Hi !!! It has been a little while since my last visit, but I'm still here : no worries ! ;oD I've been busy working on my last project : a new sweater ! After my  My mega granny square jumper , I was tempted to crochet a raglan sweater... I made some research on Pinterest and via YouTube. Eventually I was lucky enough to find a nice pattern on one book in my bookcase :  Easy Crochet Country 30 projects to make for your home and to wear  (Consultant : Nikki Trench) . The pattern chosen was : "Sweater with patterned sleeves" on pages 104-107. Well, I didn't follow the pattern properly... I've noticed that the conversion from cm to inches was wrong... so how could you trust the sizes???? I took my personal measurements and I crocheted more chains in the foundation chain to have a more cosy sweater, just a little bit oversized !

....After a long while, a new postcard for you all!!! I had in mind this special person since the beginning of the year, but I started to crochet him only a couple of days ago ... ... I was too scared to make him ridiculous and it was not my intention, but the design for My Little Crowd is intended to be naïve, so here what I made : more details ... ... and the postcard I'm sending to you ... ... that matches perfectly another quote from the Mahatma "In a gentle way, you can shake the world". xxxx Alessandra

Happy Women's Day to you all !!! Yesterday I was busy in crocheting a new figure for My Little Crowd and this is what I came out with ... She wears a big smile and a nice bow on an extravagant hairdo ... ... and she holds the classic symbols for our day .... in Italy we use to gift the mimosa flowers on this special day .... The pattern for the mimosa flower was found HERE : grazie mille Gaia !!! She is almost ready ... .... to deliver an important message ... Enjoy OUR DAY !!!! xxxx Alessandra Please, show me your makes on IG using the following hashtag : #homemadeatmyplaceoriginals or  tagging me @alessandrapoggiagliolmi .

It has been a while since my last postcard ( here) , so thankfully to Valentine's Day, I have a good excuse to send you a new one ... ... and this sweet girl is really eager to spread the love, even her own hair has the shape (top part) of mini hearts ... .... and the bunting or even the pink heart on her dress are really good to underline her love wish ... I think that Albert Camus was right when saying " I know of one duty, and that is to love", but to love others you have first to love yourself .... Love yourself and the rest will follow !!
