Happy Monday!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! :-)
I am still very behind my "to do" list... after the terrible flu we had here needed some time of rest and peace, and more family time. It is exactly what we did this weekend. :-)
But the most urgent things to do now are:
* finish the pattern for ladies shrug or vest (it is almost finished so hopefully this week I will release it);
* make photos for next "crochet tips" post;
* list many new items in my crochetvalley.etsy.com shop where I sell finished items;
Oh, I can go on for quite long with urgent and not so urgent things to do...
Well, hopefully this week I will manage to shorten my "to do" list :-)
Have a great week!

Our weekend...

Well, it was a sad weekend. First of all I couldn't stop thinking about what happened in Norway. It is terrible! My heart is with all people who have to go through this, who lost their children... their family members... it is such a pain. Then arrived the news about Amy Winehouse... so sad... Yes, she was absolutely self destructive and such end was predictable, but she was only 27, and she was so talented...

It was raining all weekend here, and though I always enjoy staying at home while outside is bad weather (what can be better than being in cozy home, crocheting and watching children playing while outside is rainy and windy?!), I felt like we needed some cheer up! A few days ago I came across this recipe and I knew at once - I have to try it! It was the right moment to do it. And here is the result!

It was exactly what I needed... :-) Only instead of raspberries I used mix of berries.

Have a good week my friends! :-)

Beautiful weekend and new patterns...

Spring is here! At least to Italy it finally arrived. And we enjoy it a lot! We had beautiful weather this weekend and spent wonderful time... here are some pics from our Sunday walk to Piazza Unita - main square of Trieste.

My children didn't have right mood for making photos - my little boy was trying to escape each time we took the camera in our hands, but Sophie slept all way long... and of course we didn't want to wake her up... :-) I hope you had beautiful weekend too!

And here are some new patterns:

Chocolate Baby Booties and....




... Ruffle Mary Janes!
Enjoy and have a wonderful week!

Weekend...

I hope everyone had nice weekend! We did! First of all we had marvelous weather here - almost like summer. I was very inspired to do some "gardening"... well, I don't have real garden, unfortunately, but I have balcony and other places in my home where I can enjoy this little hobby. I planted some new flowers, took care about old ones... I am also very excited about my new little friend - Bonsai! I just love it!

To celebrate this sunny and warm weekend we also made some sunny and delicious muffins with cherries...
