Crochet Projects

Hello!
Patchwork is not my unique passion...I also love crochet!
I find it so relaxing and and I can do it everywhere...
Actually I'm working on two different projects...just because one is not enough LOL!!!!

The first one is a "long" project...I'm making a granny square blanket...
A friend of mine gave me 3 big balls of beautiful grey yarn and so I decided to make a blanket...

I love colors so I added some colors to my grey blanket...
I'm using a light green, pink and light blue yarn too...

I'm liking the way it's turning out and I like the fact that I can do it every day...watching tv or listening my favourite music... Granny Square is a really easy crochet pattern and this is great for relax...

For my second faster project I chose colorful cottons...

I found a nice pattern on internet ...it was for a sit cover but I decided to make it as a big and colorful doily for my kitchen table...

For spring season I strongly need colors LOL!!!!!

I've just started this second project today so...I'm sharing with you my progress...

I think it will be bright and happy...

This is how it's turning out...I can't wait to have it done and put it on my table...

What do you think?

Are you working on some crochet projects too?

I'd love to hear from you all too!!!!

Happy Week End to you all!!!!

One to keep and...one to give

Hello my Friends!!!
How are you?
Are you ready for the week end?
finally my working week is ended and Friday night is my favourite time of the week at all...still so far from Monday and...still the whole week end to live!!!!

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 made this cute and so useful fabric clutch for my friend Nico's Birthday!

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"...
What do you think?
Hope she'll like it!

So...what are you doing?
Are you sewing or crafting something special?
I'd love to hear from you all!!!

And...for now...I wish you all a WONDERFUL WEEK END my Friends!!!!
Love, Dany

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.

New Crochet Items in my shop

 Hi!
Lately...I'm so much into crocheting things...so I decided to add some new crochet things in my Etsy Shop!
I started with something small, some crochet star coasters!

I think they are the perfect nice touch to any summer table, cute, colorful, they bring joy and happyness!

 I made them with 100% cotton yarn, so they are completely washable.

 For now, I made 2 sets, one lime and white and one light periwinkle and white and I'm so happy about the result.

I'm planning to make more in other colors combination so, if you have a favourite color combination, please, let me know!

I'm working also on some nice scarves and cowls for the winter season, fingerless gloves...I'm in  love with crocheting and Ii would love to share this love with you all!

If you are interested in my coasters, you can find them HERE!

Have a wonderful Friday my friends!!!!

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

White and Quite...

Hi and Happy Sunday to all!!!
We got snow last night and this morning, when we got up...all was so white and...soooo quite...
No noise at all around the house and was so nice!

It snowed all the day and trees, yards, roads, cars seemed to be covered by soft and white cotton! Today all was magic, I know that tomorrow probably will rain so, the snow will melt fast but today....today it's perfect!
I'm sure that tomorrow I will not like the snow like today because I'll have to drive and go to work and the roads will be not so good and probably dirty so...I'll have those pics for remember myself how I feel today! :O)
