Green Venice

Between my friends' dos and don'ts in Venice, go see this or that  and it only looks good in pictures, my Venice came out green.
Green from the water...

Green from the painted doors and window shutters...

Green whenever you sneak in one of those countless small gardens.

Walls turning green

one way

or another...

Green from the oleanders that haven't blossomed yet...

Winter tales (1)

Usually our trips are not very well and into detail planned, but they are most certainly dreamt of!
We care less for "what is to be seen there" and more for how is that place going to make us feel. And for that you don't really need a map. An open heart and a camera is what I take with me. And a good companion ;).

Waking up early was still an adventure, but I guess that will never have anything to do with the place for me...
The first day was about roaming the narrow streets,

 

walking up and down the stairs, sniffing the food they were making&selling in the squares and falling in love with small details.


Ok, I admit, I wanted to see "those roofs" also,

 but I never expected to get so hooked on door knobs.

At the end of the day I was already dreaming of a good coffee in a nice spot.

 The snow, the frost and the cold were not on the menu, really...

Paint it BLUE

This month we paint it blue.

For all those days we laughed and cried in the same time, we struggled, we hoped and wished for.

A big hug for all those understanding, supporting and loving us. :)

Quick project

Knitting is fun, especially if you have a Mum by your side who always seems to have something on her needles. Being a girl with a plan is a very entertaining job. For yourself as well as for the others.

So knitting for Missy, these days, looks like this:

1. steal some yarn; the closest you can find - nevermind that Mum is still knitting at the other end ; look around for some friends in need of a new layer...

2. decide on that lucky toy that's going to wear whatever comes out of your hands...

3. start working: everything goes (wrapping, simple knots, double knots, loops)

4. and because all the above took so much time (like almost a minute!), consider your job done, and the toy covered in yarn. Ta-daaa!!!

When you know reading is special. When you feel there's so much love in reading. When you know reading is spending a lot of time together. Sharing is caring and reading for friends is priceless...
