Hello!
Two good things happened in the past few days: 1) We found a new beautiful home and 2) I got the job I interviewed for :)
Anyway, this is not what I wanted to talk about today, today I will show you my new, beautiful handmade scarves.
These beauties are handmade with 100% Italian wool of an amazing quality. They are warm and fluffy for the cold days still to come. Judge for yourself :)
They have a felt embellishment as closure and the colours are just beautiful.
The closure of the first scarf pictured is a magnet while the other two closures work like a button.
These beauties are on sale for £25, send me a private message if you want one, I could make one with the colours you want :)
Enjoy the rest of the week! I will spend it packing,
Hello everyone!
It's Friday and I am over the moon for many reasons: first of all, today was my last day at the cafe, I am finally going to start a proper job in April!
Second of all :) I am going to Italy on Sunday! It's going to be great, I can't wait to leave this grey, cold and horrible weather! It snowed for 10 minutes this morning and now the sky is hopelessly grey, windy and freezing.
Yes, spring started, even tough it really doesn't look like it did....but I am full of hope, hope that when I will be back from Italy, the sky will be blue over London, I really can't take this anymore.
Here's what I would say if it was sunny as it is supposed to be, plus some random images that I like and that are saved on my desktop.
I hope you are having a great weekend, wherever you are :)

Hello everyone!
I am so sorry for this long silence...my sewing machine is broken :( I can't sew and I have so many ideas and so much fabric to use!
I went to Prague two weeks ago and I bought a lot of fabric, so beautiful and sooo cheap!
I bought it in this shop, it's called flex-tex, it's in Prague 7 and they have so much stuff there, I didn't know where to start from! The medium price for one meter of fabric is 100CZK which means €4 or £3.3. Can you believe it? And they also have zippers, buttons and everything you can think of if you sew.
I think they do online orders, but I am not sure whether they ship abroad or not.
Anyway, I received a package from Italy, sent by my mum <3
She sent me few new scarves made by her, so beautiful. I was tempted to keep them for me, but what would I do with 5 scarves? So, they could be yours if you like them!
They are 100% handmade and 100% fine quality Italian wool. Very soft and very warm for this winter that seems endless!
Here some pictures for you!
So, these are the new scarves, but we (my mum and I) accept orders, if you have a favourite colour, we can make a scarf just for you! They are on sale, £25, drop me a private message :)
I hope you're haveing a great weekend, I really need to rest after a week of very early mornings! What are you going to do? I will have a couple of lessons - I also teach Italian privately - and maybe meet a friend in Covent Garden.
Well, enjoy the rest of the weekend then and I promise I won't wait too long before posting again!

Hello everyone!
For the first time I am going to post something that has not been made by my own hands.
These beautiful handmade woolen scrves are made by my amazing mum, who can make one in just few hours. I am going to learn how to do it myself, as I like to make everything, but you must be patience because it's gonna take a while...
Here's the pictures. These are on sale £30, and there will soon be many more colours! Just drop me a private message or leave a comment :)
The stitch that my mum used is called "the butterfly stitch". I wish I could help more in explaining how to do it or whatever other question you might have, but I really have no idea how is this made. I still think it's a bit magic.
And finally my favourite one, the one that my mum gave to me the day before my graduation, on the 20th of November. Useless to say, I have been using it every day ever since....it's comfortable and warm, and you don't need to find a place to stick the sides as in a normal scarf (I always struggle and end up with a long woolen piece of scarf hanging from one side...and I hate it!!).
I hope you're having a lovely weekend :)
