So many babies just arrived or on the way...so sweet! So I take this chance to use the old flannel duvet cover: it is actually almost new, but it was definitely too warmfor our bed. It had the honour of becoming a set of washable breastpads and baby wipes... it's a great experience I had myself as on old set of bed sheets ad a few pijamas (all made of flannel) were my first attempt, during the second pregnancy. I am still using the wipes and the breastpads just passed to my friend that is suffering as much as I did during the first few weeks of breastfeeding. Hold on Lucy, after a little time breastfeeding became a sweet and lovely time to spend with the little ones... So here is the little gift for Ilaria that just have to wait a few more days. I hope I'll be able to make some for the shop soon!

Babies on the way....

Maid of honour
Si comincia:
- album FABRIANO coi fogli grandi, carta di qualità ma leggera abbastanza da rendere la rilegatura semplice una volta "riempite" le pagine. CE L'HO.
- una bella scatola riciclata, riempita con cartoncini, adesivi, immagini, tutto ovviamente senza acidi e lignina per durare per sempre, tutto in arrivo dalla mia mania per lo scrapbook scoppiata in America. Aggiungo anche una scatola nuova di pennarelli STABILO, per non lasciare niente al caso. PRONTA.
...e poi la parte difficile: quella di far girare la scatola tra amici e colleghi di sposo e sposa, libertà di espressione per tutti. E dopo poco più di un mese la raccolta delle pagine sorprende me per prima: colgo l'occasione per ringraziare tutti e complimentarmi: BRAVISSIMI. Chi ha attaccato foto di vecchie vacanze, lettere scritte in adoloscenza alla sposa, ricette, auguri, citazioni e poesie.... anche un mazzetto di fiori secchi!
Let's start:
- fabric shop in Arona, I see a wonderful and expensive fabric and the owner (a long time professional) tells me it's a double layer of silk, all crafted in Italy. BOUGHT.
- big drawing album from FABRIANO, paper of great quality but light and easy to bind once all pages have been "filled". GOT IT.
- a big recycled box filled with stickers, paper and cardstock, all acid and lignin free so that it will last forever. Everything comes from my scrapbook mania period, when I was in the States. I just add a brand new box of STABILO markers, to make sure everything is done in the right way. READY.
...and now the hardest part, making the box run among all bride's and groom's friends. And after a few weeks the collection of pages surprises me above all: GREAT WORK. All pages were filled with old letters from childhood, pictures of old vacations, recipes, postcards, poetry...even a bouquet of dried flowers!
All bound and delivered to the bride on the wedding evening. Result? Many tears, laughs and words I will never forget that worth more than a million compliments: "Mow, (as my friends call me) if I ever have to run out the house and leave evrything behind, that album would be the first thing I would grab and take with me!
