Blah.

I'm terrible with blogs, lately. I keep on putting them apart.. but, anyway, I am here today. I've been into box-making, it just came to my mind in the weekend, and here's what I did:



I'm quite proud of the work, but still not totally satisfied. They will be part of my Easter's cookies gifts. One of them (the 2nd one) has already reached its destination (and it seems it has been appreciated ;))

Happy Valentine's

Well, I haven't been much here lately, even if I am spending hours at the PC. THe new thing to tell is that I have been asked to become Region Manager at BC.com, and I accepted, so I am helping cleaning up the Italian database of the "Go hunting" section. It's unbeliavable how many cities, villages, places there are in the place where I live :P
My crafts are going on, someone suggested I could try to sell some amigurumi animals on Etsy, I will think over it.
In the meanwhile I bought some lovely threds from an online shop in the US: Daisy Stitches. I'd like to recommend it, I bought everything I needed, but prices of the same thread in Italy are quite unbeliavable O_o
Here they are:

I just realized it's Valentine's Day, so I wish you a lot of love, friendship and... chocolate ;)

It's almost February!!

Here I am! I can't believe how quickly these days are moving! I've been ovewhelmed with things, but survived anyway ;) I went on with some Amigurumi, + I joined Swap-bot and sent/received some swaps (here you can see some :))
Matilde is growing up a lot, and she definitely love cats! Well, I should say she love animals in general, she usually isn't scared of dogs even if we don't have one. But she love cats, as she's got 2 at home, and 3 here.

The yellow fairy book

I just found out that the librivox project I was involved with has been published and it's ready to be listened from whoever would like to. It is The yellow fairy book, by Andrew Lang, and, in case you'd liek to listen my voice, I read chapter 37 :P
I am now involved int 2 more projects, but this was my first reading as an audiobook reader :)

Let's go on with crafting a bit..

Well, I just tried to make another amigurumi animal, so here it is.



Thanx a lot for your comments, I'm happy someone like them :P
As for cross stitching, the first WIP of the year 2008 is the Row of fairies:



Very nice to be worked, and quick!


And, back to my life... holidays are reaching their end, and I'm a bit upset about it (like every year, actually :P). I must call back some concentration for my studies, hard work is waiting for me in the next months, so there won't be much time for relax. I just found out that I need another English exam, wich is not that bad (if I keep on thinking that I want to move, I need fo r sure to improve my English and take back some grammar), but this probably will be added to my thesis, so I don't know how much time I'll need to prepare the exam well as I'd like to..

What about Amigurumi?

Me and my friend Laura were shoppping last saturday. We entered this shop which sas selling keyrings with amigurumi animals. No way I let her spend 8 euros on a pig, I thougt that with that money I could buy two big skeins and make at least 15 of those pigs :P
Anyway, today I reminded I promised Laura I'd try making one, and here's the result:

I am quite happy, as this is the very first time I try with the amigurumi technique :)

Happy New year!

I know, I've been away from this blog for a while. I really had loads of things to do, esp. before christmas. BUt, luckily, everything went on his way. The gifts were all ready for th date, and the singing at church was OK.
Christmas passed on quietly, at home with parents and relatives. No snow, not even for New Year's Eve. It seems like we're going to have some for tomorrow. Let's see.

OK, my fave gift this year is this one:

My friend Isa liked it too, and I'm glad about it. It has been funny to stitch this one, I loved the colors.

..and I received this one:

The box is plenty of tea, which I love.

So, Happy New year to all of you.

Winter time

I know this is not to be considered winter, yet. But, actually, I just mean I love this "autumn going into winter" time. I can do loads of things, loads more than in summer, actually. And going out it's not so bad, if you cover up properly, and find a place to drink hot chocolate or tea. ;)
