Wedding Invitations

Hi Everybody!

We had a very fizzy nigth, with an earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale! Today in the afternoon another one measuring 5.1... Stop it please!   

I told you I will post my wedding invitations, I think it's time to do it : 

I made 3 cards, one for the ceremony, one for the restaurant (very simple, not showed) and one for the confirmation (well, our guests can simply send us a mail  but it was funny :-) )

To make the white and red part I used a "magic powder" :

First of all I put the glue on the card with a  in - relief silicone mould

Then I put on the glue, the powder 

Then I heated up (?) the mix of glue and powder with a special dryer in the shape of a pen and voilà ! 

Do you like our recycled paper invitations? 

I wish you a wonderful week! 

See you soon (well, I hope soon) 

Kisses from Italy :-) 

Nuovo netbook, nuova custodia !

Buongiorno! 
I finished my new project, in my last post it was not sewed, then yesterday I bought this button (incredibly the only coloured button I found and they cost 0,60 euro per button -too much-) and this morning I'm ready to show you the sleeve for my new netbook ! 

I hope you like it, I'm so proud of my work! 

And for the future, I decided to buy buttons from The Button Company , they are wonderful!

Have a good weekend, see you soon! 

Good morning dears!
I hope you had a nice Easter and Easter holidays with family and friends. We went to Dvd parent's house and we took advantage of holidays to make some preparations for the wedding (to book hotels for our guests etc).
On Monday and yesterday I made something new :

What do you think about my new project? Can you imagine what i'm doing?

I like it very much ! I think it is soooo funny with all this colours and it will be very very useful !

Good morning dears!
how are you?
Here in Italy it's rainy today, I don't like rain but I love to sleep with the sound of rain in the background.
Well I like to sleep but Totoro prefers to wake me up every morning between 6.00 and 6.30 (5.30 this morning) ..I don't know what to do to stop my cat alarm clock!
Yesterday my pc died, it had some problems with battery, but Dvd says the real problem is that the hard disk is broken..so no way to save it. All the pattern I saved in 3 years are gone..God bless Raverly! Fortunately all the pictures of our life are in the other hard disk (the outside one) and in the pc of Dvd. Today Dvd will bring me to the shop to buy another one netbook (God bless Dvd!)
I wish you happy and paceful  Easter with your friends and family!
Have a nice weekend!
See you ASAP!

Schock

Last July we chose the restaurant for the wedding. We chose it in July, more than one year before the wedding because we have lot of guests that come from Europe, and we wanted they could book the flight without spending a fortune. Last Monday I called to the restaurant to be sure all the things are ok, and to make an appointment to decide details. They said, yes, no problems.
Then on Sunday (same week I called them), they called me to say "there is a little problem".
For me a little problem is something like, "I write your name without a letter", NOT "WE SOLD THE DATE OF YOUR WEDDING TO ANOTHER COUPLE". They make this "mistake" on December, and they said it to me only now, in March, 4 months before wedding, only because I called them.
They said, "Sorry but, we lost your phone number" and other stupid things.
I don't know what people say in English for this kind of things, but, I have no words.
Fortunately our wedding is on Saturday, and we found immediately another restaurant, but if the wedding was on Sunday, no way to find another restaurant. No way.
They say to me " You can change the date of the wedding, so you can come here!"....Yes, of course!
We never get bored .__.

Wedding in Progress

When Dvd asked me to merry him *.* ( my friend Giulia says that Dvd is the last man of a line extinct by now) , I was so happy and excited and happy that I bought all the wedding magazine like Vogue Sposa (= bride) that I could find. In one of these magazines I found the review of  this book : "Handmade Weddings" . I decided to buy it immediately. We falled in love with a kind of wedding invitation we found in this book and as soon as possible I will show you them.
We had lots of idea about arrangement, then my mother tried to make some flowers with plastic bottles and some others with tissue paper : they are wonderful so we decided to base our wedding on recycle.
We bought recycled paper to make the invitation card and after several tests, we are almost sure they are perfect (well, perfect for us, you can approve or reject them!) .
Now, voilà some of the fowers my mom has just made :

It's a little bit difficult to understand how they are made with picture, but I like them very much!
What do you think about them?
See you soon with big news :-)

And now 7 things about me:

1. When I have to write something about me, I never know what to write. 
2. I love when in March we (Dvd and I) go away to spent some days in a foreign country, far from work and study, this March we will go to Tallinn. 
3. When I was a child sometimes during the night I asked my father to bring me a glass of water and he brought it to me imediately. Now when I come back home, sometimes during the night I ask my father to bring me a glass of water, and even if I'm not a child anymore and I think he should say to me "hop hop! you can take it with your hands!", he brought me a glass of water  imediately. Lovely Daddy. 
4. When I met Dvd four years ago, I lived with other 3 girls that I met to the University and we were all friends. When Dvd went to our house, and I was in the kitchen with the other girls or maybe to the toilet, sometimes he put under my pillow a vintage postcard where he wrote Pablo Neruda's love poetry. When I went to bed..ta-dah! surprise! 
5. I can remember all the things I heard and watch in a movie that I saw years and years ago, but I have difficulty to remember things I have to study for my exams.
6. Since I was 16 or 17 I was so shy that I wasn't able to walk head-high (?) . 
7. I'm proud of me because once I thought I would never be able to do nothing, for example cooking, sewing, knitting, crocheting, and I discover I can do all this things and also other more (eheh..self-esteem where were you??)
