I have to apologize for my very long absence on blogger. I can hardly beleive it's been almost a year since i came here. There is no reasons, really. Many things happened in my life, personnal problems i do not want to mention here. I had some difficult times and blogging just seem to be too much energy for me. </div>

I still have my <a href="http://blueberryfields.etsy.com/">etsy shop</a> and it is keeping me quite busy. A year and a half ago, i was ill and during my recovery, i took to knitting socks and knitting became my full time job. I have knitted so many socks for customers and i am still quite busy with orders. I have created socks using many leftover sock yarns and my Happy Socks were born. They became so popular that for many months, i did not have any free time to do anything else.<br />
<br />

<br />
Each of my Happy socks are one of a kind, not one will be the same and that is what makes them so unique. They became so popular that i decided i could make fingerless gloves using the same happy sock yarns. I even knitted a pair of Happy legwarmers for a dear lady and she adored them. Knitting really took over my life and so many ideas are flowing. If any of you wish to own a pair of socks or mittens or legwarmers, do not hesitate to let me know. But you have to be aware that these take time, so i am hoping you will be patient.<br />

Summer is already more than halfway gone. I am feeling a bit sad, knowing there is little time before we will have to get the woolens out again. I am a summer girl, i am just loving to sit in the shade with my crochet or knitting, listening to the little chirping birds, going for long bike rides in the countryside, walking barefoot, swimming in the pool, eating ice cream with my little boys...What joy all of these moments bring me. Lately, I have spent most of my time gardening, enjoying the good weather whenever possible ( god knows it was a rare thing this year ) doing some knitting, crochet and sewing for my shop and also for my own pleasure. Simple things that makes me most happy.<br />

My seeds are afraid to peek out, because the sun is barely never here. I am aware it has been like that in many parts of the world, so i must cheer up and hope for warmer days ahead. I am not one to sigh and complain when mother nature is being finicky, instead, i keep my little hands busy and that makes me most happy.</span><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ai4iWTCB1nc/UbDPrFvZ0rI/AAAAAAAABeo/-hSMcdFeYqM/s640/knitting+026.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
When i was recovering from my surgery this past winter, i made myself a wonderfully soft ripple blanket. A <a href="http://scentedsweetpeas.blogspot.com/">dear friend</a> of mine made one too and calls it her comfort blanket. This picture you see here is not the one. Shame on me, must not forget to show you next time. This one here is being listed in <a href="http://blueberryfields.etsy.com/">my shop</a>. Rippling can get so addictive. So much so that as soon as i finished my first ripple blanket, i made another one. It is a bit smaller, but so colorfull and comfy. I am actually making another one that i will keep for myself ( i am very sellfish you see ) and take it with me when we go sailing or when i need to cuddle up when we make campfires on summer nights. <br />

Crochet and knitting is usually reserved for evenings while watching TV and during the day, when it is cold and raining ( like today ) i love to sew and make new projects for my shop. Yesterday ( another cold and grey day ) i decided to go through my fabric scrap basket, wondering what new pretties i could do. In the past, i made many little fabric houses and they are so fun to make. So i started making one and another and another and the day went on and i realized i had been very productive. Seven sweet little fabric houses are now listed in my shop. And to make them even more special, i filled each little houses with a couple teaspoon of dried lavender. Not only do they look pretty, but they smell heavenly. <br />

This is also a tote i made for my shop. The fabric is a heavy canvas and so beautiful Do take a peek in my shop if you wish to see more. I have spent most of the day sewing, stuffing my fabric houses, taking picture and listing them. I have been so busy that i forgot to feed my belly...Who is making strange noise at this time. So a little break ( tea and a sandwich ) is well deserved i would say...and maybe some crochet ? <br />

Our winter season was very long this year. We had so much snow, i thought i would never see the end of it. We had a last snowfall in April and it was hard on everyone's spirits. I tried to keep mine in a postive way, doing more knitting and crochet. It always brings me so much peace of mind, happiness and comfort. While i was recovering from my surgery, i spent many hours sitting by the window, keeping my little hands busy, looking out and dreaming of better days.<br />

