Snow+pancakes+patchwork

  
Hello!
I got up this morning under...the snow!!!
All is white and quite all around...

The perfect day for enjoy a warm house...LOL!!!
I decided to make myself a special breakfast in this special Sunday...

Pancakes with maple syrup...sooooo delicious!!!!

I ate them with a cup of coffee...!!!!
Then...I decided to start a new sewing project...

As I told you in an other post...I need a table topper...

So I started working on it...

What are you doing today?
I wish you all a wonderful Sunday!
Hugs, Dany.

Crochet blanket

 Hi there!!!!
How are you today?
We got snow past night, lot of snow...so now all around is white and cold...

The perfect weather for crafting...
I'm going ahead with my crochet blanket but...not sure I should...
I love the pattern, so easy and so nice but...I think it's a bit too "chunky"

And I think it requires so much yarn and I only have 3 big balls...
So, I'm not sure I'll like it...

I think I could make a striped granny square blanket using less yarn...
What do you think?
Any suggestion?

Here there are some pics of the snow outside...BRRRR...

What are you doing today?
I wish you all a great Sunday!!!!
Love, Dany.

Happily Crocheting

Hello my friends!!!!
How are you?
Hope everything is ok for you all... :O)

Winter is still here...cold temperatures and snow all around...
So this is the perfect time for...stay inside and do our favourite crafting...
During these cold days, I love to stay inside, near the fireplace, with a cup of hot tea (sometimes...hot chocolate...LOL) and...crochet!
I found it so relaxing...
So, I would love to show you some projects I did lately...

Here there are some doilies...

I have to say that I've never be a big fan of crochet doilies...my grandma made them but...always lace doilies with really tin white cotton...not my style at all...LOL...

But making them with colorful cotton and  4mm hook...well...I think they look nice!!!

So, THIS IS  the free pattern I used...

Then, I made this one with chunky yarn...
It remembers me a snowflake and I think it's so snowy...
I love it for winter time...
I used THIS FREE PATTERN...

For the 1st time...I made crochet buntings...
They are so much fun to make and looks great in every room of your house!!!

And...last...this is my work in progress project...a ripple rug...

I loooove ripples but...never made them before...tought they were so hard to make...

But...I found THIS TUTORIAL from Lucy Attic24, it's so easy to follow...

And I'm enjoying make my rug...

Hope you like my projects and that my links for free patterns and tutorials can inspire you... :O)

Happy crocheting and...Happy Crafting!!!!

Have a lovely week end.

XOXO, Dany

We got the very first snow of the season...
It's strange as we are already on the 29th of January but...this is exactly what I saw this morning when I got up...

Everything is white and silented...

Snow all around...

And does not seem to have any intention to quit...

We have about 35 cm till now...
And...it's still snowing...
We are having our...Christmas in January...LOL!!!

My Old Sleigh

My Dad found it some times ago in the attic...
It was a Christmas gift I've got from Santa many many years ago...
I can''t remember well but I think I was at least 9 or 10 years old...

I've really had some amazing and fun winter with it till the day...my sister (younger sister, she was really so tiny that time) and me finished on a iced lake...
We were sledding down the hill but at one point...the hill ended and...started the lake...
Near the coast the lake was well but in the center ice was melting...
I heard Mommy and Daddy yelling to push me to the ground and so I did before  reaching the center of the melting.
But, we really ended up too much close to the icy waters of the lake...
The shock was great so my cute sledge ended its years hidden in the attic...
Since...few times ago...

My Dad was doing a cleaning in the attic and found it, sad, alone, old and covered by dust...
So he  decided to clean and fit it for me and...voilà!!!!
You can see it in all "its splendor"!!!!! :O)

I settled it into a corner in my attic, next to a quilt and close to my sewing room.
So I can see it every day...
I've placed on top some of my favourites country magazines and it has become a perfect tiny table.

How many memories...THANK YOU DADDY!!!!!
Love, Dany

It's snowing again and again and again...

Hi!
this morning I got up and...it's snowing again...
Yesterday we got snow too and we will have more snow next week too...
This year...I'm totally sick about cold, bad weather and snow...
I need sun, flowers, colors all around...I need spring time!!!

Perhaps...this collage of beautiful pics will help me to "tolerate" a bit more the snow... :O)
I wish you all a nice day!!!

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)
