Un fiore in mezzo alla neve? / A flower amid the snow?

No, non si tratta di neve, ma la gioia nel vedere questo fiore per me è stata simile a quella di quando scorgo i primi boccioli al disgelo... Condivido con voi questa foto, un pensiero virtuale per ringraziarvi delle letture e dei commenti. In questi giorni sono davvero indaffarata, mi sto avvicinando a quella che spero sarà una svolta - ma tornerò presto a scrivere qui...

No, that's not snow, but this flower for me was such a joy, just like seeing the first blossoms in springtime... I've decided to share this photo with you, as a virtual gift to thank you all for reading and commenting my posts. I'm really busy these days, I'm near what I hope will be a turning point in my life - but I'll be back soon writing here...

    Ho letto da qualche parte o mi è stato detto che chi disegna... però penso anche chi ricama , fotografa, .....nota i fiori ha un animo gentile...poi per me i fiori anche i più piccoli sono la massima espressione della grandiosità del creato.... buona giornata

    Love surprise flowers on cacti and succulents - as they are so rare they are even more special!
    Hope all goes well as you prepare for your turning point...

Bye, Blogger

I'll write on my  WordPress blog only, from now on, so if you want to follow me you'll find me there. I won't delete this blog, as I'm attached to it and it reminds me of the road I travelled so far, but at least for now I won't update it anymore.

And here's the Dragon! / Ecco il Drago!

Remember the Dragon Tail scarf/shawl I began some time ago? Well, last week I managed to finish it, and I'm oh so proud of it. Not only it's my first Tunisian crochet project, but it also turned out great, big and cosy and oh so soft (this thanks to the lovely yarn Géraldine sent me, Phil Bambou Laine by Phildar). It is 2 m long from tip to tip and 45 cm wide by the last scale, and the last row counts 110 stitches, which are quite a lot... : ) As I already wrote I strongly recommend this if you want to try Tunisian crochet, it's easy, good fun and you get a nice original item to wear.

Her pattern says to increase of two stitches at the end of every row, just before the se...

Yule

These are the days of Yule, a very special time of the year for most of us, when the Light is reborn and back in our lives. So even if the Solstice is gone, I still want to wish you all to have some wonderful days ahead, whatever you celebrate, and a happy 2015!  I'll be back... well, next year, so have some great holidays, and talk to you in 2015! Questi sono i giorni di Yule, un momento dell'anno speciale per molti di noi, giorni in cui la Luce ritorna nelle nostre vite. Allora, anche se il Solstizio è passato, voglio augurarvi di passare dei bellissimi giorni, qualunque ricorrenza celebriate, e anche un felice anno nuovo! Io tornerò a scrivere... beh, l'anno prossimo, quindi buone vacanze, ci sentiamo nel 2015!
