Blooming flower, Corners of my home

Blooming flower cushion !

Good morning!

Hope you’ve had a great week end !

My blooming flower cushion is done…and the result is blooming wonderful 🙂 wanna see?

I just love it!

The pattern is from the stunning blog of Lucy and you can find it here!

It is very easy to follow once you’ve crocheted the 5 first rounds… You have to try it! It is addictive ! and the result is beautiful …

The yarn used is called: Mirage. It is a 100% acrylic yarn crocheted with a 3.5mm crochet hook.

The back is…….well… a fabric one 😉 I always sew my crocheted side to a fabric cushion… tssssssss I’m a lazy person 🙂

I enjoyed so much making this cushion that I’m thinking about crocheting another one with a chunkier yarn and a 5mm hook… but but but I have to finish at least one of my wips first 😀

and I already began my ripple…will show you some pics very soon… There is already so many beautiful ones in the flickr group here and I am soooo thrilled by this project…. a ripple is one of y favorite things to crochet!

Happy week to you!

and THANK YOU always for visiting 🙂

ciao ciaoooooooo

colors and yarns, Ripple, Stripes

YARN how I love you :)

Good morning sweeties!

When I went yarn shopping 2 days ago I was singing in the rain 🙂 Yes, it was raining and the sky was dark grey but I had sunshine in my heart and I was sooo joyful! I think one of my best things to do is yarn shopping and I know that I am not alone 😉

So, I chose some yarn to add to my “Stripes of Love”, my Husband’s blanket…

Yes, I know, not my-kind-of-colors … but I like them… and they will be great when added to the blanket…

and I chose some more yarn so I can start a ripple and join the ripple along held by Lucy and Heather !

I don’t know yet when I’ll begin my ripple…I have two blankets on the go, you know, and this ripple will be my third blanket on the go :S but I could not resist… (who could?)

So I bought some yummy yarn in delicious colors 🙂

Here they are: 15 colors so far:

dark green – very light green – red – blue – orange – leaf green – light salmon

very light blue – dark red – yellow mustard – deep pink – light turquoise – dark mauve – green – purple

Don’t know yet if I’ll use them all and if I’ll add some more colors or no….

but I looooooooove them! The colors are really really beautiful in “live”…

The yarn is called Nako Nakolen. It is a 50% wool 50% acrylic blend….

Very soft and so perfect to crochet with… I keep opening the box, touching the yarn, dreaming and closing the box 🙂 (crazy crazy crazy crazy)

My hand is itching and I don’t know yet when my resistance will fail and I’ll finally begin my “Ripples of happiness” (This is how I’m gonna call this blanket to be)

So, I’m going right right now to join the ripple along! There is a flickr group here ! Come on, join me there! It will be a lovely experience 🙂

Have a terrific day!

P.S: My blooming flower cushion is done so a tadaaaa post is coming very soon….Stay tuned 😉

Crocheted blankets, Crocheted cushion, Stripes

Stripes of love…more progress

Good morniiiiing!

Hope you’re feeling well today 🙂

I’ve added more stripes to my Hubby’s blanket… This blanket is slowly growing and I love it so far… and I love every stitch crocheted while thinking of him …

I even added purple as my friend Debi suggested … and it turned out very nice with the other colors… (Thank you Debi!)

What do you think? Is it still masculine? My hubby loves it so far and he don’t care so much for the colors …he just told me that he wants it to be big …big enough for him and that means VERYYY BIG 🙂 Hope I’ll not get bored… 😉

but I do not get bored easily as I have many wips… and I mix between them 🙂

Now I ran out of yarn for this blanket…This is the perfect excuse to go yarn shopping today!! yehhhhhhhhh!!

I just LOOOOVEEE to buy yarn … I’m gonna add some for Stripes of Love and some more so I can join the ripple along held by Lucy and Heather! I’m very happy to start a new ripple… It is always soo good to start a project…

specially if it is a blanket! Although I have two blankets on the go right now I am sooo thrilled to start a third one!!!

Wishing you a Wonderful Wednesday!

Crocheted doily, flowers, Lovely things, Pitcher

A new pitcher and an old doily…

Hello my friend!

Hope you’re spending a joyful week end…

Today, I want to show you my new pitcher… Isn’t it lovely? I adore it 🙂 It is hand painted and so colorful and fresh…I could not resist … 🙂

and do you see this colorful doily? Isn’t it beautiful? I crocheted it 7 years ago when I was newly wed 🙂 I was sooo patient before having kids 🙂 hehe

I used to crochet with very thin thread and a very tiny crochet hook… but that was long time ago…before discovering the joy of crocheting with thick colorful yarn 🙂

I think I can not make anymore this kind of project : sooo many small squares crocheted with a tiny tiny kind of thread… can you?

Can you mix between to different kind of crochet wips? one with chunky yarn and another with very very thin kind of thread? and enjoy them both?

I, myself, could not…I can easily mix between many wips but with the same kind of yarn…and I think that crocheting with very thin thread is somehow boring and too long … Can not make you wait too long between two tadaaaaaaaa 😉 hehe

So, if you’re working on colorful tiny crochet project or you already did something similar in the past I would really really appreciate to see your pics…

Have to go now…

Thank you so much for visiting today and a BIG thank you for being here and leaving such sweet messages …

Have a wonderful week end!

Crocheted blankets, Flower in a square, simple thoughts

Simple thoughts: With just one click …

Good morning!

While I am sitting today in my favorite chair in front of the window drinking my coffee and joining some squares to My vintage blanket I was thinking about life, our life, our 2011 life…

It is strange how our hole life has changed since the invention of the internet…

Do you think sometimes about it? How our grandmothers used to live and how we are living today? How..

with just one click I can go to your place…

with just one click I can knock to your door (and it is always open for me)…

with just one click I can be at your home, in your very own and personal environment …

with just one click I can watch your children grow…

with just one click I can see how you’re spending your days…

with just one click I can take a look at your wips, get some inspiration and dream…

with just one click I can feel that you are sad or happy…

with just one click I can feel that you’re in love or in a very very bad mood…

with just one click I can leave you a sweet message to brighten up your day, tell you that I am thinking of you, that I admire your work, I feel your pain or joy or just tell you : Hello!…

with just one click I’ll be with you while it is still 10.00 a.m here and it’s maybe in the middle of the night there, where you are, in the other part of the world…

with just one click we can be together wherever we are…

with just one click I can send you kisses, warm thoughts and hugs…

with just one click I can wish you a beautiful day, a wonderful evening, sunshine and colorful moments…

with just one click…
