After a year the first three crochet kits are finally available in my Etsy shop!Well, I started to plan this new project when I was 8 month pregnant, so I had to stop for a while to take care of me and Enea 😉And here we are: the filet baby blanket, the ripple pattern baby blanket and the cowl are… View Post
Napping like a pro with “The Grid” blanket by BastisRIKE
As soon as I became mom the most common advice I received was “sleep when the baby sleeps”.So, so true.If I don’t have extremely urgent deadlines, I always try to relax or nap in the afternoon, while Enea is sleeping. Couch or bed it doesn’t matter, for me the most important element is the blanket. It has to be big enough… View Post
Nordic Love #1 {vintage style} :: four real homes
Eccomi pronta sui blocchi di partenza, l’avventura Nordic Love ha ufficialmente inizio!E rompiamo il ghiaccio con un argomento molto caro allo stile nordico, il vintage.

DIY :: mint kitchen clock
After I posted few images of my kitchen on IG, I received a lot of questions about the mint clock.It’s a simple DIY! I bought this wall clock at Ikea a couple of months ago, because I liked the shape and the big numbers, although the metal frame was not my cup of tea.When I moved inside the small garden… View Post
Two new crochet bottle covers

The bottle cover {that has been very appreciated in the past years} is finally available! I made two different covers, you can find them here and here. Mentre mi stavo… View Post
A walk in the wood in pictures
Same wood, same black jeans and same season. Again a lovely sunday walk, Alberto and I plus one 😉We decided to take some pictures, I used the 50mm lens and the small travel tripod for the family portrait. Thank you Alberto for the pictures, what an improvement on manual mode! Stesso bosco, stessi jeans neri e stessa stagione. Ancora una volta… View Post
New lamp for the livingroom
A mistake I’ve made when we moved {after this one} is the ceiling lamp we have above the sitting area. Don’t get me wrong, I like the lamp, the material and the shape, but this room is too high for such a lamp. It’s perfect in a bathroom perhaps, or in a room with low ceiling, but not here. I… View Post

Indian teepee from Numero 74
When I was a child, one of my favorite game was to build a tent using old blankets and chairs as a base {I’m sure I’m not the only one!}.Later I also received a proper house-tent, with lots of decorations, a door and even a window. I remember it was my refuge, the perfect place to hide and play with… View Post
Crocheted baby wear
Be honest, aren’t these baby clothes super cute?I was looking for a nice pattern to make a winter sweater to Enea and I found this nice model in Ravelry. I modified it a bit, to make it more simple and I added a nice cloud with raindrops in different shades of blue.I was so happy about the result that I… View Post
