Our Christmas...

I hope everyone had very Merry Christmas. :-) We stayed cozy at home and simply enjoyed being together... I only wish it was snowing here, but no luck... :-) 

Here are some moments from our Christmas... 

And a family photo! Sophie was sleeping in her stroller. I was sick these days and wasn't feeling like taking family photos, it is always a big challenge for us... so at the end this is only picture of us all together from Christmas 2011... :-)

Opera House...

Last Sunday we went with children (for the first time) to Trieste's Opera House to a concert for children. Alexandre is big enough and is used to go to a theater and other public places, but about Sophie I was quite worried. The good news are - they didn't kick us out, which is already a lot! :-) Though she wanted to run and biggest part of the concert I had to stay with her in the corridors where she could run without disturbing anyone, while my little boy was staying alone and enjoying the concert, and seeing papa on the stage (did I mention my husband is a musician? yes, he is). I felt so bad I had to leave him, but I am glad he enjoyed it anyway. At least he could enjoy it! :-)
I hope you had a great weekend and did something fun too... :-)

Life lately...

                                                                                                                                             *I am wearing my Cocoon Snood. Love it!

* We put out our Christmas tree. It's magical! Our home looks much more cozy and children love it. When it is about Christmas I am very childish as well, and enjoy this time of the year as much as them.

* My little boy had his first piano lesson this week. It was so exciting! I think more for me than for him, but he really enjoyed it as well and now we have to organize his schedule for regular lessons.

* I almost finished buying presents for everybody... I really don't like to leave this for the last moment  (as I was always doing for the past few years, just because I never had time to plan and think about it in advance).

* We've been sick for a few days... and today was the first day we got out all together for a walk and I snapped a few photos. Though Sophie got asleep in her stroller and we decided not to bother her... :-)

* As I am already planning Christmas meal and found some delicious and fun recipes I am going to share them with you very soon.

* I almost finished a fun crochet tutorial (it will be available for free very soon).  

* Did you notice that now you can follow my blog by email? It just here on the right side bar. :-) It will help you to stay tuned and not to miss all interesting things I am planing for this month and for the future.

* Don't forget to vote (here) for the pattern you would like to buy on Monday with 50% discount.

* Have a great weekend! :-)

Autumn in (I wish I could say New York, but oh, well...) in Trieste!

We had the most beautiful weekend here! The weather was perfect! The colors were stunning! And we could simply enjoy each others company doing mainly nothing (but it is the best thing to do, right?! ). Here are some pics from our walks. I hope you had a great weekend too. 

Stay tuned - Monday's sale is coming very soon (it seems the Choco Set is winning, but if you want to change results, vote here)! :-) 

Sophie is wearing her faux fur scarf (the pattern available here) and the coat I wrote about here!
