Per Laura... ci hai insegnato tanto e ci hai arricchito la vita... ti aspettiamo!

Oggi un pensiero per Laura.

Coltivare cactus ai piedi dei monti è una piccola avventura, e soprattutto quando arrivano il gelo e la neve un po' di apprensione non me la leva nessuno. Eppure i miei amici spinosi si trovano bene qui da me, nella bella stagione si godono il sole brillante e i venti freschi della sera, e quando le temperature scendono non si lasciano intimorire: semplicemente, si riposano per qualche mese, pronti a ricominciare a crescere appena torna il caldo.
Dico sempre che dalle piante si può imparare tanto, e il mio augurio per Laura è di riuscire a fare come queste creature piene di risorse, capaci di adattarsi a qualunque circostanza e di diventare sempre più forti, malgrado le condizioni non sempre ottimali con cui si devono confrontare. 
Questi fiorellini piccoli, ma forti, sono il mio pensiero per te.

Today our thoughts go to Laura.

Growing cactus plants at the foot of the mountains is a little adventure, expecially when cold and snow arrive I can't help but worry for them. My thorny friends, though, enjoy life here, during hot months they like the bright sun and the breeze of the night, and they're not afraid of low temperatures: they simply take a rest, getting ready for the next warm season, when they begin to grow again.
I always say that you can learn a lot from plants, and my wish for Laura is that she'll manage to do like these resourceful creatures do, since they're able to adust to every circumstance and to become stronger and stronger, though often faced with hard conditions.
These small but strong flowers are my thought for you.

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...
