙂 Crocheting traditional granny squares of 6 rounds each and joining them together as-I-go … colorful plain granny squares 🙂 I love youuuuuuuuuuu soooo muchhh 🙂
and I feel that it will turn out wonderful as a single bedspread…what do you think?
Now I have two bedspreads on the making…One single and one double 🙂 yahooooooooooooo!
and I’ve began a new small painting also…in my new craft room 🙂
Rediscovering the pleasure of painting after a long period of time…is simply wonderful!
I’m off now to finish it!
Thank you so much for visiting…
Wishing you small pleasures to brighten up your day 🙂
Big kisses

Hi Angie, your projects are so colorful and lovely. I posted a yarn rainbow yesterday, too — just love all the pretty colors. The yarn we get here is very thin … it’s taken me a while to get used to it, as the yarn in the States is much thicker. But I gotta work with what is available. I do love making granny squares. They are so quick to work up. Have fun! Your painting is lovely, too. Wishing you all the best, Tammy
Hey Sucrette!
Oh those colors, and that basket… I can totally understand your excitement! 🙂 It must be so nice for you right now, nesting and all 🙂
Good luck with the new projects and I hope your pregnancy treats you well!
xo,

Good morning, Angie! It’s 4:25am here as I feed my 5 month old and read your tasty post. I love starting new projects that’s why I always have a lot going at once. I can’t wait to see this finished single and the love birds. Have a great day sweetie!

I love your blog! It’s so inspiring and you’re so criative! So, I was wondering if you could create a granny resembling the Brazil’s flag! I’d love to do something for the coming World Cup that will be here! Hugs.
I totally agree…..dreaming about a new project is great!! I love the painting…..
what a lovely blanket. Now I want to do one LOL. Actually I want to do everything all at once and I know I can’t lol.
I just love your paintings. They are so vibrant and make me feel happy! xxx
Hi Angie,
I continue to be a great fan and love your colors!!!
Can you tell me how to get the pattern of the placemat under the yellow polka dot pitcher, on the table where you were displaying your latest project? I love it. It’s so lacy looking.
Thanks so much.

Good Afternoon, Angie! Your baby’s granny square bedspread you have started is lovely! I look forward to seeing all of your wip’s and the great photos you take of them from beginning to finish! It is so sweet of you to acknowledge another creative blogger’s wip’s on your own blog page. Inspiration fuels creativity and it seems that the two of you do feed off each other for inspiration. 🙂
I too, would love to have the pattern and yarn information for the lacy placemat, under the yellow polka dot pitcher, in the photo of your baby’s granny square bedspread. Thank you Angie & have a wonderful day!

Looks like you’re having fun!! The plain granny square therpay….it’s simply the best! Have a lovely day! Blessings to you, your family and that little boy in there. …. 😉
It’s going to be gorgeous and the painting too! x
A basketful of beautiful colors! And a gorgeous painting too!
Yes, such beautiful colors!! Cannot wait to see your progress in the crochet and the painting. Keep us posted!
Angie, your blanket will be beautiful, how could it be anything but gorgeous!
I’m really interested to know if you could share where to find the pattern for that lovely little table runner, what materials were used, and hook size.
Thanks,
Rebecca
I like dreaming about future projects too 🙂
I have so many things I want to do and not enough time LOL
I am looking forward to seeing the finished painting.
It’s going to be another pretty blanket – I always enjoy looking at your colorful work. 🙂
Sera otra manta hermosa!!!!!
Me has enseñado a poner los colores en una caja y luego crear con los cuadraditos algo muy hermoso. Eres muy inspiradora. Besitos.
Hi, I just found your site and I love, love, love all the work you do, and all the patterns you share. I like to work patterns with the symbols, also.
I will check in often, good luck for when you have your baby. Children are a true blessing.

J’adore aussi ce moment du choix et de l’association des couleurs (on dit faire des gammes je crois). Je débute mais je comprends et partage ce que tu écris.
