A quiet stroll

Some pics from my last walk!
I was not in a great mood that morning (two days ago) and I think you can see it from the photos....
So sorry!!!

See you soon, xxx

My owl

When did I start to sew felt owls? Not long ago! Infact you can see them starting from this post(Miss Owlette) and the following ones (....and today : Miss Owloween! and Some cuteness and a little bit of silliness!) and you will discover that this is a recent crafty passion!
My first four owls were born following a template ("felt owl ornament"), that I've discovered via Day to Day (http://www.melissagoodsell.typepad.com/). This template has been designed by Jessica Levitt on her blog http://www.juicy-bits.typepad.com/  and I really love it!!!
So in this way I became an owl addict and now I've designed my personal owl! It will be completed in a short while as you can see from the following pics...



Phew!!!
I'm very glad about the result till now and I'm completely smitten with the "feathers" on my owl's tummy!!!
What about you? Any comment? Please feel free to leave a comment at the end of this post! I would like to hear from you!!

See you soon, xxxx

Back in JK!!!

We came back just a couple of days ago. We left from Milano Malpensa Airport on the 5th around 21:30 and we arrived in Jakarta the next day at 22:30...!!! It's a very long trip from Italy to this part of Asia, but it's part of our life this crazy traveling...
The kids went back to school this morning and even Paolo went back to the office!
And what about myself? It's so simple, just follow the pics...

..My first 2012 morning walk in JK!!!! And we are only at the beginning of the new year!!!
After the stroll, I came back home and right following the shower I entered in my studio...

I love this room, I really do! In here, when at home, I spend a lot of my time! I read books or magazines on my pink sofa, maybe listening to some cds (no mp3 with me!), like this morning: a greatest hits from Duran Duran!!! Unbelievable, but so perfect for my memories of the eighties!!!! But, the most important thing that I do in here is create my things! I prepare everything in this room, starting from the scketches...

...something new around the corner...

...there is one other furry living being that shares the same love for my "personal" room...

...guess who?

See you soon, xxx

Have a great 2012!!!

We started the 2012 with a little walk in a natural reserve just outside Salsomaggiore Terme, along a path in the Parco dello Stirone....everything was so quiet, except some loud screams from my boys! They were so excited to run , to play as musketeers with logs or to enjoy the ice along the river Stirone...

Maybe you can notice my geological background in few pictures above....but what I was really interested to show you is how beautiful is the sleepy Nature!!! Isn't she? Even if every little or big member of both Fauna and Flora are still resting, Nature is still gorgeous ! Maybe there is not a huge variety of colours, but walking at a slow pace trying to enjoy every little moment of this walk and hoping to find some little inhabitant (some birds were skipping around!), well the early afternoon was well spent! My eyes, my heart and my mind were so pleased with this refreshing experience...Thank you Nature for all your little and big gifts!!!!
What do you think about the pictures made with my new camera (a Christmas gift so appreciated!!!)? Isn't she doing a great job? Well, I really think so!!!

And now some crafts done and on the way....

Well, that's all folks!!
I need to go back to the camera instruction manual, because there is a lot to discover and to put into practice!!!

See you soon, xxx
