Emmy Bo, who is playing with her Pet Shops to the left outside this photo (that is where the REAL mess appears... believe me you don't want to see THAT...) turns around and wonders: "Mama, why are you sitting on the floor staring at your blankets?" Because it makes me happy. That is why a mother of three in the age of 40+ sits on the floor and takes pictures of a bunch of home made quilts and crochet blankets... Happy is the word of the day. And anyone non crafty would probably think I am ready to check in to a madhouse... But not you, right? You totally are with me on this one, aren't you?
Kärlek
Annette
Addition to post: Ha ha ha! I love you all! I had such a blast reading all the comments on this post. Thank you darlings. I guess I touched a soft spot! ♥ ♥ ♥
PS. I am replying directly to your posts now a days. Annette ♥ ♥ ♥
Absolutely, totally with you - a very happy pile of creativity indeed :)
ReplyDeleteyes,I'm totaly agree with you.xox,zohreh
ReplyDeleteYup! Totally with you on this one. I just love drinking in all the colours of crochet goodness too and have new plans when I put all the Christmas stuff away this coming weekend!
ReplyDeleteNot in the slightest be mad, I'd do the same......then again most of those who know me think I'm loopy! Enjoy those wonderful blankets! :) x
ReplyDeleteYou are not crazy! I can relate to your feeling :-)
ReplyDeleteTotally........what a beautiful pile of crafted loveliness.
ReplyDeleteLittlest Pet Shops all over the place here too. Love your Gypsy blanket. I am getting closer to finishing my daughters Wool Eater but it is so hot and humid here at the moment, not conducive to crochet at all.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with you, yes ! I'm full of happiness when I see my boys wrapped in their blankets, when I see my pillows on the chairs or sofa... These colors make my happy. A simple joy, no ?
ReplyDeleteConcordo.
ReplyDeleteÉ pura felicidade olhar para aquilo que nos dá prazer.
Um Beijo

I so am! My 13 year old thinks I am completely mad when I take photos of my creations. However I never shout at my blankets, I always smile, so why not take time out to reflect on them. Take care. Chelx
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha! I never shout at my blankets either! THAT would look kind of nuts wouldn't it?
DeleteAnnette ♥♥♥
Jag förstår precis vad du menar.
ReplyDeleteHoppas du får många Aaaahhhh under året.
God fortsättning.
Kram
Tjing Wivi!
DeleteJag ska samla på mig så många Aaaaahhh som det bara går varenda dag framöver. :D
Kram

I am so with you. I would have to do the same thing. And I consider myself really lucky to be made happy so easily. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYes! There is nothing quite so lovely as a pile of handmade blankets! :)
ReplyDeleteYep, I do understand you....!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely picture!
Nope, this is all very normal in my household!
ReplyDeleteI am happy too

Says one Cuckoo nest intern to another! ;) Twink. Ha ha ha!
DeleteAnnette ♥♥♥
All the way Annette, they are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteHola Annette,feliz año !!!La persona sabia encuentra felicidad en las cosas simples de la vida,y que mas hermoso que ser feliz?
ReplyDeleteFelicitaciones por todos tus trabajos!!
Un cariño,Dios te bendiga
Of course :-)
ReplyDeleteI am so with you Annette! And my pile isn't nearly as large as yours... yet *grin* But boy oh boy - is that pile going to grow in 2013!
ReplyDeleteTotally with you! I like to cuddle and fold and unfold my handmade blanket. I have only recently started to crochet and have given two big blankets as gifts so currently I only have one to enjoy but I am so pleased with it that it makes me smile just to look at it. The mad people are those who don't see beauty in every day things. xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Lily,
DeleteI will happily steel that line from you:
"The mad people are those who don't see beauty in every day things."
So, I am not nuts after all. Phew!
Annette ♥♥♥
Yes, admiring wonderful hand-made blankets and quilts is just slightly more exhilarating than digging through a box of soft, colorful yarn! Nothing strange about that!!!
ReplyDeleteI am totally into this one. Sometimes I just go sit by all my yarn, it makes me happy and calms me down, it opens the world of possibilities up. Ah yarn + blankets = Happy.
ReplyDeleteMeredith
Pfff, that fact that you even ask if I agree with you! Ha! Only I don't have kids that look at me liks I am a loon, though my husband takes that task quite seriously ;-)
ReplyDeleteEsther.
Ha ha ha! I think I am actually more bothered by my husbands raising eye brows than my kids innocent comments when it happens. At least they know this is Mama's happy play while the husband thinks his wife has gone completely nuts and might wonder why on earth he married this woman. :D
DeleteAnnette ♥♥♥
Haha that totally makes sense to me and I do that kind of thing often, after cleaning or something. I stop for a moment and smile and feel happy. My husband just gets it now but I always think most people would probably think I'm nuts. It's so lovely in this bloggy world to find that there are other people like you. Maybe we are nuts but then maybe it's the rest of the world and not us!!
ReplyDeletehihihi..myślę,że aby nie zwariować to właśnie takie chwile są nam potrzebne:))))a kolory dodaja tylko szczęścia:))
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of the crocheted blankets and quilts, nothing say love than that.
ReplyDeleteYour loopy, but in a really nice kind of way. Love what you do.
ReplyDeleteWhat not to be happy about gazing at that pile of colourfulness that you've created? With you all the way!!Such satisfaction!
ReplyDeletehappy new year Annette!!!
with you indeed. fabric and wool mess is the only mess I actually like having in the house! If my husband had an equally messy hobby it would probably drive me bonkers!
ReplyDeleteSo with you. I love these moments too!
