Yes, It's starting to look a lot like ripples

Call me crazy, but I have yet started another project.

My sister H have kindly bought me some cotton yarn which has some lovely colors and I could not ... yes, I could not keep myself from starting a ripple lap blanket for my own self. 

Yes just for me , myself, and I :)

Like many other knitters and crocheters I do not make a lot for myself.

I'm always making a birthday present or something for my kids, my husband and my family. 

So... this one is going to be for me. :) 

 I think if I do one row everyday I'll finish it in about 3 months, which will be the end of Summer and beginning of Fall, just perfect time for the cold weather to start again.

The yarn is 100% cotton and is going to be soft and cozy...

Can't wait to wrap myself in this cosy, warm blanket :)

This are some of the colors I have chosen...

I have another 6 colors and will show it to you as I keep going.

I'm so excited to finally make a blanket for myself!!!

Before I go just wanted to show you an idea I had last week...

You know how we are always loosing our Knitting and crochet needles?

Last week I found a way to mark all knitting needles so now when I let somebody borrow it they know that is my needles ( and so do I) :)

Here it is ...

I love purple, so I painted the ends of the needles with a craft acrylic paint and than painted another coat with a shiny purple nail polish (yes, nail polish :))... it's a bit bright, but it looks pretty and now I know my needles... :) Fun!

Well, I should go and start on my (at least) one row of my ripple blanket if I want to wrap myself around it soon ... after all today is Friday again and I feel so fortunate to have a whole weekend ahead of me! 

See you soon. Tchau:)

TGIF - Thank God is Friday:)

I had a wonderful, restful weekend last week. It was a long 5 days weekend for me so having to go back to work was very tiring... but I found some time to do a bit of my crochet...relax and enjoy...

I finished another water bottle (this time for my daughter) and I think I like the color combination on this one even better than the one I made for myself...

what do you think?

I also finished these coasters which I'm very excited to use on our outside table when the weather starts being nice again... we had a very beautiful tease on mother's day and we all thought it was going to be warmer, but then it went back to rainy and grey again.

I am happy that I finished it though because as soon as we get a sunny day I'll put it on our table in our back yard...

I just love it...

and can't wait to use them in a sunny day...

I had a long week (although it was only actually 4 work days), but sometimes if you have a chance to relax a bit more it's hard to get back on the swing of things... so I'm so very glad today is Friday and I have a weekend to look forward to.
I'll be back soon and hope you come back to visit again. Tchau:)
