Almost Weekend

regarding the previous post

thank you all for the warm welcome to the Miami Beach blanket!

to answer your questions:

* yes, it works for me to draw a design first, 

to get an idea of where I am going and see if I have enough yarn in stock, nothing more frustrating to me than working on a crochet or knit project and realize halfway that I don't have enough yarn to finish it
* no, I don't use a crochet book to try out new stitches, I am still satisfied with single, double and treble crochet and the possibility those stitches give me. I do have some new stitches in my Pinterest Board

* those are indeed Sharpies, I got myself a set in the USA and I love to use them for my designs, 

because their colors match the intensity of the cotton yarn I use

it is Friday

almost weekend

and I am playing around with tape, cups and yarn

this home is still becoming more our home every day

and I love to see the progress

over time I have ordered quite a few Farrow and Ball wallpaper samples

they are perfect for little craft projects

and match my currently favorite cups

these three are almost a perfect set

except the yellow cup is missing a yellow saucer

but I love perfection in imperfection

so yummy these colors

my kind of eye candy

and a hint of spring and Easter too

I am looking forward to a nice weekend

of course I will add some lines to the Miami Beach blanket

we have a sweet boy's birthday party and a dinner on Saturday with good friends

and a big new addition comes to our home on Monday... I almost can not wait to tell you... pure joy for me

wishing you a great weekend too!
