Outing!

Here's a little videoclip of Tristan's baby brother/sister (w.11+0)

Isn't he/she just wonderful?!?

I made some Owlz!

You can find this pattern here

Here, take a look if you want to make a little cute owl like this one!

Feeling yellow

I'm home today... yes... and I've been home the last couple of days.

Got my right hand fixed last wednesday (because of an annoying carpal tunnel syndrome) and I'm going to be on sick leave for a fortnight because I cannot really use my hand that much and it would be impossible to get something done at work.

As a matter of fact I'm not doing that much at home either, I still cannot feel the tip my fingers and it is actually quite hard to type as well: the sutures feels a little tight and are right on the wrist... ever tried to keep you're right wrist completely still? It just isn't going to happen!!

And hey! What's the matter with that funky yellow thing they dip your hand with?!? It is actually impossible to get off...

As I had to keep my hand up all day, need I say how many people stared at me on the way home? Not the kind of attention one's eager to get really...

Another 15 months...

...have past!

Well, I've been busy, I guess.

I was actually quite surprise to discover, that there really was a crafter hidden deep inside of me. And I really have been busy making all sort of things: sewing, crocheting, embellishing boxes... making owls! Yes, I guess owls are my new passion.

Owls and somehow everything lilac and purple (in case you did not notice the new template... ehm ehm).

Picture of all the fine things I've made will soon be published.

But one thing I made in the last 15 months really can't compare to the rest and it's what I'm most proud of:

TRISTAN

He really is the loveliest of babies (actually "toddlers" since he turned one a couple of weeks ago) therefore I can't really use him as an excuse for not being able to write a couple of line in the blog.

I am aware of the fact that a post a year isn't enough to keep this blog alive and that is why I have decided to really make an effort in giving my new crafter identity a place to show off and maybe a little reading material for Tristan, something he can laugh about when he grows up!

Oh well... let's try again...

and again... and again... and again... and again... and again...

Let's be frank, I am not the kind of person who is able to keep writing a blog.

It always ends up being a short-lived project. I will give it another try though and this time I thought it would be nice to write it in English, so that it could be understandable for all the people I know, both in Italy and in Denmark or wherever they are.

There will be loads of mistakes and funny-looking sentences, but hey! I am trying to please everybody here so don't make my task harder than it is, 'kay? A long time has passed since I have been writing in English, actually since I have been writing at all...

The old posts of this blog have been deleted, I wanted to start anew... but then I couldn't really get myself to delete the last one, so it will stay there even if it is in Italian - I will probably find the time to translate it one day.

19 months have past since that post and - gee- so many things have happened, so much has changed - I have changed!

I now am a married woman (who would have thought), bearing the child of the man I love above anything else in this world.

I am happy.

And it is a strange kind of happiness or probably it is the real kind of happiness, it is something I have never experienced before anyway.

Of course not everything is perfect - far, far from it! - we surely could use a bit more of this and that (read: money - LOL), I have to endure almost every "side-effect" pregnancy can cause and Daniele has to go through all my ups and downs ( I feel terrible about it by the way) but I AM HAPPY... I am fulfilled. I know that I wouldn't want to be anywhere else and with anybody else and that's a loooooong way from where I was 19 months ago.

And well, let's give this blog a chance and try to keep it alive... at least until I have to get back to work again...
