Monday again!

Good morning ladies!

How are you? Time really flies …here we are already in march…and it is monday again 🙂 I love the smell of spring of march 🙂

I’ve began two new wips I want to share with you today 🙂

A baby blanket for a cousin of mine who’s expecting a little princess in July 🙂

Here is a close up of the squares I’m making…

I love this blanket… I added to its original square a round of dc …to add more white…

I am loving how it is turning out and I’ve already done all the circles (the first two rounds of them 😉 )

The second wip is a cowl for myself…a very big cowl that I can fold two times around my neck….

I am working it using the moss stitch (1sc, 1ch, 1sc, 1ch) etc

I simply loooove that stitch 🙂

I am crocheting it with the “MIRAGE” a 100% acrylic yarn but instead of the 3mm hook suggested on the yarn I am using a 5mm hook to have a light effect…

Finally lovely ladies a pic of my bundle of joy who’s enjoying his new toy…

and who became now a big baby sleeping in the bigger bed which was for his sisters 🙂

Yes, time really flies 🙂

Have a wonderful week

and see you very soon!

P.S: I’ve posted today the two parcels for the winners of the giveaway…They will be flying from Lebanon to the U.S Texas to Carolyn’s home and to Germany to Jutta’s home …Crossing my fingers that they will arrive safely 🙂

Bad days :(

We’ve been through some very bad days here at home 🙁 We are all sick now fighting an awful virus 🙁 It all started with christina on Saturday morning…then baby Joe…then Sarah…then it was my turn and today it is my hubby’s turn 🙁 You can not imagine how hard it is to take care of three sick little children when you are very sick too…a high fever that nothing brings down… I’ve never been through something so awful in my life…Today, Christina and Joe are a little better…SO there is hope for all of us to get through this…

I’ll have to postpone the giveaway for one more week… I am so happy to have more than 300 comments right now…IT was a real pleasure reading them during these bad days…SO, my lovelies, I’ll pick up two names on Friday March the first…SO, if you did not yet, you still have more than one week to leave a comment on this post and have a chance to win one of the two gifts…

And I have so many posts to catch up with you…
The little cute thing I was making on this post…
My granny shawl which is done and looking gorgeous…
A new wip I’ll have to show you too…I must 🙂

Hoping that we’ll get through these bad days…
Crossing my fingers to get back to you as soon as possible…
And wishing you all healthy days because health is the most important thing…

Before and after, Corners of my home

The rocking chair: before and after :)

Gooooood morning my friend!

I am super duper happy today to show you the rocking chair and its before and after…

I know that many of you suggested that I leave it in its original color … sorry 🙁 I couldn’t …as I did not like at all its sad grey color… I had to transform it so every time I look at it I have a smiley idiot face 🙂 hahaha

I loved every suggestion you left for me… and after the original post I was a little bit confused between all these wonderful ideas: red, yellow, beige, blue, green, orange woooow! Wish I could have it in a different color each day…but I had to make a choice and here it was…

Are you readyyyyyyyy?

Before:

After:

Yes, a blue lavender…the pics don’t show the color as it is “live”…The real color is a little bit more “purple” if you see what I mean…

This is the fabric I chose…

I am really really really so in love with my rocking chair as I keep changing the blanket and the pillow on it… and looking at it and smiling 🙂 yes, that idiot smile 😉

Two last pics for you…

Excuse the pics…the light was too much strong this morning…but I could not resist taking the pics as soon as I woke up 🙂

Thank you dear friend for your visit today… I am always very happy to have you and to read your sweet and kind mails and comments 🙂

Have a lovely sunshiny day!

Sucrette

P.S: I am still preapring the cute little crocheted “thing”…hope to show it to you soon 😉
