Spring 2012

Second day on our winter break : I slept (but this of course isn't the time when I got up!!!). My bedside (a little piece of wooden furniture found in a flea market), my alarm, my grand-mother sewing box (which now contains the little jewlery I keep but...

Magic basket

Reading According to Matt yesterday morning, I realized I had a great bag as well : it is only used when I go the gym (that is to say not so often these days...Hum). So, one second later my bag was given a new but vital task : be the gardian of my projects!...

Selfish time

I don't ski. I know how, but I never liked it. I used to go when I was a child, ill-equiped I suppose, freezing from head to toes. And I'm definetly not a physical person. I love calm and activities that go with it. So, skiing was not meant for me : heavy...

Etole à torsade

Another first time : first cable!!! I chose a pattern from La Droguerie with a single, central cable and worked my way with a DPN (not having any cable needle). And you know what? It's kind of easy once you understand how it works. Ok, it took me a while...

Du bleu dans la maison #1

I don't know what's with blue and me but the least I can say is that it's an old love story! It all started in August 1993 : after having spent 6 weeks in North Yorkshire (not far from the beautiful city of York) that included a lot of rain and grey skies...

Wool & jeans

Last time I walked into a charty shop looking for a new pair of jeans (I only had one left, and two is a minimum!), I spotted some yarn. Colorful, synthetic, rather uninteresting, but oh my! at the bottom of the box, were these 6 skeins of natural cream...

new boots

No more new clothes! At least for me. I said that a few months ago. Not really sure I could manage. First because I like shopping, and then because second-hand shops are quite rare here, in my small provincial town. Fortunatly, there are a lot on the...

Mémé Toto

I told you I was finishing my first pair of hand-knit socks... But what I haven't told you is that this thing about hand-knit socks, this kind of virus (because that's what it seems to be when you read posts across the blogo) was given to me by Mémé Toto....

I'm dreaming of a white week-end...

Just like the one we 've just had! Who could dream of a better week-end? A quiet Friday evening, my usual market shopping on Saturday morning (with my little one, while Manu and ' notre grand' are at the swimming-pool for their scuba-diving training)....

40!

Happy birthday to me.... Well in a few days, anyway.... I'll turn 40! Wahou....Seems incredible : already! But, I'm not the least sad or regretful, as my years were filled with many satisfactions : two boys, a loving man, a house not so far from the sea,...

I was busy...getting married!

I left my blog aside for a while because I was quite busy preparing my 40th birthday party (in fact, we decided to get married on the same day!) It was a surprise, even for our own children! I loved the day, eventhough it was raining!!! I made my own...

Spring baby

Finished! So, here is my first ripple. As I said, the colors were chosen according to my brother's home, but in the end, I quite like it. I didn't make the cover too babyish, but still, the result is tender enough to fit in a crib. The yarn is from Cheval...

Japonese flower scarf

Crochet is something I've wanted to do for years, but eventhough it was explained to me, I never could get it. So, I gave up the idea. Until I saw this, this and this again!!! And then, that was it! Green with envy, I decided I HAD to learn! I found a...

Ripple : second edition!

How can you explain the funny fact that every one of us has several things on the needles/crochet? Is it temptation : "Oh! a new yarn!"? (works as well with "Oh! a new pattern!") Or is it the fear to be left without anything to do (the mere thought makes...

Cinéma!

I wanted one of those... And on sunday morning, across the street, was the annual school flea market... And there it was, just waiting for me! And the best part was that it wasn't even too expensive... The seat folds, like a real cinema chair.... There's...

Week-end #1

Special Sunday at our place as I turned 40! I was absolutely spoiled : cards, presents, phone calls, "tarte Tatin" from Manu himself! Glorious weather (still extremely cold though), cakes, walk on the harbour. And so much love. My little one bought me...

Flowers...and now what?

I had found these very appealing, and wanted to make some too. But well, now, I don't know what to do with them!!!! These Japonese flowers will be waiting for my inspiration to awake. J'avais trouvé beaucoup de charme à celles-ci, et bien sûr, pour ne...

Snow-time!

Here is the snow! Very rare around here, and even super rare when it lasts..... That's how our baby palmtree spent the week in a white garden. According to me, we could do without snow, without winter altogether... But my boys don't agree with on this...

Really nasty weather here for the spring break.... So, apart from driving the kids to various activities, watching a lot of TV, thinking hard about how I should really be preparing my party (less than a month now....) I managed this bowl of comforting...

pyj.

I wanted new pyjamas. Luckily, my rule not to buy new doesn't apply to underwear, socks or pyjamas... well, I guess you easily understand why... But after a quick and unsuccessful prospection to my local Monoprix, I decided to make my own . I chose a...

Luchon Doors

Let me wander in a new town with my came ra, and here is what happen : pictures of doors! I don't know why it is that I like about them. Like the cover of a book, they are the beginning of a story. They are similar, made according to a country or an area...

Granny squares!

After a break during which I slept, it rained, so I slept some more, it rained again, so....and so on, I gathered enough energy to crochet again (which also means, to go to bed after 9.30pm....as I usually crochet in front of the evening film, after the...
