My Blues...

Holla readers. 

So summer is leaving us for good, well at least until next year, and I haven't talked much about what I've actually done during the summer. So except all traveling and enjoying myself, I actually practiced my knitting and sewing skills. I want to post pictures of what I've sewed so far, but I will be honest with you, I don't have any yet. So I guess I have to collect all my products and do little photoshoot for you guys because I would love to show you. (Well and I also have to finally put it on my BurdaStyle profile)
But let's talk about what I have and I'm able to present.

As you know, I got that beautiful electric blue dress I wrote about before. Thanks to that, blue became my favorite color for this summer. Last year I visited Greece and it's perfect they have this color on their flag. It's a blue styled country. I would love to share some pictures but I accidentally deleted them and I have only ones on facebook. Anyway I got these two pictures as a memory and believe me I haven't seen funnier old people. 


So they are sitting on my closet, watching me and making me laugh. Cute, huh?
Anyway when I was in Canada I bought myself yarns, just in case I was bored and my color choice was this amazing greek blue color, which makes me happy every time I take needles in my hands. It took me two months to get the cable knitted scarf into stage how it looks now, but unfortunately it's still not done and I will surprise you with the length and final design. 



To add something, when I was in Montreal with Rob, we had to make decision about colors we want to paint his apartment. Try to guess what color we got for bedroom... BENTLEY BLUE!!!



And now back at home, my daddy asked me if I could sew him some little bags for dry lavender flowers.
(We have herbal garden since herb became passion in my family)
So I was looking for some fabric I could use and I found this blue vintage plead fabric with little red/white flowers. My mother probably bought it in 80's and used it for some horrible blouse for my sister and of course I had to wear it as well. Nothing better than use it for cute little bags, with natural rope... what do you think?


So I guess that's all from me for today. 

Let me know what do you think!

Summer Heat & Knitted Fashion

Hot sun is keep digging in my skin and I have feeling that it goes right to my bones. Let me tell you, I'm looking forward to autumn again. I think it's my favorite time of a year anyway, well maybe spring could be concurrence. I spent my last september in Canada and I miss the weather those days here. I know, I'm back, but I'm leaving the last day of August, so maybe I'll miss nice cool weather here. Well, whatever.





At least I started to learn knitting, cooler days will come soon and I have to be prepared. 
Which reminds me another thing I wanted to share. I was reading through Vogue.com and found out that knitted goods are very actual for this fall/winter season. Right on time, don't you think?

Knitting & Rainy Afternoons

 I don't know if it's the volcano from Iceland or just coincidence but in last month we had only three days of sun. Temperatures are the same as they were in March, so I started to be little bit desperate to get warm and decided to learn knit. Well my mother used to be good at it, but she was never willing to teach me. 
I turned on my computer and found some YouTube tutorials how to knit and found some show where very crazy girl teach young kids to do that and guess what, it's actually pretty good. Next day I went to buy bamboo needles and some wool and started pretty big scarf to warm up my upper body. Don't worry I will post result, but when I'm finished. Unfortunately I'm very slow, so it will take a time. Check my blog in September... 


Look what I did so far. Well stitches are pretty random, but this is a first time, so play nice, people...
