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.

December / Dicembre

Just a quick post to wish you all a merry month of December, full of coziness and warm thoughts while waiting for Yule (or Xmas, or however you like to call this happy holiday! : )). As some of you may have noticed there have been changes in my blog, first of all my name: yes, I'm called Valentina. Melatia was just a username I chose for the web, but in the end I grew tired of it and decided to use my real name. So, not much of a change, is it? Another thing, from now on I'll write in English first and then in Italian. Might sound strange, but when I first learnt English I felt such a love for the language, as if I had found something I lost once again... my love hasn't diminished through the years, and I know I'm not perfect writing and speaking it, but words flow much more easily in English, I have much more fun when I use it, so... tough decision? Not really, and I'm happy with it! : ) Talking 'bout creative stuff, I'm... busy, to say the least. ...

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.

Finished! / Finito!

Hello ladies! How was your weekend? Hope it all goes well! I'm here to show my finally finished baby cardigan, remember ? I've already told you about the wool I used in my latest post, so I won't bore you any longer - just a quick note: if you happen to find it and you've got some knitting baby project in mind definitely try it out! It's thin but grows quickly, it's incredibly soft and it took me less than 100 g on 3.5 mm needles to finish this cardigan, which should fit a 6 months old. Ciao a tutte! Com'è andato il fine settimana? Spero tutto bene! Sono qui per mostrarvi il golfino di cui vi avevo parlato, vi ricordate ? Vi ho già parlato nello scorso post della lana che ho usato, quindi non vi annoierò oltre - solo un appunto veloce: se vi capita di trovarla e avete in mente di sferruzzare qualcosa per un bimbo provatela! E' sottile ma cresce in fretta, è incredibilmente morbida, e mi sono bastati meno di 100 g (su ferri da 3.5 mm) per que...
