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 prayersย and your love… I wish I could hug you all ๐Ÿ™‚

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 ๐Ÿ™‚ 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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ ) 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 ๐Ÿ™‚

Do you love the colors?

crazy-ripple-zoom-in

Iย adore them ๐Ÿ™‚ 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 ๐Ÿ™‚

Hug and love

Paintings

Hello lovelies!

The girls are at home for the summer holidays so I managed last week some me-time in my craft room to finish some paintings for my sister’s home before the-children-time which will last for 3 hole months …. wooohooooo ๐Ÿ™‚

1-houses

I started this painting before even getting pregnant with baby Joe and stopped it…now it is done and I kind of like it even though it is too colorful…

Enjoying my me-time :)

Helloooooo there! How are you?

I’ve been playing with my hook and some cotton yarn in order to make something for my sitting room table… a patchwork table runner…not too big… something simple… a very graphic square I draw and which I am very pleased with right now…

Wanna see?

graphic-square-4

graphic-square-3

It is very simple andย graphic and I kind of like that ๐Ÿ˜‰ It remind me of my graphic design years in college ๐Ÿ™‚

graphic-square-2

graphic-square-1

I am doing a lot of these squares right now and I’m gonna join them as-I-go…It will be very colorful but with a simple design… I’ll prepare a graphic pattern for it also…if you’re interested in making one too… this square can be used to make coasters, cushions and even summer blankets …why not ๐Ÿ˜‰

On the other side, I’m spending a lot of my me-time in my craft room with my brushes and painting ๐Ÿ™‚ Oh how I love that!!!!

back-to-painting1

I’ve spoiled myself with a set of new brushes and I am right now finishing a very old big painting I started before getting pregnant with baby Joe…yes, before ๐Ÿ™‚ and that was long ago ๐Ÿ˜‰

Here is a little peek …

houses---small-peek

It is too colorful …but I kind of like that ๐Ÿ˜‰

I hope that you are making things that makes you happy today…

I am sending you kisses, hugs, sunshine and happy thoughts

Have a good day!

Paintings and more

Good morning,

A BIG BIG thank you from my mum to all of you for your wonderful comments concerning her projects ๐Ÿ™‚

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

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

I hope you liked them ๐Ÿ™‚

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 ๐Ÿ™

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

Kisses to all!
