And life goes on…

4 days already. 4 days that my Instagram account got hacked. 5000 pictures stolen in minutes. Moments, beautiful moments of life turned “private” and soon may be deleted. My heart is crying. I can’t find sleep. I am angry because I feel the injustice. Why? Why evil exists… And still no answer from Instagram…

Confetti love

But life must go on…. When you can’t change things, you try to continue with what you have. I have my family, my online friends (even though I lost them for now and I must search for them one by one and contact them. It is not easy to contact 105000 persons, 105000 friends that were a part of my life so far and that I lost in minutes), my crochet, my sewing machine, my colors, my home. And I feel blessed. And thankful. Despite everything.

Little friends

I am working now on finishing my Confetti blanket. I was going to launch it as a CREATE box this week along with a free video of the pattern. The video is ready. I will wait a little before launching it. I still have a couple of rows to do and the edging. And the blanket will be ready. It is beautiful. And I love every stitch of it.

I did also some watercolor this weekend. Strange how watercoloring calms me. I was so nervous and stressed I couldn’t hold my hook or sew. But I could do some painting and it calmed me down. I love painting flowers. Colorful flowers.

And I have 9 new project bags almost ready. They are beautiful. All of them. I can’t wait to show them to you!

That’s all for today! Enjoy your week!

A birthday and a cushion…

Hello!

How are you today?

Aren’t these tulips gorgeous? I received them on my birthday on saturday 🙂 and the tulips are my favourite flowers 🙂

On saturday I turned out 33 and it is strange how I felt… I did not feel too old or something, I just felt happy and thankful for being alive surrounded by my family and the people I love the most…

On Saturday morning I felt like calling my parents to tell them thank you…thank you for bringing me to life…thank you after 33 years 😀 hehe

I’m feeling too emotional these days, every little thing brings tears to my eyes…even the most idiot song …Stange no???

Enough emotional talking…let’s come back to reality and talk crochet…shall we? 🙂

I bought not so long time ago some paintings for my living…

and decided to make a cushion to go with them… a cushion crocheted using this pattern

and this was the result…

Tell me ? what do you think? Do you love?

and now I am making another crochet cover with the same colors as the cushion for this round small table you see on the right bottom of the pic above… 😉 Will show it to you very soon …

That’s all my friend!

I’m sending you some sunshine and bird singing through this post and wish you a wonderful happy monday!

Love at first sight…

Hello ladies,

Hope you’re having a wonderful monday morning with a nice cup of coffee!

One week ago I saw this beautiful pic somewhere on the net… a beautiful pic without a link or a source…and I fall….madly deeply in love with it….I saved it on my laptop …Here it is…

Does any of you know the source of this pic?

So, my friend, I fall madly and deeply and crazy in love with the blanket of course…I could not take out my eyes of this beauty…all these colors and this black border…can you resist?

and of course, as you already guessed…I started…I started trying to crochet something similar to this wonderful piece…Mmmmh…it was a pleasure trying to figure out the pattern by just looking at this pic….and I made it after many many trials 🙂

yes yes yes…

I am very happy 🙂

and so in love….

I stopped all my wip and I am not crocheting anything else since …

That’s what we call: Love at first sight…Yes it is crochet-love-at-first-sight…wondering if you can understand this kind of feeling for a project ? when you can not at all concentrate on something else…and you leave all behind for this particular new wip…

I even already draw the graphic pattern for you… my own version on Corel draw with a sucrette’s technique to work fast and use all the colors equitably (Thank you google translate :)) (I’ll post it next time 😉 )

But I need a name for this blanket and I need your suggestions… Do you have any idea what should I name it? Is “love at first sight” a good one? waiting for your advice…

Finally, a close up of the flowers on my table…and some pics of my paintings and my studio before I go…

Talking about my paintings: It is not something “huge” I am very proud of…but it is something I take pleasure making … and that’s what counts finally, no?

I’ll leave you now with a last pic of these adorable small watering cans on my shelves…

Thank you for your visit,

Have a beautiful monday!
