Happy happy happy :)

 

Good morning!

I am happy happy happy to show you today the happy blankie in all its glory πŸ™‚

HAPPY-BLANKIE-1

It is finally finished and I love how it is right at home here πŸ™‚

HAPPY-BLANKIE-2

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

HAPPY-BLANKIE-3

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 thatΒ πŸ˜‰

HAPPY-BLANKIE-4

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

HAPPY-BLANKIE-5

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

HAPPY-BLANKIE-6

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.

HAPPY-BLANKIE-7

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 πŸ˜‰

I love picots and I find them very beautiful on a blanket edge πŸ™‚

HAPPY-BLANKIE-8

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 …

HAPPY-BLANKIE-9

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

HAPPY-BLANKIE-10

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…

HAPPY-BLANKIE-11

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

HAPPY-BLANKIE-12

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

Love and kisses

Another week…

Good mornng everyone!

Another week had gone by so quickly and I feel like I am such a bad blogger πŸ™ Don’t know what’s happening to me… why am I always so busy…why am I always so tired… that I sleep sometimes around 9:00 pm…

A lot happened in my colorful world this past week…a lot I did not blog about…

1-playroom

A bunting has been added to the playroom… (please look at the bunting and ignore the mess πŸ™‚ )

2-sarah-6-years-old

A birthday has been celebrated…This little girl of mine turned 6 πŸ™‚

3-kitchen-crochet-shelves

4-kitchen-crochet-shelves

Some lovely cotton-crocheted-by-my-mother-shelves have been added to my kitchen…

5-kitchen-crochet-shelves

Oh mum you are THE BEST πŸ™‚ THANK YOUUUUUUUU for these beauties πŸ™‚

6-kitchen-crochet-shelves

This is the kind of crochet I can not simply do… I am not so patient you see πŸ™‚

7-kitchen-crochet-shelves

Crocheting with this thin cotton thread is simply magic and my mother is that kind of fairy πŸ™‚

8-new-bins

Some spotty colorful bins have been added to the kitchen too…

The first 100g of soft blue has been crocheted on the “I heart you” shawl…

10-happy-blankie-squares

55 squares have been almost added to the happy blankie squares (yes almost…the 4th row is still missing for 20 of them πŸ™‚ )

You see a lot happened…

I feel like I am a loving but exhausted mum…

a happy hooker …

but such a bad blogger…

Hope that things will get better on this front soon πŸ˜‰

Wishing you a wonderful week my friend!
