Here’s a little photo frame I made with the girls for my mum’s birthday this week-end … It was easy, quick and fun. I wrote a little tutorial to make a similar photo frame with felt appliquà©s if you want some fun too…! :-) Plus Mother’s day is still a week or so ahead here […]

This week we went to my parents to see my brother and his family before they leave again for their home away on a sunny island.. It was my niece’s 4th birthday, perfect occasion to give her the Roselette I made for her with some variagated cotton yarn from Ebay. It’s a tad large but […]

My grandmother used to knit a lot. I’m not sure if she’s the one who taught me or if my mum did. But I remember seing her often with needles and yarn, knitting stuff for her numerous grandchildren. Then she got parkinson’s desease and gradually could not do a lot of the things she used […]

Remember that yellow and purple beret from a couple posts back ? It was sitting beside my “office” as I wanted to decrease a few more stitches on the last rounds when Prune saw it yesterday and asked “it’s for me ?” It just looked so perfect on her that I immediately redid the last […]

Haha, so excited and impatient to post the first pics of my totally finished Violaine top !! I just love it, so funny to see the three of us in the same sweater !! :-P Actually I’m so happy with it that I may have to keep it…!! I was thinking of putting this one […]

These are so fast now that I have the pattern right. I just make sure I count my stitches EVERY round now… ;-) I’ve redone my first Kureyon beret, the one that i keep for myself. Some would say it doesn’t do a huge difference but it does. It’s smaller and cuter and just the […]

Here’s the third Disco beret, made with 2 skeins of Kureyon 138. I was shocked to see how amazing the colors turned out (the inside is uber cute too in shades of pink and purples with contrasting green rows). I’ve been wearing it all the time since I finished it. But because I want it […]

I finished yesterday my second beret for Prune’s teacher. It should be in her favourite colors, black with a touch of lime green (soft and fuzzy angora). I hope she likes it and gets to wear it. She’s a very nice person, Prune is so lucky to have her as her first ever school teacher. […]

Helloooo ! I’m back… We got back then left again for New Year’s Eve and I just didn’t blog in between. The holidays were great, nice time with the family, blue skies, fresh snow and crisp air.. Perfect ! I hope you had a great time too and wish you all sorts of great things […]

I was not in the mood this year and have hardly prepared any Xmas presents at all. But that’s ok, I have stuff for the kids and nephews etc… and we mostly enjoy to be all together at this time of the year. I really love not having this pressure to prepare presents for everyone […]
