Yarn Along valentines

I'm still not much far into my scarf that I've unravelled, cast some stitches, unravelled again and now it as 40 stitches casted on waiting.

But look what I have! I'm kind of proud of myself. Is that silly?
I saw the tutorial/pattern, and decided I had to try it.
But, I'm very new to crochet and only knew the single crochet... and this pattern calls for lots of kind of crochet... So I've googled them... and I'm sharing with you. That way I will always have the reference here, for myself!

Hope it helps some of you!

I didn't tried the one Ginny is doing yet. That one was kind of more friendly to me because you crochet in round, like I did with my wig caps.

So I'd like to make tons now, but only have enough red left for one or two smalls... Oh well!

This yarn along made me realized how little I read this month. I usually have 2-3 books started at the same time and now I have none... But I read a lot of children book. I had to buy this one off internet, since it does not exits here, I've never seen it translated...

I wish every one a Blessed Imbolc (Candlemas) !

a lovely garland

Did you see GardenMama's latest post? Really cute. The perfect project to keep Mariann off of Papa's homework zone.



She's always thrilled when I get the paint out.
In order to keep it Valentine-y, I only got out the red and white.
Then we painted whole sheet of watercolour paper.



And she kept painting while I cut some hearts.
When I proposed her the glue stick and shown her what to do with it, she shacked with joy. 2yr olds are like that.



She had to make them smile :)

So it's the first time I decorate for valentine's day...It's pretty, isn't it?

for fun, and because I haven't done so a while, I'm linking to the DIY show-offs.
