Walking...

Hello my Friends!!!!
How are you?
Finally seems that Spring reaches us...at least...for few days...
We have had nice weather the last 3days and hopefully we  still have a bit of "bonus" for nice weather...
At least...since Sunday when...it will rain again... :O(

Anyway...now the sun is shining, temperatures are really warm and we enjoy outdoors!

So...I can't imagine a better way to start my morning then...1 hour and half of fit walking around our hills...
I'm at home 3 morning a week so I can enjoy walking during this free time...

I wear my shorts, tank top, walking shoes, take with me my iphone and...just start walking...listening my favourite music!!!!
The panorama is beautiful, birds, flowers and yards everywhere, so relaxing!
This really recharge my batteries after a long, cold and dark winter!!!!

Do you like walking? or running? or Jogging?
what kind of sport do you practice?
I wish you all a wonderful day!!!!
Hugs, Dany

Hearts

Hello My Friends!!!!!
How are you today?
It's a cloudy Sunday morning here, not too hot but...not cold...
As I told you, my sewing machine was back so I'm enjoying my sewing this week and this big size embroidered stuffed heart is my latest creation.

This heart will go to a friend that is having a bad period with her Grandchild gravely ill...
So I really hope this one will bring her a bit of confort...



But, during years, I've made lots of hearts...
Some for very happy occasions...


Birthdays, new Birth...



Housewarming gifts...




Some for Swaps...




Others for toughtful occasions...

For sale...





For decorate...



For Christmas...


Definitely I love making hearts and they are suitable for any occasion!
An Heart is always a good gift to give and a wonderful gift to get!!!
What do you think?
Do you love making and receiving hearts?
Did you make lots of them?

I wish you all a lovely Sunday from...the botton of my HEART!!!!
Love, Dany

Hello my Friends!!!
How are you?
Are you ready for the week end?

I finished my crochet placemat and I love the way it turned out...I love this neutral color...it's perfect for all season...

So...this one is to keep...I made it for myself...just for the love of making it!


Now...I'm looking for another fun crochet project to start!!!!!
I've finally got my sewing machine back...YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
It went away for just one week but...believe me...it seemed a year for me!!! LOL!!!!
So...I made a gift to give...

I used 2 fat quartes of coordinating batiks and this is the result.


This is really so useful and I'm going to make one for myself too now that I've developed the pattern!

It's perfect for hold all these little "girls' secret things"...

Hooked on Wednesday!

Hello My Friends!!!!!
How are you today?
I feel good but...a bit sad...
Unfortunately yesterday I had to bring my sewing machine back to the shop because..."she" doens't work very well...


Stitches were perfect on the back but...not so neat on the right side and this is really strange because usually...if there are tension problems...happens exactly the oppsite...perfect stitches on the right side and...bad stitches on the back...
Plus...I also have problems with the embroideries...
So...I have to stay more than a week without sewing and I really hope that it will not be anything of too much serious or too much expensive... :O(


Anyway...I can't stay all this time...mmm...without make something so...I decided to do some crochet project!
I found THIS pretty pattern on Raverly for a crochet placemat and...I hooked it!!!!


I took my soooo big ball of natural crochet cotton yarn and a very old hook (it was one of my Grandma's hooks and so will make my placemat more precious!)






I just love how my project grows in my hands row after row...



And I can't wait to make another row for admire the result...


Now it's starting to take form...


And I'm loving it...
I still have few rows to make but I think I'll finish it tonight or at least...tomorrow night...

So...what are you doing?
Which project are you working on?
I'd love to hear from you!!!
Have a nice time with your crafting my Friends!!!!
Hugs, Dany.

A break day


Hello my Friends!!!
How is your week end going?
Mine is going great!!!
Yesterday finally...we had a day off and we went to the sea!!! YAY!!!!
I really needed a day far from here, a sunny weather, relax and fun and...nothing else...

Mom and Dad came with us so we celebrated Mother's day there...
It was sunny and warm but...not too much hot...perfect!!!


I also did a bit of shopping...a pair of earrings, a cute bag...but mostly I loved the weather...
Probably because here we are having always bad weather...
Right now is raining and...it's so cold again...terrible...

It's amazing how flowers and trees are "Spring-y" there...

Ohhhhh...we had a wonderful lunch...

Fishes, fishes and fishes...
I have to say that...I don't like particularly fishes...I'm more than a pasta and pizza girl...LOL!!!
But...these grilled fishes were...GORGEOUS!!!!


Sometimes...few hours far from home could be really...lovely!!!! :O)
Today...as I said before...it's cold and rainy so...perfect for stay inside in my sewing room and...create something new...
This surely is my favourite kind of week end...
What's yours?
And...last but not least...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO MY MOM AND...ALL THE MOM AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!
Love, Dany.
