<span style="font-size: large;">Appena terminato di lavorare a questa richiesta speciale, destinata ad una serra in stile Gustaviano a Roma. E ora mi attende un altro impegnativo lavoro: la camera da letto di una Signora, di ispirazione francese. Non è sempre facile entrare in sintonia con i desideri altrui, cercare di immaginare il loro mondo interiore, e tradurlo in realtà, ma provarci (e riuscirci) è una delle sfide più emozionanti che possano capitare! Dopo resta un incredibile senso di appagamento e soddisfazione, e quel pizzico di orgoglio che non guasta. <br />Perciò, rimbocchiamoci le maniche e al lavoro!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Il prossimo lavoro, già in itinere, sarà l'arredamento per una serra in stile Gustaviano: tanto azzurro, e tortora, e un tocco d'oro. <br />Poi dovrò dedicarmi a vuotare il Robin's Nest Cottage e spolverarlo da cima a fondo. A tale riguardo, mi piacerebbe sapere quali stratagemmi adottate per proteggere le vostre case delle bambole dall'odioso accumulo di polvere... Io dovrò decidermi a far realizzare una teca di plexiglass ma, chissà perchè, la cosa mi ripugna! Sotto un vetro, mi sembra una cosa morta...<br />Inoltre, sono molto concentrata su l'annuale Picnic Vittoriano <i>La Grande Jatte</i>, che ogni anno si svolge nella mia città, l'ultima domenica di maggio. Quest'anno indosserò una stupenda riproduzione di un modello del 1875 (bustle dress): sono in cerca di tutti gli accessori appropriati, ma non è facile, perchè sono una perfezionista e non mi accontento facilmente ;-)<br />Come sapete, non ho mai mostrato mie fotografie, ma sarò felice di fotografare il vestito, che merita davvero :-)</span></div>

I'll have to make up my mind to build a plexiglass case but, for some reason, the thing disgusts me! Under a glass, it seems to me a dead thing ...<br />Also, I'm very focused on the annual Victorian Picnic <i>La Grande Jatte,</i> which takes place every year in my city, the last Sunday of May. This year I will wear a beautiful reproduction of a 1875s bustle dress: I'm looking for all the right accessories, but it is not easy, because I am a perfectionist, as you know, and I'm not easily settle.<br />I will never show photos of myself, but I'll be happy to take pictures of the dress, which really deserves <span class="">:-)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ebbene sì: dopo lunga riflessione, ho deciso di esserci anche io!<br />In questi anni, ho sentito attribuire al noto social network ogni sorta di elogio o condanna, ma alla fine ho pensato che come tutti gli strumenti, esso deve servire a me, e non il contrario. Molti sono diventati schiavi (questo pensiero mi spaventava un po'), sempre appresso ai "mi piace" di persone le più disparate, come se l'apprezzamento degli altri diventasse l'unico mezzo per apprezzare sè stessi. Ma io non credo di essere tra questi: invece, ho pensato che questo potesse essere un modo ulteriore per condividere le cose che amo, e che mi fanno felice, con gli amici lontani. Perciò, chi ne avrà piacere, potrà da oggi dare uno sguardo anche qui:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In Italia, l'anno nuovo è cominciato all'insegna del cattivo tempo, giunto dopo un autunno a dir poco clemente, riguardo alle temperature. Poi, tutto ad un tratto, pioggia, freddo, grigio. Ma ogni casa era illuminata dalle luci del Natale, dal buon profumo di cannella e scorze d'arancia, e riscaldata dal tepore delle riunioni familiari. C'è stata l'occasione per incontrare qualche amico, o trascorrere il pomeriggio a leggere un buon libro di fronte ad una fumante tazza (tè, caffè, cioccolata... io non mi sono fatta mancare nulla!). </span></div>

Trascorro ore ed ore in solitudine ed in silenzio, esclusivamente concentrata sulla realizzazione di un pezzo, ed alla fine, è come se avessi impresso un poco di me in una piccola sedia o tra le lenzuola stropicciate di un letto per le bambole...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So di avere promesso spesso, negli ultimi anni, di tornare a praticare il blog con maggiore assiduità, ma il mio ruolo di mamma, moglie, figlia, amica, sembra voler occupare ogni spazio disponibile...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Nessun fatto veramente saliente nella mia vita (nel bene e nel male), cioè nessun cambiamento...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Solo, maggiore consapevolezza: con l'avanzare dell'età, sento il peso di ogni piccola cosa come se fosse "fondamentale" e "definitiva". