Ever since her husband Philip was not her husband but simply me 'sweetheart, we celebrated the Epiphany in the little house in the country of my family.
recruited in rotation a couple of friends and the day before, armed with shopping bags and we are in our little hut, with stockings and well hidden in the bottom of the suitcase, ready to jump out in the middle of the night and lie down in front of the fireplace.
It seemed a very romantic ritual that turned this event on a day of tenderness.
Every year I enjoyed the pack socks give, every year I try something new.
Some of the stockings in the years that I made for my love I have kept and still keep with care, remember that in a sense cancel out the time that has passed, we shared, and think now I realize that is a considerable time now ... ehhhhhh ... (sigh) ...
This is the first in 1995 (yes!), Made of felt with the basics of sewing ... and a lot of glue for applications. Tender, I see myself still there to cut out teddy bears and stars ...
In 1996 I had a phase "Elegant". Satin and blue velvet with embroidered name to cross-stitch. A chic.
We are at 1997 and I had to have mental problems ... patchwork of micro quilted squares. The sewing machine no longer had any secrets, I was a sewing-addicted! Maxi silver bells complete the work, and sorry if it is little!
phase begins "woolly". I need to test launch in the hook and not the annual sock escapes ... crochet here, crochet beyond escapes even the socks crocheted with a lot of micro Toppin granny.
We are at 1998 ...
Here we are at 1999. Even wool, perhaps unconscious need of softness and tenerumi? But since it is forbidden to repeat the hook is passed to knit with embroidery type ski sweater.
Warning. I had no idea how elastic socks made grilled: I remember having to fill the department schifumi robbed the supermarket!
The year 2000 has been lost. I remember a purification step by the trinket, which has paid a braided jute very spartan but very easy-chic ...
2001. We are still in a trend of simplicity but in which the color is king. Many of grosgrain ribbons sewn together and trousers that does this looks like a boot.
Then in August we got married ... and our hand made socks have become a sock bought (thankfully again!) to hang the fireplace in our nest. Evvabbè ...
This year we returned to our origins and place for stockings craft, prepared by my kids with a little help ... we had to draw Hello Kitty for Marge and Wall-e for Peter (in Peter's shoes if you agree recognize Eve closed and open in the box above, the central square in piattolina, Wall-and closed and opened with crab in the box below).
And this morning were these two socks full of sweets and junk-children were happy because there were no onions in a little charcoal, but you ...
This means that Ms Befana reads messages hanging from the chimney!
Befanina Thanks, you are very generous!
