Hi people!
It's been a while, isn't it? Mmeh I've been busy studying for the tons of exams I've to do *sighs*. 3 weeks are gone, 2 left, I can do it! I feel tired and I'd like this day to end to crawl in my confy bed and sleep until next month, but I still have a volley training to do today *headdesk*.
Sorry the negativity, it's just been a long day.. and it's not over yet xD
Anyway lately, more than ever, I noticed that a good distraction from all the numbers and the economic notions is the colorful and inspiring world of diy. I really feel refreshed every time I watch at my RSS reader! In particular I saw many posts on the various blogs I spy about new year resolutions and seems like the "get more organized" one is very popular.
Now, I won't tell you about the condition of my room, it's a shame, really, but right now I don't have the time to make things properly, so err.. I try to be careful and not step on anything ^__^"
But! I heard from my folks that they want to move my current closet in another room, replace it with a new one and add a dresser. This means more space for my craft supplies and for being actually organized! YAY!!
And, talking about organization, I gathered my favourite posts about the topic and I'd like to share them here.
Some ideas for the house..

2011 is over since a week already and, as everyone, I've been thinking about the just passed year. It's been.. weel, crazy, for many reasons but I managed to pick out my favourite moments..
1. the carpet of dead starfishes I saw walking on the beach the 1st January; 2. my family and I while celebrating my grandma's 70 birthday; 3. one of the first Ramen and Ravioli lunch with Alice.
4. the paper lanter night on the beach this summer; 5. Dir en grey live in Rimini; 6. the last vacation with my uncle! We managed to go to swim in front of Capri's stacks.
7. another R and R lunch with Alice, outdoor this time! 8. random night out with my friends; 9. trip to Geneva!
10. with my boyfriend at the comic convencion in Lucca; 11. a walk to a park near my place; 12. dinner at Alice's place, laughing for something with Max.
13. the awesome trip to the Solfatara, during these Christmas holidays; 14. hold my little newborn cousin Sofia

My Christmas roundup
Hi there everyone!
I said this before but the crafty awesomeness lately really is overwhelming, it makes you want to drop everything you're doing and sew, glue, cut and create. But! My family and I don't spend Christmas at home, we usually go back in Torre del Greco and we celebrate at my grandma's house, so it's pretty useless to decorate our home. We make the tree because it's a tradition and this year I had the "honour" to take care of it with my (chinese, who doesn't celebrate Christmas) boyfriend! XD
But I actually love Christmas-ish decorated houses, they look so warm and bright.. I got all excited and I saved tons of photos lately from various bloggers who shared their decorating skills. I'd like to show you my favourites, maybe they''ll be inspiring for you too!
1 and 2- A modern Christmas @ Sitting in a tree; 3- Christmas home tour 2011 @ Centsational girl; 4- Candy Christmas dessert table @ Shindig parties to go.


I saw this very interesting post about colours too: Color 101: the color wheel @ The 36th avenue. And, not Christmas related, but it's just too cool: Modern Alice in wonderland wedding @ Hostess with the mostess.

I'd focus..
Yo people! How's life?
Here it's cold and foggy but hey, who cares? Christmas is approacching, there is no time to be moody xD My Pinterest boards are exploding because of all the wonderful projects I see around lately.. inspiration overload! I'll go into a tailspin soon xD


What do you think? I love the One Piece image >: D !!
Last night I watched a live on TV: Coldplay live from London and it was love all over again with them <3 I mean, Chris was rolling himself on the floor covered in confetti! How can you not love him?!?!
"Major minus" from their last album "Mylo Xyloto" in my new current obsession xD :

I'll handmake the majority on my Christmas presents this year, I've already listed what I'm going to make for who. I'd also like to take care of the wrapping and do something nice to make everything more special and original.. I'd just like to have more time, I find it particularly difficult to concentrate on sewing lately, damn it D: FOCUS!!
Want to know what I'm working on also? No? Oh well, I'll tell you anyway.. I bought a little-size binder and I'm going to turn it in a recipe holder! As usual I made a draft to take note of the particulars (I'm kinda forgetful D: )

So basically I want to make a collage on the covers and envrap it with plastic so it won't get dirty, then find some cute food related paper to decorate the inside.
I flipped through my old anime/manga magazines to find some images and this is an initial idea:
