A small update

Good morning my sweet friends

I’m missing blogging these days…

I’m missing blogging, knitting and crocheting 🙁

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 with 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 is not so difficult and I began… after many trials this is what I’ve been up to…

I’m very proud of myself 🙂 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 🙂

and more progress in the patchwork crocheted baby’s bedspread 😉

This will have to wait too…

but I’ll wait…what can I do? It is after all for a good cause 🙂

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 😉

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 and I’ve made some real progress in the “jacquard” thanks to some really good videos on youtube. Thank you for telling me about the videos… that helps a lot a lot 🙂

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

I started a “jacquard” cushion 🙂 hehe

Not very neat but I feel that I’m making progress in learning and that’s what counts eh? 😉

I’m really proud of myself 🙂 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 🙂

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 also 4 rows to add to the top (I don’t know if you’re understanding what I mean 🙂 ) That will be 68 squares left 🙂

but I’m enjoying crocheting it to the max 😀

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 … even though I can’t wait to see my little baby and hold him in my arms 🙂

I wish you a beautiful day wherever you are!

Thank you for visiting!

Hugs to all

Paintings and more

Good morning,

A BIG BIG thank you from my mum to all of you for your wonderful comments concerning her projects 🙂

Today, I want to show you two small finished paintings…

They are small, quick to make but I enjoyed painting them a lot…

I hope you liked them 🙂

I managed to make some progress on the baby bedspread too even though I’m spending most of my time watching the news… and praying…

The political situation is awful here and we are so afraid of another civil war 🙁

Please do join me in my prayers for my little country ….

Kisses to all!

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 🙂

Day after day my bump is slowly growing too 🙂

31 weeks of pregnancy 🙂

Will I give birth before or after finishing the bedspread???? 🙂

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 🙂

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 🙂

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 🙂 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 🙂 You are the best !

Sending you a lot of kisses!
