Hello Dear Friends!
Wow! I have been absent from blogging for such a long time, partly because I was working most of the time and partly because my babettish blanket has turned into  a tedious task.

However,  I am happy to announce that finally I have completed all the squares. Above photo shows some of them as well as beautiful work of art drawn by my Little Man on his table and chairs :)

While the babette-ish blanket squares were crocheted slowly we celebrated neighbour's daughter's birthday.

 New year....

  We went sight-seeing to the beautiful town of Famagusta.Above photo shows Saint Nicholas Cathedral.

 Palazzo Del Provveditore (the Royal Palace) entrance,Famagusta.

We spent some time with my nephew...(please note that he is wearing a cardigan knit by his aunt)

 We celebrated grand-father's birthday...

Attended 'local products day' activities at my Little Man's kindergarten. Above picture shows 4 year olds in traditional costumes staging a wedding ceremony.

There was an exhibition too and my hexagons blanket was on display.
This sums up what I have been doing ; last couple of months were far from being productive but hopefully I will be back with a ta-daa post soon!
Have a lovely day! Gaia.

I have been knitting...

Hello Dear Friends!
Yes, I have been knitting. Winter finally arrived and after drooling over so many lovely projects especially on pinterest and lovely blogs like Dear Meredith's , I have decided to give it a go.
I chose an easy pattern for a co-worker from Garnstudio . So, here it is ;

The photo is shot with an iPhone in my pharmacy and this explains the shelves with medications.
I hope you have a lovely day! Gaia.

Today I read something interesting....

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.
