Today's post not only is - again - random, but it is sponsored by the Italian Football team (soccer for you across the pond) after all the Football World Cup Final is coming up shortly and we wouldn't want you to start cheering for the wrong team, right? 

So lesson 1.  Let's looks at the colours of the Italian national Flag:

GREEN

 

green for the verdant grassy fields

 

WHITE

 

white for the snow capped Alps

 

RED

 

Red for the blood spilled by those who died defending their country.

BUT of course when it comes to sport Italy plays in 'sky blue'.  The colour of the  'Azzurri''s (the Blue Ones) distinctive shirt is enough to instil terror in the minds of football players all over the world - I'm playing a mind game here, stay with me.  It's kind of like a marketing campaign...)

And there you go, geography, sport, food, crochet and weaving... have a good weekend!

Love the plate weaving, what a good idea for the boys for rainy days or quiet time in the garden (not that they understand quiet at the moment)

I'm lovin all this randomness, its like you've opened your head and let the contents spill out - and I'm sure most of our 'heads' would be the same mix of randonmess!

T-towel looks great - you're surely not going to wipe anything with it, are you?

That crochet trim is so pretty and delicate. Love the plate weaving -- that's new to me!

Random posts make a blog much sweeter :)

Ha, you're so funny. At least your team has a decent chance of winning (all the more with your campaign) - down here we're just astounded we got in to the cup final at all, and scoring a goal against someone? Anyone? That would just be too much.

This is the only "football" article I have ever read, and the only time I've ever enjoyed football of any kind. Thank you ever so much for broadening my horizons!
