Happy Valentine’s day!

Hello!

I like to post this special poem to my heart each Valentine’s day on this blog here 🙂 It is written by Gibran Khalil Gibran a Lebanese poet we are very proud of 🙂

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. And, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each others cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each others keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each others shadow.

Gibran Khalil Gibran

Happy Valentine’s day to you my special friends,

May LOVE be always in your home and in your heart!

"done", poncho

My poncho

It is done! YAAAAAAAAAAAAY! It was done last week but could’t share it because the children ( all 3 ) were sick at home. Today the girls feel better and are back to school. Baby Joe is still at home but he is feeling much better too 🙂 So, today, life is good again and I thought about sharing with you my poncho 🙂

You know that I don’t like to see myself in pics so this is me without the head 🙂

I think I will not wear it outside the house… It will be a kind of “wearable blanket” that keeps me warm while I move around 🙂

Hubby is jealous 😉

It was crocheted with a 100% acrylic yarn called Nako Vizon. It is very similar to the Stylecraft DK but a little little bit thicker. The hook used is a 4.5 mm one.

A white background would be better for this pic I know…

The squares of this poncho were joined as-I-g0. I did the front and the back separately and sew them together at the end. You can find the chart of the squares on the right sidebar of my blog under the name : circle in a square. (I don’t know why I can not make a proper link here 🙂 Sometimes I just don’t understand this computer 🙂

Some close up pics 🙂

with curious little hands 🙂

I used the moss stitch to make the edging. (1sc-1ch-1sc etc etc ) and added some picots for the last round 😉

Did I say that I am in love with my poncho? No not yet…

Well… I AM MADLY TOTALLY TRULY IN LOVE WITH MY PONCHO.

I am right now wearing it while writing this post 🙂 and I want to make two more for the girls 🙂 Maybe with a thinner yarn and without the black background of course … We’ll see 😉

Until then stay warm (under a blanket or a poncho)

and have a beautiful sunshiny and colorful day!

Love

Corners of my home, Crochet mood blanket 2014, poncho

Bye bye January

Hello there!

January is gone … Here is a quick update to share with you…

My crochet mood blanket 2014 – January

It’s been a good month. Some dark squares here and there mostly caused by the ugly situation in my country. But it was a not-so-bad month for me .

I love how this blanket is turning… I love how I can see clearly the whole month in a rectangle of crocheted small squares 🙂

I love my moody project 🙂

Home wise, a new couch has been bought for the sitting room. Our sitting room is a big one. Now we can lay down all of us five, feets up and curly under warm crocheted blankets 🙂

Yes, this couch is huge… really HUGE… It is a BIG Ushaped couch …

No, you can not see how huge it is… On the next pic you’ll see it clearly 😉

But believe me my house is not always as tidy as on this pic… This is a very rare pic I’ll have to look at from time to time 😉

And finally this is my poncho coming to an end 🙂 It is 99% done and I am now crocheting the last row of its edging . A tadaaa post is coming very soon 🙂

I love my poncho and I keep trying it on and dansing in front of the mirror like a stupid teenager 🙂 Love can make you stupid I know 🙂

That’s all for now 🙂 Thank you so much for visiting!

See you very soon my friend!

Take care

Sucrette

P.S: Thank you so much for your support concerning my heart cushion pattern. It really means to me a lot 🙂

You can find it from now on with the other patterns on the right sidebar of the blog!

“I heart you” cushion

Hello!

The pattern is ready! It is an english written pattern with step-by-step pictures and it includes too small charts of the flower and the leaves that I sew on it 🙂

It is an amigurumi kind of pattern and you’ll need some chunky yarn (approximately 100 to 150g) , a hook, stuffing and a stitch maker.

Once you purchase the pattern, I’ll send it to you within 24 hours. Please be patient, sometimes it is night time in my country while it is the morning in yours. I’ll try my best to check on my mails 2 to 3 times per day 🙂

You can buy it from HERE.

Hope you’ll enjoy it!

Happy crocheting 🙂
