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!!!!

A Card for my Dad

Hi!!
Tomorrow the whole family is going to celebrate my Dad's Birthday!
We will go to the restaurant but...for him...it's a surprise...

He doesn't have any clues.
Tomorrow morning my Mom will tell him that my hubby and me are going to bring them to my sister's house for have a lunch all together!
So...when they will be in our car, we will drive them to the restaurant!

We ordered for him a wonderful cake and bought him some nice stuffs:a new cell phone, a sweather and a t-shirt and I made him this cute Birthday Card, hoping that he likes it!

It's turning the BIG 70th so...it's a very important Birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DAD!!!!!
I LOVE YOU DADDY!!!!!

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!!!
