Another week…

Good mornng everyone!

Another week had gone by so quickly and I feel like I am such a bad blogger πŸ™ Don’t know what’s happening to me… why am I always so busy…why am I always so tired… that I sleep sometimes around 9:00 pm…

A lot happened in my colorful world this past week…a lot I did not blog about…

1-playroom

A bunting has been added to the playroom… (please look at the bunting and ignore the mess πŸ™‚ )

2-sarah-6-years-old

A birthday has been celebrated…This little girl of mine turned 6 πŸ™‚

3-kitchen-crochet-shelves

4-kitchen-crochet-shelves

Some lovely cotton-crocheted-by-my-mother-shelves have been added to my kitchen…

5-kitchen-crochet-shelves

Oh mum you are THE BEST πŸ™‚ THANK YOUUUUUUUU for these beauties πŸ™‚

6-kitchen-crochet-shelves

This is the kind of crochet I can not simply do… I am not so patient you see πŸ™‚

7-kitchen-crochet-shelves

Crocheting with this thin cotton thread is simply magic and my mother is that kind of fairy πŸ™‚

8-new-bins

Some spotty colorful bins have been added to the kitchen too…

9-I-heart-you-shawl-one-skein

The first 100g of soft blue has been crocheted on the “I heart you” shawl…

10-happy-blankie-squares

55 squares have been almost added to the happy blankie squares (yes almost…the 4th row is still missing for 20 of them πŸ™‚ )

You see a lot happened…

I feel like I am a loving but exhausted mum…

a happy hooker …

but such a bad blogger…

Hope that things will get better on this front soon πŸ˜‰

Wishing you a wonderful week my friend!

Kisses

55 more…

Just a quick post today to say hello…

I’ve began joining the squares of my happy blankie then I just realized I needed 55 more πŸ™‚ Yeah! 55! It is a very small blanket like it is now so I have to make it bigger and add 5 rows of 11 squares each πŸ™‚

I love love love this blanket so much and I really want it to be perfect in size…So…

I am off now to crochet 55 more squares πŸ™‚

Have a beautiful day!

Sucrette

P.S: I apologize for my lack of posts these days… I am making-cleaning-organising all the closets of my home and it is taking me ages to finish!!! Hope to be back for good here next week πŸ˜‰

Hello there!

Good morning sweeties,

I’ve been away from this blog due to some family time, school preparations and home organisation….pfff… Next week I’ll be taking some rest finally… and I’ll be more present here (I hope so…)

I missed you guys and missed blogland and missed writing on this blog…Life can sometimes be like a race against time (google translate thank you πŸ™‚ )

applique-cushion-with-hearts-1

I thought I’ll pop by today just to show you little bits of my creative life… There is so much going on there but so little time for blogging… I finished the cushion you saw above… I sew these hearts by hand and I like how it turned out…

applique-cushion-with-hearts-2

I am still working on these granny squares (that I still don’t know what they’ll become hahahaha )

granny-with-white-1

I am loving this project so much! Oh how I love granny squares πŸ™‚

granny-with-white-2

It is I think the best thing I love to crochet… granny squares πŸ™‚

granny-with-white-4

And I love how the colors melt together… A perfect project for quite evenings when the children are in bed FINALLY … It isΒ the best hour… I feel like all the tiredness of the day just goes away when I hold my hook… around 8 o’clock…

granny-with-white-3

and I started something new too… (can’t help myself) (If you follow me on facebook or instagram you already saw this pic below)…

It is a shawl in the most perfect and soft blue color… (This pic does not show the color as it is “live” I’ll try next time to have a more accurate pic πŸ˜‰ )

I asked hubby when showing him this : What are you seeing? He answered: Nothing. πŸ™‚ But I was really happy that when I posted the pic on instagram and facebook you ladies saw hearts like myself…Yes, I saw hearts and fell in love with this…

It is a very old paper (a photocopie in black and white) I found in my mother’s house and I just could not help myself trying out the diagram… and it worked… and I am loving how it is turning out… So, if you’re interested, I’ll try to take a pic of the diagram and post itΒ for you…

That’s all sweet ladies around the globe… It was a pleasure being with you today… I’m sending you all my love and lots of kisses!

Thank you for visiting, for commenting and for asking about the situation in my country… You can never imagine how much I appreciate your kind messages πŸ™‚

THANK YOU!

An update ;-)

Good morning!

Yes, I’m still alive… I think that’s how I should start each post from now on …

No…This is such a stupid joke …eh?

We have to laugh about it so we will not cry…That’s how the situation is in my little country Lebanon these days…

Anyhow… A BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG THANK YOU! THANKS TO ALL OF YOU! Each and everyone THANK YOU!

You can not imagine how much each and every comment you wrote on my last post touched me deaply… Some of your words made me cry… And they all made me realize how much this whole blog-friendship is important to me and to my mental health… I am really THANKFUL for your words, your kindness, your prayersΒ and your love… I wish I could hug you all πŸ™‚

Today, I am showing you little bits of my creative life…These little wips that are allowing me to remain “normal” and to not become insane every time one of my family member leave home…

So, my lovelies, this is the latest acrylic painting I am working on right now…

My-village

This is my village πŸ™‚ It is called: Beit Chabeb

The painting is not over yet…I still have to add small details (I just love this last “stage” of a painting… just like edging a crocheted blanket πŸ˜‰ ) but I thought about showing it to you like a wip…

And …

crazy-ripple-32-rows-1

This is the crazy ripple so far….

32 rows …that means 16 hours of crochet…wowwww πŸ™‚

Do you love the colors?

crazy-ripple-zoom-in

IΒ adore them πŸ™‚ I love how they melt together…

crazy-ripple-zoom-in-2

That’s all I have for today my friends!

Have to leave you now…and I hope to be back to you very very soon…

Until then take good care of yourself…

and THANK YOU once again for just being here… Your presence is all that matters πŸ™‚

Hug and love

Sucrette
