VENEZIA !!!!

....On Thursday morning, we woke up early because we had to take not one, but 3 trains to reach Venezia!!!
We wanted to show this historical, peculiar and beautiful city to our kids...so we did!!!
It was a very sunny day, with bright blue skies and a nice wind came from the sea.....Wonderful weather for our day stroll!!!
No cars, no motor cycles or bikes are allowed in the city!! Traffic jams are only in the narrow canals between gondolas and/or motorboats!!! Luckily you can skip them just walking on a bridge!!! ;oD
Matteo and Tobia were so amazed by Venezia and I was so happy they loved it!!!
You are going to be submerged by tons of pics.....!!!!! Ready? Enjoy Venezia!!!



















































.....I think to give you a break right now!!! Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, rest and.....
....see you tomorrow with the last photos of Venezia!!!

    Viva Venezia! You captured its spirit well Ale! :) Makes me want to go there too :p Glad to know that Tobia and Mattheau are enjoying their Summer break. Mateen says "Hi!" to Tobia and misses his good nature and humour.

    Cheers!

    Beautiful!!
    I'm sure you had a great time!

    When I was 18, I went on a school trip to Italy and Venice was our first stop. My boyfriend of two months who was one of my classmates was there too. We're married now (10 years later) and we were talking about this trip earlier today.

    Loved this post!

    Oh my God, Venice is my favourite, because we have spent our honeymoon there two years ago. We were there just in time: there was Biennale, film festival and watched the Regata Storica. I loved being there!

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
