Salve ,
La nostra vita è cambiata!!!!
e anche tanto....
a settembre abbiamo deciso di cominciare con l'educazione parentale (homeschooling) con le ultime 2 figlie (8 e 10 anni).
Cosa ci ha portato ad una decisione cosi radicale?
Non lo so dire con precisione. Secondo me è una serie di eventi, problemi, idee, conoscenze che abbiamo incontrati negli ultimi 3 anni.
Anche se la decisione finale alla fine l'abbiamo presi in pocchissimi giorni.
ed ora bisogna remare....
mi piacerebbe (so che è stato quasi un anno che ho abbandonato il mio blog) condividere ora non solo cose cucite e fatte a mano ma principalmente il nostro nuovo percorso del 'imparare in un altra maniera'.
Prossimamente metterò un pò di foto con il nostro materiale fai da te Montessori con il quale abbiamo cominciato a lavorare da poco.
buon avvento
hi ,
our lifes changed.. very much....
since september we decided to make homeschooling with 2 of our 3 girls.
what have us brought to such decision?
I don't  know exactly. I think there was not only one thing but a series of events, problems, ideas, notions that we meet in the last 3 years.
our final decision is very clear.
I'd like to share our experiences on this new way of learnig.
next days i'll make some fotos from our Montessori-DIY material with wich we work at the moment.
have a good time.

february- still in hibernation

hi to all.
a month passed by and there are so much things Ihave done... but not so much to show up.
first we had Emilias 14. birthday. She invited some of her friends and we had a great party with exilarant games we played...... had a good time together. A thing that not happened so much in the last weeks.... difficult times for our teenie, with such horrible parents.....smile
and she like the minions sooooooo much...(I tried my best)

Then Imade a little present for my nephew. a pencilcase with 3 zippers taken from a quilters table that I like very much. An pleasant and easy and funny work for some ours to relax.

then I spend some days or better evenings to renew the orchid-baskets that fall apart. A lot of hard work... but it looks so good now and Im proud of my orchids ...they are still alive after this removal. Thanks to them!

Down you see one of my next projekts. My little newborn plants for the new gardenseason coming.
cucumbers,zucchini e pumpkins are allready kids, tomatoes and peperoni are still newborn. They need more time to grow up. Outside it's still cold and I have to be more patience.. we will see

 These are some clothes I repare for some friends f mine.

 These are the first 2 bags from a series I'd like to make for a friend who makes her own bread and sometimes she make some for us too. Beceause I had to practise color-combination I will try these little projekts.

The next fotos are my workinprogress(WIP) I started already a year ago... turtles- it's all about MOTHER. so, my creative work always envolved my whole being and the themes that came up are working with and through me. Interesting thing!! Last week Iwent to a' Mama-party' from a friend where some mothers with little kids meet and talked and ate (necci with ricotta-oh, they where soo good)together. So we talked about being a mom from a little one and all these things and that remembers me how it was for me: god and bad, funny and hard, glorious and overwhelming when ours where little. Now they are older and they have other problems and items to resolve, so I start to forget how it was.  I can see all these things that I have managed good and all that I failed and all that I couldn't even see. I will use these afternoons to learn to forgive myself, to apreciate what Ihave done, to let go , to regain (if its possible) and to change myself in a better way...

This month I also started the traslation from italian to german of a new website from friends
la filanda- the spinning mill
its  a great new work where I learn very much about web-sites.
It's a lot of time and work shure, but worth.
So if you  come around the Toscana for some reasons ... its worth to visit.

Last but not least.....I'm reading the book from  gretchen rubin and I like her so much. she is so funny and so onest and helps me to see clear and invites me to be more honest with myself. So i started to think about my happienes. Idon't know where it leads but there are changes in promising.
thats all for today-tonight.
I think it's easier to writhe once a week 1 our then once a month 3 ours. I will become better.....I promise
have a good time
Claudia

anno 2014

hi to all,
it starts a new year and I have new purposes for me and my life.
the most important challenge for this year is to be happy! I want to be more happy with myself, my family and my life. that means for me: simplicity in my projects, work and all things I do, balance between work and play and rest and!!!! fun.....
Ibought the book from Gretchen Rubin, the happieness project and I will see what does it makes with me in this very new year.
the second one: to be more visible, to not hide me any more and not feel overwhelmed from my fears if i'll be(more visible).
this means: to post one time at a week here in my blog and create(or sew) almost one thing at a week.
to show here.
the third one: open my heart and to make grow my love and to show it to all my relations.
at the moment I have e no idea how I can realize all this but I will start today and step by step become better and better...
buon anno nuovo
Claudia

salve a tutti
è iniziato un nuovo anno ed io mi sono posto nuovi propositi.
specialmente per me stessa.
La più importante sfida di quest'anno sarà di andare avanti nel mio percorso di gioia e felicità.
Voglio essere felice!!!! e anche tanto!!
Voglio gioire con la mia famiglia, con i miei amici e con me stessa.
Il che vuol dire: semplicità nelle cose e nei progetti, equilibrio fra lavoro e gioco, divertimento nelle cose che faccio .
Mi sono comprato il libro: progetto felicità di Gretchen Rubin e vediamo che cambiamenti mi porta.
La seconda sfida quest'anno sarà: voglio diventare visibile e non avere paura di esserlo.
Vuol dire postare almeno una volta ogni settimana qualcosa nel mio blog e creare e/o cucire almeno una volta alla settimana qualcosa da fare vedere.
La terza sfida: aprire il mio cuore ed aumentare la capacità di amare ed esprimere questo amore alle persone che mi stanno vicino.
ancora non so come posso realizzare queste cose nella mia vita quotidiana e nelle piccole cose ma ci riuscirò in qualche maniera facendo un passo alla volta.
buon anno nuovo a tutti voi...
Claudia
