Hello hello hello!

What shall I show you first today? This post is special as I have to show you two finished projects and they are both lovely 🙂

Ok. First.The pink stool.

I’ve had this wood stool from ages ago but it was in an ugly brown…I painted it pink and decided to make for it a nice crocheted cover…that was in may 2012 if my memory is good … I started it with the Ricco creative cotton… and never blogged about it…

Last week I decided to finish it 😉

Because I was into “stools” and was making the red one for a special order, the pink one had to be done too…

So, here it is: Enjoyyyyyyyyy………………….

Yarn: Rico creative cotton

Hook: 4mm

For the edging I sew this cute pompom trim to the back of the crochet 🙂

I love pompoms 😀

This last pic show the pink color of the wood as it is “live”

And for the second project…

I am sure you already guessed…

It is one more cute cat for my hubby… He chose the colors 😉

and I love it! These cats are really addictive 🙂

That’s all my friends 🙂

Next time I’ll tell you about the crazy project I am in now … It is taking all my time, I’m thinking about it all day long and it is making me crazy 🙂

Sending you happy kisses and lot lot of love through this post!

P.S: If you fancy making a cat you can order the book from the right sidebar of the blog between the lovely books. The book has very simple and clear instructions to make a cute cat on your own! Enjoy it!

A red stool: Before and after

Good morning!

I finished the cover for the pink stool but I tried it on a red stool I had at home and it was better. Much better…

Wanna see? Ok

Here is the red stool before:

And here it is after….Tadaaaaaaaaaaaa…

Very happy with the result I must confess…

Here are for you some pics to enjoy 😉

A view from above…pretty colorful granny squares joined together as-I-go …

I’ve added a trim of green pompom and I love love love it 🙂

This stool is a special order for a very kind lady… Even though I wished it was mine I am very happy that she loved it 😀 and that it will be cherished in its new home 🙂

Here is “Mustard” saying goodbye to his friend…

He was with me during all the steps of the stool’s making 😉

For this stool I used this yarn worked with a 2.5mm crochet hook.

Now I am finishing a second cover with the rico creative cotton. (I began this cover 14 months ago but did not blogged about it) This second cover will be for the pink stool. More about this in a next post 😉

Have to go now…

I hope that you loved the stool…

It is already gone to its new home and I kind of missed it here…

Have a lovely day!

Friday…already???

Hello sweeties,

It is friday already and we are in August. Time really flies and sometimes I just don’t realize how time is passing by so quickly…

I am crocheting a lot these days and that makes me really happy and takes all the stress away 🙂

I told you in a previous post about that special order of a pink wood stool…

… I’ve began the crochet-granny-squares-cover of it…

and I am very pleased with how it is turning out 😉

And guess what? I finished my very own amineko. Yes, this guy, this mustard guy is totally mine…

(This mustard color is my favorite of the moment. I used to hate, yes hate this color in the past…now I love it 🙂 )

I love his wide eyes open. He seems very curious about everything just like myself 😀 😀

I crocheted it with a thinner yarn than the previous ones. So this one is smaller …

and guess what? Hubby wants one 😀 😀 hahahaha and he already chose the colors 🙂

But he’ll have to wait because I have to finish the stool cover first 😉

Life is good my friend… Enjoy it… Enjoy every second of it…

Wishing you a wonderful weekend with your loved ones

Thank you for visiting!

A double tadaaaaa :)

Hello lovelies!

How was your weekend?

Today is a special post cause it is a double tadaaa one 🙂 Yes two finished projects to show you 🙂

Number oooooooone….

My granny shawl … finally finished and looking gorgeous 🙂

I love it! Too bad it is already very hot now here and I’ll have to wait for september to wear it 🙁

Crocheted with my beloved 100% acrylic yarn nako vizon …

Following this very easy pattern … It was a real pleasure to make and I am deeply in love 🙂

As for number twooooooooo…It is a before-after kind of project…

A very ugly black wooden stool I totally forgot about it in my attic… and I saw it and thought: what if I make for it a crocheted cover and use it to hold one of my green plants 😉

soooooo there it is:

Granny square cover of course…what else ? 😉 made with leftover yarn ….

I love the contrast between the black and the other colours 🙂 mmmmh

and here it stands now…

What do you think?

Did you like my two “projects’?

Now, I have a long project for the summer…It is burning in my head and I started it last night…mmmmmh…I am totally totally totally excited about it… I love it too too much…and I can’t wait to show it to you…

So, stay tuned my friend…

Sending you love, kisses and sunshine 🙂