A month later, all the snow is gone, the grass is lush and green, the flowers are growing rapidly, little birds are busy making new babies and the air is warm and smells so good. We had an unusual very warm weather for the past week and i felt really happy to spend some time outdoors, gardening, knitting in the shade and even swim in the pool ! Here, in my northern country, it is still early spring, but it feels like summer. <br />

I am feeling happy and have almost fully recovered from my surgery. I started being more active, being able to garden, swim and go for bicycle rides. Spring and summer are such beautiful season and being so short in my country, we have to savor every bit of it. <br />

My head is full of happy projects and i thought i better make a list, because i will not know where to begin. I have lots of ideas to realize for my shop and this compelling desire to make crochet blankets. I have seen so many beautiful patterns on pinterest. ( see my board on crochet ) It is really difficult to decide what pattern i will choose as my summer project. I have done 2 ripple blankets so far this past winter. The one you see here is being listed in <a href="http://blueberryfields.etsy.cm/">my shop</a>, although i must admit it was really hard to part with it. It is so soft, comfy and colorful ! My daughter said it would be the perfect blanket for a little princess. :-) Ok now....My main purpose for coming here was to finally announce the winner of my giveaway. Of course, i love to come say hello and give you all some fresh news, something i should have done a long time ago. I am a bad blogger, i say it all the time. But then, as a dear friend of mine told me the other day " life takes over ". So to make amends, i decided to give two separate surprises. The first one being the " grand prize " and the second prize will be a little something i will send as a real surprise. The winner will see her gift only as she opense her parcel :-).................ok, so the first prize goes to ? <br />

This morning, as i woke up, made coffee and lit a fire to warm up the house, i peeked outside, hoping today would be sunny. To my delight, i heard the sound of spring birds chirping happily. At last, spring is really on it's way ! We do have a lot of snow left on the ground, but it is melting very quickly and we can see some tiny patches of grass ! What joy ! Winter was long, but we must not complain. For all of us who enjoy going out and play, it was the perfect winter. But now that it is almost over and that spring is all around us, we are all happy to greet the new season.<br />
Before i go on, i would like to thank all of you, my dear and sweet readers, who were so kind to leave wonderful and cheerful comments on my last post. I am really sorry if i have neglected responding, but soon i will take the time to visit and say hello. I am feeling much better everyday. My scar is healing very well and i can go about and do little chores such as cooking and do the laundry. I have spent many hours resting, knitting and doing some crochet. I will show my new socks and ripple blanket a bit later. I love my happy socks and beautiful ripple blanket ♥<br />

But for now, what i want to show you is this. A gift, a giveaway for all who wishes to enter. This is giveaway to celebrate a new beginning for me and to welcome the wonderful Spring season. What better way to welcome spring with a pretty colorful and cheerful crochet bunting ! I also made for you this lovely crochet potholder. If you are like me, if you like a little burst of happy colors, this is the perfect gift for you. All you need to do is leave a comment on my blog. If you link this giveaway on your blog or Facebook page, let me know and your chances of winning will double. I will announce the winner in a couple weeks.<br />
Til then, happy spring season ! xoxo ♥</div>

<br />
I seem to apologize each time i decide to write a new post. My blog is being neglected, i know and there isn't much i can say about that. 2012 was a difficult time for my family and now, with the New Year, i was hoping things would get better. My husband is finally able to work, although his back is not entirely healed. Sadly for him, he lost his mom on January 28th. She had been sick for many years and things got worst in the fall. It is a sad lost, but she no longer suffers and we try to keep good memories of her. She will be forever in our hearts.<br />
Last november, i went for a biopsy ( dunno if this is the right word in english ) on my uterus. My gynecologist called me after the christmas holidays, urging me to come see her at once. I had this little scary feeling something was wrong. She told me i had cancer cells in my uterus, that i needed surgery. They would take the whole uterus out of my body... I cried and panicked. The first week, i just kept shivering and could not find sleep...I was devastated by such horrible news...To make the story short, i met with the gynecologist who is going to take care of me and felt reassured. My surgery will be on the 13th of this month. I was told this cancer is easily treated...I don't know what else to say...I guess i just needed to let people know why i am neglecting my blog. I do hope that once the surgery is done, all will be fine. It will take some time before i get back to a normal life, but i have to be positive. I know i can beat this thing...i am surrounded with so much love, i feel blessed....<br />
Will keep you posted.... xoxo</div>

