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!

Big Thanks To...

Dear readers.


14 days ago I realized what a bad blogger I've been. Didn't post for almost two months? That's unacceptable. I really do apologize and let me to fix it right now. 


As you probably know, I was enjoying my time in Canada, because I had to live every moment till the end. 
I created a nice home with my love, I was spending time with my most favorite family in the world and also trying to enjoy friends. Well and now I'm back... In Czech Republic, where my days now are mostly about sewing, knitting, preparing for school and already missing my summer. 


But what is my point today? I want to thank all my special friends in Canada! Josie and Tomáš, because they always are my family in the other side of ocean, Bryan and Al for invitation to their absolutely amazing wedding and all the fun we had in Canada's Wonderland, Rob's Mom for being so nice and warm to me, Kylie and her amazing family, for having me for absolutely fantastic afternoon, Candice for being so friendly and nice to me and making up the party, Christopher for all the fun BBQs and mostly for helping us move to Montreal and being VERY PATIENT with us, Tom, Ivana,Graeme, Aleš, Jan, Sergey, Kseniya, Tyler, Martina, Lukáš, Jasmin, Jason, Dave for being such a great friends to hang out. And MOSTLY I want to thank my dear Rob, for being such an amazing man, partner and real support to me. I love you my dearest...


So as a little reminder to me and some sneak peak for you, here you are some pictures from my trip.

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?

Canada, Wild Animals and Sweden

 So as I previously mentioned, I'm spending my summer in Canada, again. 
I won't be talking about what I've seen already, what I'm doing here and what I'm planning to do, because also I still want to keep some things just for myself. Let's just say: I'm practicing my english and eating fruit. Lot's of fruit, because, man, it's so delicious here. Not like those frozen grown strawberries without any flavor, sour peaches, that you don't want to eat them anymore. Hmmm


School is starting soon and I have chance to enjoy my last summer with all benefits it brings. Relax, got little bit of experience from other culture, open my eyes little bit widely.

But let me tell you something about my obsession last couple weeks. I became really amused by wild animals. I'm not talking about lions, tigers, elephants. I mean more like forest animals from up north. Did you ever noticed how gorgeous deers are? And birds? And now try to imagine it as a design in regular life. Sounds like a kitsch? Well not to me anymore. 
I took those seagulls pictures at the waterfront of Ontario lake and thinking about hanging it, once I get back to Prague and I would like your opinion people. Is that something you might want to have at home? 

And now about Sweden. I've never been there, that's something I must tell first. We would have a chance at my secondary school, because every year one class goes there. We were probably that bad , they didn't take us there and rather take other class. 

Anyway, thinking about this country makes me wonder how they are so successful in everything they do. I mean look at Ikea, H&M, ABBA... But what I think Sweden is most successful in? Design. 

I'm reading some design blogs from this country, let me correct myself, I'm not reading, just looking at pictures because as much as I want to, I don't speak their language. It's very inspirational, so if you're now in design, home reconstruction, I have some links for you...

My Biggest Apologies

Dear readers, 


I've been a bad blogger. I don't write that often as I should, got little bit lazy and with no inspiration. I admit that, to you. 

It has been couple weeks and I've been busy by making and finalizing my portfolio, which I'm not sure if I should post, and traveling across the ocean, which I'll mention later. Now when I got ill, the weather, my mood finally pushed me to post something. 


Enjoy a little bit from my history... you know portfolio and stuff... 

Welcome 2010/2011

Well so it's finally here and I'm officially not unemployed, I am a Student! I got ISIC, my health insurance is being paid since now, and it feels... GREAT. Finally my life has a meaning again and I became part of something. After my parents divorce, me living with my sister I really don't know where I belong. Now I know. 
School starts October 4th, so I get 3 months of summer holidays, even someone could consider my last year as a big holiday.


I almost forgot to tell you, dear readers, that next week I'm flying to Canada for two months. I get to see my "american family" , friends and most important, my darling will show me his country. You have no idea how excited I am now. 


Being busy for last couple weeks I haven't write how my knitting story continues, but I'm about to finish this week, so keep your fingers crossed.


Happy Summer My Dears...
Tereza


P.S. For those living in Canada, Happy Canada Day!!! With delay...

The Day

Morning everyone.
The day is finally here, day, when I became a student again. I'll go to my school with nicely collected require papers, money and photo. High heels, electric blue dress, confidence.
So fingers crossed for me and I'll write about it later.
