Crochet in the sun
My country is slowly drowning in the blood and all I can do is crochet in the sun to take the negative thoughts and the stress away…
I feel like a small ant in a big black world unable to protect my beloved ones…
All I can do is pray… Pray for better days… Pray for my little country… Pray for peace and love…
Please join me in my prayers….
Thank you from the bottom of my heart…
And sorry for this “unhappy” post…
Sucrette
I’m praying for you, dear angie, and your beloved ones…. And all the other people who are living with you. I do so hope for better times to come to you and everyone in your country. I wish you all stay safe!!!!

I don’t know where you live but I pray for you and hope for better days.
for me also , you are in my prayers but where are you living,please?thanks for your answer
I’m in Lebanon 🙁
wish your country drowning in the peace…
this is piece of a very nice Persian poem :
جهانی را تصور کن، بدون نفرت و باروت
بدون ظلم خود کامه، بدون وحشت و تابوت
جهانی را تصور کن، پر از لبخند و آزادی
لبالب از گل و بوسه، پر از تکرار آبادی
Imagine a world without hate and gunpowder
No authoritarian oppression, no fear, no coffin
Imagine a world full of smiles and freedom
Chock-full of flowers and a kiss, filled with repeating of villages
Je pense très fort à toi et vais prier pour toi, ta famille et les gens de ton pays.
Je t’embrasse
Dear Sucrette,
I so very much hope for you and your beautiful country (just had vacation in Lebanon two years ago) that you will stay safe!
You will be in my thoughts!
I just got an idea to crochet a round potholder in peace sign style and when it is ready I will hang it out from my window, for your country, for Syria, Egypt…
Please stay safe!!!!
Unfortunately our lives and relities are sometimes very tragic and all can we do is praying and ask our friends to pray with us. In my little country it was the war – it was “finished” 18 years ago and we are still remeber this time, so I can relate to your feelings and fears. I hope it will be some other solution soon enough to avoid so many victims, fears, tragedies.We can not help other than to let yu know we are thinkig of you and your country and praying…..
Big hug 🙂
You and your beautiful country are sadly stuck between a rock and a hard place. It is becoming hard to imagine a peaceful solution to all the problems in the countries around you and you are stuck in the middle of it all. You, who bring colour and light through your blog have to live in deepening darkness, one of the many sadnesses in your part of the world. All you can do is love a little stronger, hold those you love a little tighter and try to believe that this will one day get better-it has before. Take care and I hope with all my heart that peace will come one day to your region. Debby.x
Mes pensées t’accompagnent toi, et les tiens, en esperant sincèrement que des temps meilleurs ne tarderont pas.

Don’t be sorry for your unhappy post!
I will pray for you.
Dear Angie,
I hope and pray that you and your family will be safe and there will be peace in your country and the countries around it. (and the world)
In the meantime, keep on making beautiful things and planning for more creations in the future. I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful pieces that you generously share with us. You inspire me.

Je m’unis à vous dans la prière Sucrette et espère bien que la paix prendra le pas sur les armes. Sur l’instant, venant de vous lire et ressentant à la fois tristesse, empathie, je ne trouve pas les mots pour vous témoigner mon soutien mais je sais que les pensées sont de grandes voyageuses et qu’elles arrivent toujours à destination alors j’ai demandé à mes amis ailés les papillons de venir virevolter jusqu’à vous en signe de réconfort. Je suis certaine que de nombreux papillons d’horizons, de pays différents viendront vous rendre visite ; vous n’êtes pas seule ! Je vous embrasse
My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and beautiful country.
Me too…i live in Egypt (but i’m italian) …bad thoughts and lot of crochet not to think too much.
May God protect you all .

Dear Angie,
Sending hugs and prayers to you and yours. Your posts bring so much color and happiness to me, I wish that I could do the same for you. Please know that I keep you and your family and your country in my prayers.

I hope for the best, for your family and your country….

