Something truly beautiful to share with you…

Hello sweet people,

Yesterday I received an amazing e-mail from a wonderful lady : Kerry Waldron (Aka Fiona 😉 ) … and I was like: “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW” mouth wide open for a few minutes in front of her pics… I even showed them to my husband 🙂

Wanna see? Wanna take a look to what Fiona did? yalla….

She crocheted one mini stockings advent calendar for her sister…

and another one for her mother…

and she is even crocheting a third one for herself 🙂 She is gonna fill the little socks with chocolate …

WOOOOOOOW!

You did such a wonderful job Fiona! You must be so proud 🙂 You are such a talented and patient woman 🙂

Isn’t she ?

I’m so happy about all your wonderful “versions” of the little Christmas socks ! It is such a pleasure to look at all these pics on the net and to know that a little everywhere around the world there is little Christmas socks in beautiful and warm homes 🙂

Crocheted blankets, Ripple

Ripples of happiness :)

Good morning my sweeties,

Such a beautiful monday morning today here in this very small part of the world…The sun is shining and even though it is a little cold I like the bright sunshine fresh beginning of the day 🙂

As you may already guessed, today’s post is a tadaaaa one and I am soooo thrilled to show you : Ripples of happiness in all its glory 🙂

I’m in love with this blanket (It is always the case with every project I finish 😉 ). It is so soft to touch so warm and cosy I can not resist wrapping myself in it every single night…

I did not make a proper border for this blanket as I wanted it to stay “curly” from both sides but I made a small edging to the beginning and the end sides and I just loved how it turned out 🙂

Crochet hook: 4.5 mm

The yarn used is: NAKO Nakolen a 50%wool, 50% acrylic yarn ( and I have a very happy news for you my sweeties: A person e-mailed me from Nako, I asked for you about an online shop and he said that it will be available soon 🙂 I’ll keep you informed as soon as I know more about it )

Blanket finished size: 120x170cm

You can find the pattern of this ripple here. I’ve made already my Ole Ole blanket using it …

This is my favorite pic (above) mmmm love love love it…

More pics for you to enjoy:

A close up to the edging made with crocheted little “picots”. Even though they are a little hard to crochet “picots” always makes simple but beautiful results …

I’ll leave you now with a last pic and wish you a wonderful and happy week!

Love you all !!

Christmas, Corners of my home, Crocheted little socks

Christmas on my mantel…

Good morning sweeties,

Yesterday was a very busy day for our family. We decorated all the house and we did not left any corner without a touch of Christmas…Yes, I know, that for some of you it is too early…but I love that Christmas spirit stays in our home for two hole months…we decorate on the 22th of November (Our Independence day off here ) and we take out everything end of January…that is some kind of tradition here 🙂 and I love traditions!

Today I’ll show you our mantel…just our mantel (because if I’ll show you everything (the tree, the shelves etc) there is more than 60 pics 😀 and that is too much…

I fall totally in love with these small nativity characters…they are like handmade but in ceramics …

They look like they are knitted and embellished with buttons and stitches 🙂

Yesterday night we were so tired that we slept the four of us very very early Christmas spirit in our heart …

My mother keeps saying that Christmas should be in our heart not in the house, the gifts etc… I try always to remember these words and find a right balance between the real meaning of Christmas and the fake Christmas of these days…

Lighting up the candles and saying a small prayer before going to bed was a bliss …

May Christmas spirit be always in your heart 🙂

Have a beautiful day!