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Non riesco più a vivere spensieratamente e con leggerezza. Perciò, ci sono delle giornate (la maggior parte) in cui io arrivo a sera sfinita e prosciugata da tutte le buone intenzioni che mi sembrava di avere al mattino...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Oggi colgo subito l'occasione!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">La vita in miniatura è sempre una parte importante delle mie giornate, l'unica one in cui ritrovo me stessa in purezza!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dedicarmi alla costruzione qualcosa di carino mi fa sentire meglio, e soddisfa la mia creatività.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oltre al lavoro per l' Etsy store, continuo a lavorare maniacalmente al Robin's Nest Cottage: sembro un gambero, un passo avanti e due indietro! Ultimamente ho adottato anche un cagnone che fa la guardia sdraiato di fronte all'ingresso, si chiama "Solo".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Aggiungo piccoli oggetti come se si trattasse di una casa vera, in cui è impensabile che non ci sia un apriscatole o uno sturalavandini... Mio marito, a volte, mi guarda come se non fossi del tutto sana di mente, poichè mi è capitato di acquistare riproduzioni in miniatura di oggetti che mi servirebbero di più nella casa 1:1 (e che costerebbero anche molto meno!!!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ora, io DEVO ritrovare un po' di tempo per mostrare tutto... Ho in testa un nebuloso progetto dei post che vorrei scrivere, ma mi costa un'enorme fatica dargli una forma più precisa...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Forse, come in passato, dovrei solo cominciare :-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Perciò mi ri-impegno formalmente: tornerò a scrivere!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Aggiornamento delle ore 18,00<br />Ho giocato un po' con il layout e colgo l'occasione anche per comunicare che da questo post risponderò a tutti i commenti (urrà! ho trovato come fare!)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ognuno di noi, nella vita, può avere la fortuna di imbattersi in qualcosa di imprevisto, sconosciuto prima di allora, la cui suggestione scatena una selva di subitanee emozioni, dapprima indistinte poi, via via, sempre più precise: gioia, tristezza, interesse, fascinazione, illusione, dolore, entusiasmo, frustrazione, rassegnazione...<br />Tutte queste cose, insieme, proprio come quando siamo innamorati, e l'oggetto dei nostri desideri non ci basta mai.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Costruiamo dentro di noi un universo fatto di pensieri che a volte esulano dalla realtà e si trasformano in qualcosa di dolce e straziante, sublime e indelebile.<br />Questo è accaduto a me quando, ancora bambina, vidi per la prima volta l'immagine delle eliche del Titanic, con sotto quelle figurine insignificanti che sono gli uomini.<br /> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ora che internet ha spezzato le catene e la conoscenza non ha più confini, io ho potuto sviluppare il mio amore, e penso con rimpianto che se fossi nata altrove, e con altri input, avrei forse potuto dedicarmi seriamente al Titanic, come storico o sociologo o oceanografo. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Forse nella prossima vita :-)<br />Fatto sta che, nonostante la tragedia legata indissolubilmente alla nave (o forse proprio per questo?!), non è raro che io chiuda gli occhi e nel dormiveglia, io mi trovi a camminare lungo i corridoi ovattati, con il ronzio dei motori provenire dalla enorme pancia. Mi siedo nella sala di lettura e guardo fuori dalle vetrate al tramonto. Sento squillare la tromba che annuncia la cena del sabato, la più attesa, la più elegante, e devo affrettarmi a tornare nella mia cabina per cambiarmi d'abito (già le prime note dell'orchestra si spandono nell'aria...)</span> </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Avete presente quando, nonostante i buoni propositi, sembra che l'Universo intero si disponga per ostacolarvi?!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ecco, con questo concetto posso più o meno riassumere i mesi trascorsi dal mio ultimo post che, comunque, era già abbastanza significativo...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">L'estate è cominciata solo sulla carta, dato che anche il clima sta facendo le bizze, qui in Italia, e piove e fa freddo e tira vento come se fossimo alla fine dell'autunno.