Leaving winter behind

You can feel it in the air, summer is a step away.. the sun that warms up your bones feels so nice and awakens your lust for carefree summer holidays. 

Only a step away before winter will be long gone. 

The change of the weather inspires new looks, so I digged this out of my wardrobe. A long-ago creation but scarcely worn.

Full circle skirt, extra full as it has numerous small pleats. The fabric was given to me, among other things, from a friend that entrusted me her mom's things. It is pity that you rarely find nowadays such nice fabrics. It is polka dot but in a crazy uneven way. Makes the difference.

Maybe a false hope it is that this summer will be carefree but hope never dies... nor trying does ever stop.

Just like the circle that has no end and no beginning.

Recollecting last summer

Winter was really well behaved and treated us well. Scarcely did we have any cold days. Spring is here already and Summer is approaching. You can just feel it in your bones. Right now I can also feel the cold that I caught up for the 20th time this year, even though the weather was so nice. 

Nice, but sneaky. 

Ok, I may be over exaggerating about the number of times, 

but it was more than what I am used to.

Anyway, to cut it short, while waiting impatiently for the warm, light-clothes-wearing days, I recollect last year’s summertime...

I spent most of my summer days in the city. Mostly due to laziness and here you have the song that was humming in my head most of the time, while strolling through the city... 

 I had a perfect time actually, since we all Athenians know, that the best time to be in Athens is August!

This is a favorite one, TOP GUN!! (no need to guess what it sells..)

And to cut it more short, here's something that kept me 

busy between walking, exploring and swimming around...

I had this beautiful fabric for just too long a time unused. It is a favorite one as it is a birthday gift from my madrid-ean friends, so having free time I decided I had to do something with it... at last...!

And you know me, never leaving anything wasted...

Using the selvage instead of a bias trim, ha!

I just love and collect all the selvages from all the fabrics that come to my hands, first time of actually using it.

Hope to be back soon!

(Before we pass to the next decade that is!!)
