Do you remember Love Birds?

Hello lovelies!

Great to see you after this week end. Do you remember Love Birds? It was back in April that I blogged about it for the last time … and it was here! 3 months ago…woooow…time flies 🙂

Well, I managed some free time to do some squares for Love birds in the past week…

and they are enough now for a single bedspread … 88 squares in total 🙂 yahooooo!

I’m thinking about making the last round in blue for all these squares and then begin joining them together…

Maybe I should make a single bedspread for my son’s room (the one that is still in my tummy 😉 ) instead of a double one for ours? What are you thinking right now? I’m a lazy lady 😀 eh? hehe

Maybe maybe maybe I’ll have enough courage to continue and make 33 more squares then it will be big enough for our double bed…maybe yes… maybe no… who knows?

I love this pic 🙂 (above) mmmh … crocheted squares of yarn stacked like a big sandwich 🙂

and this one too 🙂 my tower of happiness 🙂

Don’t you love looking at pics of crocheted squares? Or am I boring you? Hope I’m not 😉

Well, one last thing before leaving you today is a BIG BIG thank you to a lovely friend of mine who sent me the most adorable handmade gift… a lovely leather door key…who came with the postman from Paris…

Rosemarie has a beautiful blog that you should really visit here! and she’s one of the most adorable and generous person I’ve ever met in blogland! Merci! GRAND MERCI du fond du coeur Rosemarie!

Well, my sweeties, one last pic of yarn porn before leaving you today…

Wishing you a wonderful week full of good things 🙂

The baby granny blanket…slow progress…

Good morning sweet people,

Some pics to share with you today about my slow progress on the making of my baby blanket…

I’m on my 26th week of pregnancy now and I feel like I’m a big cow but slow like a turtle 🙂

It is very very hot now here …we’re in the summer days… and I can not stand holding the yarn for a long time…

That’s why I’m so slowly progressing on a blanket which should be finished by now…

I’m loving it and I’m loving the colors sooo much…

This soft doll you’re seeing in this pic is one I’ve made back in 2006 🙂

What do you think about it so far? It is the first time I use so much brown in one project but I like it 😉

Have to go now…

and leave you my friend…

Sending you lots of kisses!

Progress

Good moooorning, hello, bonjouuuuur

How are you? Hope you’re fine today! It seems like time is flying for me these days and I’m running like crazy 🙂 I wish I’ve had just a couple of hours per day to sit quietly and crochet 🙂

I’m making progresss on the baby granny blanket but it is a very slow one … I really should be finishing this blanket by now…but with an average of 10 minutes of crochet per day it is quite impossible 🙂

I’m loving the slow making of it…I must confess

Apart from that, life is quite and ordinary…we’re enjoying the summer days…we’re enjoying the “at-home” days…

and we’re making progress too in our “construction-works”…we’ve already made the walls to divide the space:

Here is my future craft rooms (It has the two windows you see on the right side of this pic and the door on the left) The other half where I’m standing to take this pic is my hubby’s place…We’ll have a big closet in the middle to make a boundary between our two spaces 😉

Now, we’re gonna put new tiles on the floor (I’ll show you, next time, when it will be done)

Have a happy week my friend!

Lovely days…

Good morning sweeties,

I am really really missing you these days 🙂 I feel like I’m a little away from blogland even though I’m still crocheting …

I am better today…totally cured and in a very good shape… sunshine again in my life 😉

Thank you so much for your lovely response about the baby set pattern…I am always very happy that you like that much the patterns I’m making 🙂 It is a huge pleasure for me knowing that you’re crocheting the same little projects that I do 🙂

There is so much happening here in my little house…The girls are at home and there is a lot of construction work happening…

My craft room will become very soon the new baby’s room… and downstairs, we have a huge inside parking for the cars, which will be divided into two rooms (one for my craft studio, the second for my hubby’s work) and a parking for our cars(not a huge one anymore). So we are now making walls, dividing the space, painting…etc and I am dreaming….dreaming about my future place, just for me, just for my painting, my crochet and my sewing work 🙂 and it fills me with such a huge joy….knowing that in a few weeks I will have a room for my new baby and downstairs a room just for my stuff, a room that I can decorate like I want and where I can do all the dreamy things I love to do…I am lucky I know 🙂

I will show you all the pics of “before” and “after” if you love to have a peek 😉 now there is just a big grey space…not so interesting to look at…

Talking about crochet…

I am finishing now the crocheted cover I’m making for my stool…

It is turning out great…can’t wait to show you…

and I’m working also on my baby granny blanket ….

crocheting small two-rounds colorful grannies …

to add them to the blanket… Oh how I love grannies…I am a granny lover…can’t get enough of them 🙂

That’s what’s going on in my life these days…I am in a very happy mood…staying home… spending time with my girls…making projects for my little house… dreaming and getting kicked a lot from the little bundle of joy that is growing inside me 🙂

I hope you’re feeling good too my friend…that the sun is shining for you wherever you are…

Have a beautiful day

P.S: You can still find the baby set’s pattern on the right sidebar of the blog 🙂

Hello there!

It’s been an awful week for me …I was sick sick sick and feeling not good at all….three days with high temperature and an awful headache… I am now on antibiotics … and today I am a little better 🙂

These days I was like sleeping all day long, not capable of going out from bed, turning on the computer was a very hard thing to do and holding a hook too 🙂 I was feeling desperate … and felt like crying all day long 🙂

Now, the sun is shining again for me and I am feeling better…

These pics are from a project I’m making along with the baby granny blanket but I totally forgot to blog about it… It is a new cover for a leather stool I have… will show you more soon…

I really really missed blogging and hope to be more present with you next week. The girls are now on summer vacation and I have to begin preparing baby’s nursery etc…Hope to share all this with you my friends 🙂

The baby set pattern is almost ready…will post it on monday (crossing my fingers)

I wish you a beautiful weekend and send you all my love!

Sucrette

P.S: I want to give a big thank you to Barbina for giving me the Sunshine Award! It brought sunshine to my day and made me so happy so I forgot for a while my awful headache 🙂 THANK YOU Barbina!
