or NEED a new white blouse ?

I love, love, love these pieces.

They're super comfortable in the summer heat.

When starting to make a filet crochet,

you should always start with the ninth chain

on the first row from the hook.

This is the common way of starting a filet crochet.

There is a whole world of knitting out there,

and we are only limited by our imagination and belief in ourselves.

I crocheted these for my daughters as usual,

thinking hot (^_^) summer days.

Today computers have become an indispensible part of

our daily lives.

This is so because they have several vital advantages.

Obviously one very important advantage is that

they are utterly reliable.

Another major one is that they are great time-savers for searching new projects about crochet...

HOW DO YOU COLOR YOUR WORLD?

It is fun to visit blogs that have linked to mine, and see projects knitters are doing and what changes they have made to make the project their own. Yarns used or changes made in edgings, shaping, or other details. Sometimes, I will google a design to see what people are doing.

I have come across some very interesting blogs that way.

Take Care,

♥ NO NEW PROJECTS-ONLY LOVE...

As you see,

i'm trying to work on some new projects,

but my dear beauty doesn't let me to try anything...

She's coming near me on the sofa and wants to love her

and has become an important part of our family after her illness.

Then we may fell asleep together while watching TV...

♥ HOT NEWS...

Single-horned 'Unicorn' deer found in Italy
By MARTA FALCONI, Associated Press Writer Wed Jun 11, 3:06 PM ET
ROME - A deer with a single horn in the center of its head — much like the fabled, mythical unicorn — has been spotted in a nature preserve in Italy, park officials said Wednesday.

This undated photo provided by the Center of Natural Sciences in Prato, Italy, Wednesday, June 11, 2008, shows a deer with a single horn in the center of its head. The one-year-old Roe Deer - nicknamed 'Unicorn'' - was born in captivity in the research center's park in the Tuscan town of Prato, near Florence, Gilberto Tozzi, director of the Center of Natural Sciences, said. He is believed to have been born with a genetic flaw; his twin has two horns.

GREAT & FUNNY...

HELLO LADIES !

Still Thinking What To DO ?

I crocheted a new orange blouse,

I liked this white cardigan from The Leaflet...

Think for Doilies around your neck,

"TRY this impression comes from the look of
**Shhh.. Just whispered-**
A doily made of motifs really looks pretty intricate.",

Laces, Dresses " TRY Filet crochet....

A well known and somewhat old fashioned technique.,

(on a vast scale) scarfs as an elegant poncho,
stoles or A RED PONCHO ...

These take a long time!!

Yet, it is strangely addicting as well.

I am enjoying myself!

I love crocheting and I like finding new patterns

to keep my creative juices flowing.

In my opinion, both knit and crochet qualify as

"playing with yarn."

I enjoy the play, whatever form it takes.

We all have enough stress in our lives

with jobs, kids, households, etc. to maintain.
AND ME?
GONE CROCHETING!

Abbia tuo sole nel cuore

Anche se nevica, esiste tempesta

Il cielo é pieno delle nuvole e il mondo é pieno delle lotte

Abbia tuo sole nel cuore
Allora lascia andare qualunque viene

Riempisce tua giornata nera con la luce

Abbia la tua canzone nelle labbre

Con le melodie allegreAnche se ti soffochi a causa delle malinconie

Abbia la tua canzone nelle labbre

Allora lascia andare qualunque vienen

Ti aiutarebbe a combattere la tua giornata piu’ sola
Per gli altri abbia qualcosa da dire

Nel dolore e anche nella malinconia

E digli tutto cio che rendrebbe allegro tua anima

Abbia una canzone nelle labbre
Non perdere il tuo corraggio tuo sole nel cuore

E tutto andra’ bene

♥ MUSIC OF MY HEART...

AN IMPRESSIVE FILM!

Last night I watched Music of the Heart.

It is a 1999 dramatic film.

This film was produced by Craven-Maddalena Films and Miramax Films,

and distributed by Buena Vista Distribution.
Stars Meryl Streep, Aidan Quinn, Gloria Estefan, and Angela Bassett.

About a determined violin teacher who wins the hearts and minds of her inner-city school students. Yet, Craven is the man responsible for Music of the Heart, a film completely devoid of slashed faces, lethal stabbings, and deadly fingernails. Instead, this distaff version of Mr. Holland’s Opus — with touches of To Sir with Love — offers loads of sentiment, some classical music (violinists Isaac Stern, Itzhak Perlman, and Mark O’Connor appear as themselves), plenty of bad pop tunes, and a superb performance by Meryl Streep, as a teacher dedicated to the cause of maintaining classical arts as part of the public school curriculum.
There is much to carp about Music of the Heart, from the misuse of Angela Bassett’s considerable talents to the overabundance of obnoxious pop rhythms in a film that extols the immeasurable worth of classical music.

But when Meryl Streep is on screen, nothing else matters.

