made...Baby Blanket !!

Bobble stitches everywhere!!! Ive been working on this blanket secretly for some time now....my first baby crochet project and im in love with it!!! its very soft and cuddly and the bobbles make it look so cute and happy. its very warm too!
Just 4 different colours of acrylic yarn (i asked for a yarn that's especially for babies) and a great pattern that you can find here for free !!!!

making a new painting

Hello dear friends!!!  So many things going around here these days...we started buying the baby stuff, finished painting and cleaning the room and had a car accident!!! just a few minutes from our home a very "responsible" driver thought that stop signs are not for him and we crashed right on his jeep...it wasn't our fault and there was nothing we could do to avoid him....i spent 2,5 hours in hospital just to check that the baby is ok...and thank God we're all safe....we are so lucky the airbags didn't open and the seat belts kept us unharmed...
back to happier things now, i just started making a new painting...this one for the baby room...although i wanted to have it in the living room but mrB says its way too silly !! hehehe....
in a couple of days ill have it ready and i will share a better picture with you!

painting the baby room !!!

Oh! im sooo happy, soooo excited!!! We finally started making the baby room...painting of course is the first thing to do and mrB is doing all the work cause i can barely move these days...
we were thinking something grey or green...blue is too common....and in the end we chose this very light and warm green/blue colour...a great contrast for all the decorations and toys that will fill the room. white would also make a great contrast but for some reason i just cant stand white walls...they feel so empty to me...although they look great on photos...

tomorrow mrB is going to paint some little details left and then a good cleaning will be my job...and its not gonna be easy...just take a look at the floor...oh mrB can be so clumsy some times...i hope some warm soap will do the job...there's paint everywhere!!!
and then..on Thursday we'll go and buy all the baby stuff needed...a crib and a dresser, curtains, photo frames and toys....i have it all planned in my head but do feel free to advice us !!!!we are not really sure whats necessary or not...

making a new blanket

What better way to start the new year than with a new crochet project ?? My dear friend Natassa spent her Christmas holidays with us and brought me a huge bag full of yarns....different colours and kinds and all lovely...such an amazing gift!!! So i decided to start making things and first of all a brand new crochet blanket...this time im making granny squares with puff flowers in the middle. Don't they look lovely???

im making only two variations and this is how im gonna stitch them together in the end....so colourful and happy !!
these granny squares are pretty easy to make and if you wanna give it a go you can find the pattern here.
Jacquie has a super cute and helpful blog that i follow daily...in fact it's one of those that made me want to learn how to crochet...

So us you all understand i'll be spending my cold afternoons crocheting more and more squares till i have more than enough....and something tells me it wont take much long ;)

winter takes and some resolutions

Its freezing cold these days and we're trying to keep warm as much as we can...staying inside is the best way but the winter colours are so lovely that really capture your heart...impossible to resist a quick walk by the river...
back home drinking tea and sitting right next to the heater is all we can do...unfortunately we don't have a fire place...
all covered with warm clothes and blankets i crochet most of the time...then draw a little and make plans...plans in my head about the baby room and stuff...what we need to buy..what we have to fix...and with all that come a few new year resolutions...
1. be a good mum....it all seems so difficult and new to me but i promise myself to do the best i can for my baby!!! of course i am already a "mum" of three....my two little dogies and my lovely mrB that seems to act more like a 13year old   :p
2. organize my time as best as i can....wake up early in the morning and go to bed as a normal person and not at 4 in the morning.....this will help me keep up with the housework and my hobbies without running around like crazy...
3. more walks for me and the little ones....we do need to get out more,not minding the bad weather...
4. make more blog posts.....this means more photos...and hopefully better ones as well !!!
5. do something for myself...i do need to spoil myself in some way cause last year was somehow a disaster...i struggled with depression most of the time (im still not over it) and couldn't feel really happy with anything...so learning new things, keeping up with as many hobbies as i can and getting out more will do the trick i think. im planning to start running again - after the baby comes and when my body feels ready - maybe go to a gym or a dance class and maybe learn a new language...so many things on my mind...i wish ill have the time for some...
of course these are not my only resolutions for 2013....there are so many more things i want to do or change that it would take me hours and hours to write them down...i just think these are the most important ones.
what about you??? what are your resolutions and plans for the new year???

Happy New Year !!!!

I just wanna say a big big big THANKS to all of you...thanks for your support, your comments, your friendship....i know I've disappeared again but I'm trying to keep up with all of you...reading silently your comments here and your blog posts...
i hope you all had wonderful holidays and that the new year will be a better one for all of us especially the ones in need...i just wish for peace, justice, love and good health for all the world!!!!
Have a great and happy 2013  my friends, i love you all !!!! xxxxx
