Imperia, Italy
Made by Vania
Hi! Should anybody wonder, here are the 5Ws of this blog.
Who: well, you know, Vania. I’m an export specialist by day, and a dreamer by night.
What: I like too many things to list them all, so I called this blog “Made by Vania” because whatever I feel like to make, whatever I might be interested in, it will fit in. But you will most likely finding me rambling about card-making, watercolor and cooking. Truth be told, I like more eating than cooking, but the latter is the only way to get the former!
Where: that’s easy. All my rambling will take place here. My geographical, terrestrial here is Italy, northern Italy, close to the French Riviera. Which is an Italian word, by the way. We are the Riviera di Ponente. Imperia is my hometown.
Why: I will dig deeper into this in a different post, but here are the bare bones. I have friends; I have family, but “art”, the urge to create, I feel completely alone in it. When I talk about it, they say things like “you’re good, you should be doing something with it”, but they are not really interested. And that’s fine. I love my friends’ kids, but not having kids of my own, I tire fast talking about nappies and play… you see? I don’t even know what the subjects may be here! I am not a terrible friend, just not passionate about this. I wanted a spot to express myself openly about anything that interests me, and maybe make like-minded friends.
When: (sigh) I am totally a non-consistent person. I hope I will find accountability here. Maybe I will find the push, the motivation, to be present and act regularly. I don’t know how much time I will have available, see; I live alone with two invalid people, and I have a full-time job = no help and lots to do.
But this will be my secret magic alcove, where I will just take care of myself and what I enjoy.
Friends are welcome.
Love
Vania
