home is the word i have in front of my eyes everyday
today home sweet home was :
a sick mom looking after her (even) sick(er) child
a sick mom enjoying a craft table from the couch
a sick mom trying to decide what's for dinner (and that was purple rice)
more home sweet home @ fuoriborgo
and sorry i'll visit you all only this weekend & next week when everybody here feels better. be well !
what are you knitting right now?
ReplyDeletehope you feel better soon.
to answer your question on seed like knitting on my post, it is "kanoko"style knitting. do you know this? i am making a pouch with bottom hole in it. what kind of color is your favorite, valerie?
i noticed lavender in the big jar, it is nice. how do you use it? for cooking?
have a relax day. maybe visiting somewhere for window shopping to refresh air.
ah, what are coincidence about sashiko!!
ReplyDeletei love the combination of red on linen fabric. i would love to see your sashiko pillow..can you take picture?
i am thinking of using it as just kitchen towel when i finish. but i want to do more different pattern with another color for more sashiko..this is so fun.
is there place that you can buy sashiko thing in france?
coco : i'm testing a cowl/snood for a blog friend who sells the pattern on Ravelry. i will google kanoko because no, i've never heard of it, but the pouch in progress looks very pretty.
ReplyDeleteyes i will take a picture of the little sashiko pillow. is yours red ? from the photo it looked pink to me ? mine is pink anyway ! i bought it on Etsy but i think, yes, in some large cities you can find some sashiko supplies, not a wide range but a few.
usually i'm into cold colors like grey, blue, and i love neutrals as well. what about you ?
oh and about lavender, well it is not lavender in this glass jar (alhtough i have some but not in the kitchen) it is organic purple rice -- that we enjoy eating :)
have a lovely day & thank you for the little chat xo
oh it's a lovely place to be...it looks so cosy and peaceful. Get better quick both of you...if I could, I would send you some chicken soup, :)xxx

ps i have been reading your post to me and it made me so happy.Thak you so much.
bon courage... ici aussi, bronchite, otite, rhinite.
ReplyDeleteComme d'habitude, tes photos font rêver. Et ce papier peint arbre. oouh que j'aime. et cette table! ooooouh qu'elle est belle!!
Bises guérisseuses.
i hope you and your girl feel better soon - purple rice sounds like a good medicine! :)
ReplyDeleteyou have a beautiful home, i imagine that when it's all finished it will be a dream place.
Oh Valerie, nice pictures and nice home seems very comfortable and pleasant to be there.
ReplyDeleteI'm often surprised by how strong you are. Home must be a very important thing for you, home and family. I do hope that both of you get better soon.
ReplyDeleteIt seems you're working on a nice project again! To answer on your question: Right know I use a 1,5 hook. The cotton is too thick to go any smaller. I could do it, but I'd stare myself crazy at the stitches. The lowest you can go is 0,6 or 0,8 I think. I'd love to try that once, but I need to get the hang of the 1,5 yarn. I'm surprised how difficult it is at the beginning. I'm glad I know how all the different stitches look like.
Have a lovely start of the weekend, Valerie!
I hope you are feeling better soon. Your home seems warm and inviting, thanks for the peek inside.
ReplyDeleteDana
I like the simple photos---wonderful snippets of your life. That first photo is awesome---I really like the way you have decorated--it's soothing qualities reaches through cyberspace!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are both feeling well soon. I well remember those days of sick and caring for sick young ones, but many special memories came from those times.
this is a perfect post.
ReplyDeletei'm sorry you are not well. i hope you and your little one are feeling 100% better real soon !!

thank you everyone. so relieved L. seems to feel a tiny little better this morning. because when a diabetic can't eat for too long....
ReplyDeletepetit caillou : oh je suis désolée d'entendre ça... de plus en nettoyant ma BAL j'ai trouvé un message de toi non répondu, je m'en excuse parce que j'avais pensé le faire... tu auras du courrier tout bientôt. en attendant meilleure santé à vous, je t'embrasse.
the blue rabbit house : thank you for your support. 1.5 is still ok, I use 1.25 at the moment for a future necklace. at 1.00 it starts being hard on my fingers and I don't own any 0.75 or the smallest 0.5. I'll be curious to know what you think once you have tried these :)
Bonnie : thanks so much. I WILL visit.
VERY cozy images, Valerie... you home is so snug and inviting. :o) Do hope all of you are feeling better soon... We've been very much under the weather here too... ((HUGS))

ReplyDeleteYour home looks really cosy and warm! I especially love those dry branches on the first picture..our home is also full of those kind of decorations:) And that pie on the table..mmm..can I please have a piece of it? :)
I'm sending you all lot's of hugs!
A tiny little better is going to be a lot, lot better. Such calming surroundings....sigh....I spot a Dalahaust in the background. Love them :-)
