A small update

Good morning my sweet friends

I’m missing blogging these days…

I’m missing blogging, knitting and crocheting ๐Ÿ™

I have the carpal tunnel syndrome … I am having tingling and numbness in my hands … and this is making me crazy…preventing me from working with my hands… which I’m not used too…at all…

and I still have two weeks to go before my C-section due date … Grrrrr… how to pass the time when you can not do anything withย your hands??? tell me…

This is a quick update with all my wips…I have to show you…even though I’m working like 1% of my usual hobby time and my fingers are hurting me like crazy…

First, my mother taught me how to follow knitting instructions from a book to make a little sweater for my baby…

It isย not so difficultย and I began… after many trials this is what I’ve been up to…

I’m very proud of myself ๐Ÿ™‚ hehe and I feel like a bright new door opened for me… even though I’ll have to wait for this bad carpal tunnel syndrome to go away…

I’ve made little progress in the jacquard cushion too… adding small hearts ๐Ÿ™‚

and more progress in the patchwork crocheted baby’s bedspread ๐Ÿ˜‰

This will have to wait too…

but I’ll wait…what can I do? It is after all for a good cause ๐Ÿ™‚

Have to go now… excuse me if I’ll be less present here in the coming days…

I’ll miss you for sure…

Big big kisses to you through this post…

See you soon ๐Ÿ˜‰

A little bit of this…a little bit of that

Good morning sweeties,

I’ve enjoyed reading your comments and your experiences concerning crochet v/s knitting on my previous post… Most of you prefers crochet and I think that will be the case for me too…

Now I’m still learning and enjoying the music of my needles…I discovered the joy of crocheting with bamboo needles andย I’ve madeย some real progress in the “jacquard” thanks to some really good videos on youtube. Thank you for telling me about the videos… that helpsย a lotย a lot ๐Ÿ™‚

So, here is what I’ve been up to in knitting…

I started a “jacquard” cushion ๐Ÿ™‚ hehe

Not very neat but I feel that I’m making progress in learning and that’s what counts eh? ๐Ÿ˜‰

I’m really proud of myself ๐Ÿ™‚ hehe

Now, I’m waiting for my mummy to teach me how to follow instructions to make a small vest for my baby…

I’ve made some progress too on the baby’s patchwork bedspread …

I really really love it ๐Ÿ™‚

I decided to add 1 row on each side (right and left) so it will drop more nicely from each side… and I still have alsoย 4 rows to add to the top (I don’t know if you’re understanding what I mean ๐Ÿ™‚ ) That will be 68 squares left ๐Ÿ™‚

but I’m enjoying crocheting it to the max ๐Ÿ˜€

My due date is around september 15 …so I still have around 3 weeks to go…I give birth by Cesarian so I began feeling a little stressed about the day …ย even though I can’t wait to see my little baby and hold him in my arms ๐Ÿ™‚

I wish you a beautiful day wherever you are!

Thank you for visiting!

Hugs to all

Little things…

Hello hello hellooooo!

How are you today? Hope everything is good…

My mother made a couple of things for my baby that I want to show you today…I hope you’ll like ๐Ÿ˜‰

First, there is a crocheted blanket…

She created the design herself ๐Ÿ™‚ Isn’t it lovely?

and then she knited a little sweater with its assorted socks on the same “sea” theme…

I think she took the pattern of the little sweater from the latest “Marie Claire idees”ย magazine.

I just love this marine set ๐Ÿ™‚

And my adorable mummy made a couple of little vests too and another lovely brown knitted sweater…

and a beautiful “nid d’ange”. I don’t know how we call these in English…It is aย kind of long sweater closed from down that we put for our babies on cold days before going out …

I’m very proud of you mum ๐Ÿ™‚ You are my very first inspiration…and I still have a lot to learn from you …Thank you for everything!

and my friends…

tomorrow…

“le monde de Sucrette” will turn two ๐Ÿ™‚

Two years with you my lovelies ๐Ÿ™‚ Two years of blogging thanks to you ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m very happy to celebrate with you this second year …

Cheers!

Day after day…

Day after day, the bedspread I’m crocheting is slowly growing…

two more rows every week…

I am really really enjoying this blanket…

Choosing the colors, crocheting the squares and joining them as-I-go…a pleasure to make ๐Ÿ™‚

Day after day my bump is slowly growing too ๐Ÿ™‚

31 weeks of pregnancy ๐Ÿ™‚

Will I give birth before or after finishing the bedspread???? ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you so much for being here…

Thank you for asking, for caring, for writing kind words…

You’ll never know how much you mean to me ๐Ÿ™‚

Have a fabulous day!

Baby’s bedspread progress

Good morning!

More progress on the baby’s bedspread to show you today…

This bedspread will be for the single adult bed I’ll have in the nursery’s room…This bed will be for myself the first months when I’ll have to wake up every two three hours to feed him…and after it will be for him when he’ll be old enough to sleep in it ๐Ÿ™‚

I am now in my 31 weeks of pregnancy and I’m giving birth by C-section around september 15… if everything goes well until then…

I feel like I’m a big big cow now…and with the hot weather here I can barely move … being pregnant in summer is not enjoyable at all ๐Ÿ™‚ I must confess…

That’s all my friend…Hope you liked how the bedspread is turning out…

See you very very soon!

Thank you for visiting and for all the nice wishes you left on my wedding anniversary post ๐Ÿ™‚ You are the best !

Sending you a lot of kisses!
