La mia serenità spinosa / My thorny serenity

Provo a unirmi alle mie lettrici che partecipano a questo ritrovo del venerdì anche se ormai la giornata è quasi terminata, condivido con voi i miei momenti di serenità spinosa presentandovi qualche mio cactus...

I'd like to join my readers on this weekly Friday meeting, though the day is almost over, so I'll share with you my moments of serenity, some thorny ones, so... meet some of my cactus plants...

Ci sono i nuovi arrivi che si preparano a stupire, regali speciali che ogni giorno mi fanno battere forte il cuore...

There are some new friends who are getting ready to surprise us, special gifts that make my heart pound every day...




C'è chi è un po' timido...

There are some shy ones...




E come sempre c'è chi ama farsi notare...

And of course, there's someone who likes to be looked at...


Grazie Laura per questa bella idea, spero di riuscire a partecipare con costanza in futuro...

Thanks Laura for this lovely idea, I hope I'll be able to join you more often...

    Che bello che ti sei unita! Io adoro i fiori e ho da sempre guardato i cactus con curiosità e meraviglia...da quando però abito in questa zona il mio rapporto con le piante grasse è diventato un pochino più speciale...si accontentano di poco, possono sembrare anche un po' antipatiche con tutte quelle spine ma quando crescono e regalano qualche fiore sono bellissime...peccato che sei lontana, altrimenti avremmo potuto fare qualche scambio...Un abbraccio!

    Wow! What wonderful patterns there are being woven in nature!
    Cacti look like they are mathematical genii!
    Love their flowers - you are right, they are so special.

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...