Not the cornball sequence in which she must audition for a job as a teacher; not the fact that the youths in her neighborhood are as threatening as the Our Gang kids; or even the miscalculation (in terms of dramatic coherence) of having a much too sympathetic actress portray a character — inspired by real-life music teacher Roberta Guaspari — who could at best be described as challenging. In fact, Streep’s Roberta is so eccentrically likable that when her students complain to their parents about her rudeness, they come across as whiny little wimps.
A master at conveying thoughts and emotions by means of a surreptitious look or a slight variation in her tone, Streep single-handedly holds together Music of the Heart. Aidan Quinn provides solid support in his few on-screen moments, but the movie truly belongs to its star. The multiple award-winning actress makes every intonation, every action, every reaction seem effortless and perfectly natural, invariably delivering her well-rehearsed lines as if they had just popped in her head. The mechanics of her acting technique are there, but they are like invisible strings that each time put her right on the mark.
Craven realizes that Streep is the heart and soul of his film. Thus, his camera lingers on the actress, allowing her to dominate nearly every scene. Very few performers could have managed to carry an old-fashioned sudser like Music of the Heart for more than two hours,

but Meryl Streep can — and DOES.

I cried...

♥ CHOOSING CLOTHES

Are you one of the thousands of people who eagerly

follow every new fashion that appears?
Or are you one of those who go to the shops and just

buy whatever they can find in their size that suits them?
Or perhaps you order from a mail-orde catalogue,

and then have to send everything back because nothing fits?
Whatever kind of shopper you are,

ONE THING IS CERTAIN.....
Everyone finds clothes really important.
Accoring to a recent survey, people spend more

time either buying clothes, or thinking about
buying them, or looking at them in shop windows -

than they do on most other products, apart from food.
And the reason is obvious.
Clothes are an important part of our appearance.
At work - you may need to impress a customer, or persuade

the boss that you know what you are doing,

and clothes certainly help.

Well-dressed people, so they say, get on in the world.
And as far as attracting the opposite sex is concerned,

clothes also play a vital role.
If a friend who has been wearing the same old jacket or

the same ol dress suddenly appears in the latest fasion,

you can be sure that romance is in the air. And apart from

work and romance, there are the influences of sport,

music and leisure in the way we dress.
So excuse me while I put on my apron and training shoes.

I'm just dashing off for some fast
window-shopping.

One of the ways to stretch your family budget

(besides shopping at thrift, secondhand, or consignment shops)

is to sew the things you can so that you are not needlessly spending extra money---

even if your financial situation appears prosperous.

If you do not yet know how to sew, then talk to one of the ladies

at the fabric store and tell her of your desire to learn to sew...

LOOK here:

http://seworganized.net/index.shtml

If you are a little more experienced ---

and I don't mean a "pro" seamstress,

you can branch out to making new projects for your home...

Dresses, skirts, blouses, lap quilts, wall hangings, appliance covers, table clothes,

curtains & draperies, bedskirts, quilts... and so on!

Fresh curtains or new pillows give a room a whole new look and are so,

so easy to do!

QUEEN ELIZABETH IS IN TURKEY

Turkey ready for historic Queen visit

Contrary to expectations, the British royalty's rules

are not that rigid and the Queen’s request was only for

sticking to times stated in the program, say Turkish sources.

President Gül is expected to wear a black tuxedo

at a state banquet in honor of the Queen.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will begin

a historic visit to Turkey today for the first time since 1971,

with any misperceptions about rigid protocol procedures

having being cast aside.

IN SPRING

*TOUCH THE SKIES*

Hot air balloon and kite festivals are held annually throughout the year and give a chance for balloonist to participate in balloon races and display their balloons during evening balloon glows, and for the public to participate in the spectacle of many balloons gathered in one spot and to learn about the sport. Albuquerque’s International Balloon Fiesta is the largest hot air balloon festival in the world and includes over 700 balloons representing many states and 22 countries.

Kite Buggying or Parakarting

is a fast growing sport that is great fun; it harnesses the power of the wind to propel a ‘pilot’ in a three-wheeled buggy using powerful ‘traction’ kites. The kite buggy is a light, purpose-built vehicle, it is single-seated and has one steerable front wheel and two fixed rear wheels. The driver sits in the seat located in the middle of the vehicle and accelerates and slows down by applying steering manoeuvres in coordination with flying manoeuvres of the kite.Kite Buggying can be practiced in any open area of ground such as large fields and airfields, however the best place to go is the beaches where the surface is usually flatter, smoother and the wind is stronger and more consistent. Buggy speeds of double the speed of the wind are common.

HERE IS MY LAST PROJECT FOR THIS SUMMER...

My Progressive Report:

Too Slowly, why?

You got it ???

HANDBAGS...

I knitted this handbag with flat-wide and velveting yarns.
Loops must be multiples of 10. 50-60 + 2 loops were enough for me.
Every two lines you'll change the yarns.
For the security of this handbag

I sewed a zip and I chose wooden handles
to carry it. I hope you'll like it then decide to try one for yourself.

Take it easy !
