Christmas Time!

I love really the Christmas. It is one magic period for me, and to see the joy in the eyes of children is a very beautiful thing. The main point is to make to understand to them that the Christmas is not only gift to be found under to the tree but it is more something.
I hope that they has understood the true value. The only trouble is that it passes so in hurry :))))
We have spent a serene Christmas, even if I in the afternoon was of turn to the hospital, sometimes this can happen, but it is my job and me love it. 






I received some beautiful gifts, indeed! My preferred perfume (thanks my love! )
a wrapping of aromatic tea, a book, a soap bath, two mini tablecloth for the breakfast but the gifts that I have appreciated a lot they have been, a box for the sewing and a purse the nordic style.
Thanks to my two dear friends!

Thank you!!!!

 

Thank you very much to all!!!
And' very beautiful to know that each of you has looked and left a message.
This has been for me a great gift for my Christmas. In these last months I have known through the world-blog, people from every part of the earth and I hope that this friendship can continue for the time that comes!
Thanks, indeed!!!!

To all of you that visit my blog, I want to wish a serene Christmas and a creative new year!!! Thanks for all the beautiful comments that have left in this year, I have really appreciated!

I have begun to think about the Christmas in the last days. The last month of October to Vicenza took place a beautiful fair, me of it approffittai to capture some nice idea for the next Christmas:)))
In that occasion I made to make some purchase :))))

 
I was not able not to purchase any magazines, fabrics, some decoration.

Here still photo of the party for halloween :)))) They are also there some jobs that I have done.

Hi to all.
Yes I know him, I have been absent for some time,I have had some problems with my Pc and his connection to internet! My goodness, I didn't see the time that this returned to work, I felt me cut out, I am happy when I can visit my friends of blog:)))
I have had a lot of movement in these days:)))) Sinned the little time to sew.
Mattia, my greater child is recovering very well, it does physiotherapy three times a week. Its leg is repaired entirely, it now has to recover the movement.
We have made a beautiful party of halloween, the occasion was the birthday of Alice the smallest daughter.The children have had a lot of fun for this ;))) even if in Italy it is not tradition the to celebrate Halloween we have decorated the house the preceding week. Ghosts, witches, spiders and cobwebs that dangled ohhh yes, the fun was insured!!!

Beautiful surprise....

Yesterday I have found a pleasant surprise in my mail! A beautiful Postcard from Sweden. It was really nice and I was really happy:)))) Thank you so much,Joolz :))))))
I like a lot the Postcards, I am an a little been sorry when they must be lost. This can sometimes happen; last month I sent out two postcards but them I am not still reached destination!

The pain to the back also prevents me to be to sew, but I have ended a new table runner for the table, even if it has not succeeded very well, patience:)))) 

Hi to everybody. I have been a few distant from my PC lately, but my back is painful in this period. My job doesn't help to be better, it is heavy. The position to be in front of the pc is for me painful and is for this motive that I have not adjourned my blog. 
But I have made some photos, we have gone to walk in the wood and we have picked up the chestnuts. Mattia, my greater child has remained home with the grandparent because it is not able still to walk, it uses the clothes hanger and then has waited us to house.It was not too much happy for this but it is recovering very well, indeed.

This is the scarecrow that I made last year. This year I am preparing a tablerunner with some pumpkins, I hope to end soon it because the pains to my back they makes him feel : (((
 

Bye bye, summer!

 Ohh yes, I believe that the summer by now it has gone away. This night, there has been a cold wind from north and the temperature it has lowered; this morning us took a sweater I set.
I believe that it doesn't miss very to turn on the fireplace :))) I love the autumn, it has some beautiful colors, the air is fresher and we leave again with new projects to do!

Pincushion

I believe to have a some feverish form for the pincushions. I am strongly attracted verse them, really. They likes to do them, to manufacture them, to give them..... Is it perhaps the case that I begin a collection???

I didn't succeed in adding the photos:)))
