Soooo it's been awhile...

been busy...been debating whether to keep blogging or not.... think I will.

Here are a couple of instagram pics via,Hope, from Jennifer's baby shower!

It would be soooo sweet

to hear from you darling blog friends!!!!

The other blanket...

A bucket of colorful yarn to make another blanket for grandbaby number two; sex yet unknown.

Wonderful beachy colors just right for a little one who will reside in Miami, Fl. The yarn is a fingering weight extra fine merino; soooo yummy soft!

The pattern i used is called, Miami Beach Blanket. Maaike of Crejjtion fame designed the blanket and i purchased it from her etsy shop!

The blankie whipped up in no time, partly because the directions and color charts were so easy to follow and because i was a bit obsessive while working on it.  :)

I can't wait to hold little Florida baby wrapped up in this sweet blankie... I think it will do for a boy or a girl!

How bout you?

Voila!

 

Baby blanket  is finally finished!!!  I added fuchsia around each square and scallops around the blanket !

 

 

 

 

this blankie is for grandbaby number two, sex unkown by the way,  i know... i know... i just had to take a chance this baby will be a girl!

 

 

I love the way this blanket turned out.  A nod to retro bohimian chic, just my daughter's style!

And, if by chance the baby turns out to be a boy I have started on another sweet blankie, lol, i just can't help myself.  :)

 

What's your latest crafting or making adventure?

My wish for you is a....

Happy, happy May Day!

Three little cotton bunny tails!  (actually the are angora bunny tails)

Wishing you a hoppy spring day!

The colors for the next project....ta da!!!!

Easter!

I love the little cotton tails.

These booties are super soft  thanks to the angora yarn!



they will keep some wee  one's feet

nice and toasy.

I used the Debbie Bliss pattern in her fall/winter 2011 magazine.  I must say these booties were a little challenging at first, but I was able to get the hang of it. :)

Happy Easter!!!!

Have a tweet day!



Pint of....

this angora yarn in different shades is amazingly soft as well a pretty!

aqua, fucshia,white, and raspberry pink 100% angora, fuzzy yummynous.  Guess which colors will be  apart of my next project!!

I adore these aqua blue pint containers too!

Big Softy

That's me especially

when it comes to yummylicious yarn....

   

I whipped this fucsia, angora yarn into a sweet headband for my grandaughter ....

 

and I'm definitely a big softy when it comes to baby sweetness! 

Soooo enjoying being a grandma!

Brighten your day with....

It's such a happy color and one of my favorites.  I simply have to have it around!

My kitchen walls are yellow.

I love to wear yellow... proud to have my own dottie angel wrap apron.  I am very content pottering around my house whilst wearing this very "granny chic" apron!

This time of year yellow peeps are bound to appear....they always make me smile and they're completely yummy too!

What lovely color finds its way in to your home?

Purple, blue and....

fuchsia!

Perfect colors for a new make; a baby blanket for grandchild number 2. Hip hip horray! (shouted while jumping up and down)

These colors are the choice of my bohemian, ecclectic, chic daughter number three.  Her wee one will snuggle in Cascade's ultra pima cotton.  Thinking, granny squares have a bohemian feel right?

p.s. if this little one is not a girl I will have to start another blanket :)

New loves...

Tif Fussell's book..... dottie angel the peachy crafty world of tif fussell and crochet on paper! Especially, paper hearts.

dottie angel is the charmingly, granny chic, alter ego of Miss Tif, who whips up  vintage goodies by the score. One can't help but smile while reading this cheery book, and wonder, "why didn't I think of that".  You can find Tif here,here

The most amazing, collegiate crafter ever inspired these hearts framed in pink cotton scallops.  Meridith shares her knitting and crafting joy here

Ohh.... I love tulips too!



Sweet Friends....

Sending you a heartfelt sentiment...

Happiest of Valentines Day to you!

P.s. the yarn used for the crochet heart is a cashmerino fingering weight and is yummy soft!

It's time to....

Speaking of love.... coffee is one of mine.  Cappachino, white chocolate latte, or just plain brew with a shot of vanilla all hit the spot and serve to make the day a bit more special.  I've been seeing this cup make the rounds in blog land so I thought i would add mine. The cup is really too pretty to throw out. 

I'll take mine with cherry sours please!

And... I soooo adore hearing from you dear blog friends!

Introducing...

my sweet grandbaby girl...

Soooo glad you are here!



the results could be ....

Have a bright day!

Snippets

So I received a perplexing e-mail yesterday.  Pic nik, the photo editing site, that I use is closing in April.  The e-mail directed future former users to go to google + for editing.   Hmmm.... so  I did, and it turned out to be picasa.  I downloaded it and began to fiddle.  Voila!  Here is the result of my experimentation with a new editing program.  Little bits of Hopelessly Romantic Art Studio's year of 2011

What do you think?

Waiting,,,,

for our first grand baby girl to arrive!  It's soooo terribly hard to sit still. Knitting and purling away on another sweet blankie for our bundle of joy helps...

BTW, i am using Debbie Bliss, baby chashmerino in light pink for this so soft blankie

should be soon now....sigh

would sooooo love to hear from you, dearies!
