In need of good vibes

Hi there, I feel in need of good vibes in here, my little one has fever, it's about 1 month that he felt ill, and every one week the temperature goes high.... I need some lovely though in here, anyway tomorrow we will have urinalysis just to be sure there is no infection. You can imagine how I'm feeling....
Last month I have designed a new travel tea bag holder pouch, this time is crocheted and I'm really happy on how it turned out.

I will list a lot of them into my etsy before or later, so stay tuned!

This morning I found a copycat on Etsy, that's so awful! She is Italian and is really sad having people like this that still ideas to other and write "Original" on their etsy shop and listing. Anyway I have compared the listing of this person with the properly member, and report it to etsy admin. One of the copied listing it's my own design.... my original travel tea bag holder pouch, do you remember of them?

I will relist them when I will have the time to sewing again ah ah.

That's all for today, don't forget to send your best wishes for my son and don't forget that I love you and I need your feedback! :)
Love, Giusy

This morning I made a list of all the crochet project I want to make, hard to decide wich one will be the first and at the end I decided that the smallest will be the first and so on till the last one on my list.

So, after my Lucy's bag will be finished.....

Bunting in the night

Good monday everyone!

Veggies for Marco's lunch are already washed and the pot is on fire, the little one is sleeping so I can take 2 or 3 minutes for myself and blog, yaiii!!

Well, the next monday I'll start working again, it will be orrible to go back to work after a year and a half I am at home-mom... the good thing is I'll working part-time till my son's first birthday.

Sooo let me think to positive things now, and let me show you what I made this past week.
On the other monday I've started working on my Lucy's bag, I've already added more rows than are shown in the picture, but I haven't took other new photos of the ongoing project.

I've also received the Lucy's Yarn Pack from First 4 Yarn, and I must say that the Rico cotton is delicious!! The colours are bright and it is very soft to the touch. I love it and I think I'm going to make a blanket in the next future.

On Friday I've added a touch of Shabby - Chic interior furniture to my chicken, a hand paited towel hanger I found for just a few euros in a cute local shop, cute doesn't it?

And on Saturday night, after having put Marco to bed, I've got two busy hour making a bunting garland to decorate his bedroom wall....

I always looked at bunting garland and I felt a bit intimidate about it, but I've just started with some simply collage and colored pencil and at the end I was satisfied by the result.

that's all folks!! See you next monday!!!
Love, Giusy

Fabric + Crochet = A dress!

Do you remember my secret project? As I mention here I was in need to go to my mom to complete it. So, on sunday me and the little one spent the afternoon to my lovely mom and while she looked after Marco, I was able to complete my secret project!

I've used some ideas from the the web to make it, for the top I altered the chart of this pattern and for the dress I've just sewed a tube and attatch it to the top. You can find a tutorial on how to make a tube dress at the Verypurpleperson's blog.
That's all!! It's too hot to sit in front of the PC today!!!
See ya!

Week end Mix

Good Morning!! The week end started with the house cleaning to be done, I wake up early this morning so at 9.00 I completed all that boring work.
Marco is growing and I was lucky enough to take a shoot of his first stand up alone :)

Yesterday I've got a walk with Marco and my mother at the city centre, my mom make me happy with a gift... while I was sigh at a yarn's shop window, she come in and bought me 14 new colorful yarn!!

I felt so cheerful and lucky to have such a lovely mom :)) Now I have yarn enough to make the Lucy Bag or ripple blanket, I'll see.

This week I worked on the crochet edging for my cup's shelf, I almost finished it, I think it will be finished for the next week end.

This week I also surfed a lot the web and got oh and ah to many more lovely sites and blog, I felt ispired and definitely hooked at hook!
I will make a "share the love" post very soon and show you my favorite blog at the moment.
Well, before go and put the little one to bed, please take a look at my grandmother new blog: GrannyPeppa, I am so proud of her!

