Patrick Swayze: Goodbye and Thank you!!!

Who can forget this beautiful guy?
Who can forget "Johnny" in Dirty Dancing?
Who can forget him in Ghost?
Surely...I can't...

You made me smile and made my cry, you were in lots of my teen ager dreams...
I remember when I was a teen and I went to the cinema with my friends to see you in Dirty Dancing...
I fell in love for you immediately like millions of other teen agers all around the world!

It's a sad day today and...it's hard to say you...Goodbye...

So...be sure...we'll never forget you Patrick and I would like to thank you for all the magical moments you gave us trough all your movies!!!!!

Goodbye...

I've got a new tool!!!!!

Hi to all!!!!
This is my new tool: a cyclette!!!!
Well...I added to this pic 2 nice pink frames hoping that in this way...the cyclette looks more nice and less...like a hard tool...
But...I'm not sure this will work...

I can also try to wear my pink sunglasses when I'll use it but...not sure those works too...LOL!!!

But...I have to convince my self that the sport is good for me and for my body...
OMMMMM...OMMMMM...OMMMM...I need to do cyclette...I need to do sport...OMMMM...OMMMMM...

Now...I'm almost 38 years old and I work like a part time secretary in the afternoon and in the morning I'm at home, doing housework, cooking and sewing...
It seems that I also love to stay sit down...for reading, for sewing...for playing with my computer...and...it's TRUE!!!!

But...I know that my body need a bit of help at this point...and...I'm not a "sport woman" for sure...

So...I tought that maybe the cyclette could be right for me...
Now...I'm watching at it and I'm trying to convince myself...
Not an easy thing for sure!!!! LOL!!!!!!

Does someone have some suggestions????
Thanks and have a nice day!!!!!

New weekly challenge: enchanted forest

Every week the Europeanstreetteam host a challenge between all the members!This week the host is Blue Terracotta that won last week challenge.

She chose the theme "The enchanted Forest" and this is my entry!

For to see all the other entries, please, go here.





I called it "In the middle of the forest" and you can find it in my shop!





It's a very cute canvas wristlet.


It has has a felt black unicorn and a cute little felt pink fairy appliquè on it.


I did the embroidery and the appliquè by hand


I've also added a nice lace on the top of the wristlet!


It's completely lined with a 100% cotton fabric, interfaced with a light medium interface for give it body and shape and well padded with a medium weight batting so it's perfect not only for your keys, lip balm, driver licence and all the little things you have in your big bag but also for your cell phone or ipod or camera!


It's closed with a matching zipper!


This is the perfect accessory for any romantic and "girly" girl and make a great gift!


It's about 8" long and 6" tall and the wrist strap is 7".


It has a really nice shape, not the classic squared or rectangular wristlet!

French windows

During our holidays in Provence this past summer, I took lots and lots of beautiful pics...
Provence is really amazing, full of wonderful colors everywhere!
But...the thing that was most eye catching for me were...the windows!!!
Well...the windows in Provence (mostly there but also in other French regions) are really gorgeous!!!
So colorful and with beautiful flowers displaied on them!
And the fun part is that all the turists are so interested in the windows and I bet that no one come home from France withouth a beautiful pic of at least 1 window!!! LOL!!!
Some times, in front of a nice window...I had to wait because there were lots of other turists that are taking pics...LOL!!!
Now...my question is:what the French people think about us turists that can wait also 10-15 minutes for take a pic of a theyr window???? LOL!!!!
If there is some French that is reading this post...I'd really love to read a comment...LOL!!!!
Thanks for reading!!!!
