What's new on my working table!


... A brand new owl : Miss Owllure! As the other owls of my nest, she is a gift for a friend of mine and she already left my home!!


She is different from Miss Owlette and Miss Owloween for just one thing.... Infact, there is no cage dangling from her claws, but a clock! I think it's good, anyway! I didn't have any more cages in my drawer...Just some bycicles, the Eiffel Tower, some butterflies and some flowers....I thought the clock had a good chance to have a perfect fit with my owl!


I'm in love with these fish! What do you think? I'm so excited about the velvety effect! Look how different they are even from this one



This one is amazing, too, but it's not so warm, so brilliantly colourful....!!! Well, i'm so happy with the new version!



New handknitted bracelets! They didn't take a long time to knit : it was much longer the customizing time, oh yes! The result is attractive and I hope that tomorrow at the bazaar they will catch some curious customer... we'll see! Another peak? Please, take one more look!



And now all of you : CHEESE!!!! I've taken a group pic :



I love all this coulours together!! They make me feel so thrilled and chirpy!!!!

What to do with the felt spirals, instead?



Well, some ideas popped in my head....like this one :



Earrings! They are so so light, that you can forget about them all day long, while wearing them!

...And a new necklace! Just add some wooden  beads, a bright cord, some ribbons (checkeed; please!) and lovely fabric roses and you will have.....






...A big mess on the table! Infact this is still a WIP, but I think that you did get the idea, right?
Well, now I'm a little bit tired, so I'll leave you for a cup of hot tea, to sip on my pink sofa just for a little while....my boys are back from school, so my day is not finished yet! ; )

See you soon, xxx

Make it ! Knitted triangular scarf !!!

Last December, I saw a very simple and cute scarf knitted by Angie ( le monde de sucrette) and I thought to knit one for me, too, but then I was busy with the gifts to prepare for family and friends back in Italy .... so nothing was done for me!!! Luckily, some days ago, while browsing through my blogs list, I found a post from Ilaria ( IDA interior lifestyle) , who was proposing the same (she added a pompom!) piece of clothing .... I didn't have any excuse to wait longer for knitting my own triangular scarf!!!! ;oD So, I started .... Do you want to start one, too ??? Well, you need : some yarn ! My personal choice was : Lana Grossa Basics Calmo (59% acrylic, 24% cotton and 17% linen), shade 207. All my 4 balls of yarn (50g each) have been used for this project. Then 2 balls (50g each) from Rowan Classic Cotton Jeans Yarn (100% cotton), shade 365-Sierra, for both stripes and tassels! a pair of 4,5mm  knitting circular needles or, if you prefer, a pair of long ...

Make it ! The Granny Yarn Chain !!!

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ???? SURE YOU ARE !!! I now that!!!! ;oD So during this last week I was showing you via Instagram (see  my personal feed ) some colourful pictures about my new crochet w.i.p. , which I completed last night ... ... so this morning, before school/office time a couple of boys helped me with the last photos for this blog post ... TA-DAH ... The beauty of this project resides in the fact that is adaptable to any extent, any kind of yarn and any corner of your home (in or out!) !!! The inspiration and "creative kick" derives from two other projects I've seen around :  The Chain Statement Necklace  by my dear friend Miki from  Set Free My Gypsy Soul  and  Peggy's Comfy Indoors Blanket  by Pip Lincoln from  Meet Me at Mike's  !!! Thank you both, girls !!! It has been a long time since I've been wanting to crochet (or even knit !) a paper chain ... I made some long paper chains for our Christmas tree back in ...

Make it ! The Granny Bunny !!!

You know, this picture from my  Instagram feed  has collected more than 900 likes ... ... and a colourful crocheter named Karin @woolfieber , made her own version just looking at my pic (you can find her work  HERE  ) !!!! My idea, since the beginning , was to prepare a photo tutorial for you, but do you really need one ? These Granny Bunnies are so easy to crochet, believe me !!!! YOU NEED : some colourful mercerised cotton a 3,5 mm hook a pair of scissors a tapestry needle beads for embellishments (optional) Please note that I follow the US crochet terminology, thank you ! Each bunny measures 13 cm in height and it can be used for different purposes : bunting, hanging decorations, appliques, brooches, on napkin rings and more !!!! The sky's the limit !!! You can use this pattern even with different yarns and, consequently, hook sizes !!! ;oD Abbreviations : DC = double crochet ch = chain SC = single crochet 2SCtog = 2...
