My parents-in-law live in Tuscany, in the amazing Chiantishire...such a big luck!
It means that on average once per months I have a weekend in Tuscany. It takes just 3 hours to reach them.
We went there last weekend: sun, heat, bright sky....nothing make us think it's still winter! Here's some pics I took while strolling around with tip car. This place is Monaciano: my housband's grandma was born here, it was a farm, now it has been restored and it is a luxury turistic accomodation....
Here's one of my favourite artworks made by my talented heartking (see his work here). It has been exhibited once, and it was already gone: a collector felt in love with it and took it home immediately! I'm happy for this, but I miss it!

Close the work, cut the yarn about 40cm long, thread this yarn onto a tapestry needle.
Roll the crocheted work up and sew it meanwhile.
This is definitely one of my favourite pattern: easy ad stunning at the same time!
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man - yeah! An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ? Honey, you know I did! And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough, But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it, Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby! Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, oh, have a! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, You know you got it if it makes you feel good, Oh, yes indeed.
You're out on the streets looking good, And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right, Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night, Babe, and I cry all the time! But each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain, But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.
I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it! Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, Oh, oh, have a! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it, Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby! Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c'mon now. Oh, oh, have a Have another little piece of my heart now, baby. You know you got it - whoahhhhh!!
Take it! Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby, Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh, oh, have a Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
During a trip to the Netherlands I bought a bag of tulip bulbs: a lot of work to plant them but finally this has been the satisfaction I get! Such a beauty on the balcony worths the work I've done!
Here's an easy-peasy DIY to customize your little one bodysuit. for my little prince I've crocheted a crown (for instruction click here) and a fish (gold fish translated to Italian is ''pesce rosso'' that is red fish), then I quickly sewed it to the bodysuits with sewing machine. A touch of colour that Matteo enjoyed a lot!
Following fish applique instruction:
Start with chain 7
Round1. sc in next stitch from hook,
hdc next stitch, dc next stitch, 2dc in next stitch,
dc next stitch, sc in last stitch then turn
to other side. (7 sts)
Round2. sc in next stitch, hdc
next stitch, 2dc next stitch, dc in next stitch,
hdc next stitch, sl st finished off. (6 sts)
Chain 3 (fish tail), turn, hdc in next stitch from
hook, hdc nect stitch, sl st to finish off first tail.
Second tail, chain 3 and repeat as the same as
first tail.
It was a filthy block of flats Trash was on the floor A stink was in my nose Hinges off the doors
She took me in her room All was spic and span Fixed me up a drink Turned down all the lamps
And the rain fell down On the cold hard ground And the phone kept ringing And we made sweet love
Follow it up in this strange grey town They build it up and let it all fall down Feel like we're living in a battleground Everybody's jazzed
Follow it up in this strange grey town The paint is peeling and the sky turned brown The bankers are wankers, every Thursday night They just vomit on that ground
And the rain fell down The cold grey town And the phone kept ringing And we made sweet love
Everybody's dreaming Everybody's scheming Until the rain fall down
She cooked me up some eggs Then she made some tea Kissed me on the cheek And I turned on her TV
It was all the usual crap All the usual sleaze For two thousand quid Some bimbo spilled the beans, yeah
And the rain fell down On the cold grey town And the phone kept ringing And we made sweet love
And the rain fell down And we made, and we made, and we made sweet love And the phone kept, the phone kept ringing... Yeah!
Yeah And the phone kept ringing The phone kept ringing, yeah And the rain... rain... rain... rain.... rain... rain... rain...
