Hello there!

As I am enjoying joining the squares of the baby blanket and I am loving it so so so much!

I am feeling a little better now…On Thursday, I’ll be removing the stitches of the surgery πŸ™‚ Spring is back in my heart too πŸ™‚

Hoping that spring is in your home and your heart

I wish you a springy week!

4 and 6

Gooooood morning!

How’s everything? You are surely wondering what are these two numbers about…

Well…

4 is the number of wips ( work in progress) I’m crocheting right now… Yes 4… Is it too much? Can a girl have 4 wips? I can’t resist beginning new projects that is why I have so many wips…

Do you want to have a peek? Ok…

Wip number 1:

a-2nd-granny-shawl-wip1

A new granny shawl… but this time I’ll keep it for myself cause I really really need a big shawl for spring and fall…

I’m loving these colors… The yarn is Nako Vizon a 100% acrylic yarn with a 5mm crochet hook …

a-2nd-granny-shawl-wip2

And the pattern, like for the first granny shawl, is here πŸ˜‰

Wip number 2:

baby-blanket-squares

The baby blanket I’m making for my cousin. All the circles are done and I am slowly making the white border now πŸ™‚ Very happy with these squares πŸ™‚

Wip number 3:

cowl-1

The cowl with the moss stitch… Even though I’m not sure I can still wear it this year as it’s already almost spring here… I love crocheting it… stitch after stitch… I just love this stitch…did I said that before?

cowl-2

and finally Wip number 4:

shawl-1

Another triangle shawl but this time with just one colour following a free pattern on Ravelry called South Bay Shawlette

shawl-2

I fall in love with that shawl and could not resist beginning one … and I can tell you something …it is totally ADDICTIVE … and once you get used to the pattern it is very very easy to follow πŸ™‚

These were my 4 wips…now for number 6… did you guess what it’s about?

bb-Joe-6-months-old

It is my little Joseph who turned 6 months old this week πŸ™‚

bb-Joe-6-months-old-1

I’m crazy in love with this little guy … He’s my sunshine πŸ™‚

bb-Joe-6-months-old-2

Leaving you with this cute pic of my angel’s little feets …

and wishing you a beautiful day!

Love to all!

Monday again!

Good morning ladies!

How are you? Time really flies …here we are already in march…and it is monday again πŸ™‚ I love the smell of spring of march πŸ™‚

I’ve began two new wips I want to share with you today πŸ™‚

A baby blanket for a cousin of mine who’s expecting a little princess in July πŸ™‚

baby-blanket-yarn

baby-blanket-wip1

baby-blanket-wip2

Here is a close up of the squares I’m making…

baby-blanket-wip3

I love this blanket… I added to its original square a round of dc …to add more white…

baby-blanket-wip4

I am loving how it is turning out and I’ve already done all the circles (the first two rounds of them πŸ˜‰ )

The second wip is a cowl for myself…a very big cowl that I can fold two times around my neck….

yarn-for-cowl

cowl-wip1

I am working it using the moss stitch (1sc, 1ch, 1sc, 1ch) etc

I simply loooove that stitch πŸ™‚

cowl-wip2

I amΒ crocheting itΒ with the “MIRAGE” a 100% acrylic yarn but instead of the 3mm hook suggested on the yarn I am using a 5mm hook to have a light effect…

cowl-wip3

Finally lovely ladies a pic of my bundle of joy who’s enjoying his new toy…

and who became now a big baby sleeping in the bigger bed which was for his sisters πŸ™‚

Bad days :(

We’ve been through some very bad days here at home πŸ™ We are all sick now fighting an awful virus πŸ™ It all started with christina on Saturday morning…then baby Joe…then Sarah…then it was my turn and today it is my hubby’s turn πŸ™ You can not imagine how hard it is to take care of three sick little children when you are very sick too…a high fever that nothing brings down… I’ve never been through something so awful in my life…Today, Christina and Joe are a little better…SO there is hope for all of us to get through this…

I’ll have to postpone the giveaway for one more week… I am so happy to have more than 300 comments right now…IT was a real pleasure reading them during these bad days…SO, my lovelies, I’ll pick up two names on Friday March the first…SO, if you did not yet, you still have more than one week to leave a comment on this post and have a chance to win one of the two gifts…

And I have so many posts to catch up with you…
The little cute thing I was making on this post
My granny shawl which is done and looking gorgeous…
A new wip I’ll have to show you too…I must πŸ™‚

Hoping that we’ll get through these bad days…

And wishing you all healthy days because health is the most important thing…
Kisses!
