Cooking...

 
Hello My Friends!!!
Is everything ok there?
The week end started and this...is a good thing...LOL!!!

About cooking...I have to admit that...I've never be a fan of cookin...ok...I must cook because I must eat but...that's all...
Lately...I discover a bit of joy in cooking things and so...there are some of the things I cooked ...

Little stars of bread with herbs cheese, cherries tomatoes and olives...
Lasagne...

Fresh salad with celery, apples, cheese, pepper and walnuts...





Omelette with ham and tuna sauce rolled and sliced...
And...last but not least...a wonderful strudel with apples, walnuts, pine cones, cinnamon, sugar and amaretti cookies...yummy...
What is your favourite dish to cook?
I wish you all a wonderful week end!!!
Hugs, Dany.

Patchwork Placemat


 Hello My Friends!!!!
How are you today?
I'm feeling better after the flu finally!!! YAY!!!
I'm still a bit tired and I still have a bit of cold but...definitely...I feel better!

I'd like to show you my new colorful placemat...
 I know...it's not an awesome or incredible project...I did much better in the past but...this is the 1st one of my new life...


I found so hard to find the "love of sewing" again...I think I'm a bit depressed and this is not nice...
So...I really loved to sew this easy and small project for get instant gratification ! LOL!!!
It has a patchwork centre realized with scraps of fabrics...
Then I sewed laces on 2 of the edges and added borders all around...


Quilted it  all and...hand sewed the binding ( this is my favourite part...I found hand sewing the binding sooooo relaxing!!!!)
And...TADAAAAA...it's done!!!


It looks great on my new table and make me happy!!!
Now...my next project will be a table topper...
I bought this new white square table, I love it so much!
But...I'd like to have a fun and happy table topper on it...maybe something that change every season...

Ok...that's all for today...
What are you working on?
I'd love to hear from you!
In the meantime...I wish a lovely day to you all!!!!
Hugs, Dany.

Got the flu

Hello My Friends!
How are you today?
I feel like these flowers that are hardly trying to keep the "head" trought the snow...
Yes...I've been sick for all past week...
I started to feel bad Monday morning and immediately the fever jumped up...
Then, pain everywhere, headache, sore troat, cold...wow...what a list!

I really fell so bad especially because for 5 day I wans't able to put the fever down...
This was my very first time being sick and...alone...
And believe me, it was not nice...
My parents were sick too so they didn't come to visit, anyway, also of they were not sick, I would not like that they come here...the flu is so contagious...

I am a strong girl or at least this is what I like to think about myself but, in the meantime, I don't like to be alone...never...also when I feel good, I'd love to chat, laugh, share my toughts with someone.
This is why I'm feeling so hard to live alone.
And, you could easily imagine how bad I fell...sick and alone...
Anyway...today I came back to work and the "normal" life is starting again...

The sun is shining and this is a good reason for smile!
Plus, just the day before the flu, I sewed a placemat for me, I just need to hand sew the binding and it's done.
This is my very first sewing  project since I'm here in the new home and probably...a new start of projects!
Plus, I've finally found the pattern for my new crochet blanket, I'm making a grey giant granny square and I'm loving working on it!
Next post I'll share pics!

Ok, hope you all are feeling well my friend!
I wish you all a lovely week!!!!!
Hugs, Dany.
