Colorful Crochet

Hello!
How are you all?
March is already here but...the weather probably didn't notice that LOL!!!
Here we are having icing, snow, rain...
More close to Winter then Spring actually but...you know...everything could change in few hours...
So, for puttin myself in a happy mood, I decided to show you some colorful Mandalas I made last year...

When I was a child, both my Grandmas were so good in handcrafts...
I was lucky enough to have one living near me (in the north of Italy) and one living so far, in the south of Italy.
I said I was lucky because they both were great women and totally different.
Anyway, Grandma living near me was so good in knitting, she made me tons of beautiful sweathers...
The other one was great in crocheting, she made beautiful shawls, blankets, sleeping socks ...
But...as often happen, I was not interested at all in learning knitting or crocheting...
Now...I regret every day that I've never asked them to teach me but...you know...it's too late...
They both passed away several years ago and so...I "asked" to the web to teach me...
It's not the same thing of course but I've learned how to crochet watching videos.

I have to say that I was not interested in crocheting in the past because here around crocheting was just doilies...I never liked so much white doilies...well...not at all in effect...
But...browsing  through the web I found lots of beautiful and colorful crochet things so I started to like crochet...
In the past I made myself some beautiful shawls and scarves, coasters and I've also made some Amigurumi (they are totally addicting LOL).
Then...I discovered Mandalas and...I fell totally in love with them...
They are a sort of modern doilies but totally different!
Fun and colorful, exactly the kind of things I love to make!
So...there are few I made...

I spent some fun hours making them

And they make me happy each time I look at them

So...what about you?
Do you know Mandalas?
Did you ever make them?
Please, let me know if you like crocheting too and what do you like making more.
Have a great week!!!

Paper Jewerly

Hello my Friends!!!!
How are you going?
Hope everything is ok for you all!!!
Here...all it's fine...
I'm trying to keep myself busy with Gym, cinema club once a week, friends and... some new crafts...

Yesterday evening I went to a class for make paper jewerly and...this is the result...
I made this pretty necklace...

I totally loved the class...about 45 women working together and chatting, chatting, chatting, eating, chatting...LOL!!!
It was really so fun and love the way my necklace turned out!

Could you believe it was made out of paper?
The possibilities are endless, you can make necklaces, earrings, bracelet, in different colors, with different kinds of beads, shapes...

So...did you do something new and different lately?
Please, share!
Love, 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 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!!!!

Shame on me!!!!!

Hello my Friends!!!!!
How are you?
You may are wondering why I chose this title for my post...
Well...it's more than 2 MONTHS that I didn't write anything here and so...absolutely...SHAME ON ME!!!!

I've had a not nice time...familiar things...health things...mood things...LOL!!!
But...this is not an excuse...I know...

Sometimes...you need a break from everyone and from  anything and so...I stopped to blog, I stopped to sew, I stopped to crochet...it seems that my life...stopped at all and...believe me...it was not nice at all...

Some days I felt like I'm not able to do anything...just my work (I can't stop it too...LOL), house works and...sleep...

But now...it seems that...I'm getting up from a long long sleep and...step by step...I'm coming again into my life...

So, during latest weeks...I started again to crochet and sewing and...I'm ready now for blogging again and...for show you some new things I made!!!

Hope things are well for you all my friends, I missed you and I missed to read your blogs so...I'm going to do it immediately!!!!!

Now I'm back so...please, from time to time...come here to take a peek... :O)

I wish you all a lovely day and...talk to you soon!!!!!!
Love, Dany
