… I finally uploaded the pictures of one our last activity – the four miles
round Rattlesnake Ridge trail, pretty moderate with elevation gain of
1,175 feet, but some amazing views and memories.

     

It takes about two hours to complete and my friends and I (my DH
and Kristin waited us on the ground) so enjoined it!

Here are some pics, but not mine, because
I truly can’t explain why, but I HATE to be
pictured and DO NOT  allow it to anyone…
Silly me, I know, but can’t help myself! LOL
…  Oh my, and just look at our brave Julie,
I LOVE this shot so much (click to enlarge):


And here are some more:

… yeh, I was spotted here LOL:
 

… and here are my super comfty "hiking shoes" ;) 
I think I shocked all hikers at that day – I never had
such number of "wonders" for my shoes!!! LOL
No kidding… As a person who was born in heels
shoes, I really can’t imagine myself without them 
and must admit that Jacielynn Guess wedges are
SUPER comfortable for walking and I found that they
are just perfect for some hiking too 😉

…  to a little escape, feel like extremely needed and I hope enough deserved  😉
I’ve finished some new designs for my  Fall/Winter ‘2009 collection, almost done
pattern for Flower Power Bolero  (still need to polish it a bit), continue working
on some Exciting collaborations with fabulous boutique designers. And of course
I have not forgotten about the patterns for sweaters I’ve promised. But for now,
I’m so ready for a little break with all summer activities and family fun. I’ll be back
in 1-2 weeks. See you then!

P.S.: Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have. I’ll check my
inbox daily and reply on your emails timely as and process all orders.

Oh my, I can’t believe I’m almost forgot about our 9th anniversary….
But I’m so excited and flawless with husband’s surprise!!!! Ohh well,
I’ll be back tomorrow morning from our little escape 😉 See you then!
P.S.: … and, is our baby Kristin will turn 7 this November, Ahhh!!!

   

We are just back from Keizer (OR) Iris Festival. That was Second Annual Fashion
Show and we were invited to participate with my Fruity fun collection.  I’m not sure
if I can find right words to describe all these feelings and emotions we have got!!!!
What’s a Wonderful event! It was a lot of joy, smiles, wishes and others awesome
impressions. We were so glad and honored to met such many amazing people and
had a blast, but most exciting moment was meet and work with my Oh soooo Cute
and Darling little models. They are simply ADORABLE!!!

 

Thank you so much again, my lovely little Cuties! You are the BEST!!! I’m so in LOVE
with yours personalities and feel so special to meet you all!!!

     

P.S.: Just can’t resist to post these darling pictures Sheradyn’s mom shared. 😉
Thank you so much Kimberly!

By friends requests and for all my dear readers in Russian I’ve added support for Russian language.

So from now on some posts are going to be in both languages. Not direct translation at not the same text, but I’ll try to stay in sync.

Though I have to admit that my English is never going to be as fluent as my Russian 😉

Всем привет!!! Просили? Вот, пожайлуста!!!! 😉 По многочисленным просьбам трудящихся, русский таки был добавлен! Украинский возможен, но уже за дополнительное вознаграждение 🙂
