Blouse For My Mum

A few weeks ago I bought some lovely piece of fabric with nostalgia pattern that was popular long ago when I was a child. I immediately thought "what a lovely fabrick, I could make a lovely blouse for my mother, she would love it!“ And so I did. I did it yesterday. I gave it to her last evening. She was so surprised , she loved it  and most important of all it made her so happy! So, I'm happy too. 

 
I do not remember when was the last time I made any clothes at all, but making this blouse was so easy to me as if I was doing it every day. When you love doing something -you can not forget it. I guess that's what is all about. When you do things you love they come from the state of ease, and not from the state of stress. 
(Guess I should stop and reflect on this theory I just came up with!..)

By the way, there were no work phone calls for me yesterday! You can definitely tell!

Alice in Wonderland

I really, really like my new apartment! I love it! It is the perfect picture of what I’ve always imagined. It’s so amazing! I’m so grateful for such manifestation in my life. I’m truly, truly grateful! I’m especially grateful for the spare room I have now and always longed for and which is as big as the whole apartment itself! Funny that I’ve noticed it all only after moving in!!! It’s spacious attic, clean, light and huge!

There are also some spare furniture that I can use there too, such as cupboards, tables and chairs, sofas and a couch as well. All in perfect, tidy and clean conditions! I am a crafty girl; I am Alice and that attic is my Wonderland! Now I have place and space to put my imagination on display! To spread it all over the place and than to enjoy creative chaos and let it to grow freely and continuously! And newer to tidy up afterwards! Now I have the place for all my “toys”: my sowing machine, my fabrics, my wools, my knitting needles, sowing needles,  my paintings, my paint brushes, my colours, my craft books, my soaps, all the gadgets that go with it all...Oh my, oh my...

I even have the space for the gym corner! Actually this evening I spent ½ hours on the excercise bike, did some stretching and other exercises I felt like doing after a long, long time, and all that helped with music I’ve found on the radio that matched just perfect! The view from the tiny little attic window felt like magic, too. Cathedral lights so bright under the night sky...

The whole weekend to enjoy now! I’m so happy!