I pray for you and your family and your country, my dear. Becky
I am praying very hard for my son and daughter they have travelled to your country from England. My son is getting married there to his Syrian fiancée because it’s too dangerous to go to Syria right now. It breaks my heart to see what is happening over there, I have family and friends in Syria who are in a living hell. I’m praying for you all Stay safe Angie! xx
Dear Angie, your efforts here at le monde de Sucrette are living proof of something wise Blessed Mother Teresa once said, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” Your sweet spirit and lovely, lively handcrafts have created an international community of goodwill that brings joy to all of us here in your own little corner of the internet. God bless us, every one.
I’m so sorry such a beautiful person (not speaking of outer beauty which I am sure you have but inner beauty which shines through the words you write and the art you design) who can create such beautiful things and write with such passion has to be subject to such hatred that surrounds you and your family. But remember there is ultimately a greater need for you to be where you are. Keep doing as you do you can make a difference. Prayers and hugs to you and your family and all concerned.
Dear Angie
Please hold fast with your family. I am thinking off you and hoping that peace will be returned soon. Your blog does not have to keep us happy but use it to help you if you can. Maybe crochet can bring a little calm, I hope so. I am wishing you well and hoping fervently that you stay well, happy and safe. You are a good, kind person and I know it will be so. I hope better days are ahead of you.
Take care, be strong, Sara xx
Many prayers, my dear friend!
It is terrible what is happening – I will say a prayer for you and your country. Love to you. ♥
Oh, Angie! We have our own troubles in South Africa, but totally different. I often read this book (http://www.amazon.ca/Childs-Garden-Story-Hope/dp/0763642711) to my boys, and imagine it to be thereabouts.
Thinking of you.
Be safe Angie. My thoughts are with you.
Nous venons de voir ces horribles images sur les informations du Québec quelle horreur. Mes prières vont vers toi et ta famille ainsi que tous les enfants et innocents qui meurent dans ce bain de sang?
Là où tu habite tu es menacée par les bombes???
Courage je suis de tout cœur avec toi.
i pray for you and for a better world…. a world where people remember God and turn to him with gratitude and praise for his goodness and blessings to his children. I pray that he will keep you and protect you in the arms of his love. Thank you for your joyful blog. I always look forward to your posts. I can feel your love for life and for your fellow men in the words and thoughts that you express.
Angie,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. We will add you and your country to our Bible study prayer list and also to the prayers at our church tomorrow. I know very little about your country but I do pray it will be ok for you and yours. God is in charge and he will love and hold you all in his hands.
I pray for you and your country and this world we live in. I wish we could find a way to stop the violence and hate. My life is not touched by war but I have a biracial grandson that I am raising and the open hatred that I experience is mindblowing. Hes a small innocent child……..I don’t understand people.
Dear Angie,
today is a day of mourning in your country, so I heard on the news this morning, and I thought of you right away, and prayed for you.
May God give you peace in your heart and protect you and your family. He is still in charge, and one day he will end all wars. We wish he would hurry!
My husband joins me in praying for you, and we pray for your country in church!
Much love!
Sending up my prayers for you and your family Angie. Times are very hard and scary in the middle east, so much violence I can not even imagine what it must be like to live there. Please take care and stay safe. Hugs Elly
Angie, hon, my thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and your country. Please stay safe. Just remember, sweetie, that nothing is forever. This too shall pass.
Love,
Carolyn
Oh dear, I feel so very sorry for you and your countrymen/women but I don’t know where you live. The world is not a good place nowadays, life is not like it used to be. I am 69 and think I and people just a little younger, have had the best times.
It is good that you are able to make such beautiful, colourful things, that are helping to ease the pain.
Love and best wishes. I don’t pray, but do think!
Sending You additional Love Light COmfort and Grace Dear Angie….
There is still much goodness and Hope in the world…. I know in your country and many other places in the world there does not seem to be much balance and that there is much darkness fear and anger….. Trust in the Best of Humanity, try to have faith that these grim and frightening days will also pass and that once again there will be a sense of harmony and ease in your country!!!
Holding you in my heart and prayers each and every day!!! DO not invite fear in as the Universe sends more of what we focus on…. Better to create in the Sun using all of the bright and glorious colors You so adore and attract more of the same!!!
Love and Light dear Angie! Your Crochet buddy

You are a ray of sunshine
With each of your posts
Always bringing a smile to my Heart
You are in my Thoughts

I am sending you rainbow love with no black in it. at all.
As a fellow stay at home Mom to three (5, 3, and 1) that also has a passion for crochet and sewing I felt as if I had found a long lost sister when I first discovered your blog although I knew not where you live. I cannot tell you how much joy watching your yarn creations grow and the occasional glimpses into your life have brought me. So do not apologize for the unhappy tone of your post. I believe all of us that have found you love you and understand that even the most positive spirit can be brought down for a time by the harsh realities of the world in which they live. My thoughts, prayers, and hugs to you my far away sister, from Mississippi, USA.
Please be safe Angie as well as your family and country. I hope men will one day get some sense into their brain so that peace may be everywhere. I pray for all of you.
Prayers for you and all your loved ones, as well as your country.
Oh Angie, While I was working on my ripple afghan this morning, I was thinking of you and your country if it was still in trouble. And how you would be coping with it. My prayers are with you and your family always.
Angie, Take care and keep safe, thoughts are with you and everyone there from Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland
Dear Angie, I have never left you a comment before, but I so enjoy reading your sunny blog. I will most assuredly pray for peace for you and your loved ones and your country. Maureen in Maryland, USA.