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Nel frattempo, mi stavo appena riprendendo da tutti i miei guai di salute e stress e, come ricorderete, ero armata di sano ottimismo, quando uno scivolone sulle scale, e un volo degno di Wonder Woman, hanno bruscamente interrotto i miei sogni di gloria. Sì, perchè Wonder Woman saltava e atterrava in piedi, mentre io sono atterrata sul sedere, attutendo un poco con il braccio destro che si è drammaticamente stroncato!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Le conseguenze, ve le lascio immaginare...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ma non basta, perchè, forse a causa della grande paura, circa un mese fa ho cominciato a manifestare uno strano arrossamento della pelle (di nuovo!!!) che in breve si è trasformato in una orribile e deprimente "Pitiriasi rosea di Gibert", che perdura ancora: un'altra malattia che sto imparando a conoscere a mie spese.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sono letteralmente ricoperta di bolle, rosse e pruriginose, che continuano ad aumentare ed aumentare, e la cosa può durare da un MINIMO di tre mesi ad anche sei mesi...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Capirete quanto poca voglia io abbia di fare qualunque cosa.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">E nonostante tutto io non voglio arrendermi!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Il rischio che il malumore si trasformi in depressione è troppo grande, e io ho deciso di oppormi alla congiuntura astrale sfavorevole, con tutte le mie forze!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ho così tante idee, progetti, interessi, a tanti amici per condividere tutto, e non voglio, non voglio sprecare il mio tempo a stare male.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Che ne pensate?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Così, visto che il braccio sta meglio, ho deciso di riprendermi la mia vita a partire dal mattino presto: svegli alle 5:45 e via a correre per otto chilometri, tutti i giorni.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tre volte all settimana, allenamento duro con i pesi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cibo sano, tanta acqua, buone letture per tenere anche la mente sveglia...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Non riesco a concentrarmi troppo a lungo sul lavoro in miniatura: ho deciso di darmi tempo... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Le due immagini che ho inserito riguardano due nuovi lavori per il negozio Etsy :-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Non volevo assolutamente postare un altro orsetto malridotto!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Naturalmente, mi mancate tutti molto, e spero di mancarvi un poco anch'io...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Cercavo un'immagine che potesse esprimere lo stato di prostrazione fisica e mentale in cui mi trovo da un mese a questa parte, e penso di averla trovata: questo teddy accasciato ad un muro potrei essere io, in seguito al contagio da megaloeritema infettivo!<br />Ora mi fa anche un po ridere, ma devo dire di essere stata preoccupata (molto preoccupata) dal mio stato di salute, un corollario di disturbi culminato in uno scompenso del sistema linfatico, che per qualche giorno mi ha fatto anche pensare al peggio...<br />Invece, si è rivelato essere una banale malattia esantematica contagiata da mia figlia, ma che su di me ha avuto (e continua a tuttoggi ad avere) effetti davvero tragici!<br />Malditesta costante, dolori articolari, rigidità delle membra, linfonodi del collo e delle spalle enormi e duri, esami del sangue che presentano una marcata anemia, e finalmente: esantema a schiaffo, prima sul viso e poi sul resto del corpo, abbastanza doloroso (come una scossa elettrica).<br />So che non è molto divertente, ma se doveste avere questi sintomi, anzichè farvi autodiagnosi tragiche come quelle che ho fatto io, interrogatevi se per caso non avete contratto la sottovalutata "quinta malattia" dei bambini :-(<br />Bene, questa chiarirà alla maggior parte di voi la mia totale assenza dal Miniland e dal web, e chiedo scusa a tutti quelli che stanno attendendo qualcosa da me (soprattutto Vicky!), ma spero di poter presto tornare a rallegrarvi con le tonnellate di novità arrivate al Robin's Nest :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Le scorse due settimane sono volate, con l'avanzare della Primavera e l'approssimarsi della Pasqua.<br />A dire il vero, il maltempo ha imperversato sino allo scorso venerdì, perciò ho dovuto rimandare a questa settimana le grandi manovre a casa e in cucina!