"done", amigurumi, cat, Crocheted animals and toys, lovely books

one? two? three!!!!!!!!!!!!

Helloooooo!

Did you guess what I’m talking about??

Oh yes! The crazy woman in me crocheted these 3 cats in two weeks… Well the second and third one in a week!

It was fast and mad crochet… but I kept my promise and I finished two cats for the girls before the weekend…as the blue one was made first for little Joe…and the girls wanted their own amineko 🙂

Blue was patiently waiting for his friends in Joe’s room…

…while I was crocheting purple for Sarah… She chose the colors and was very happy once purple was done 🙂

Then I asked my biggest girl Christina what colors she wanted for her cat. She answered black with a multi coloured shirt (with all the colors you have in your stash mummy 🙂 hahaha ) This is my girl 😉

and there was Black in all its glory 😀

The girls slept with their cats and I was very happy…I love when they play with handmade toys and I feel proud to produce something they’ll cherish for years (I hope so 😉 )

These cats are my addiction of the moment…

I feel like making one for myself too (don’t tell anyone 😉 )

If you want to make your own “amineko”… (It is very easy to crochet) … You can purchase the book in this previous post of mine here…or in the left sidebar of the blog between the books 🙂

Have a wonderful monday!

"done", amigurumi, cat, Crocheted animals and toys, lovely books, wips

A new addiction called amineko :)

Good morning sweeties,

How’s everything? Are you enjoying summer?

Last week I discovered a very cute book and since that moment I am totally addicted…

Totally in love with that little cat…and totally addicted in the “making-process” of it 🙂

I started my second “amineko” yesterday. He needs a friend no? 🙂 Look how he is patiently waiting for me to finish his friend 😉

Ami means friend and neko means cat in japanese. The book is a japanese one but it has been tranlated into english and french. I just “love” japanese books. Aren’t they the best?

It is a very easy to make cat , the instructions of the book are very clear and simple and there is a very funny story about amineko.

Now I am totally into making “amineko”s. How many will I crochet? 😀

I will not stop with just two …I am sure… I left all my wips behind and I am enjoying enjoying enjoying to the max this amigurumi cute cat…

Isn’t it adorable?

If you would fancy making an amineko…

You can find here the book in english.

And for my french ladies, you can find it here 😉

I also changed the books in the left sidebar of the blog, if you love to take a peek, they are all wonderfull !!

And one more little thing before I go… You can now leave a comment on the post…It wasn’t working on my last one and I was feeling miserable without all your kind words…It really means a lot to me… Just say hello so I know that you are here… it makes me really happy…

Wishing you sunshine, love, peace and many many moments of joy…

"done", Crocheted blankets, Crocheted cushion, for babies, Letter of the alphabet, Ripple, Tiny squares, wips

Wips and a tadaaa

Hello lovelies,

How are you?

It’s been like ages since I last posted… life has been chaotic in my part of the world… Too much family and children time…so much to do…so little time … children at home…no time for myself…just time for crochet in the evenings …I am sure you understand…

I’ve managed to finish the baby boy’s ripple…Here it is….

Not my-kind-of-colors but I like the softness of the whole blanket and I am sure the future-mother-to-be will love it 🙂

And I’ve been crocheting like mad the tiny-squares-letter-cushion…

Wanna see the progress I’ve made?

I finished the C and on the way to finish the S too 😀

Even though they are making me crazy and bored and and and…. I must make them…

Maybe three of them for the children…

I will start the J for Joseph as soon as I finish the S of Sarah…

Today, I’ll be in my craft room making the fabric cushions for these 2…

And you? What are you making today?

I wish you a wonderful day and hope to get back to you soon 😉

Kisses and hugs

Crocheted cushion, Letter of the alphabet, Tiny squares, wips

Something new…

Good morning sweeties,

I posted last week this pic of my actual wip on facebook and instagram…

Can you guess what it’s all about?

Well, this is my progress so far (pic taken today)…

Now I think you guessed 😉

It is a cushion with letter C like for Christina my daughter 🙂

A cushion made with tiny grannies (one round) joined as I go 🙂

I crocheted one tiny granny…took its measures…. (3 x 3 cm) …made my calculation to obtain a cushion of 45 x 45cm … As a result I had to crochet something with 15 x 15 tiny granny squares… so I draw the letter C using a grid of 15 x 15 squares like for the cross stitch … and began the crocheting… as simple as that … and I am very happy with how it is turning out…

Even though I have to crochet a total of 175 tiny squares (15×15)!!! woooohoooooo!!!

And this is not all … I have to make one S cushion for Sarah… and one J for little Joseph… one N for hubby (Nicolas) and maybe one A for myself (Angie) woooohoooo…

Should I calculate the total number of squares here ???

I better not 😀 I better enjoy the processing of making each cushion with a lovely frame and a nice crocheted edging 🙂

Have to leave you now my friend…

Hope to show you the cushion done very soon

I have to show you too the baby boy’s ripple (yes it is done too 🙂 )

Now we are going for a long weekend to the beach… See you next week!

Take care

Sending you BIG BIG Kisses

Paintings

Hello lovelies!

The girls are at home for the summer holidays so I managed last week some me-time in my craft room to finish some paintings for my sister’s home before the-children-time which will last for 3 hole months …. wooohooooo 🙂

I started this painting before even getting pregnant with baby Joe and stopped it…now it is done and I kind of like it even though it is too colorful…

and I painted two flowery ones..I know that my sister loves them… Hope that she will love these 😉

Now I have to tell goodbye to this beloved place … hoping to be back to it very very soon …

Have a cheerful week

Kisses
