With a little help from my friends

Yesterday, I received this present.

Ieri ho ricevuto questo regalo.




Grazie, Tiziana! E grazie a chi verrà a trovarmi :)

Guest artist and parental concerns

Every now and then I am worried that my daughter (Lucrezia, almost 10) is watching a bit too much TV and that she might lose her creative spirit.
Then, between two cartoon marathons, she says: "I want to make something with the pyrograph" and she makes this:



and I sigh with relief.

Received! Part 6 (The End)

I waited before posting these, because I wanted to post the last 3 postcards all together. But the 10th never arrived. So here they are, the beautiful works by Sara (? can't read the name)



and Sally



Thank you!

Received! Part 5

I received this postcard from Zarah. She also wrote kind words on the back. My daughter loves rain, so she immediately chose this one as her favourite.
Actually, I like all of them.

Received! Part 4

Every day a new treat!
This one is by Jennifer .




I love how the postcards I am receiving are all different, but complementing each other.
They are currently being displayed on my fridge. I hope they will distract me from eating snacks and chocolate at night...

Received! Part 3

The right encouragement at the right time!

Collaborative contribution...

...from my daughter (9). She painted this tree, a little batik made with the colors my sister brought her from Malaysia.

We painted together a couple of weeks ago to decorate a little corner of our home with the colours of autumn. It was a perfect moment, one of those I will treasure forever. My children, the trees, the bright autumn colors give me the strength I need in this difficult period.
