Edinburgh, 18 July 2015 ...

…. why this date???
Simply because I have pics of our week in Edinburgh from our first day only ….
Why?
The photos that will follow on this post were taken with my DSLR camera, while the remanent ones were taken with my smartphone, that was stolen (or lost? Still a big mystery!) a couple of weeks ago … I didn't downloaded the pictures from my smart device  …. so a part of my sweet memories went lost, forever…. SIGH …

… luckily a big smile was back on my face when I looked at was left about our great week in Edinburgh…. better than nothing, right? ;oD

Every morning, after having a nice breakfast at Loudon's Cafe, we used to walk to our daily destination...















… In our case, it was The National Museum of Scotland …




















After the visit at the museum, we ventured again along the streets in downtown…







… and back to our apartment, in front of the living room windows, we could look at some baby seagulls waiting for both mummy and daddy : feeding time !!!
They were really noisy , but so funny to watch …





Happy Weekend !!!!
xxxx, Alessandra

    Edinburgh is a beautiful city. I am looking forward to visiting Edinburgh again one day and seeing the museum. We did not visit the museum last time but went to see the castle and the views over the city were spectacular. Xxxx

    Oh, what beautiful, gritty city. I remember a not-so-nice youth hostel, cheap lemonade and M&S sandwiches in the park below the Rock, and tartan scarves I still wear 18 years on 😄

    What a shame about your phone. Hopefully it was just lost and can be returned at some point. Edinburgh is on my list of places to visit one day and you have just made it go up a couple of notches! Have a lovely weekend xx

    Beautiful photos of a beautiful city! Edinburgh is wonderful - did you find the yarn store? It was run by a nice Canadian lady - can't remember what it was called, but it was there a few years ago :)

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...
