A New Baby Blanket

Hello Dear Friends!

My cousin's wife is expecting a baby girl, so I decided to crochet a blanket for her. The baby is due April which gives me time to crochet and ship it to Australia. This will be my first experience to ship anything abroad.

Today is a bright sunny day, my Little Man's horse riding lesson is cancelled so it will be a day to relax rather than run here and there.I will be enjoying home hopefully.

Have a beautiful Sunday!
Gaia.

sleepless

I cannot sleep!It is almost 1 am, and I cannot sleep!  It is so hot and we are under midge and mosquito attack.( Besides I had a cup of  Turkish coffee in the afternoon.)

It is the end of school year; summer holiday officially started. My Little One got his report last Friday. Unfortunately , there is no holiday for us. His summer school starts tomorrow...

I am more relaxed at work mostly because summer season is the slow season for pharmacies in Cyprus due to the fact that the state supplies all the medication for free and there is no colds and flu's in summer...

We are having a very weird summer this year ; it is hot but not  40 degrees C yet. So we are spending lots of time in the pool on the week-ends. When it is pool time, hubby takes charge of the Little One and I have maximum two hours to crochet... Heaven!

I have one problem,though... I cannot concentrate on one project! I start one project then I get bored and start another-almost every week- then, I buy some new skeins and can't wait to try the new yarn , so here comes another wip...

Here is my latest wip: ( I shot the photos with iPhone by the pool in the afternoon so please don't expect much from the photos; this is just to give an idea)

The insect repellents and the incense started working better now so I am off to bed to get some sleep. I hope you have a great day ! Gaia....

New inspiration

Hello,
After yesterday's post , I felt much better when I got back home.I had dinner at my parents' so when I was home  I had time to crochet!
First thing I did was to gift wrap the the baby blanket I had crocheted earlier.

Then I organized my yarn to photograph them

This yarn is microfiber with a silk effect.Easy to work with.

This yarn is 100% cotton. I tried it few months before and didn't like it but when I tried again yesterday with a different hook size, I think this will be my favourite yarn for this summer.

And lastly, my sister's baby blanket progress

I will add two more rows and a border.
That is all from me today. Have a lovely day! Gaia.
