Something for myself...

Hello My friends!!!!
How are you doing?
Holidays season is now only a memory...and "normal" life is back again...
I've had few days off to work last week and so I decided to make finally something for myself...

With all the handmade Xmas gifts for family and friends, orders from my shop, swaps...I haven't had the chance to make something for me in a very long time...
So, I made this cute Granny Basket Tote.

I love the way it turned out, so bright and colorful and perfect for keep my crochet yarns...
Love it!!!!!

Then, I made myself a so cute and useful polar fleece poncho...
I had in mind to make it for so long time and now finally it's done!
I follow a very easy but great tutorial, you can find it HERE.
I embroidered two cute birds and changed a bit the pattern adding a binding all around.
It's so soft and warm and...when this morning I got up and I discovered that the boiler was not playing and there were more or less than 16 degrees in the house ... I was happy to use it for the first time ...LOL!!!
It's so soft and smooth and it's like to have someone who holds you in a warm hug... :O)

Last but not least...I bought myself a gift...A cute crochet book and it was delivered in my mailbox this morning...YAY!!!!!
I've already found some nice project that inspires me...

It's nice to occasionally spend a little of our time to ourselves and gratify with something that makes us happy ...
What makes you happy?
Love, Dany

Happily Crocheting

Hello My Friends!!!
How are you today?
Holidays season is almost endend and I'm enjoying my latest days off to work...
So...I'm going ahead with my Granny Basket Tote project...
I love the way the panels are turning out and I'm thinking that they should be perfect for a blanket too!!!!
Surely the granny basket is a smaller project and so easier to make and finish but I have a blanket in my future of crochet for sure!!!! LOL!!!!

So, what project are you doing right now?
I'd love to hear from you!!!
Happy Saturday!!!!
Love, Dany

An Easter Basket is growing in my hands

 Happy Sunday to you all my friends!!!
How is your day going?
Mine was...full of cleanings...as usual and in about half an hour...we will have  my parents for dinner here...
Tonight...PIZZA!!!!!
We love to make it and...of course...to eat it!!!!

Ok...Pizza is in my toughts right now but...I would like to show you my latest creation: a crochet Easter basket, my very first one but surely...not the last one for sure!!! LOL!!!

I loved the way it growed up in my hands...starting from a small center, then it became bigger...and bigger...then the basket started to take his form...

It's amazing how starting with a ball of  yarn and a crochet hook...

you can create something totally new...

I made for my basket a nice white border and then filled it with chocolate eggs...this will be a special gift for a special friend that will come to visit us for Easter...
Hopefully...she's not reading this post...LOL!!!
I've had so much fun making it, hope she'll like it!!!
Hugs, Dany