Wish you a happy and colorful and cheerful Week end!!
Love, Giusy

Completed one, started another

Hello my lovelies, we have had very hot wheather in those past week end and I was feeling very very lazy, but at the same time my hands doesn't stop and keeps going on the granny squares project, they turned out in a sofa cushion, I just appliqued it on a cushion cover, too lazy to make all that mess by cutting fabric, sewing edges, making a "real" cushion myself, I'm pleased with the result instead.

Well, finished one, I've started another hooky project, I didn't took picture of the crochety one, but I will show you for what and in wich colors I'm making it :)
I want to make an edging for the cup's shelf on my kitchen, I was lucky enough to find the yarn in the same colors of the tiles.... Am I lucky, did I?

Ok, that's all for now ladies, my little Marco is calling me!!! Moooommmmaaaa :)
Have a nice and fresh air week!!
talk to you soon I hope!
With much love, Giusy

The missed weekend reflection

Hello! I missed my weekend reflection post, but this past week and week end was busier than usual. Marco was Baptized on saturday, and till friday we was getting ready for the party after the Baptism.

Despite the tiredness in the evening I crocheted some new grannies block, I have not a specific project in mind, I'm still pondering whether to make a pillow, a bag or something, we will see.

Altered Moleskine for crochet lover available at my etsy

Meanwhile the project I show you last week is at my mom's home, I need the sewing machine to finish it, and since mine is locked in the cupboard under piles of other things, I'm waiting for a spare afternoon to go there and complete my Secret Project.

So, here we are... I want to show you Marco's creative space :) Isn't it lovely?
He is in the rolls phase so I layed some blankets and a quilt on the floor to prevent he beat his head on the parquet :)

That's all for now, I wish you a lovely week!
See you soon!! Giusy

Week end reflections: WE already!

Days are running like the wind in here! I'm weaning Marco, so each day is extremely long and busy, I cook, cook, cook, try to make him eating the pap, still breast feading him, changing pad, taking bath etc.

I usually get up at 6.30 in the morning and I fall asleep at 23.00. The last one hour, if I'm not completely destroyed, I crochet.
I have in mind a precise project and I will blog about when I'll finish it.
For now, there is just a sneak pick of it and a mumble thumble for the week end!

If you blog during this week end and would like to share your post, add it (the link to your blog or flickr post (NOT your blog or site) in here below in Misterlinky box!!

Week end reflections: Ufo

The other day we was in need of a light bedcover so I pulled out an unfinished quilt that was just waiting to have the border sewn by 6 years! You know, when you have to do because you need something, you do it, and now my aged UFO (Unfinished Object) quilt is finally finished.

So today my week end reflection is about UFO, is our life comparable as how many ufo we have in our craft closet? I have tons of UFO!! and into my daily life it seems I can't be very organized as I'd love to. So my reflection this day is to try getting more organized... and pulled out another UFO from the closet and try to complete it soon, I will let you know.

Have a happy week end!

My Dreaming Life

**************************************************************

1. birds 9 realistic, 2. tiny foot, 3. family tree full, 4. IMG_7221, 5. new project, 6. Meet me on the screened in porch..., 7. granny bunting, 8. African Flower blanket, 9. Old, faithful and just a little purple...

Above are some images representing my dreaming life. Lately I'm thinking about a simpliest and more confortable lifestyle for me and my family, this is how I'd love to live:

* I love to be a wife and mom, I'd love to be also a housewife and stay home mom and quit my day job.
* I love my little prince, and I'd love to have a new one in the next 2 or 3 year.
* Stay with my family
* Living somewhere in Virginia (USA) in a house like the one in the photo above.
* I'd love to have much more spare time to relax and crochet.
* I'd love to have a patio to welcome friends, sipping tea, playing and reading novels to my childs.
* Celebrate each day of my life with a colorful thought.
* I love to stay warm and relaxed under a granny crocheted blanket.
* I'd love to have an old Volkswagen caravan to move with my family.

This could be my perfect and happy life. :)