Please don’t apologize for your heartfelt post. I wish peace for you and your country. The whole world, it seems, can do with some peace. There seems to trouble everywhere one looks. Don’t give up hoping for better things to come for they surely will come in time.
Angie, Me uno a tus rezos y yo se que mucha gente del mundo entero reza para que todo aquello termine de una vez, tan sólo puedo decirte que tú y tu familia estarán presente en mis peticiones.
Un abrazo gigante y cariñoso desde este rincón del mundo…..
I too have never posted on your blog and have enjoyed the glimpse of your life and enthusiasm you share with the world with your projects and love . I am so sorry that you and your family are having such a terrible scary time and pray that you all stay safe.

Dear Angie, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! Love, Sonja
Just wanted you to know . . . I’m thinking of you during this difficult time and I am keeping you, your family and your country in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Friend,I thought of you when I heard of the violence in your country. All I can think to say is I will pray for you and Lebanon, and I have two extra rooms in my home if you need to flee to stay safe. God bless you and your family. Please, Let me know if I can be of help. Sincerely, Elizabeth
Oro por ti, oro por tu pais, para que la paz llegue rapidamente, se calmen las aguas. Confia en Dios, el bendice y trae la paz.

Oh Angie!! My heart goes out to you and your family; and our prayers are with you. I see the reports on the news and think of you every time; not sure how one would learn to cope with that sort of ongoing strife! It is certainly not a very healthy way to live. I have often wondered about the constant upheaval in the entire Middle East region, wondering how many people will be left to lay claim to their “homelands”, after all the dust is settled and there is nothing left to lay claim to. It is a truly counterproductive way of doing things. I will be thinking of you and your family!!
Sending hugs and strength your way today and through the trying times ahead. Stay well and stay safe. heather x
Angie-
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May blessings cover your family and you find your family safe and away from all the bad things happening in your part of the world. As I make your “ripple of happiness” I WISH WITH EACH STITCH a blessing of safety for all of you.

I read your blog regularly and love it. Please stay safe during this awful time. We must hope for the best. I relate so much to your worries. I am a neighbour in the region and pray for your safety and peace for all.
I think we need more woman to run our countries and less men…especially in military too…I think if woman ruled their countries we would all live in peace …..also countries that live by tribal rules is very old fashioned it does not work in a modern world. Society needs to do away with tribal mentality and let each person decide for themselves how to live their life. I wish you much peace. I will worry for you about your situation if you will worry about mine…I need to find a job and a house really soon and get a car and I have no money at all to do it with…so keep me in your thoughts while I struggle in my journey and I will do the same for you. Be the best you can be and if you need to cry I will cry with you. Peace be with you and your family.
I am praying for you, your family, your country and all countries that are at war. Sending you big hugs!
I am ashamed to say I did not know what had happened until I read your blog as I always do. I had thought you lived in France. I’m afraid I don’t believe in prayer, but I am thinking of you and your family and sincerely hope you will be safe.
oh i am so sorry, your country does suffer and has for a while. i will keep you in my prayers. i cannot tell you enough how much your blog has cheered me, encouraged me and inspired me. thank you and stay safe

Im thinking of you guys everytime Lebanon comes in the news. Hope you stay safe and i wish that all the people could stay safe, everywhere on our little planet. I think that maybe everybody should crochet! Keeps you calm and making something, gives a smille apon someones face.
Thoughts & prayers are with you and yours…

Dear one, I pray peace and healing, warm nights and cool days, and love for you and your country.
Hi Angie! Hoping that you and your family will be safe! Your work is so colourful and lovely – it is good that you have something so HAPPY to keep your mind off the dreadful things that are happening! The world has become a very ugly place – it is good that we have our little community of creative bloggers to infuse us with hope of a prettier world!
Dearest Angie,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sending you warm wishes and happy thoughts from South Africa.

Je pense très fort à vous et espère que vous allez bien. Bon courage.

Hello Angie. I too am one of your regular visitors who takes much delight in your bright patterns and kindhearted blog entries. It brings me a lift anytime I visit, and I opened your blog now after lamenting about the turmoil our world is in. My heart has been burdened for Egypt, Syria, China villagers, India, Nigeria conflict regions, and the U.S. (quiet discord and bitterness when I read commentary on new articles even as we commemorate the movement of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.). I thought Lebanon was a place of refuge for Syrians, although with limited resources. I did not realize the crisis, and I will be praying for you and the nation and the whole region. I am praying for God’s light to shine brighter and for peace to take root. Sending love and living hope to you: my neighbor and sister.

Dear Angie,
I am late in sending you these prayers, but please know I am praying for you and your family too, for your country and everyone’s safety. I want peace, peace, peace on earth…
