Good morning sweeties,

I’ve been crocheting a lot…a really lot these days…It seems like the hook is burning in my hands and yarn is flying everywhere around me 🙂 A lot of creative ideas are melting in my head and I feel every night that I am running out of time to make all I want to make and I wish that the days were longer (a 48h day is good for me 😉 )

I am working on more than 4 wips at the same time…Yes, each day I am picking 3 different hook sizes and working with them… crochet crochet crochet every second of my free time 🙂

Here are some…yes some of my wips of the moment…

* My poncho: The front is done…All the circles of the back are done too…Still have to join them and sew the front and the back together and decide on an edging 🙂 So, a tadaaa post very soon 😉

* The crochet mood blanket… January 25… 25 squares done so far…I am adoring this project 🙂 and how the squares of my moody days are coming along together beautifully…

* A new granny cushion with the wonderful mirage yarn 🙂 I love the colors of the mirage range but it is a thinner yarn worked with a 3.25 mm hook so small projects are done with it (You see I am not so patient to work a blanket with this yarn 🙂 )

* A new secret project with a chunky yarn will be revealed to you very soon I hope 😉

Blogging about my wips is a way for me to stay focused on them and remember to finish some before beginning others. That don’t always work … but I am trying my best 😉

Wishing you a wonderful creative week!

Kisses from the bottom of my heart

December

There is something I don’t love about December… It is the stress behind this season… The stress sometimes takes out all the beautiful mood you should be feeling in this holy season… I am a “routine” kind of person… I love my every-day and try to just live the moment… Every year I tell myself I should begin early with the Christmas preparations so I don’t stress and stress all my family…

So, this year, I began early …

The house is already on Christmas mode…

The tree is up…

The gifts are (almost) ready and packed…

There is good chocolate in every corner…

Every single detail is pretty organised in my beloved yellow filofax…

I am even finding some time to crochet…

and add some squares to the granny blanket which is slowly but surely growing 🙂 (Will it become a bedspread?)

I have even picked up an old wip and I’m falling in love with it all over again…

So, my friend, this year, I am trying to relax and just enjoy this holy season without stress…

And I wish you the same 🙂

Relax, take it easy and have a beautiful warm week filled with joy, laugher and Christmas spirit.

BIG BIG Kisses

Just another week has gone by and I’m still here doing the ordinary every day stuff…

Crocheting a lot…

Adding grannies to my blanket…

Adding rows to my knitting cowl… 😉

Adding some new candlesticks to my growing collection…

Decluttering some shelves and loving the result…

Savouring delicious books and discovering a new filofax-kind of-passion-obsession…

Enjoying home and dreaming a lot too 🙂

"done", Classic square, Crocheted blankets

Happy happy happy :)

Good morning!

I am happy happy happy to show you today the happy blankie in all its glory 🙂

It is finally finished and I love how it is right at home here 🙂

Lots of reds, oranges and yellows to match the warm colors of my home …

I love it….looooove it and can’t wait for the cold days to snuggle under it. I think that we are all here waiting for that 😉

I crocheted this blanket with a 4mm crochet hook and used my faithful Nako Vizon 100% acrylic yarn. ( The Nako Vizon is very similar to the stylecraft special DK between.)

The pattern of each square is very classic and can be found here.

As for the joining: I joined the squares with a line of sc. I held each two squares together (back on back) and worked the sc in the back loop of the two facing stitches.

For the edging, when the blanket is very colorful like this one I prefer to have a simple edging: 3sc, 1sc-3ch-1sc, 3sc, 1sc-3ch-1sc, etc etc Or if you want it is: 3sc, 1 picot, 3sc, 1 picot 😉

I love picots and I find them very beautiful on a blanket edge 🙂

I am so in love with my happy blankie. It is made with 155 squares (11×14) and I think that it will be cherished for many years to come …

Have to go now… A lot of wips are waiting for me…

A lot of work in my place too… A lot of everyday family chores but this blog is always in my heart and you too…

So, my sweeties, I hope to be back to you very soon…

Until then, take good care of yourself, stay warm (under a blanket or two 😉 ) and have always sunshine in your heart…

Love and kisses
