December

There is something I don’t love about December… It is the stress behind this season… The stress sometimes takes out all the beautiful mood you should be feeling in this holy season… I am a “routine” kind of person… I love my every-day and try to just live the moment… Every year I tell myself I should begin early with the Christmas preparations so I don’t stress and stress all my family…

So, this year, I began early …

The house is already on Christmas mode…

The tree is up…

The gifts are (almost) ready and packed…

There is good chocolate in every corner…

Every single detail is pretty organised in my beloved yellow filofax…

I am even finding some time to crochet…

and add some squares to the granny blanket which is slowly but surely growing 🙂 (Will it become a bedspread?)

I have even picked up an old wip and I’m falling in love with it all over again…

So, my friend, this year, I am trying to relax and just enjoy this holy season without stress…

And I wish you the same 🙂

Relax, take it easy and have a beautiful warm week filled with joy, laugher and Christmas spirit.

"done", Corners of my home, fabric cushions, Ripple, sewing

Love the music of my singer …

Hello lovelies!

Last week I’ve got so much fun in my craft room… It was a sewing kind of week and I enjoyed it 🙂

I spent most of my free time (a couple of hours per day) there…

sorting colorful fabrics… adding little buttons…sketching and sewing … Oh it made me so happy 🙂

And the result? Well you have to see it yourself…

3 cute little houses cushions 🙂 I love love love them…

They are for my children’s rooms…

On Christina’s bed…

On Sarah’s…

And on Joe’s…

Here they are all 3 on my actual wip 🙂 Aren’t they gorgeous?

Sewing makes me happy 🙂

Sending you all my love through this post!

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 prayers and your love… I wish I could hug you all 🙂

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…

This is my village 🙂 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 😉 ) but I thought about showing it to you like a wip…

And …

This is the crazy ripple so far….

32 rows …that means 16 hours of crochet…wowwww 🙂

Do you love the colors?

I adore them 🙂 I love how they melt together…

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 🙂

Hug and love

Ripple, simple thoughts, wips

Crochet in the sun

My country is slowly drowning in the blood and all I can do is crochet in the sun to take the negative thoughts and the stress away…
I feel like a small ant in a big black world unable to protect my beloved ones…
All I can do is pray… Pray for better days… Pray for my little country… Pray for peace and love…
Please join me in my prayers….
Thank you from the bottom of my heart…
And sorry for this “unhappy” post…

The beginning of a crazy project

Good morning!

How are you? How was your weekend? Still in holiday mode Like myself? We are having now some really hot days but this did not stop me from beginning a very big crazy project – blanket which will become a bedspread 🙂

A crazy ripple blanket which (I hope so) will become a bedspread for one of the girl’s bed…

If you are a follower of my facebook page you already saw this pic above 🙂

I started this project with a thinner yarn than my usual Nako one. It is Mirage a 100% acrylic yarn which I crochet with a 3.5mm hook…

I really want to get rid of my old stash of this yarn so I can buy some new colours in october…

So I began this ripple…a very big one…each row with a different colour…

The pattern is here if you wish to make one too 😉

Each row is taking me half an hour to finish and I am a really fast crocheter 😉

So 30 minutes for only a row 🙂 That’s why I’m calling it crazy ripple because it will make me crazy at the end I know…but I can’t help myself and I am totally addicted right now 😀

I am loving so much the colors…

and I know that when it will become bigger it will be winter and cold days here and it will be the perfect project to crochet on cold evenings 🙂 (Can’t wait!)

So, my lovelies, that was the beginning of the crazy ripple project I started on August8…

Now I’ve added some more rows… and I can exactly tell how many hours I crocheted already 🙂 hahaha

Of course, I will have to crochet another bedspread for the second bed of my girl’s bedroom…another one with the same colors…

I will think about that second one later 🙂 One crazy project at a time 🙂

I’m wishing you now a crazy happy week!

Stay cool and happy!

Kisses
