Spring at last!

This winter has been a long one.

Oh yees, we are in Greece but somehow this year  

in Athens we only saw rain and endless cold.

Or at least it seemed so to me. 

However I do not complain,
because I enjoyed to the maximum wearing my winter clothes: 

woolen sweaters, warm cardigans, thick tights....etc etc

But now that spring is here,

you cannot but feel your heart warming up and 

a smile forming on your face... 

Well, it does make a difference when at the end of a hard day
at work there is still daylight, hip hip hurrah!

Proud of my flowers I am, 
I have been waiting for them a year now!

It has been a while since I decided that my wardrobe
did not include as many dresses as I would like to.
Suddenly, I was so tired by my so-far-favorite combination of skirt'n'blouse.
So, this spring's goal was to make a couple of dresses that
are easy to wear, meaning by that to be comfortable during the day,
but also elegant if I happen to go out.
You never know, right?! ;o)

Presenting my first-under-this-concept creation:

Sundress #1

The sleeves are petal-formed 

(I got the idea from Katy's petal sleeve tutorial and

I just knew I had to try it out someday!) 

...and reversible.

It has been finished for quite a while now,
but I decided to wear it for the first time at Easter, in remembrance
of our childhood when we were given new clothes for Easter.
I know I know, you look at the shoes and think:
we were usually given new shoes as well, n'est-ce pas?!
Sorry, but mine are so comfortable that I just can't bring
myself to throw them away!

On to the next one then...

have a wonderful weekend y'all!
