Hello my Friends!!!!!!!
How are you today?
Here it's a cloudy and cold Sunday...in effect we are expecting snow...
I really hope that...it will not snow here...ok...it can snow in the mountain but...not here...LOL!!!

I love snow but...I would like to be able to take my car out of the garage and...if it snow...I can't do it...

Anyway...I need to work on new projects at this time for keep my mind busy and also for relax myself...

I saved tons and tons of wonderful projects on Pinterest but...I feel soooo much lazy and demotivated lately and...I didn't start anything new...

Now...I've got 3 big big balls of a wonderful grey yarn and...I decided to make myself a blanket...
I found crocheting so much relaxing and so...I'm going ahead with this idea.
I'm browsing the web for searching a pattern that I like and...I found  tons of them.
But one particularly catch my attention: it's called brain dead and...the name...says soooo much about it...LOL!!!!
You have to make a chain, then the first row in a way and...from the second to the last row...you always work the same way...LOL!!!!!
Can you find something easier than this????
And...it also looks  very pretty!
So now...I'm going to start it and then I'll let you know how it is going...

What are you doing today?
Anything exciting? Any new project?
I'd love to hear from you!!!
In the meantime, I wish you all a lovely Sunday!!!!!
Hugs, Dany.

Scarf Addicted

Hello and happy Monday to all!
What about your week end?
Did you have a nice one?
I did, a relaxing and crafty week end...my favourite one...LOL!!!
Ok...I discovered that I'm scarf addicted lately, I love any kind of scarf especially if I can make it...LOL!!!
So, I'm crocheting scarves but...I also like make something with fabrics...I'm a quilter... :O)

I made myself this beautiful and so warm infinity scarf!
It's made of fleece and cotton fabric.
You can wear it around your neck and it's a super soft and warm neck warmer...

Due to it's generous size, you can wear it like a wrap...
And...ok...I can't show you in the picture because my "mannequin" is headless...LOL... but...you can also wear it around your neck and over your head...

I absolutely love the way it turned out and surely I'll make more!
I think they could be a great Xmas present!!!!


What about you? what did you do this past week end?
Happy Week!!!!

A bag for a wedding

 Hello my friends!!!
yesterday morning I was in a creative mood and so I decided to make myself a new bag...
I need a new bag/purse for a wedding that  will be the 30th of July...
Usually, I don't like very much the kind of bag/purse you wear to wedding parties because they are small...and I love big purses as I always have so much things to carry with me...LOL!!!!
So...having this in mind...I absolutely would not like to waste my money for a purse that I probably only use one day for few hours...

So, I decided to make myself a cute wedding purse...
I'll wear a beautiful pearl grey oriental style silk dress with red flowers and grey sandals so I need something in these colors...

I looked into my stash and I found some cute fabrics that could work, then I've also found some silk scraps and laces...The colors' combination looked so perfect to me...

 

I took one of my Tilda's book and I found a pattern that perfectly suits my taste...

And...in a couple of hours...I made it!!!!

I'm so happy with the result and I think my cute new purse goes perfectly with my dress...

So...what do you think?

My Lacey Shawl Finally Done and...a new bag!

 

Hi and Happy Sunday to all!!!
Finally...I can show you my shawl!!!
It has been finished about 3 weeks ago but...here the weather is always so rainy so...it was so hard "combine" a sunny day plus hubby at home to make pics...LOL!!!
Anyway...yesterday afternoon...we got a bit of sun...so...this is me wearing my new shawl!!!

I have to say that I'm soooo happy about  the result, this is my very first lacey shawl, it required lots and lots of FUN hours to crochet it but...I'm happy I spent my time in this way!

It's so versatile so you can wear it on a tank top and jeans but also on a elegant dress for a special occasion!

In effect, I'll have a wedding on the end of July and this would be so perfect on the grey and black dress I bought...

And this is the new bag I made for myself too...

I made one similar past summer and I used it all the time.

I love this shape, the bamboo handles, it's so roomy and the fabric I chose is so nice.

It's similar to linen, with stamps in purple and lime green, so summery!!!

Hope you like my creations!

Have a nice day!!!

A work in progress: my shawl

Hi! in a OLDER post  I told you about a new challenge for myself...make a lace shawl. Well...those are my progresses. This pattern is really so beautiful and so easy to follow and I'm having so much fun making my shawl. I still have to make some rounds (8 more) and then add the fringes and...it will be done. I really can't wait to wear it!!! I only have a doubt...I will have to block it and...I never did it before with something so big...do you have some tips or suggestions? Thanks so much and...have a wonderful Friday!!!!

A New Challenge

Hi!!!

It's Monday again and so...it's time for a new challenge for myself...LOL!!!

I'm a crochet addicted lately and so, as I'm a beginner, every new project is a challenge for me! But this one...wow...it's a big one!!!!

When I saw this amazing shawl...I immediately decided that...I have to make one for my self!

I found the free pattern HERE and in no time...I went to the yarn shop and bought a beautiful yarn that is a mix of cotton and viscose. The color is awesome, a very bright pearl grey...

I found that the pattern is easy to follow also for a beginner but requires lots of hours of work and surely you can't make it while you are watching television...or at least...I can't! But this is the thing I love the most...I have to stay thuned with the pattern, it requires all my concentration and attention and so...while I'm making it...I can't think to anything else...job, housework, cooking, laundry...

I found this soooo mind relaxing!!!!!

Ok...this is what I've already done...I think it's turning out cute and I can't wait to wear it!

But I think I still need ..."few" hours of work on it...LOL!!!!

I'll keep you posted about my progresses!!!

Have a nice Monday and a great start of week!!!!

Hugs!!!

What I made this week end...

Hello my friends!
The week end is almost finished but I have to say that I'm satisfied of all the things I accomplished... :O)
I cleaned the house, did the laudry (OMG...how many things...LOL), I baked bugie and...last but not least at all...I made this wonderful crochet wrap for myself!!!!

I totally love the way it turned out...it's my first crochet wrap (well...it's almost my first in anything in crochet...LOL) and I can say that I'm sooo happy with the result!

I used a beautiful variegated and very soft wool, it has shades of grey, green, lilac, and pale pink and it's so confortable!

If you would like to make it too, I found a free pattern here.

I can't wait to wear it tomorrow at work!!!!

Ok...now...I'm already thinking to my next project...

Talk to you soon!!!!

My new scarf!

Hi and Happy Sunday to all!!!
I've just finished to knit my new scarf and I love how it turns up!
I chose a grey wool, I just knit and purl so...a really easy one!

But...I would love to add a sweet touch so I made 2 hearts felt with some rhynestones and I sewed them on both endinds of the scarf...

I'll wear it this afternoon as it's a very sunny but very very cold day here...
Talk to you soon!!!!

Knitting a new scarf

Hi!
yesterday I've had a very stressful day at work...
When I come home...I really needed a bit of relax...
So...after dinner and a long shower...I looked throught my yarns and my colorful knitting needles and I found this beautiful grey wool.
It's 100% merino wool, so soft and warm...

I weared my pijama, take my place on the couch near the lightfire and...started to knit a scarf for myself...
What a nice way to take a bit of relax at the end of a "black" day!
And soon...I'll have a new scarf to wear!!!!
In what way you love to realx at the end of the day?
I'd love to hear from you!!!
Have a nice day to you all!!!!
