….. it's seems I'm a bit lazy with my hooks lately, in part it's true and in part it's not…
I'm working a colourful piece of fabric ( just look above!) in which double crochet stripes ( in red and hot pink) alternate single crochet ones ( in blue, lime green, peach and pink !), but still I'm not sure what I'm crocheting……
…. and I don't feel the urge to complete this "thing"! I'm very relaxed about everything lately, probably because it's about time to feel in this way!!! The big move is done and we are simply waiting for our stuff to be at home with us…. after that, we'll surely feel at home again!!!
I think I have to enjoy this quiet time…. kids are "back" (well, they started school in a new one!) to school and have, once again, a routine to follow and some new friends that make this transition smooth and enjoyable… They have started even afternoon activities and Kayaking in the sea is a cool discovery!!!
My husband is back to work, too and the fact that the office is just few minutes away from home and that we have lunch together one day yes, and day no, well this is quite good too!!!
Margot is doing what cats always do : not much, apart sleeping a huge amounts of hours every day!!! ;oD
As you can see from my latest posts, I'm doing the tourist in the meantime : so many things to discover here and in the surroundings …. my agenda is busy and every day I add something more to do, while ticking off what I was allowed to do (the museu nacional de art and the museu de la revolucao are closed for renovation…I discovered all that while in front of closed doors of both museums!) ….
…. and having enough of the stripes, I decided to start a different pattern on one side of my colourful piece of fabric : one row made of single crochet stitches, followed by one row of classic filet….
…. well, it was about time to relax and enjoy life, right ?
Have a wonderful weekend, xxxx Alessandra

Oh yes - relaxing sounds like a good thing for you to do. When your stuff gets there you will be busy as a bee putting everything away and organizing. Enjoy your quiet time. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Debi !! Wise words, yours!!!
Deletexxxxxx Ale
That sounds like freeform. That is letting your crochet hook take over! In my opinion that is surely the most relaxing and therapeutic form of crochet . It is obviously what you need for the moment so enjoy!!!

I don't know how big it is, your crochet work, but it could be a place mat or table mat:)) The colors are great and cheerful. Do you have a table already?? because you wrote....waiting for your stuf :)) Enjoy your days, and your new routine and stay relaxed!!! :)) byebye Francien
ReplyDeleteHi Francien! Oh yes, luckily we have a table and some chairs!!! ;oD
DeleteA table mat/runner could be one of the options, I agree with you!
Thank you and have a lovely weekend, xxxx Ale

That is the good thing of crochet. You are free to crochet whenever and whatever you want in your own ritme, with the yarn and colours and stitches you love. Can't get much better I think:) Have a happy weekend in your new home!

Well I have no idea what your crochet fabric will be, but it is beautiful! Perhaps a lovely big squishy cushion with a beautiful cover! It sounds as though you are all doing well at settling in to your new home and getting on with enjoying life, I hope that it keeps going well. xx

ReplyDeleteHi Alessandra - so sorry I've taken so long to welcome you back but so happy you're 'here' again! Sounds like everything is going 'fabby' for you and your family - hurray! I've taken the Summer off myself just to 'be at home' and chill out with the boys :) Love your crochet fabric, so nice to see your colourful work again!