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Le odiate (ma necessarie!) pulizie di Primavera la fanno da padrone col primo sole: ieri ho lottato fino allo stremo con il sofa, per sfoderarlo, lavare tutto e (sigh!) rivestirlo di nuovo della sua fodera...<br />Perchè spendere un sacco di soldi in palestra per tonificare i glutei, quando puoi semplicemente pulire il divano?! Sono state ore terribili, e oggi mi fanno male dei muscoli che non sapevo nemmeno di avere.<br />Comunque, ora il divano è come nuovo e posso godermi un po di riposo :-)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Il 23 marzo del 2010 scrivevo il primo post su questo Blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ricordo ancora la forte emozione di quelle prime parole dirette al resto del mondo, senza sapere se qualcuno avrebbe letto, se qualcuno avrebbe risposto...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Allora credevo di avere le idee piuttosto chiare sulla direzione da far prendere ai miei progetti (che ingenuità!).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Oggi so che ogni giorno che passa, i pensieri e le idee cambiano la loro forma e cambiano noi, in un continuo scambio di energie che viaggiano veloci sul web per raggiungere i nostri interlocutori.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Il blog diventa un organismo in evoluzione, pronto ad assorbire e diffondere ancora, progetti, immagini pensieri, come era nelle mie intenzioni, quel primo giorno.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Oggi più che mai, sento quanto è importante avere a disposizione questo spazio libero per condividere le mie emozioni (anche se non tutte, anche se non sempre), e voglio dire forte e chiaro quanto reputo importante poter esprimere me stessa ed essere capita, anche se si tratta SOLO di miniature e bambole.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Considero perciò agghiacciante e inaccettabile che si possa anche solo pensare di fare censura, perchè a chi comanda fa comodo che le persone rimangano nell'ignoranza e nell'isolamento.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Come se fosse possibile arrestare le onde del mare :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Vorrei poter dire ai Leaders del mondo che la loro è una battaglia già persa, perchè le persone vogliono sapere e condividere, è una spinta inarrestabile!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dedico questi miei quattro anni da blogger a tutte le persone che oggi stanno combattendo per la loro libertà di espressione.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Per quanto mi riguarda, posso solo ringraziare i tanti amici che hanno reso migliore la mia vita in questi quattro anni, aprendo la mia mente ed i miei occhi su nuove prospettive.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Considero questo aspetto il più prezioso di questa esperienza e spero, nel mio piccolo, di avere contribuito un poco alla globalizzazione della felicità :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Nella nostra piccola famiglia, certo, tutto è garbato e tenero, tutto pacato e gioioso, ma io so che dietro, ci sono le storie personali di ciascuno di noi, i nostri drammi, i nostri problemi, le nostre preoccupazioni.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Uomini e donne che lottano per guadagnarsi un posto nel mondo e farlo migliore.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Proprio attraverso il mondo delle miniature ho potuto apprezzare quanto impegno e creatività la gente può mettere in campo per creare qualche cosa di bello nonostante tutto.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ecco perchè considero così prezioso il mio posticino qui con voi :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ogni festa che si rispetti merita un dolce, a casa mia: adoro cucinare e sperimentare e naturalmente le ricorrenze sono una eccellente occasione per pasticciare in cucina.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Devo ammettere che il cibo rappresenta una tentazione anche in miniatura, per me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ho messo insieme una adorabile collezione di cibo per il Robin's Nest Cottage e devo dire che ho una mania compulsiva nei confronti di qualche artigiano: una specie di affinità elettiva che mi lega ad amici lontani attraverso torte e biscotti che non hanno data di scadenza :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Oggi ho ho deciso di preparare per tutti voi questa fantastica torta glassata e sono certa che ce ne sarà una fettina per ognuno, perchè l'amicizia non si divide, ma si moltiplica :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Grazie per essere qui con me, grazie per trovare il tempo per leggere le mie parole, per rispondere con un sorriso, per sopportare a volte anche i malumori...