"At the pub on the crossroad...."


This is one of my cross stitch works and actually it was the first that I "designed" by myself. Or, better it's a mix-and-match chart which I created.
The pint was taken by a kit that I bought at Belfast airport last June. The verse is taken from a song called "Drink it up" (LOL!) and it's one of my favourite Irish songs, and I created the chart for it. Then, in the end, I added the 2 shamrocks under the pint. I used Crescent Colors floss for that. Black coffee was perfect for the beer's colour! There was DMC black 310 in the kit, but it wasn't the real Guinness colour...so, I have found the right one! What do you think about it?
Bye and..cheers! (Slainte in Irish Gaelic!)


The first post!

...this is my first post...so what can I say? I am an Italian girl, interested in so many things that I want you to discover with my posts...so, please, come back soon and share my life with me!

For today...it's Halloween! Maybe you don't know that Halloween is an old celtic celebration, which was called Samhain. So, Halloween is not american, but Irish rooted!

All for now...but I will come back soon! :)
