Sing joyfully


from Psalm 33...

The Lord foils the plans of the nations; 
    he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
    the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord
    the people he chose for his inheritance. 
13 From heaven the Lord looks down 
    and sees all mankind; 
14 from his dwelling place he watches
    all who live on earth—
15 he who forms the hearts of all,
    who considers everything they do.


Hi folks!

This is what i was considering today...project of our own lives.
Job, relations, houses, places, whatever we think it could be good for us in that.

And...how all our thoughts maybe don't reflect what could be really the best for us : here God's projects.

I went to the Sanctuary today, and i could heard that words coming from a Psalm. 

Isn't God's Love perfect?


I wish you a very very nice sunday  ^_^

NAture's treasure box 2



Hi there!

just a pic of the last Nature's treasure box, a commission i would say...

what else? reflecting on the fact that be thankful and realize the wonder all around HERE is the only way to happiness....yes, i admit, for years i looked from my home out of here (Val Marecchia or the earth..?)   just to understand better, that the only home is here here inside.
and the rest...will follow.


My friends, i wish you a woderful week end...

i hope to spend mine in serenity... among the nature's Treasures all around!

Foreste Casentinesi National Park


Dear friends,

today i went in this wonderful land... it is between Romagna and Tuscany, inside it helds two very ancient Sanctuaries (Camaldoli and La Verna) and ..
it is really a powerful place to me...



I needed to open my soul and be helped to clean it, so i started my day here..


Here you can see a picture from the 00 footpath. It is a medieval path built for cattle truck, and it runs all troughtout the Appenini mountains, always you wlak on the top of the mountains, so a wonderful landscape is guaranted!


In this period of the Year, you can smell a deep rebirth of leaves and trees, and with warm temperatures they are stronger..


today was also windy, and all the little flowers which diyed to leave place to leaves, was dancing in the air, together with a lot of polplar pollen.. it seemed a carnival ceremony!



I walked around for maybe three hours, and then i found even a waterfall where i rested to do some yoga.. and now, after many hours, i still can feel a great sense of Love inside...the trees gave me all what i needed, their breath, their hugs, their windy smile, and my soul was completely new after that!




Nature is the most wonderful doctor, isn't it?


Have a nice sunday you all ^_^

Reversible Sea bag


Hi friends!
do you remember my sea project? i took some recycled fabrics, which suggested me the many moods of the sea, to make this enjoyable bag...





Of course the fabrics with an own story make me think about the waves, each one has a story as well....
This project took me quite a lot, mostly to find the right scraps and combine the lines, but i'm very proud of it now!

The tote came from the book Style stitches, an Amy Butler's work edited by Chronicles books. I made some changes to adapt it to my needs of course.

I really like that book.... you can find it here

This bag is a gift from a sailor girl..

Here spring is going on ,  these days we had Irish weather, showers and intense glimpses of sun, colours at their best intensity...i love this season, when it's still a bit chilly outside, in the night, and you can breeze real fresh air... the river is nearly in his full amount, and i'm happy for the earth.
You know, after the Great Snow, we had so hot days that the white treasure went away in the air before to have the chance to nourish the soil, and the past week - before the rain started- we already where in drought alert.
Well, this is a pic from yesterday morning walk


Have a nice day you all!!

Sea project


here is a new project.. a sea handbag made from scraps and used cloths... it takes more time than keep a new fabric, as I have to find the good pieces from the old skirts and trousers, but it is really a great trip on life history...
I  put that book in the middle, because i'm reading it in these period, and, even if for some things and designs are too much extreme for me, i already am  into the mood of changing my idea of "how to dress, and how to treat fabrics"... now many colors on dresses, sounds like too noisy for my eyes, and this is because they absolutely too much chemicals...



work in progress...

oh, i forgot to mention that i received many gift from friends in these days:  three shirts, three pairs of very nice shoes, and even one new wonderful red trolley..
And this means..prepare yourself to travel with new steps, and in new paths, my Dear, in the Adventure of Life!!!

Today Togo and me had a wonderful windy walk through our medieval Village...


Bye bye friends!

Nature's Treasure Box



Hi Folks!

spring is rejuvenating everything... and i'm going into this process with all myself...

I did this box for a Little Girl, my faerie friend S, who wish to keep all her treasures found in walks on the beach or into the wood...

My friends, today my Heart was literaly filled up with Gold, by this little Angel.. and this emotion was so great that i was overwhelmed by joy.





Thank You Life You blessed me with so much Love...

Birthday present


Yes, three month are passed by, form my birthday...but only in these days i realized that...

this year, i asked to Jesus my birthday present, sure that it would be the best choice.
When i was in BVI, on that day,  i had many many blessings, one among all to swim with about 20 Angel fishes..

but now i see what was the best, He gave me a new, amazing, wonderful Love friendship!

D is an angel on this Earth, and i'm so blessed i could met her!

(p.s. if you're wondering about what is "Love Friendship", to me it's that kind of friendship that is so True, unconditioned and full of compassion, that manifests a wonderful form of the Divine Love...)

And now, that spring is blossoming in the very sweet way, i recognize this birth...

I'm so happy, my friends, and today i wish for you to find the best Love Friendship ever !

Refreshing spring

I love love love
this time of the year!

Today bright was the  sun and blue the sky

...



and i took all the possible excuses just to stay outside in the  nature...i made a bath to Togo, one to my car, one to me( in the swimming pool...), i planted chives in the garden (an idea i had from 2010..and still never done!) ...
 and now sunset is coming and i'm enjoying the birds concert with my tea...
 i also went to the garden grocer, and i have to say i love that place, which  inspires me not just because full of things and colours, but mostly because makes me think to beauty and care for nature.. yes i know it is also full of chemical products but i do not notice them ...  ^_^

So... tomorrow i'll be in the Appenins woods with friends, and i'll stay a bit longer in the fresh air..
i wish for you also a very nice sunday hopefully bright and sunny!!



Greetings from togo my white dragon!

Friendship cloth 1



This project was born by the online class " Whispering hearts", about which i spoke few posts ago.
And then i think became something else.








I saw how many hours is possible to spent on a few cm of work... and i decided to give this energy to a bigger aim.
As we are different colours of the same Light, so we can have different personalities and can, of course, happen that they sounds very different each other.

I decided to work on this, giving my time and creative energy to build a rainbow of friendness toward a person quite distant from me... creating an astral union, so that it will reveal its sunray in the matter.

That was my aim.
And i think it worked.
Yesterday i delivered this cloth to S, and i could see how the difficulties to interact with this being, were mostly in my mind, and in my fear and not acceptance of the different.

Dear friends, this very long 3-weeks workshop was very usefull for me...and hand sewing is also a very good zen practise, too.

I share with you even a song which i received from an Italian friend which sings beautifully...it's a R. Tagore song, in the first part it's spoke in Italian with english undertext..




Have a wonderful thursday, folks!
