A lot of pics from a short holiday!!!!

Last week, we booked a lovely room at a B&B (more details in a further post!!!) in Fenis, a little village in a northern region in Italy, called Valle d'Aosta.
Amazing mountains, scenarios, richness of fresh water, sunny days, castles and a lot more!!!
We arrived in Fenis in the morning (around 11 o'clock), where we jumped off the car to visit a beautiful castle...
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the beauty and the magnificence of the castle and its surroundings....!!!




























right after the visit to the castle was finished, we decided to stop in a nearby playground with a well organized picnic area....We had yummy sandwiches stuffed with speck and brie and I enjoyed my after lunch time just looking at my boys playing so well together.....happiness is very simple....

See you soon, xxxx

    Hi dear Alessandra, Thank you for sharing your very nice photos of your short holiday.. This is very good for me because you know I like historical places and also countries history so so much.. I read so much about countries history but seeing the pictures of places is more important than reading.. Sorry for my poor english, I hope you understand me.. I like old vintage castles so much.. But I never see a castle in Turkey.. When I went to Poland I saw an old castle but I want to visit some countires expecially Italy after this November.
    Thank you very much again..
    Happy Summer days with your sweet family..
    All blessings...

    How wonderful!!! My sort of day out!!!
    what wonderful photographs too and in your latest post-amazing!
    This is what a fairytale castle should look like to me....I'd get lost here ...for a while and then a nice cuppa tea would be just right.

    fab holiday!

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 Indonesia but I al

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 strai

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 single crochet
