When we arrived in May we found this Gecko in the bathroom!
Abruzzo is a wonderful region full of natural beauty and history. I hope my pictures and thoughts here will help everyone to appreciate it!

making jewellery
Lots of time recently to concentrate on making some 'upcycled jewellery' I've added these to my etsy shop.
The inspiration is endless once you get going with scraps of material.

I've also made some covers for A6 notebooks using these curtains with Bambi on them
These bracelets are made out of scraps

abruzzo dogs and flowers
Rex and Shelia (the post lady called the 2 abandoned puppies Billy and Shelia)outside the house.
No idea what variety this rose is but its still blooming against the side of an old ruin near us.It's wonderful to think when things were so bad years ago that someone planted a rose which did not produce food but looked beautiful!
The plaster behind the flower is lovely!It's an old earth chalk mix I think.

I've been updating my etsy shop with some new necklaces I've been making in between restringing yards and yards of beads this week for my customers.I love etsy and I've bought some lovely things from the shops there.Including some hand-made silver clasps that i used with the very old trade beads I've restrung recently.
Yesterday I went to a new carboot and got lots of upcycling goodies so I'm going to be making more things this week.I bought a very wonky suede belt that looks as if it will make several bracelets and necklaces!