Oh my....Is it just me or time is flying by too fast ? I know this is not the first time i am saying this, but i feel really bad to see how i am neglecting my blog and my dear friend readers. My husband has been home for 6 months now and i do not beleive he will be back to work before the christmas holidays. He's been seeing so many specialist, doctors, ect., but i cannot say he is feeling better. His back improved a tiny bit, but he still feels pain. I feel helpless, wish i could do magic and heal his health issues. But all i can offer him is love and support.<br />
His days gets a little more boring as the weather here is getting colder. Too cold to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air . So he spends many hours surfing on the web, leaving me with not much time to come here and blog. The little time i can get my hands on the computer are spent on my etsy and promoting on Facebook.<br />
<br />
I do miss visiting you all and hope to get the chance to come say hello sometime soon in the near future. Now i must get back to my knitting. Christmas is not that far away, so lots of kniting to do. Homemade gifts are the best ! <br />

I first announce my giveaway on June 12th, i did not realize it was so long ago ! So so sorry to make you wait for such a long time. I had not forgotten, just had such a wierd kind of summer. So many things i wanted to do, so many projects i had to put behind. As i said in a former post, hubby is home with a back problem and i did not get much free time for myself. Not because i have to take care of him, he can go about and do little things, but having him around is like having a little boy. He wants me to be with him almost constantly. I cannot really complain as i like spending time with him, but i do miss creating as much as i would like to... I think i am repeating myself, so let's just forget about hubby.<br />
I know, dearest readers, that you already looked at the winner's name, but let's do the official announcement. The winner of my little giveaway is ...<a href="http://wasabihoneybee.blogspot.com/">wasabi honey bee</a>.<br />
Congrats to the lucky winner! Mariica, i will contact you so you can give me your postal adress. Thank you again to all of you who entered my giveaway.<br />

I need to let you all konw i have not forgotten about you and as soon as i can, i will announce the winner of my giveaway. Hubby stopped working on June 27th because of severe back problems and i do not think he will be back to work until september. He can move around and do little house chores, but being a linemen, he cannot work, it is too physical. Hubby is being treated and i am hopeful he will feel better soon. It saddens me to see him like that, but there isn't much i can do, except giving him support and love.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N35lb42Eqzo/UBKdxkarpAI/AAAAAAAABZM/rXr8MYKWfRc/s1600/janvier+2012+1300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N35lb42Eqzo/UBKdxkarpAI/AAAAAAAABZM/rXr8MYKWfRc/s400/janvier+2012+1300.jpg" width="382" /></a></div> Having my man home full time doesn't leave me much free time to escape in my studio and create as much as i would love to. I managed to do a few things, but my fingers are itiching badly to do more. We do go sailing sometimes and while we are there for a couple days, i bring some knitting or crochet, so i do not miss home too much. Spending more time with hubby is quality time and i must make the most of it. We do get along so well, so it is nice having him with me. I just miss being all by myself once in a while. I am a big loner.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6Zfu8878h_4/UBKd6KPBRUI/AAAAAAAABZY/gwRWz1eJ91c/s1600/janvier+2012+1372.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6Zfu8878h_4/UBKd6KPBRUI/AAAAAAAABZY/gwRWz1eJ91c/s400/janvier+2012+1372.jpg" width="300" /></a></div> The summer season here is simply beautiful! It has been very hot and sunny for a whole month. No rain. The grass suffered badly and we are not allowed to water our plants everyday. But they manage and grow beautifully. My sunflowers are happy with the weather. And we do spend a lot of time swimming and having fun in the pool. Summer is such a short season here, we have to be thankful with this abundance of sun and hot weather. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R4EKze024b8/UBKeFImPTCI/AAAAAAAABZg/Gk-C6jQKXLM/s1600/janvier+2012+1407.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R4EKze024b8/UBKeFImPTCI/AAAAAAAABZg/Gk-C6jQKXLM/s400/janvier+2012+1407.jpg" width="311" /></a></div>I do hope your summer is wonderful too and that you are enjoying every moment. I will come next week and announce the winner of my giveaway. And so that you all forgive me for taking so long, i will include a little extra surprise<br />

