Spring!!!!

I am looking through my window and I can see the nature awakening....blossoms appearing everywhere...I just love spring....I love sunny days and that awesome smell in the air...
A hint of new life, new start, new venture.....something very exciting is on the horizon and I just can't wait to tell you and show you more-and it's not all about flowers :) !!!!








Have a wonderful weekend!
See you on Monday with awesome news!

Fall beauty

Yesterday I went to make some pics of my new finished quilt. And I made hundreds of pics, but before I post them, I decided to dedicate this post to nature and fall only.
Because it deserves a post itself. There is so much beauty in the silence....incredible colors everywhere...hope you will be inspired too!

Saying goodbye to summer

Last Sunday was the last day of summer :(



Here are some shoots taken last week...we were enjoying lots of yummy food and flowers, we watched weather changing often and I was trying to get some things done in time....I will soon inform you about that progress;)

















Bye, buy summer!!!You was great!:)
Looking forward to fall projects!:)

Onion flowers

Summer vacation is almost over :(
Just one more week till the school starts again. So we are trying to catch on some school preps and to spend our days outside, and not in the city, enjoying pretty much some extraordinary nature wonders, like these beautiful dried onion flowers.







I spotted them beside the roads (growing as weeds) while being at Skopelos this summer and just couldn't turn back home without taking some with me. They are happily nested in my home now and they keep me inspired:)





What keeps you inspired these days?

June musings

Happy summer!!!

Inspiring flowers

I have been doing a lot of drawing, painting and sketching lately. With a tablet and with a hand, depending on a subject or eventual final use of it. I feel so inspired. And I feel a bit guilty of not sewing much lately. But I am just like that, some days you will find me mesmerized with the ideas for the textile and surface design, some days with creating some new cute dresses and wardrobe pieces, or creating new patterns for them and sometimes I just want to photograph things or to paint or to be crafty in other way. And there are days when I just want to enjoy my kids and doing my routine homework;)



In this time of the year, there are beautiful, colorful flowers everywhere around (naturally in the country side, and not in the city;) and so each weekend becomes a feast for the eyes. It's also so incredible how the nature change from a week to a week, and just when you plan to do some more of this and that (flower) you realize that it's gone. But, the new species are up....blooming.....and I'm driven by theirs beauty.















Have a wonderful weekend,

Let the summer fun begin!

We are so ready to start completely enjoying the summer Vacation...we prepared the pool last weekend and kids had blast even with just 10 cm of the water within, so can imagine now that they will be able to actually swim in there:)

 


What I love about the summer is having all the kids and family around, great quick and healthy food with lots of veggies and fruits. It's totally different when you can pick the fruit from the tree or plant and just eat it, yummy!!! And apricots, my favourite fruit are so delicious. Even the wild strawberries, can not ask for anything better;)





 



And remember, the bugs tee shirt? I got the fabric (sadly the knit fabric is temporarily out of stock), sew all 4 shirts in less than an hour and voila, here is the result- 4 happy loving bugs shirts & kids:)

I am also loving so much the new Spoonflower weekly contest.
It's for the collage cupcakes!!
Collage technique has always been the favourite sketching technique for all my prints, especially for my linocuts. So, here is my entry for this challenge.



I hope you are enjoying your summer too:)
