Hi my Dears!!!! The moving is completed!!! I've opened all the boxes and all our stuff is in place : we have a cosy place to call home again!!!! HURRAY!!!! In the meantime I crafted a little, as some gifts were requested … I had the joy to open my beads boxes and create a couple of beaded bracelets … The first one had to be done with neutral colours ... … while the second one was just up to me, so I went for blues … … then I crocheted two pairs of fingerless Minions mitts (free pattern found  here ) for a couple of twins brothers (7 years old!) who are going to celebrate their birthday this coming Sunday … So, I had some fun in creating all these little gifts, all handmade with love!!! I'll be here in my place very soon : no more "excuses" for delay after delay!!! xxxx, Alessandra

Oh yeah! I've crafted a couple of days ago an owl for me! Her name is Miss Owlessandra (!!!) and I'm really proud and happy to go around with her around my neck, as infact she is my own owl necklace!! And what about this velvety fish? It's really light as a pendant for another necklace and the colours are really yummy! Even Margot was interested in playing with this little fella... You know? This 3D fish project is not new at all! I've started to bead its brothers and sisters 6/7 years ago while in Cairo. The first ones where made in honour of Nemo and they looked like these ones : So the idea is still the same, but the beads are different! Which one do you prefer? I'm curious to know ! Well, now give space to the silliness.... I'll tell you all the story! I was still beading the fish and Margot desperately wanted to play with it, BUT.... so, I collected out from my sewing basket the tailor ...

Well, what do you think? Some days ago, I've collected out all my little creations to check the amount of stuff I've been producing till now....Amazing, eh? The fact is that I've been invited to partecipate to a couple of bazaars as a vendor....!!! I'm so excited about this opportunity! I really hope to meet people that will be in love with my handmade things! You know, the cupboard is near to explode......! Cheers, xxx Alessandra
