Flower power

Hello my sweeties,

How are you today? Here the sky is gray and it is raining 🙁

Although the day is very dark I managed to take for you some pics of my finished painting … I could not wait to share with you 😉

Here it is: Flower power in all its glory…

Tadaaaaaaaaaaaa

I don’t know yet if I should leave the background white or should I paint it in a very light color (like light blue or light salmon)…what do you think?

Thank you all for your wonderful comments on my previous post …it is thanks to you that I had the “courage” to post about my painting…as I am not very confident about it (I’ve never been in my whole life 🙂 )

I’m finishing right now (slowly I can say) “stripes of love“…I still have 8 more rows to go and the edging… Hope I can show it to you done next week 😉

I’m off now to begin a new painting (don’t know from where came this strange passion for painting these days)

Sending you some colors to brighten up your day… (if it is as gray as mine !)

Have a wonderful week end 🙂

Meet Mike :) and a peek at my wip painting!

Mike is my friend! He is always with me…when I crochet, when I paint, when I sew and when I surf the net…

He lives in my craft room and he is very faithful 🙂

He was the first thing I crocheted 7 years ago without following any pattern … I kind of invented him 🙂 and I did not write its pattern anywhere, I did not have at that time a blog and you, my virtual friends, to share with …

He is not very beautiful, I don’t know exactly what he is…a monster? a strange creature? an animal? but I love him very much and I kind of talk to him during my craft time … He knows all my secrets…

He is saying : Hello! to you… He loves you already 🙂

 

After meeting Mike today, I want you to take a look at my wip painting…

It is not something WOW! but it have a soothing and calming effect on me…

Mixing colors and spreading them on a white canvas gives me a certain peace of mind I can not describe 🙂

It relaxes me as much as crochet and takes out all the stress of a gray day 🙂

This will become (I hope so :D):  flowers in a vase and it is called: flower power !! hehe (I’ll show it to you when it’s done!)

Hope you like!

BIG BIG BIG kisses 🙂

How to add rows to your already started ripple from the other side…

or how to add rows if you’re not pleased with your first colors rows and you don’t want to unravel…

or how to crochet your ripple from both sides…

Hello hello hello!

So, as you already guessed from the title(s) of this post, today I’m gonna show you how I changed the hole look of my ripple by adding some rows to its beginning side…

Let’s be clearer with some pics 😉

I’ve began my “Ripples of happiness” with the green color (as shown in these first two pics)

but I was not pleased with the first colors… so instead of unraveling the whole blanket (a thing that I hate sooo much to do), I improvised and I did a tricky thing 🙂

I just added some rows to the beginning part…(the green rows)

wanna learn how? well, well it is very easy…

If you’re following my pattern for your ripple all you have to do is:

1- turn your blanket

2- crochet on the beginning chain like on this graph:

The green part is the first already crocheted rows of my blanket… I turned it…and I started with the red color on the 1 symbol (on the right) and I followed the graph… It is like crocheting the opposite of the original pattern…

Just follow the graph 🙂 and you’ll make it…

For the symbols meanings:

and now, you can crochet your ripple and add more colors from both sides 😀

Have to go now…

I have an urgent need to paint … I’m going right now to take out my brushes and colors and make some flower painting… wanna join? 🙂

I’m sending you colors and love through this post… catch them!!

Have a super monday!
