Trip

I am back :)

Good morninnnnnnnnnnnng!

How are you? It is soooo good to be back to blogland 🙂 I’ve had a terrific week and I feel rested and happy! Batteries are full again! Yeaaah! and I missed you all so much 🙂 When I opened again my computer, there was more than 600 new posts to read on my reader OHHHH huge 🙂 so I surely missed some of your beautiful creations and wips and lovely posts… I will surely read them all one by one 🙂 because I love to…

We’ve had a wonderful trip Hubby and me …A romantic cruise to 4 of the most beautiful cities…

I’ve posted pics on my facebook, if you’re interested in having a peek here they are:

-Our stay in Barcelona…a really really beautiful city…I fall in love with every stone of Barcelona …It is soo wonderful ! You can see my pics of Barcelona, HERE!

-Our stay in the frensh coast, in Cannes and a beautiful old village called: St Paul de Vence…Oh woow I really wished I can live there…St Paul de Vence is a wonderful village with old houses and flowers, flowers everywhere…my kind of place 🙂 Sooo beautiful and calm and PERFECT… HERE are some pics for you to enjoy!

– Our stay in Italy: Firenze and Civitavechia: It was a very short stay so we were always in a hurry and were not being able to enjoy it as we should…We will come back for sure for a longer stay in Italy … HERE are some pics!

And finally, our stay on the boat 🙂 A beautiful boat called: Liberty of the seas…You can see the pics HERE!

I’ll show you next time some small “souvenirs” I brought back with me from the trip! I stayed 8 days without crochet and could not find any craft shop during all my trip …so I really really really missed my yarn and hook 😉

Have a lovely day!

Kisses to all of you one by one 🙂

Trip

Goodbye! Arrivederci! Despedida! Aurevoir!

Helloooooo!

I’m packing 🙂

I’m a little sad to leave the girls for a whole week mainly because Sarah (my youngest) is not feeling well…she has fever, flu and a little sore throat…

but I’m happy too…I need those vacations, alone with my one and only, I need to rest far from my everyday’s routine … My battery need to be recharged 😉

So, my friend, have to go now! I’ll miss you for sure and I’ll be thinking of you during my trip!

See you very soon 🙂

Lots, lots of kisses!

P.S: If you order one of the “for-sale” patterns during this week, please note that you’ll receive it on May20 and not within 24 hours 🙂 Thank you for your understanding!

Crocheted cushion, fabric cushions, granny squares, patchwork, sewing, Small squares

Cushions, cushions and more cushions!

Goooooooooood morniiiiiiiiiing lovely people!

It’s a BOY!!! Yes, I’m expecting a boy and I’m really really happy about it 🙂 Some of you my friends suggested to keep the surprise for the birth but I can not …I’m too curious 🙂 I can not wait the whole 9 months to know if it will be a boy or a girl 🙂 I have to prepare crochet things too 😉

So, after my two girls (6 and 4 years old) I am very happy that number 3 is a boy 🙂 and I had tears in my eyes when I saw him moving inside me and hearing his heart beats …(I am sooo emotive when I’m pregnant … it is sometimes embarrasing in front of strangers 😀 )

Thank you so much for all your birthday greetings and your lovely messages 🙂 I am sooo lucky to have you all 🙂

Today, I will show you two new cushions I made lately 🙂 Yes, two 🙂 It’s cushionnnnn tiiiiiiiiiiiime 🙂

The first one is a patchwork crocheted one …I showed it to you as a wip…here it is: done 😉

I love it! It is sooo cute…don’t you think?

and then I made a second one inspired by the talented Lucy in her lovely post HERE. A fabric patchwork one ….Oh I am sooo proud of myself 🙂 This is the first time I ever made a patchwork and I love it too … see?

It is not perfect…It is made of small pieces of left over fabric and if you look closer you’ll discover that it is not perfect at all 🙂 but it is a first attempt and, no matter what you’ll say, I am proud of it 😀 hehe

I’ve even added some decorations 🙂

But don’t ask me about the zipper…hahaha…I will not show it to you … It is well hidden and not so nice to look at 🙂

But I promise, that next time, It will be better 🙂

but I love them together…two patchwork cushions…one crochet and one fabric…I thought about making one mixed (crocheted and fabric squares) but I don’t know what will it look like … have to try it…

I’m very happy that I don’t have anymore any beige cushions (the ones that comes with the sofas)… All are transformed 😉

And this is my latest purchase (the fabric one with the button in the middle)

Oh how I love cushions! I can’t help myself bying and making new ones…It is addictive 🙂

Have to go now… I’ll be far from you my sweeties in the coming week…I’m taking a break with Hubby to recharge our batteries 😉

The girls are staying in their grandparents house and we’ll be on a cruise (Barcelona (Spain)- Roma (Italy) – Florence (Italy) and Cannes France) and then back to Barcelona between May11 and May 18 😀

I am sooooo thrilled about this trip ! I’ll miss you all! But will come back very soon with lots of pics!

Kisses!

colors and yarns, Crocheted cushion, granny squares

On the hook…

Good morning sweeties,

I am so thankful for all the lovely comments you wrote concerning my home 🙂 I was so happy reading each word …some made me laugh and some brought tears to my eyes (don’t worry it is my “hormones” 🙂 ) Thank you sooo much! Your comments gave me back confidence about my decorating taste and the colors surrounding me…

You gave me back the joy I needed to live peacefully and happily in my loving home and that’s why I’m so thankful to you…You made me appreciate again my place…You really did a great job 😀 THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!

Today, I want to show you a cushion I’m working on…It is a patchwork cushion crocheted with leftover “Mirage” yarn…

I think my house is full of leftover yarn and I don’t have any ball of yarn that is still totally new 🙂

Mirage is a 100% acrylic yarn worked with a 2.5mm crochet hook. Wanna take a look first to the yarn used ?

Yes, I know, you are like myself a yarn-addict 😉 and you totally love to see yarn pics… I understand 🙂 hehe

I just love the colors and the softness of “Mirage”. The only drawback of this is that yarn is very thin (crocheted with a 2.5 mm hook) but it is ok and I try to get used to it…
