WIP progress -'babette-ish blanket'

Hello Dear Friends!
I hope you are all well. Last couple of my days have been so hectic I have been always stressful and tired. Yet, I have managed to squeeze in a little bit of beauty;

I have collected all the fruits of my tangerine tree, squeezed the juice and made lemonade.

I almost finished my wip, then changed my mind . I have decided to make it bigger to fit a double bed. So this project is still a wip and will be a wip for a long time...




Have a lovely day! Gaia.

WIP

Hello Dear Friends!
I am so excited! When I first started this project , I had my doubts but now , I am so happy with how it turned out...

Those of you who follow my little blog may know that I am not good at sewing but with this project I am even enjoying sewing!
Most of you might have recognized this pattern as the 'Babette Blanket' but I used the Klimt Blanket Layout .
I can't wait to be back with a ta-daaa! post .
Have a lovely day! Gaia...

Staying at home

Hello Dear Friends,
Today was a holiday and we stayed home. Such a rare happening in our lives...
My little man enjoyed his breakfast watching TV and colouring....


We did some gardening; planting ourselves a kitchen herbs pot.
And of course, there was a lot of crochet going on....I actually finished a South Bay Shawlette.
But my real project was not the shawlette. It is something else...
I have been working with this yummy yarn...

This is the same yarn I crocheted my hexagons blanket . The colours are so lovely that I couldn't help starting another blanket.
My Little One enjoyed being at home. He played and played with his toys till he fell asleep while playing with them.
This is on my hook now. I would like to crochet some more but tomorrow will be a tough day at work  and I'd better be off to bed. Goodnight! Gaia.

WIP; the hexagon blanket


Hello Dear Friends!
I hope you all had a lovely week-end. As you might have guessed, I have started sewing my hexagons together.


It turned out better than I expected; it is gorgeous! I showed it to my neighbours already and they are stunned; even my mother liked it and she said I should have an exhibition with my blankets. I was so happy with this remark . Who knows? Maybe someday I will have a stand in one of those village festivals ...

As I was sewing them together, I realized that my sewing has improved and I am doing a much neater job.
Of course,I could have finished this by this week-end but got busy with other projects as well; I have started a shawl and did this:

I do not know what to call this; a doily? a hexagon? But it sure proved to be very useful. I use it as a water glass cover :)

Have a lovely week! Gaia.
