I joined the contest Giuliana ( http://giuliana-dicuore.blogspot.com/ ) "My favorite corner" very happy because it gives us the chance to tell us and find out. In this regard, I wanted to say that I like to surround objects once they talk about their past, objects that have some special meaning for me and always linked to my story and that of people who are close to me. I live in an old country house, very country, and unfortunately share the same space with five other people, my husband, my little daughter and my in-laws, I have a real craftroom as many of you ... Sigh! What envy! Depending on the activity I dedicate it to use somewhere in the house: my daughter's desk or the kitchen table when sewing or painting the living room couch when embroidery, crochet KNIT or watching TV with the rest of the family. But there is one corner of the house that is only mine in which I take refuge when I want to see a little 'peace of ..... Now, with the assumption that digital is really denied and that the light in these dark days and rain is really horrible, here's my angle:
Yeah, ave guessed, it's my room read! This is my oasis of peace, I prefer reading and embroidery.
The armchair, very vintage, was part of the old living room of my in-laws, and as I vaguely remember the seats "Frau", and is very comfortable, I decided to put in this corner waiting for a future restailing .. ....... as I have not yet found the old tables that meet my tastes, I now use two tables with wicker ..... While the lamp I found at a flea market of old iron .....
The doll who sits blissfully spaparazzata on the back is the result of the first course I've done on the dolls, now ten years ago .......
The pillow is the fruit of a job of painting on silk that my daughter has done great in junior high, then I am still a beginner with sewing I assembled ...... despite its age, I can not discard it, I like its fresh colors and then is a reminder of my little (so to speak) woman ..... On the bedside table
other items dear to me .... I remember a shell of a trip to Lampedusa, a bearing received in one of my first trade, the book I'm reading (The Bookseller of Selinunte), and the new book of Vautier sea .......

into the tin (I love the tins), a gift from my friend Scottish (Scotland, another place I love), the embroidery threads, the last Pinta Lodge, a small tin box in needle holders, received by Milly exchange Provence, and the ever-present glasses ..... without them now I can not even thread the needle ......
While in the chair that I'm working on now, free of Marypoppins on a beautiful spring, the gap is given by Mariarosa for swap of August ......
colored linen cord (perhaps a little too light but it is the only one I found), DMC color "antique foncé bleu blanc d'hiver No. 930 and No. 3865), ready to embroider" Les 32 vents de Provence "... the idea is to make a pillow for a bit renew 'the seating of the boat .....
I thought to stitch on linen white (now that I've found out who stops me more ...) and as a red thread of DMC (150)
Il nuovo libro di Tilda che non potevo assolutamente perdere ..... e il nuovo libro di Isabelle Vautier .... è semplicemente meraviglioso....continuo a sfogliarlo, a leggere le poesie e i commenti, le foto ..... mi sembra di essere lì con lei sulla costa atlantica e respirare il profumo dell'oceano ...
