my first sewing project: lavender sachets

and that's my first sewing project! i'm so proud of it! it's a long time since i asked my mom to teach me to sew... ok, we're still far from create clothes or puppets for my zoeti, but you have to start somewhere right?!

i collected some lavender in september and let it dry in a cold and dark place. i almost forgot about it when i opened the place where it was! i simply love lavender's smell and in order to keep the house the greenest as possible i decided to use it to make some lavender sachets. and that's the sewing part!

now our closets smells right like a green field in september... so dreamy!

2# book review

that's the time of a famous polish journalist and writer: Ryszard Kapuściński. i've read Ebano (the english title is "The shadow of the sun").  

it'a a portrait of Africa throughout 40 years; from Ethiopia, to Rwanda, from north to south. every chapter is a story itself, not only of history or landscapes, but of people and way of life.
the idea that you keep in mind when you finish the book is how everything is hot, the difficulty of even breathing, the harshness of life, the feeling that they have to do something (but what?), the dreaming of a new life, the desert and the jungle...

i've been only to south africa, so i've never really seen the real wild one, but when you finish this book you can almost feel and remember the places...

according to my iphone...

this week i've cooked a lot.... risotto with apples, chicken stuffed with ricotta, pine nuts and basil, baked rainbow trout with tomatoes... we're playing with the potty (not actually training zoeti, but just let her taking confidence) and learned to keep our shoes in order (right zoeti?!)

i have made also pizza but we... forgot to take pictures before eating!

♥+♥= ♥ AND ....♥

we have a secret to tell...

baby # 2 is coming!

we're so over the moon with excitement! the first months were not that easy: no morning sickness, but afternoon and evening!! but now i'm enjoying the 13th week and i feel... wonderfully! we had the first ultrasound: he or she seems perfectly healty and we can start dreaming about this new adventure with more conviction!

we love you already so much, little wonder, and i'm so curious to see how your face is, if you'll be like your little sister, and above all see you two playing together and have fun together! i'm only child so seeing the siblings relationship is something new and exciting for me!
