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
