Let's sew?!

I never thought I'd enjoy sewing this much. After years of hearing my mom saying: -You should know how to sew! You're a fashion designer!
Although she was right, the truth was I always had people to put together my creations and never needed to  do it myself. But since Giulia was born, I've had this strong desire to sew some cute clothes for her and last month I finally decided to take my mom's advice and signed up for a sewing class. Guess what? I loved it!
So far I've made a skirt, an envelope pillow, and a lacy scarf.
Mom, I hope you're proud of me :-)

My first painting

My lovely hubby and I recently celebrated our 7th aniversary. It's amazing how fast time goes by. In these 7 years together, so many things have happened, -we moved houses 3 times, lived in 2 different countries, traveled around the world, and the best of all - we had our precious 2 year old daughter Giulia.
Ok, life is beautiful, let's talk about the gift.
I really wanted to give him something meaningful. So, I started thinking about our story, how we met each other, and then...Bing!...How about a painting?!
See below my first adventure in painting .
I couldn't be happier with the result. Especially because he loved it!!!
