Piano.

Suona piano

Forte

Piano.

Suona; sento

Il suono, denso

Esce e scalpita nel vento

Poi fugge via lento

Morente contento

E sfuma il momento

Di sentimento.

Happy New Year in advance to all.. I'm off to France soon!

Katherine, Katherine!

Nothing for me is more inspiring than Katherine Mansfield's writing.
Nulla mi ispira di più alla scrittura di Katherine.. le sue poesie, i rintocchi delle sue parole sono unici!



Camomile Tea

Outside the sky is light with stars;
There's a hollow roaring from the sea.
And, alas! for the little almond flowers,
The wind is shaking the almond tree.
How little I thought, a year ago,
In the horrible cottage upon the Lee
That he and I should be sitting so
And sipping a cup of camomile tea.
Light as feathers the witches fly,
The horn of the moon is plain to see;
By a firefly under a jonquil flower
A goblin toasts a bumble-bee.
We might be fifty, we might be five,
So snug, so compact, so wise are we!
Under the kitchen-table leg
My knee is pressing against his knee.
Our shutters are shut, the fire is low,
The tap is dripping peacefully;
The saucepan shadows on the wall
Are black and round and plain to see.
Katherine Mansfield

My Crafty Friday

I don't have pierced ears but all my friends do and I am having the most fun making them all a pair of Glowing Sprinkles for Christmas!

I'm experimenting brooch making (see above and below) Felt flowers and vintage button arrangements!

..and Octopussy retired from my cell phone.

I made a quick Xmas tree with felt scraps and tiny beads.

All this I managed yesterday after dinner when the rain was pouring and the cold was roaring.

Have a great weekend.

Mine will be spent on books and hopefully an evening outing with friends too..

But only if I get lots of studying done will I venture in other arts.

Love

Weekend Craft Craziness

Little owl tags for my give-away-as-gifts crafts!

:)

Then I put together two little Cake and Cookie Decorating Kits for two dear friends that like to bake and decorate. I think the small bottles are especially cute! I was hoping to find a better container to fit them in but in the end i think the one i found works well.. I personalized it too as you can see..

I hope to update sooner this week.. uni is getting me real busy! AGAIN! 8)
