Embroidery--Work- in-progress

Finally I have finished this embroidery of Gwyneth Paltrow, at the time being I am doing some embroidering on this very chic sofa...

dawn

 I had the opportunity to observe sunrise in an "unusual" way.  I took an early flight from Alghero to Rome, 7 am flight to be exact, the sky was slowly transforming from darkness by a ray of strong white light with different layers of colors: yellow, pinkish, blue, and grey. As the airplane moving slowly towards Rome, the endless sky was gradually brightened up and bringing a fresh new day to the earth...

handmade scarfs

During Christmas period I had made several scarfs. They were made with mix 'n' match wool and cotton  fabric, fleece, and machine-stitched the words onto beautiful flowery fabrics.  I could not believe they were all sold!!!!!It was such a satisfaction and I have been asked to do more...

one lovely afternoon in August, me and Diego we went for a bicycle ride along the lido, at one point we were attracted by the sweet frying onion fragrance in the air which brought back memories of the celebration of July 1st in Ottawa, where hotdog wagons selling the mouth-watering hamburger, hotdogs, and sausages....so we decided to find out where was this wonderful smell from by following the trail of it...here we go they were busily preparing the succulent "porchetto" piglets on the skewers, one of the famous plates in Sardegna, the owner told us that it would take at least 3 hours to prepared them, of course, sausages were also included in the menu... to finish with the plate, there were also barbecued eggplants, red pepper, oh yes, the onions.....yum, yum.  We did not have any of them coz we had our lunch before heading out for a bicycle ride.  We went through the old city and stopped in front of the harbour and admiring all the luxurious boats waiting for their next journey to the sea....it was such a lovely ride, the best way to enjoy the elegant old city,  great excersize and environmental friendly, why not??!!!

It was such a great feeling to be immersed in the crystal-cleared water .  We were lucky to find such a warm weather in November.  I am glad we did go to the beach because down in my heart I know that I will have to wait for the next summer before I can plunge into the water again plus outside is pouring since Sunday and we have to endure another few days of this grey and wet days before the weather changes, sigh....

It's wonderful to find these delicious red fuji hanging on our apple tree after being away for months.  The unique fragrance, nothing can beat fruits being matured under the sun (the natural process), which you really cannot find it from the stores:-)
