Excuses / Part Two

Staying in Venice is quite expensive - so we prefer staying in Padua (ital.: Padova)... a city with a really nice old city center. It´s quite medieval - when strolling through the streets of the ancient city center I sometimes expect Romeo and Juliet coming around the corner... ok, Padua is not Verona, but the feeling is the same :-)

Unfortunately we always "forget" to make some pictures there... don´t know, why.

Here´s one of the beautiful old houses - my aunt in the front...

It´s taken with a small "point&shoot digi cam", so please neglect the poor quality.

A main reason for coming to Italy is to enjoy life - La dolce vita, as the Italians say... and we try our best:

... an indoor pic from our favourite enoteca in the city... to avoid misunderstandings: these were not all for me :-) only the glass rightmost!!

And they have very delicious food there:

Thanks for visiting!

PS: I tried to make some cameos with my Mold Muse molds lately - I even tried to do them bicolored - and I think they came out quite well with Fimo/Sculpey ... I love these molds - they´re first class quality!

Home Decor Challenge in the Moxie Fab World

Since I´ve started crafting it´s impossible for me to give anything away without jazzing it up…!


When I bought this stick (for flower pots), this duck was just plain black. So I wondered if this sweetie wouldn´t be even cuter with a rhinestone-eye and some white swirls stamped on her body… what do you think?!

Isn´t this duckie twice as sweet now?!

This flower pot stick 

1) was a little gift for my parents – together with some fresh herbs from our garden…

2) is my entry for http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2011/04/350-cards-gifts-week-home-decor.html
