Il mio mese / My month

Sento Marzo come il mio mese per diverse ragioni. La prima, la più scontata, se vogliamo, è il mio compleanno, che cade tra 7 giorni esatti, il 21, il giorno dell'equinozio di primavera. Gli altri motivi sono meno ovvi per chi non mi conosce, ma io mi rispecchio nell'imprevedibilità e nella variabilità del mese matto per eccellenza, caratterizzato dal contrasto tra i freddi ancora duri dell'inverno e il tepore della rinascita che preannuncia la primavera. Qui sui miei monti poco più di una settimana fa nevicava abbondantemente, mentre da un paio di giorni un caldo esagerato per la stagione sta facendo la gioia delle piantine, che crescono a vista d'occhio. Questi sono i piccoli crochi che avevo piantato più o meno un anno fa, che stamattina mi hanno salutata così... 
Buon weekend e una buona seconda metà di Marzo, con la speranza che la follia di questo mese vi porti tante idee originali e tanta voglia di creare...

I feel March as my month for various reasons. The first one, probably the most obvious, is my birthday, which takes place in 7 days, on the 21st, the day of the Spring Equinox. Other reasons are less evident to those who don't know me, but I have a feeling with the crazy month's unpredictability and variability. March is torn between Winter's cold and rebirth's warmth, announcing the coming of Spring. Here on my mountains just about 10 days ago it was snowing heaviliy, while from a couple of days we're experiencing out of season high temperatures, to the plants' happiness. These are the small crocuses I planted about a year ago wishing me a nice day this morning...
I wish you all a great weekend and second half of March, hoping this month's madness brings you many original ideas and a lot of creativity...

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.

Wishes and shawls / "Vorrei" e scialli

I can't believe how long it's been since my last post. I'd like to have something more to say, or better yet, I'd like to have more time to think about what to write and really write it down. But unfortunately, I don't. I'm sorry my blog isn't more inspirational, as many of yours are, I wish it was. It's just one of those moments, you know... I'm so busy with too many things. So, want to know what I'm up to these days? Well, there you go: I enjoy long walks in the woods together with my boyfriend every weekend (we're so lucky, I know, and I'm oh so thankful!). I crochet (and knit a bit) every time I can, though not as much as I wish. I try and take good care of my plants and especially my beloved cacti, which continue to grow in number and are preparing to bloom, some of them for the first time, and that's exciting. I also purchased some new hooks and knitting needles, and I'd like to tell you about them in the future, becaus...

For Ireland, and Ireland only...

... The harp, the Shamrock,  Green, white and gold... I almost never write about my love for Celtic culture, I don't really know why; but it's somethind deep rooted in my spirit, a connection that only grows stronger as years go by.  I had the chance to write my bachelor's degree thesis about W. B. Yeats and the Celtic elements within the folk traditions of Éire, a few years back, and thanks to this I got to know Irish culture much better than I did, though I still haven't had the occasion to visit the place. Needless to say, I love everything related: mythology, folklore, traditions... Plus, I absolutely love green, so: a few years later, here's my tiny tribute to the Emerald Isle of Éire, or Ireland, if you wish. : ) What do you think? I know it's simple looking (and simple to make, in fact), but I really like the way it turned out, and I'm quite proud of my shamrocks all around... Would you like to wear your own Irish-related shaw...
