Before closing this post, a pic of my nativity set just for us to remember that it’s all about him…

For a moment, forget about the presents, the food, the tree and decorations…

and remember that it is all about him ๐Ÿ™‚

Jesus Christ is born! Allelouia!

Merry Christmas my friend!

May love, peace and joy fills your home and your heart!

Wishing you a blessed week!

Something new on my hook…

Good morning sweeties

This weekend I started something new…Yes I know I have already 4 crochet wips and one knitting but I could not help myself…

Inspired by this wonderful blog and the beautiful ponchos they make, I started a poncho for myself… a big poncho …something like a wearable blanket… Something that will keep me warm and free my hands and feet to move and do things at home… Something I can wear while crocheting in front of the T.V during the cold evenings…

And how big was my surprise when I read this morning Lucy’s post and discovered that she started a poncho for herself too ๐Ÿ˜€

This poncho I am crocheting is made of granny squares and a black border. I am loving too much the black against the other colors…

I started the front and the back separately….and I’ll sew them together once they are done…

I am using leftovers from my stash, mostly 100% acrylic nako vizon yarn with a 4.5mm hook…

You can find the graphic pattern of the square here.ย I’ll join the squares as I go and once the front and the back crocheted I’ll sew them together…

Have a wonderful week, stay warm and crochet crochet crochet ๐Ÿ™‚

December

There is something I don’t love about December… It is the stress behind this season… The stress sometimes takes out all the beautiful mood you should be feeling in this holy season… I am a “routine” kind of person… I love my every-day and try to just live the moment… Every year I tell myself I should begin early with the Christmas preparations so I don’t stress and stress all my family…

So, this year, I began early …

The house is already on Christmas mode…

The tree is up…

The gifts are (almost) ready and packed…

There is good chocolate in every corner…

Every single detail is pretty organised in my beloved yellow filofax…

I am even finding some time to crochet…

and add some squares to the granny blanket which is slowly but surely growing ๐Ÿ™‚ (Will it become a bedspread?)

8

I have even picked up an old wip and I’m falling in love with it all over again…

So, my friend, this year, I am trying to relax and just enjoy this holy season without stress…

And I wish you the same ๐Ÿ™‚

Relax, take it easy and have a beautiful warm week filled with joy, laugher and Christmas spirit.

BIG BIG Kisses
