I heart you

image by restlessthings on Etsy


We don't celebrate Valentine around here but I couldn't resist to let you know that I heart you!
There are so many things to thank you for and it's a reason for me to create, live, love, give...
I love seeing you stop by my blog, read my ramblings, follow my processes, leave comments or perhaps be an invisible support.
I wish you a lovely day whatever you are planning to do... :)
Happy Valentines day!

Ripple dreams... part 3

Have you been looking forward to see the progress on my ripple blanket ?
I have been eager to show you.
Rippling is so much fun, I have been really enjoying myself.
Although I did have to unripple a few times because I didn't count carefully enough but I also found a way to cheat when I didn't feel like unrippling it all. :)
I just added a double crochet together (dctog) or did an extra double crochet when neccesary. And the fun part is, you can't see it - I love it.
Are you ready?
Right now, it looks like one, big long scarf...
Do you like the colors together?
Bad bad me, I still haven't sewed in the ends...
Each row takes me about 1,5 hour to finish and I did one every day this week. Not sure if I can keep up with this pace but we'll see.

I also think I have not ordered enough yarn & I don't have any yellow which I regret. I need to find some more yarn before I complete all first rows. Might do some shopping today.
Have you been rippling yet? Get inspired at Lucy's Attic! :)

My creative space

Remember I was making cards last week? While making them, I came up with a new design...
I cut out the pieces.They look a bit weird like this.
This looks better already.
No party without happy people.
Today, I will take pictures of this card and put it in the shop.
These designs are Dutch and I will take 'em to the fairs with me.
Want to show you creative space? Hop over to Kootoyoo's to play! It's fun! :)

Flickr Favorites

1. it's spring, look to the skies, 2. flip flop, 3. swinging creases, 4. sit with me...

I'm ready! REALLY ready!
I am already wearing shortsleeved shirts inside the house and wear my wintercoat over them when I go out. A bit silly perhaps but I protest against this long, cold winter now. It's been enough!
Can't wait for the first rays of sunshine to come, so I can wear my flipflops, hang the washing out, plan a picnic and watch everything bloom and grow!
Are you ready too?

Last weeks favorite mosaic was all about Shibui. Go find out what that is here! :)
