Christmas on my tree…

Good morning!

Some pics today to show you our Christmas tree…It is very colorful I must warn you 😉

… and my girls are very proud of it … They helped us a lot with the decoration this year and they say that it is the most wonderful tree of the world 🙂 (I think all children say that) and when somebody comes to visit they run madly to show him (her) the tree 🙂

There is a lot of handmade items I made through the years… and every item hanged have its own memory and story…

…and there is also 900 colorful lights so in the night time it is like a sparkling paradise 🙂 You can stay all night long just looking at it…I have to take some night pics to show you….

and you? did you decorate your tree or not yet?

I’ve began also a new crochet wip … mmmm… love it so far…. will tell you all about it very soon 😉

Thank you for visiting today…

Take good care of yourself and stay warm 🙂

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!

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 🙂

Sucrette goes shopping :)

Hello my lovelies!

Hope you’re having a fun week end wherever you are!

Yesterday, like you already guessed from the title of this post I did some shopping! No, no not any normal kind of shopping…MY kind of shopping and I’m soo thrilled to show you what I found with a very very good price!

A bird cage:

I felt sooo in love with this cage and on my way back home I was already planning what to put inside 🙂 yeah yeahhhh!

A parrot? love birds? NO!!!NOOOO! (I sooo hate animals in cages! specially birds ! Aren’t they meant to be free? When I was a kid I once opened the door of the cage to a lovely parrot when we were visiting some of my parent’s friends! I’ll let you imagine what happened next 😉 hehe)

So? did you guessed what I put inside?

Hearts!
