Namaskar India!

Just back from India... what a challenging experience!
I'm uploading some pics that might describe my feelings and impressions better than words.
We took 3 weeks to visit New Delhi, Jodhpur, McLeod Ganj/Dharamsala, Amritsar, and yet I know they've not been enough to get the idea of such a complex country.
Enjoy!

memories of Venice

Uh, one year already passed...

Two weeks ago I went to see my friend Fede now living in Barcelona and she has finally given me some pics of my time in Venice I still missed.

Mmmmhhhh.......

This makes me realizing how precious those moments have been to me, though they seem ages ago.

The free beach at the far west side of Lido....

The small (how small!) flat in calle san Lorenzo....

New stuff from Barcelona uploading soon

Roma

We've been to Rome for only one weekend and spent most if it eating... it was my cousin's wedding, in the end! Luckily we've been able to excape for one afternoon and spent some hours wandering around in the heat.

genova

Finally got to see my former room-mate in Genova, where she's living these months... we've got lost dozens of times in the narrow roads and this made us feeling exactly as we did when in Venice...

my last project - handmade skirt with embroiderings

This is my last project... just finished sewing this velvet skirt with embroidered leaves...
