Extreme Pain And Burning In My Right Upper Thigh

Snow, kitchen and ... creativity!

It 's impossible to believe, but in the South of Sicily Saturday it snowed! Imagine the excitement that a terroncella like me can try before the show: wonder, amazement and disbelief ...
My city seemed so strange, white, silent, clean. Even Geppo, my dog, remained throughout the afternoon in front of the window and growled strange ... the snow! Of course I could not resist and I took a walk around with my four-legged risking frostbite and evening, stimulated by the northern climate, I got the 'idea of \u200b\u200bcooking a goulash succulentissimo.
Given the length of the cooking so I decided, in the meantime, my creative work to complete a left open: here it is, a recipe made with colorful pieces of cloth patchwork advanced here and there and where, once completed, I copied the recipe for goulash. I recommend you do it, is a dish a bit 'hard-working, but the result is guaranteed. And do not tell you .... mmmmmmh shoes, so attrezzatevi taaaanto of bread, and the next day, alas, diet ... (

As in the picture is not clear the preparation, I will quote here:
Flour the beef, you cook the onion in veil 'oil, add beef and brown in a large skillet a few minutes. Pour the red wine, cover the stew broth and cook over low heat. diced carrots and potatoes and add to pan along with the past, celery and paprika. Add salt and cook low heat for at least 40 minutes cover and add the broth as it dries. Season with salt and paprika, served hot e. .. Yum yum!

Does Starting Your Period Affect Growth

I confess that I hated dolls as a child ...

... and that I have undergone the most cruel tortures. Only one was stolen from my sadism Camilla, you remember, right? For the rest, all the other dolls, including Barbie, or I cut your hair (in the best of treatments), or I scribbled in the face with markers in an attempt to fake it, or, in extreme cases, I have been mutilated (I know, it's terrible ...). The reality is that I preferred the creative toys, in fact, when I was given a game called "Gira la Moda" began to treat him as a relic, and that was the time when I said I want to make the designer (although I began to want to say to be a teacher, immediately after the trapeze at the circus, then the veterinary ...)
And now? Now I create the dolls! Dolls that, given my sound of madness, I could only call "Pu-crazy!"


I used to stoffine colorful clothes, and felt the hair and buttons pannolenci for "hair":)
I have not yet baptized, only the one with the yellow scarf that I want to remember to call Wanda P. Conte song that goes ".. you are serious but with his face but laugh eyes, I know .. ". Can not find that it fits the expression? And the others? Give you a hand!

Driver For Samson R10s Mic

For us nostalgic ...

Even as a child I was fond of music: I was in middle school, I had 12 years, and the first album I bought was one of the Doors. There were many alternatives for playing music, but digital! Or vinyl or audio-cassette, the CD does not still existed and mp3 players ... obviously fiction.

The idea of \u200b\u200bthe Audio Tape Collection flashed in my head, opening a drawer in my parents' house where I found all the music of my mother, mostly Italian music copyright produced by the old RCA label, do you remember? So jumped at the inspiration and I started to 'work: still only two works, a bag and a clutch, but the nostalgia of the old music and old media to listen to it is already so taken possession of me that already I know it will not be easy to stop!
Here is the clutch bag, roomy and comfortable to carry in stock tips, pencils, handkerchiefs, cards ... well anything, and the bag, big and large designed for people like me, when you leave the house can not refrain from doing half move! :)




I hope you like, tell me that there seems! As usual I am willing to accept advice, tips, reviews, ... flattery, indecent proposals, awards, courting ... -Ops! :) -

Lorac Blush Review Blog

to warm up ... and a warm soft felt bag! Yet another Genesis

Today is a rainy cold day here in "South of Sicily" and hardly believe it after almost 20 degrees yesterday! So, in the warmth of my cozy home, on my china economic sewing machine, I gave birth to my latest creation. Here it is (imagine me looking like Geppetto Pinocchio her proud:)






This is a bag made of felt, gray, with applications on the front . Within was lined with cotton canvas red robustisssssimo bordeaux.E 'versatile, it can be worn as a handbag or using the shoulder strap.
'm very satisfied and then I felt the feeling from the sound of soft warmth that lifts me from this cold day in February.

A Couple With The Same Birthdays



Hello to everybody! My name is Giorgia and "handmade" is the brand I use for my handmade creations. Mine is a soft and colorful world made of felt, wool, cotton and bottoni.L 'craft is my passion, and here present my small collection of handbags, accessories, pu-crazy! and jewelry.
Each piece is made according to my models for my design, exclusive and original: each creation is the result of careful work and a passion that I hope to share with you.
I thought I would publish the interview I granted to Artesanum: I think it is a good contribution because it can start to know me:

I name is Giorgio, I'm 31 and I live in 'extreme South Eastern Sicily. I have always had the 'innate passion for everything related to the manual arts, a passion that I inherited from my grandmother, very good at sewing. Through this activity I can best express my unbridled creativity and the greatest satisfaction is seeing people wear / use my creations. As you can imagine my land is rich in tradition, think of the Sicilian embroidery, the embroidery and the filet as something that falls in the ethnography of my territory for centuries there Sicilian family who is not a woman who successfully cut and sew to create: besides this kind of activity often creates a source of income for women and is something that is handed down from mother to daughter as a great value.

When did you start to realize this type of crafts?

I started using the felt about three years ago to become matted and water from about a year. The occasion was to sell small items to fund a youth center in my city. It was nice to see people approach the market and all the compliments I received on that occasion were the impetus to continue with these wonderful materials

What material or materials used in your main craft?

used primarily as an old, felt, patchwork fabrics, but also, felt, recycled material. Almost never throw my old clothes, always draw some inspiration from any material.

Your favorite color?

Purple, especially when used in combination with the green. But the black, white. orange short .... ALL

With that feature you would like your products to be identified?

with respect for 'environment and with the intrinsic value of the' handmade: each creation is first idealized, designed, refined and finally executed. Respect for the 'Environment and Labour of' craftsman are extremely useful elements

Do you think the products we make, in terms of materials and design, is innovative and original?

Absolutely! Rarely do I create a two times I like to think that people who buy my product to be proud to know to be the only one to possess

Do you think it is good that other people share their drawings and that these are then handcrafted in different sizes and materials?

Well, why not! I like the collaboration and the collectivization of knowledge: the creative know how to mingle together and sharing can born brilliant ideas!

What do you think that gives you the opportunity to exhibit for free artesanum.com your craft around the world through the Internet?

It 'very useful! To think that anyone in the world can make contact with my creations is certainly exciting.

Would you say that your craft products are made in the environment?

Absolutely! For me it is an absolutely indispensable. Let me give an example of carded wool nell'infeltrimento minimizes water consumption and I have never used chemicals: for this purpose use soap or detergent organic

What solution you can think of to help the artisans who do not possess the technological resources to have the opportunity to shop as a artesanum.com?

Whether you support it with others, that technological tools are shared

A reflection on the meaning of your work?

.. "that's why it cost so much?" "No, that's why it's worth so much!" Joe Fox said the clerk, after he had to say, the creation prezzodi done entirely by hand ... (Source: Elena Fiore)
That said I can only hope that this blog take off.
Besos!