Many hours have been spent outdoors, gardening and cleaning flower beds and many more hours were spent sewing happily in my studio. I love these moments when my inspiration is full to the brim. I keep scribbling new ideas on bits of paper, reminding myself over and over again that i must get a little notebook to keep all my ideas neatly written at the same place. These are just a few pictures of some new items you will find in <a href="http://blueberryfields.etsy.com/">my shop</a> Do feel free to visit and see little treasures you may want for yourself. If you wish to buy something in my shop this week end, i will give you a 10% discount. All you need to do is use coupn code JUNE10 at checkout. Don't you love this wonderful teapot cozy ? it was made out of linen and a gorgeous " tea time " tape made by the lovely<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lillalotta?ref=seller_info"> Anna Barrow of Lillalotta</a> was stittched upon the front. I just love this colorful cheery tape.<br />
Please, keep your eyes open... I am thinking of making a new giveaway soon.<br />

That way, i could accomplish maybe half of all the things i wish to do... These are a few of the things i did lately and that you can find in my <a href="http://blueberryfields.etsy.com/">shop</a>...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MnWB055jyJA/T7VUulPsuVI/AAAAAAAABXQ/sV5PB1psIXc/s1600/janvier+2012+679.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MnWB055jyJA/T7VUulPsuVI/AAAAAAAABXQ/sV5PB1psIXc/s400/janvier+2012+679.jpg" width="367" /></a></div> Summer totes made with a mix of old and new fabrics...What i mean by old is vintage bed linens. I love creating things with vintage fabrics. It gives them a new life, which, to my point of view, is a good way to recycle.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aS9N4HFXTks/T7VVBZ3JwxI/AAAAAAAABXY/iWRUn06l3as/s1600/janvier+2012+707.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aS9N4HFXTks/T7VVBZ3JwxI/AAAAAAAABXY/iWRUn06l3as/s400/janvier+2012+707.jpg" width="397" /></a></div> A granny shawl, i crocheted in April while watching TV by hubby's side. He loves when i sit with him. :-)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Irs_dcwSjQo/T7VVI7VrtII/AAAAAAAABXg/t2GMNlbyvmc/s1600/janvier+2012+932.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Irs_dcwSjQo/T7VVI7VrtII/AAAAAAAABXg/t2GMNlbyvmc/s400/janvier+2012+932.jpg" width="282" /></a></div> I bought some gorgeous fabric recently and made some drawstring bags. They are really lovely and practical, but most of all, it adds a gentle feminine touch to a home decor. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bvxUl8DD2Z8/T7VVNUU9Z4I/AAAAAAAABXo/3zLC4RXaF7E/s1600/janvier+2012+952.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bvxUl8DD2Z8/T7VVNUU9Z4I/AAAAAAAABXo/3zLC4RXaF7E/s400/janvier+2012+952.jpg" width="300" /></a></div> And finally...Little Miss Ema Muffinpie. She is the first of my new summer collection. More will come shortly.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-12h_yeDWVI8/T7VVQz5u8wI/AAAAAAAABXw/jyDsmKpUE8g/s1600/janvier+2012+986.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-12h_yeDWVI8/T7VVQz5u8wI/AAAAAAAABXw/jyDsmKpUE8g/s400/janvier+2012+986.jpg" width="282" /></a></div>Hope you enjoyed looking. If your ♥ is melting for something, just click on my shop link.<br />
Ok now, off to fix supper before hubby comes back from work... Spaguethi with garlic bread tonight. ( yes Anna, copied you on the garlic bread ) May be not as good as <a href="https://www.facebook.com/anna.barrowboekweg">Anna's </a>or should i say her hubby's fabulous macaroni à la fromage, but delicious nevertheless. :-) <br />

Hubby snored happily almost all night long, with crescendos so high, that could shake the whole house. Anyways, i will not venture into more details about his snoring habit. I had to come here this morning to tell you i had a wonderful message waiting for me on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Blueberryfields/308310976301?ref=tn_tnmn">facebook page </a><br />
<a href="http://www.maryjanestearoom.com/">Mary Jane's tea room</a> created a gorgeous giveaway and i decided i to enter, thinking, hopefully i would win....And i did !

