Christmas, Corners of my home, filofax, My family, Snapshots of love

Snapshots of love

*It is the season…the tree is up… and the house is looking very cosy…

* Yesterday, I enjoyed coffee with hubby while the children were watching T.V…I love lazy sunday afternoons…

* The girls, on a sunshiny sunday morning 🙂

* This little boy of mine is playing alone with his toys and that do not happens often 🙂

* I treated myself with this gorgeous A5 filofax and I am in love with it. I love its beautiful yellow and I love papers and I love being organised 😉 Are these enough reasons ?

*This little boy is a sweetie and my heart melts every time he smiles at me 🙂

* Sarah my little clown 🙂

*These were some snapshots of my last week. If you’re following me on instagram you’ve probably seen all these pics 😉

Wishing you a wonderful week!

Love to all

Corners of my home, cowl, Crocheted blankets, filofax, granny squares, knitting, lovely books, wips

Enjoy every moment…

Just another week has gone by and I’m still here doing the ordinary every day stuff…

Crocheting a lot…

Adding grannies to my blanket…

Adding rows to my knitting cowl… 😉

Adding some new candlesticks to my growing collection…

Decluttering some shelves and loving the result…

Savouring delicious books and discovering a new filofax-kind of-passion-obsession…

Enjoying home and dreaming a lot too 🙂

And you? What about your days? Hope that they are filled with good things 🙂

Life is beautiful my friend! Enjoy every moment…

Kisses and love!

cowl, knitting, wips

knitting…

Good morning sweet people around the globe!

It is so good to have you here today!

It is been a long time since I last picked up my knitting needles…I missed them and missed their sweet music …

I started this simple cowl last week… It will become a closed cowl once I’ll sew the beggining row with the last row…something to keep my neck warm in winter…

I love the very simple basic stitch in knitting… I think it is the best… (my knitting skills are very basic you know 😉 )

I love how the front is different from the back… I prefere the back… I love how the colors melt together on the back…

That’s why I started with a 2rows/color and then discovered that when I make 3rows/color I can have that melting sheme on the front too…

But finally I went back knitting 2rows/color… so I can wear it differently on both sides (I hope that this makes sense to you 😀 )

I hope to finish it one day…

I have to confess something… I never ever started and finished a knitting project…This is a huge but true confession hehehe

I hope that this time will be an exception…

Knitting for me is like having a date with a loving ex when you are happily married… While I knit I enjoy it a lot but always feel like I’m being unfaithful to crochet … and my joy don’t last for too long 🙂

Till now it is lasting and I am enjoying every stitch… hahaha

Come on! Pick your needles and join me! Let’s knit along 😉

Have a super week!

"done", Classic square, Crocheted blankets

Happy happy happy :)

Good morning!

I am happy happy happy to show you today the happy blankie in all its glory 🙂

It is finally finished and I love how it is right at home here 🙂

Lots of reds, oranges and yellows to match the warm colors of my home …

I love it….looooove it and can’t wait for the cold days to snuggle under it. I think that we are all here waiting for that 😉

I crocheted this blanket with a 4mm crochet hook and used my faithful Nako Vizon 100% acrylic yarn. ( The Nako Vizon is very similar to the stylecraft special DK between.)

The pattern of each square is very classic and can be found here.

As for the joining: I joined the squares with a line of sc. I held each two squares together (back on back) and worked the sc in the back loop of the two facing stitches.

For the edging, when the blanket is very colorful like this one I prefer to have a simple edging: 3sc, 1sc-3ch-1sc, 3sc, 1sc-3ch-1sc, etc etc Or if you want it is: 3sc, 1 picot, 3sc, 1 picot 😉

I love picots and I find them very beautiful on a blanket edge 🙂

I am so in love with my happy blankie. It is made with 155 squares (11×14) and I think that it will be cherished for many years to come …

Have to go now… A lot of wips are waiting for me…

A lot of work in my place too… A lot of everyday family chores but this blog is always in my heart and you too…

So, my sweeties, I hope to be back to you very soon…

Until then, take good care of yourself, stay warm (under a blanket or two 😉 ) and have always sunshine in your heart…

Love and kisses
