shopping time

sales... sales.... sales.... shopping for me is a slippery slope: if i don't find something in the early 10 minutes my mood becomes very very bad! and get even worst if who comes with me buy something while i'm still looking! i know... i'm a very complicate person! but the last weekend i've surprised even myself: i spent two entirely days trying clothes and shoes and actually finding something that i like!

That's the result... and i've not finished yet!

Happy New Year!!

our new years eve wasn't as i expected... my husband got fever so we not only staied at home, but we didnt' have anything special for dinner... We are planning to have an alternative new years eve in one week!

Anyway i made this little work to celebrate the new year...

 I started making the letters

then i've cut them..

Ok... maybe it's not my cup of tea... but i'm trying!

the beginning of the end... of the year!

That's the sweetest way to begin every day: pancakes, maple sirup, orange juice, coffee and my two loves!

The perfect way to begin the last day of my best year ever!

Happy New Years Eve, everybody! :)

hearts: completed! :)

that's the result of my ceramic work... i'm proud of them even if the color hasn't filled the whole hearts. i was undecided between red and white for a very long time and now my hearts have them both! perfect!!

i want to make more hearts soon... for next christmas... i love them!

christmas presents...

I found this original and ecological idea for presents... It's easy to make (if even I can do it you can believe me!) and the outcome is very nice!


you have just to cut some pages in stripes of 2 cm (i've chosen a very fashion one) and make 2 propellers

 and then create the bow...

 and that's the result!

I'm proud of that!!

Christmas time...

yesterday we made the christmas tree... finally a big one! now that we have zoeti we need a real one, not the pink -10cm tall that we had until last year! we decided to started with a new tradition: every 8th december we'll prepare christmas decoration and cookies! we're looking forward to have a ... little help!

i made chocolate cookies and honey cookies. next time i'll made some classic gingerbread cookies! finger crossed! ;)

have a nice month everybody!

delicious appetizers

saturday evening some friends have come for dinner and these were the appetizers: brioches with salmon and cheese. easy to prepare and absolutely good!

you need puff pastry, smoked salmon, creamy cheese (philadelphia) and poppy seeds. cut the pastry in slices, put salmon and cheese on a side and roll. put some poppy seeds on the top and bake at 180° for 15 min.

enjoy!
