What I’m up to - Cosa sto facendo...
Vi avevo già parlato delle mie “creazioni” qui e qui, poi però i mesi sono passati, la vita, il lavoro e altre mille piccole cose si sono messe in mezzo e non vi ho più aggiornato.
Ma non mi sono fermata. Accostare colori e materiali, sentire il filo che prende forma tra le mie mani è una cosa che mi piace davvero, mi fa stare bene e mi fa bene e quindi sono andata avanti a provare, sperimentare e ancora lo faccio…
That’s not the first time that I talk about my creations. I did it here and here. Months went by, and life got in the middle along with many other little things and I haven’t updated you in months. So here we go.
I didn’t stop. I just love putting colors and textures together and I really enjoy the feeling of the thread between my hands, giving it a shape, thinking about the endless possibilities.
L’ispirazione mi colpisce dappertutto e a volte devo lasciare quello che sto facendo e mettermi all’opera, altre volte se sono fuori casa prendo il mio quadernino e butto giù schizzi e idee a cui lavorare quando ne avrò il tempo
Inspiration comes from everywhere and sometimes I have to stop doing what I’m doing and start crocheting. If I happen not to be home, I grab my notebook and write down new ideas.
Durante lo scorso inverno ho avuto anche la fortuna e il grandissimo piacere di essere contattata da un paio di negozi di Londra. All’inizio sono stati momenti di panico e di “ma chi - io??”, ma poi alla fine mi sono lanciata ed è stato bellissimo. Ricorderò sempre con particolare piacere le fredde giornate - e ancor più le nottate - passate a provare, accostare, fare e disfare come una matta. Raramente nella vita mi sono sentita tanto presa e tanto felice.
Last winter I even got the chance (and the pleasure) to get in touch with couple of shops here in London. At the very beginning I was like “Who? Me? Are you kidding me?”, but then I decided to face my fears and give it a try and it was so worthy. I will always remember with joy those cold days - and late nights - spent trying and experimenting.
Negli ultimi giorni, approfittando di giorni eccezionalmente caldi e belli qui a Londra, il mio “studio” si è spostato al parco. Adoro sedermi sull’erba a piedi nudi e far partire le mani all’inseguimento dell’ultima ispirazione. Attualmente si tratta di pezzi più elaborati, dal sapore vintage e romantico. Sto lavorando con un cotone color ecrù vintage avuto in regalo dalla mamma durante una delle ultime vacanze italiane. Lo adoro.
Lately I’m taking advantage of the nice weather here in London (such a miracle) and I moved my “studio” to the park. I love sitting on the grass with my barefoot and start creating. I’m currently working on new pieces which are much more romantic and vintage inspired. I’m using some beautiful vintage cotton thread that my mom gave me during one of my latest holiday in Italy and I’m really loving it.
Presto mi mostrerò nuove foto e posterò le ultime news. Stay tuned and keep creating! ;)
I’ll be back soon with new pictures and updates. Stay tuned and keep creating!

Craftifesto - the Power is in Your Hands
. Craft is powerful. And buying handmade, one-of-a-kind goods from your neighbor kicks the ass of buying mass-produced, slave-made corporate stuff
. Craft is personal. To know that something was made by hand, by someone who cares that you like it, makes that object much more enjoyable. And it makes you feel less lonely when you realize that you know the name of the person who made the bar of soap you use, the earrings you wore when you met that special someone, or the scarf that kept you from freezing while you waited for the train
. Craft is political. We’re not just trying to sell stuff. We’re trying to change the world.
. Craft is possible. Everybody can create something—you don’t have to be an established
business to make stuff.
business to make stuff.

Quote of the week: Mistakes are OK
I Coldplay cantano “if you never try you’ll never know”. Se non provi non saprai mai com’è. Ma provare fa paura, non solo perché le novità - e quindi i cambiamenti - spaventano, ma anche perché implica la possibilità di sbagliare. Il segreto - oltre a un pizzico d’incoscienza - è ricordare che sbagliare è il modo migliore che abbiamo per imparare. E allora via, tutti fuori a provare, a cadere, rialzarci, commettere errori e imparare! :)
Coldplay sing “if you never try you’ll never know”. But trying is scary. Not only because new things and changes are scary to face, but also because the act of trying involves the possibility to fail. I think the secret is always remember that making mistakes is the best way we have to learn. So let’s go out to try, fail, then try again: making mistakes and keep learning is the best thing ever! :)
Happy week to everyone!

About happiness
Photo: mine
[…] We can’t give happiness to anyone else. But by nurturing our own thoughts, and sprinkling that sense of possibility in the world around us, we might show them how things can be. When you choose to do the things you love, and to focus on how fortunate you are to be able to do those things; when you live your day with a sense of wonder, awe and self-acceptance; when you let other people be a part of it - you’re not just creating your own happiness: you’re showing other people it is possible.
