Going RED with the Kimono Blossom

I suppose that you have noticed some fresh, vivid changes regarding my layout....yes, I have finally changed my header:)
Fresh poppies, hot summer weather and my latest creation - Kimono Blossom dress made me do it...and I LOVE it!!!!

It features the most beautiful Oilily reprint fabric, very pricey and very hard to find. I'm so lucky to have it still in red and even blue colorway and I love how it turned out.







We had a wonderful, hot day at our weekend getaway house, and Marta and I had a great time doing the pictures of this stunning dress. I will try to upload the rest of the pictures tomorrow and maybe even list it on eBay, but in the meantime, here are some pics of the Work in Progress (I just love the bodice and being a perfectionist, I just love to take care of all the details, lining, tags, etc. while creating)

For now, I'm doing slower way, enjoying my free time in testing new styles, being able to play with some favourite fabrics, trying to create some fresh Like flowers and butterflies designs:)

Easter vacation in Bari, Italy

I have finally managed to edit and upload almost all of the most interesting photos from our 2 weeks family visit to Italy, Bari.



We had a great time, especially kids, playing with theirs cousins, Alessia and Giulia:) They finally had the chance to speak in Italian, as here they are mainly speaking only Serbian.



Beside playing a lot outside, near the beach(their building is the first row of the buildings after the sea cost),



we did a lot of walking,



window shopping,










shopping(no fabric shopping this time:()







and eating, of course:)











Italian pastries are just delicious!!!!These are my favourites, typical Sicilian pastries, cookies like cannoli , baba and code di rospo.Yumm!!!!!!

We also visited the Zoo safari, in Fasano, near Bari. Kids were thrilled!!\



















Unfortunatelly, the weather changed after 2 hours of visting the zoo by the car and we were lucky enough to see (Marta was assisting too)the Dauphin performance, but not only that the dauphins completely dripping Marta wet and soaked us too, but the rain started and we were forced to leave, not having the chance to see the Dino museum and other fun animal places.







But, well, next time:)






Bari is such a beautiful town, the capital of region Puglia(home of mozzarella:) and have beautiful "old city" part and I was dying to take some pics there. I had attention to finally buy a Canon 40D, meaning a decent camera and I wanted to shoot some pics there with it. But unfortunatelly, that camera is out of the production now and a Canon 50D replaced it. Here I can still find the EOS 40D, but now I'm tempted with the new model, much better model, that cost a few hundreds of euros more:( Any suggestions????

Have a great weekend,
Katarina
