little black skirt

I would't know about the little black dress,

as I don't use one, 

but I do know about the little black skirt: it is a must.

It offers limitless comfortable and stylish combinations. 

In a few words: the perfect solution for a person like me, 

who gets up in the last minute  

and has to decide in 5 secs what to wear.

Fancy detail: the pocket lining matches the skirt's lining.

The cardigan is a Crochelle creation discovered in a discount bazzar that I didn't meant to go,

but I finally did and so happy that I did:

fell in love on the spot. 

She is a greek creator, talented and very down-to-earth.

(I hope she won't mind my interference with the buttons :o))

Excepting the pockets, there is nothing complicated in this pattern, 

perfect for all beginners it is.

small things

There come moments when small things just make you happy.

It doesn´t matter that all big projects that
run through your brain may never come true.
Small things do.
Do matter and do come true.

Something small like this pouch,
made to keep a wooden toy for a friend´s baby.

Or this neceser, made for my cousin on her birthday.

Or the simple fact that you alone can shorten
your jeans 2 hours before you go on a trip.
It makes you feel damn useful.

Come on girls'n'boys, anyone's up to learn the basics??

wedding series #2

Marina&Stefanos got married!
They are our second cousins and very dear ones. 

I didn't get to make a new dress for this wedding,

I worked on my mom's outfit though.

I helped her out with the lace cardigan:
I made the pattern and she did all the sewing.

And it went pretty well I should say,
she is my no1 candidate if I ever decide to hire a sewer.


It was held in Florina&Ano Kleinai(northern Greece):
mom's homevillage.

During our stay there we had so much fun,
the hospitality of the relatives was great!

Five days long we did nothing but

eat

drink

sing

and dance of course!

I also made some new friends :o)

 We met our cousins from Australia, Nathan and Naomi.

 We travelled around






saw things and places




and enjoyed everything to the most!

I hope they will not kill me for this :o))

We thank them for all the treatment and 

wishing them all the happiness in the world!