Many times i wanted to come and post, but the inspiration was not there. Of course, this is no excuse, i am well aware i have been neglecting my blog ( did i say that before ? ) ...Everyday, when i wake up, i tell myself, ! ok, i today i will sit and post something and show some pretty pictures. "... and the day goes by and another and i still no post...Now the clock is ticking, reminding me i have an appointment with a physiotherapist, so my post will be short. Argh! i hate this, but i have no choice and get that therapy done with. i hurt my arm in January and the pain is still there. With the therapy, i am hoping it will help the healing process. I really needed to come and say hello to all my lovely likers who always take the time to leave a sweet comment. <br />

On this cold grey spring day, all i need this afternoon is a nice cup of Earl Grey and working on my granny blanket. I haven't been much around, i admit, ( blushing sheepishly )but will come be back soon.

I am longing for spring. It is in my mind day and night. Already planning my herb and vegetable garden...Well, in my head only.. Shall i remind you that i live in a north country and gardening will only start in May. And if we are lucky, we will get to see some early sprouts end on April, such as chives. Last fall, i planted many tulip bulbs and i am really excited to see how it is going to turn out. I just hope some of them were not eaten by some little moles. We have seen little mounds of soil close enough to one of my tulip's bed , so i am feeling a bit worried. those little mounds are signs of moles. <br />
In the meantime, to keep my mind busy, while i wait for spring to knock on my door, i have been sorting some lovely fabric and made several lavender sachets. I just listed them in my shop, so if lavender makes you lose your mind, you can go and check. ^_^ <br />
Tomorrow, i am starting to work on new Muffinpies. I have a special one to make for my giveaway winner. I feel a little guilty as i kept postponing doing this doll, but i really had to finish off some custom orders.<br />
Now,, i am off to get lunch, have been working all morning and my stomach is sending me desperate signs.<br />

That is the usual winter that we have. Although, i must say that february has been somewhat mild. Much milder than usual. And we do not have that much snow either. Maybe Mother Nature is playing games with us, maybe we will end up having another big snow storm before the end of winter. We are used to having such surprises. </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">For the past week, my fingers have been feeling itchy for doing some spring themed projects. I want to make some cheery curtains for my studio, i want to make some summer flowery totes and romantic scarves in spring colors. </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">I just did a bit of a clean up in <a href="http://blueberryfields.etsy.com/">my shop </a> I am having a big winter sale. Just click on the link and look for the" winter sale " section .</span><br />

Personnal matters i am trying to put behind, but i have to admit it is not as easy as i would hope it to be. I am slowly turning the page, i hate feeling sorry for myself and i am finding comfort with the love of my daughters, dearest hubby and my work. I feel privileged to be self-employed even if it means hard work and having to deal with the up and downs of a tight budget.<br />

This morning i went to the post office to pick up the mail and ship out some orders i sold from my <a href="http://blueberryfields.etsy.com/">shop </a>And guess what i found, waiting for me in the box ??!! The new issue of Art Doll Quarterly !!! I got a free copy because my little Muffinpies are being featured ! I was eager to get back home and see how my page looked like. I am really happy, but especially proud, as my daughter <a href="http://mademoiselleg.etsy.com/">Geneviève </a>is also being featured ! <br />
Now isn't that wonderful ? having the chance to be featured in a magazine along with my daughter really added a balm of happiness to my poor little sore ♥<br />
I have several Muffinpies waiting to be adopted in my shop if you wish to have one now and in a couple weeks, i intend to create a new batch and make one for my little Noodle winner ! ^_^<br />
If you wish to have a custom order, feel free to convo me. I will ba happy to make a special one just for you. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Enjoy your week all ♥</span></div>blueberries in the fieldshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18416599702135062742noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989895806715073084.post-37750286511200512062012-01-24T05:44:00.000-08:002012-01-24T05:46:28.186-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Many apologies for taking so long to announce a winner of my muffinpie giveaway. I have many knitting custom orders and spend my days knitting like crazy. Yesterday, i had another customer contacting me for a pair of mittens. So far i have to make 4 or 5 pairs, one slouch hat ( had to make 4 ) one beret, one headband, one cup cozy...think that's it . Not that it makes me unhappy, i love knitting.<br />
