A skirt for me

Last week I sewed my first garment. I found a pattern from the adorable and talented Jenny Gordy - I adore her work and her ability to communicate the love for sewing. I loved every step of the making and I'm happy I was able to stay concentrate throughout the whole process. The result is a comfy, girly and "goes well with everything" skirt. Next step? Another Wiksten pattern!

At the chocolate fair

This morning, after a long walk by the sun, we went to a local Chocolate fair. It was great to be surrounded by all this sweetness! Another way to celebrate handmade creations. I hope your Sunday was great as well.

The invisible children

Please take a little time of your day to watch this. It's a strong, emotional and well done short movie. It's about children. It's - above all - the power we have to save them. Let's make it.

In the kitchen

We spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Big Bear loves to cook and so do I, and working from home for the most part of the week, we can treat ourselves with homemade cooking. I'm trying to figure out new ways to cook vegetables, since we eat a loot of them and I don't like to be repetitive.

On another note, I have to learn how to take food photos - and I must remember to take them before we eat everything!

What are you cooking these days?

Sun & Moon

Did you look up to the sky the last two days? The Moon, Venus and Jupiter were highly visible. I loved the look of Moon and Venus together, next to each other.

And during the day the Sun is shining like in July, giving us a needed energy boost.

Happiness is...

...finding out that the fabulous vintage curtain I bought for just 2€ fits the window without the need for adjustments.

"Happiness is" significa "Felicità è...".

Lately

Some shots from my camera. Since last week there was a lot of snow here. Now it feels like Spring - quite destabilizing weather, but we're enjoying it anyway. We have some new friends, pattering around and happy for the breadcrumbs we leave for them. I'm working hard to prepare my lessons (I have a new class this year). We try to enjoy everyday in a simple way. Take care you all.
p.s. Happy happy birthday to my loved papà!