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In fondo a questo post c'è una piccola sopresa per gli amici più fidati: estrarrò un nome a caso tra tutti coloro che parteciperanno alla mia festa lasciando il loro commento.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Il fortunato riceverà uno degli ingredienti presenti sul tavolo per preparare una golosa torta :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">L'unica regola fondamentale per partecipare a questo gioco (oltre al commento) è che </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">è vietato condividere con chiunque la notizia del giveaway :-) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Mia zia mi ha lasciato il Robin's Nest Cottage perchè lo custodisca, insieme a tutto il suo contenuto.<br />In un vecchio armadio ho trovato, impilati con ordine, i bianchi asciugamani di lino a frange, e ho istantaneamente deciso che non ci sarebbe stato cotone stampato, in questo bagno!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Intanto, BASTA con il Natale: non ne posso più di vedere l'alberello ogni volta che apro il mio blog.<br />Siamo in febbraio, perciò, l'alberello và archiviato :-)<br />Poi: BASTA con l'inerzia, il cattivo umore, l'inconcludenza, e soprattutto l' immobilismo intellettuale!<br />Comincio tutte le mie giornate con il proposito di fare qualcosa di bello e positivo, e qualche volta ci riesco, ma alla fine non riesco a scrivere niente sul blog per la sensazione di non avere fatto nulla di interessante per gli altri...<br />Non so perchè ho sviluppato questa pessima abitudine, ma me ne voglio liberare, a partire da subito, non più da domani!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In questi mesi, in questi anni, io sono stata tutt'altro che immobile. <br />Ho sviluppato nuovi interessi e nuovi gusti; ho imparato nuove tecniche, ho incontrato nuovi amici.<br />La mia esistenza si è definita e ha assunto due diverse dimensioni: quella che sono e quella che vorrei essere.<br />Proprio da questa dicotomia nascono tutte le mie incertezze.<br />Le miniature fanno parte del mio essere interiore, quasi una proiezione di come vorrei essere, ma è un mondo ideale, e il rendermi conto che la realtà è diversa, più dura e precaria, acuisce il mio senso critico e blocca la mia creatività...<br />Non so se ho più bisogno di uno psicanalista o di una vacanza (senz'altro, trarrei beneficio da entrambi), ma nel frattempo, voglio con tutte le mie forze tentare di saltare il fosso, e condividere me stessa anche se non sono perfetta nè definitiva :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Il Robin's Nest Cottage ha acquisito tanti nuovi particolari, e anche se ogni giorno ne inserisco uno e ne tolgo tre, non voglio più aspettare, perchè la perfezione non è di questo mondo, e me ne devo fare una ragione.<br />Tutto questo, naturalmente, non deve far pensare che trascorro le mie giornate in elucubrazioni. io sono una mamma, una moglie, una figlia, una sorella e un' amica, perciò non mi posso abbandonare allo sconforto, ma devo sempre fare, fare qualcosa.<br />Oggi vi lascio con le immagini dei miei ultimi lavori, in ordine di tempo: come al solito, non ho potuto partecipare a Miniaturitalia, ma sono riuscita comunque a creare, e questa è la parte della mia vita che preferisco.<br />Da domani, comincerò a condividere la mia vita imperfetta.</span></div>

Anche quest'anno siamo arrivati a Natale quasi senza accorgercene: ho l'esatta percezione di ogni singolo giorno dell'anno appena trascorso, con tutti i buoni propositi che avevo formulato, e non riesco a credere che non c'è più tempo per fare niente, se non i miei più affettuosi auguri a tutti :-)<br />
Mi dispiace molto di non essere stata presente come avrei voluto ma davvero il tempo è scivolato tra le mani come sabbia...<br />
Però posso sempre dire a me stessa (e a voi tutti) che l'anno venturo sarà diverso, e riuscirò finalmente a realizzare i miei progetti almeno in parte :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Come vedete, per celebrare la stagione, abbiamo allestito un grande albero di Natale all'esterno del Robin's Nest Cottage, decorato con i colori dell'inverno: argento bianco e cristallo.</div>

In qualunque stato d'animo ci sentiamo, qualunque problema abbiamo, dedicarci ai preparativi per il Natale è terapeutico, ed è doveroso nei confronti di noi stessi e delle nostre famiglie: cercare di condividere il meglio di noi, per trasmettere positività e speranza.<br />
