Made in Maberga






 David and Franco are making some potatoes....



Can you imagine how many potatoes will come from that plot?  Me neither.



Q made a new friend....



 The fig tree made butterflies, which of course are really leaves....



 I've made a couple of spring jackets (see!  I do actually knit, and sometimes even mention it here on this knitting blog).....


 Below is a grannysquare jacket I made while sitting with Ruffino in his last couple weeks.  It's just like him -- big and white, cozy and soft, and just a little bit over the top. I love it.

 (this picture also shows the mirror I made our of our front door)

We're making some corn!  Knee high by the 4th of July my ass!  I think we'll be EATING that on Independence Day.


 And some tomatoes.....



The patio made a lot of color.




 The grape vines are making grapes.



David is making bread, just a little.



 I've been making some painting sketches





 And remember the knitting needles I harvested from the olive trees?  Yep...they work like a charm for making a shawl....



These extra large needles are waiting for a project.


And they'll have to wait because tonight I'm making Mila's shawl.  (Thanks, Mila!  I love this pattern and the yarn! I'm not going to bed tonight until it's done!)


Made in Maberga.

  1. Beautiful pictures. I'm dreaming of Liguria right now. And I love your Ruffino-Cardigan! I also love your selfmade knitting needles, your fig-butterflies and so on. Of course... Looking forward to your shawl...
