The two granny square cushions I had been working on are finally complete now. I named them chocolate granny cushions but I also smell coffee when I look at them so you can also call them coffee cushions if you want to.

These are going to be a gift for an aunt and the color combination was specially requested. They are my best cushions so far. It was so much fun to make them except that not-very-fun-part of running out of the yarn thrice but I got the same color which is quite unusual. So this project has practically taught me that buying extra yarn is very important even if you are sure you are not going to need more.

I got these sooper matching buttons for these cushions. Nice & matching buttons always add that special flick to your cushion projects so always spend some time to get the best ones.

The other thing I wanted to share with you all are my yum yum candy pillows which had been my best pals during this Summer. I have this nasty backache problem so I cannot imagine to sit & crochet without them.

I crocheted the ties by mixing two shades of pink. They look so lovely & pretty and yes I love to play with them !

A few more cushion shows are coming soon and in the next post I will (hopefully) show you my Starling Handbag; one of the crochet projects I wanted to do since forever ;)

Its quite unusual for me to feel lazy during the weekend. I'm mostly filled with lots of energy during my weekends. I usually work on my to-do-list on Friday night and then I'd just go crazy to chase down the tasks I had lain down for me.

But there are times when you need a break but that should also be planned otherwise you keep feeling guilty that you didn't do anything and I'm exactly in that kind of situation right now. This break was so unplanned and I couldn't even relaize it was a break & I'm supposed to feel relaxed !

I had finished some crochet & other projects during my blog break (which was also unplanned). So I thought I'd share them today.

Remember those cute granny squares I was working on way back in February ? Well they finally got turned into a cushion and I can proudly say I already have my first ever granny squares cushion!

My little cakey boy sitting with the granny!

I sewed up a envelope cushion and attached the granny bit on the front. This idea actually given to me by Alice (aka futuregirl, thanks Alice!). I machine sewed the granny part to the cushion cover as I didn't have any further patience to hand sew it. My machine was in a good mood that day and so did a nice job.

Oh and it just occurred to me I should have photographed the back of the cushion also!

Another project which really made me feel proud was rescuing this chair from our junk room. It was ready to be thrown away by my brother but I took hold of it. I painted it black & then reupholstered it with this cute cotton fabric.

I've recently added a support bar on the chair. I'm waiting for my new cushion to be ready and thats going to find home on this chair. Its my official sewing chair now!

I feel so proud about this chair. I feel so flattered when guests say "hey you painted it yourself and you also put the fabric ?"..... and I very proudly say yes I did it all!! You know it gives you such a nice sense of gain when you take something out of your junk room and make it pretty enough to give it place in your room..!

Oh I can't believe it I managed to write this whole post. I was feeling so deadfully lazy & tired. But I did it...!

Hopefully I will be back soon to share more things here...

I made a (almost) cushion !

Well well I can now join my sqaures as I go.. And I must say its quite enjoyable to join/make your squares this way. I've also noticed it workes up quite quickly.

Can you see that last square is missing ? oh yes one last square needs to be joined and then I will start convincing myself to sew up these tons of tails. I wish I had a little sister or friend around who could sew up these tails for me, provided they didn't hate to do it as much as I do. But I guess it would be easier for me to convince them than to convince myself for this boring, boring & boring task...!

I can't stop loving my new yarn colors, I almost want to eat them! During this heat around, they look like scoops of colorful ice-cream to me. Oh I love you soo much my sweet sweet new yarn! They make me happy all day when I see them, they keep me inspired during all day, they invite me to make something beautiful with them, they invite me to play with them... I think they are my new freinds..... hellow my new friends, thank you to make me feel so happy everyday !

I'm wondering what is making you happy these days to keep the heat away & to bring the joy around ????