Allora scendiamo in cantina, ci facciamo largo tra le biciclette, l'attrezzatura del mare, i vecchi oggetti in disuso, e finalmente: l'occorrente per il Natale!<br />
E ogni anno, prende vita la magia; gli addobbi tornano a risplendere, ad illuminare i nostri cuori.<br />
E' con questa speranza che abbraccio voi tutti dolci amici :-)</div>

Tutte le fiabe più belle cominciano così.<br />
Anche questa.<br />
C'ero una volta io, una bambina romantica e piena di fantasia, che desiderava fortissimamente avere la casa delle bambole, diventare piccola piccola, e andare a viverci dentro.<br />
Ed ecco che il sogno si è avverato: questa piccola personcina in jeans e ballerine sono io, che vi dò il benvenuto nella mia casa delle bambole :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Accanto a me c'è la mia adorabile bambina Elisa e il nostro cucciolo Cloud.<br />
Molti mesi (sei, a dire il vero), sono trascorsi dal mio ultimo post, ma come vedete ho avuto un bel po da fare: rimpicciolirmi, ultimare i lavori al cottage, traslocare... Sono stati mesi di duro lavoro, ma alla fine eccomi qui, felice, e della giusta misura!</div>

La magia è stata compiuta ad opera di una artista gentile, paziente e disponibile, che ha ascoltato tutti i miei desideri e dopo un giro di bacchetta magica, li ha realizzati.<br />
Questa fata buona si chiama <a href="http://www.dianeyunnieminiaturedolls.com/" target="_blank">Diane Yunnie</a> (click), vive e lavora in Sud Africa, ed è stata capace di creare una piccola me, senza conoscermi e senza nemmeno vedermi. Posso assicurarvi che questa bambola mi assomiglia davvero (tranne che io ho i capelli biondi e porto sempre la coda di cavallo, ma è una acconciatura che non si adatta bene alle bambole).<br />
Perciò, da oggi in poi, voi potrete senz'altro pensare a me con questo viso carino (che, tra l'altro, ha anche il grande vantaggio di restare sempre giovane, a differenza dell'originale...)</div>

So che per la maggior parte di voi, le case di bambola sono intese come contenitori da riempire di miniature, con l'intento di creare una illusione il più possibile rispondente alla realtà (anche se una realtà inventata), ma per me no: la casa delle bambole è uno spazio abitato, in cui personaggi si muovono e vivono la loro realtà. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
E' importante che essi esistano nella mente di chi osserva, anche quando non sono presenti materialmente, in modo da dare una storia ad ogni piccolo oggetto. Il blog è un mondo virtuale costituito da immagini, da lettori e da commenti: la tecnologia ci permette di creare una forma di illusione perfetta, attraverso le immagini, e la condivisione di esse: io ho capito che psicologicamente, questo processo è diventato importante per me, poichè io posso stare per mesi e mesi senza scrivere un post, ma con in mente sempre di fare qualcosa per poi condividerlo con gli altri, sul blog. <br />
Ora, avere una bambola che rappresenti me stessa, rende ogni cosa più vera, come se io avessi DAVVERO un piccolo e adorabile cottage, chissà dove, con il giardino di fronte, un pettirosso che ha fatto il suo nido sul tetto, un vecchio baule ereditato da mia zia insieme alla casa, insomma: una intera vita in cui tutto è a misura dei miei sogni.<br />
Sogni di zucchero filato, di dolci amici, di teneri animali, di fiori profumati, vecchi pizzi, serate accanto al fuoco, e mille divertenti avventure da vivere insieme a voi, a dispetto della tediosa e gravosa realtà che a volte ci affligge!</div>

Perciò, sappiate che mi siete mancati, ma non c'è stato un solo giorno che io non abbia pensato a voi, pregustando il momento in cui mi sarei sentita pronta per ricominciare a condividere.<br />
Ho letto da parte di molti amici, un grande rammarico per la generalizzata scarsa vitalità dei blogs, ma sono certa che questo è da attribuire alle difficoltà quotidiane, che soffocano la nostra creatività, non dalla mancanza di interesse.<br />
Almeno, per me è stato così.<br />
Ora, io mi impongo di spezzare le catene, e tornare a sorridere insieme a voi tutti, cari amici :-)<br />
Preparatevi ad una overdose di cose carine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In questi mesi, ho dovuto svolgere una quantità di ruoli e ho trascurato la mia entità preferita: quella di presenza virtuale nel mondo in miniatura.<br />
Ma ho trovato il tempo per allestirlo: dal prossimo post, prenderò tutti voi per mano e vi ci porterò dentro, insieme a me :-)</div>
