Laura Beth is here!

Hi and Happy Sunday to all!!!
Well...the mistery is solved...my work in progress was...LAURA BETH!
Laura Beth is a cute little girl dressing a ladybug costume and she is a wonderful Amigurumi Pattern by Owlishly.
I fell in love with her immediately and I NEEDED to try it!!!

As this actually is my second try at an amigurumi pattern...I'm happy with the result!

I think I have to let you know that...AMIGURUMI are soooo addicting...when you learn how to make them...you can't just stop to make them...LOL!!!!

I've already find a gazillion of other super cute patterns and...I can't wait to make them!!!

Now...it's Sunday but...I have to iron a mountain of clothes...sob...sob...

I think I'll skip some of them and...I'll start a new pattern!!!!

So...what are you doing today?

Happy Amigurumi...ehmmm...no...Happy Sunday to you all my friends!!!!

A work in progress...

Hi and Happy Friday to you all!!!
if you are following me a bit...you already know about my totally new passion for crochet...
Well...this is my work in progress of the week...

Would you like to try to guess what it will be at the end?

I can give you a little help...it's an amigurumi "critter"...

It's super cute and...it can flies...

No more clues now...

What is it?

Too much sweet

Hi and good Sunday to all!

Today here it's cloudy and grey and so I decided to find some bright and happy images that remind me Spring...

Hope you like my selection!

My Grandma sooooo old shawl...

Hi!

This is the shawl my Grandma made for my Mom more than 30 years ago...

It's soooo old or...soooo vintage if you'd prefere...LOL!!!

Now...my Mom is used to wear this shawl almost every day in winter when for example she needs to go outside maybe in the garden to pick something or to the garage or maybe when she reads or watches television on the couch...

I have to say that probably this shawl was not made with the most wonderful yarn of the world, in fact I think my Grandma used an inexpensive yarn but this shawl is soooo resistant...

My Mom wash it once a week in the washing machine and...it's still here...

Now...my Mom would like to have a new one and so...as she knows that I'm a very expert crocheter (more than 2 weeks ago I started learning crochet...LOL) she asked me to make her a new shawl following the patter of this one...

Wow!!!

I watched it and studied it a bit and...it doesn't seems too much difficult to duplicate...

But...how much time it will requires?

mmm...mmm...

Does someone of you ever made a shawl like this?

This morning we bought a nice and inexpensive yarn (as I'm not sure I will be able to make it)...and...I'm going to start it!

So, please, wish me good luck!!!!

Have a nice Saturday!!!!

4 seasons swap!

Hi!
Some years ago I met 3 wonderful Girls through the Web: Nico, Chiara and Simo.
We immediately became great friends also if we live in 4 differents regions in Italy...

But, every year we try to organize a meeting for spend a bit of time together, usually a couple of days sewing, chatting, eating, laughing!
And...every day, we exchange emails!!!
We all are a bit crazy and...we are crafters!
We created a group and so we are C4P (that means Crazy For Patch).

Now...we organized a swap between us...a 4 season swap!
We already did the winter swap and now we are ready to prepare something nice and cute for the Spring one!

Chiara made this wonderful image for remember us the swap, thanks Chiara!!!!
I love you all so much my dear Crazy friends!!!!!
