Colors make me happy

Good morning dear friends,

How are you? Hope that everything is OK and that you are surrounded by rainbows and colors everyday 🙂

Lat week was a colorful one in my small part of the world…

I’ve added more colorful washi tape and my collection is slowly growing 😉

I’ve played with my clover pompom making and enjoyed a lot these little colorful balls of yarn. Let me tell you something this clover thingy is totally addictive… so easy to make pompom that you feel like you want to add pompom everywhere around your house 🙂

I’ve made a garland to hide a little bit my hubby’s stereo (which I don’t like but he does 😉 )…

In this pic you can see it more clearly 🙂 Now, with the pompoms I don’t have a problem looking at it anymore 😀 hahaha…Crossing my fingers that hubby doesn’t read my posts 😀

Some new colorful flowers bought from the local market made me very happy too 🙂 I love fresh flowers…

I’m still not done with my granny blanket… joining a square every time I have a spare moment…

Still have 7 squares to add and then the edging…

Talking about edgings this book is great… I’m trying some of its borders but I have a feeling, a deep inside feeling, that finally I will make a very simple one … We’ll see 🙂

Have to go now my friend,

Some homely chores are waiting for me …

Wishing you love, sunshine and colors 🙂

Fall in love…

Gooooood morniiiiiiing 🙂

Let me begin this happy week by presenting you “fall” in love in all its glory. Yes, it is done and I am very satisified with how it turned out…

I simply fall in love with “fall” in love 🙂

I began this blanket at the beginning of this year…You can read its first post here. This blanket was made as a gift for my lovely cousin Nathalie known as Nato 🙂 And this is, I think, my fastest blanket…one little month and it was done 🙂

The blanket is a very good size couch blanket and it is crocheted with a 4mm crochet hook and the wonderful Nako Vizon a 100% acrylic yarn…

You can find the pattern of the squares here…They are simple classic squares joined as-I-go using the wonderful pattern of Lucy that you can read all about here…

As for the edging, I made a very simple one: 2 rounds of “arcade” (1sc, 3ch, 1sc) all around the blanket and a last round made of 2sc, 3ch, 2sc in every “arcade”…so I don’t know if it is called “picot” or no…it is just 2sc,3ch,2sc in each “arcade” and I really don’t know how I did to make them look so pointy 😉

I really really enjoyed crocheting this blanket…

And those warm colors are so my kind of color’s “pallette”

Nato and Bachir…I hope that you’ll enjoy this blanket, that it will keeps you warm and cosy during the cold days of winter… and that it will be a part of your loving home during the coming years of your life together 🙂

One last pic with “instagram” before leaving you today…

Hoping that you fall in love too 😉

Have to go now…Joe’s bath is calling me… 😀

Have a sunshiny and beautiful week,

Love to all!

P.S: Thank you all for joining me on Facebook…It is a real pleasure having you there 🙂
