I have been busy...

Hello!
When I feel a bit depressed or stressed , I crochet...This is my way of fighting stress. And I can tell you; I have been busy. I turn something negative into something positive and the result is soooooo satisfying. So here is my first project:

I am not a fan of potholders.When I started this project ,I intended it to be a pillow. But then I realized it will take me too long to finish it so I ended up with my first crocheted potholder!The pattern can be found here.

It looks so good in my kitchen!


Second project; I have been working on this project since long; I started with great enthusiasm and lost my concentration in the middle. Now I just need to sew the squares together and I will have one more pillow...

Third project; another pillow.It was such a pleasure to work with that yarn and colours. I just need to find the right fabric and sew it into a pillow...

Forth project: something I did long ago waiting to be turned into another pillow...

And believe me, I have some more WIPs....

Bunting...

I have to confess ,I am new to the concept of ''bunting''. But I have liked the idea of crochet bunting when I came across with them on several lovely blogs. So here is what I did for my youngest son's birthday party.

I couldn't decide where to put them exactly; I tried a few places...

The birthday party will be tomorrow and I will decide tomorrow...

Tomorrow afternoon we will be having a birthday party and a cake!

Sunburst Granny Square Blanket Ta-dah!

I am sooooo excited! My baby blanket is finally finished!

There are 84 squares.

The edging is from Edie Eckman's 'Around the Corner Crochet Borders'. It turned out to be so nice; I couldn't stop myself watching and watching the beautiful border.

Because Cyprus is very hot,I prefer to work with merserized cotton in summer. It was such a pleasure to work with this yarn....And the result is very satisfying too.

This blanket is meant for my youngest son (he will be 2 years old on the 23rd of this month)  for his bed at his grandparents house.

I enjoy crocheting blankets but they take such a long time to finish! So for my next project, I am thinking to start something which I will be able to complete in a short time. Now I am surfing the blogs for inspiration. I have few projects on mind , but I am not decided yet.

I hope you have a  wonderful week-end !
