We are off to Las Vegas this afternoon… Not planned and expected trip,
so seems double delightful!! ;o) The only thing… Oh my, I can’t imagine,
that in Nevada is about 109 degrees now… I’ll die with no doubts LOL!

I’m leaving my stores open and will do my best to manage them as soon
as possible. But please be patient with me if here is some delay. We are
back late evening Wed (July, 29).  See you then!!

 
I’ve just got a couple pictures from Lera, that Amazing girl, photographer
and journalist I’ve talked about recently. More pictures are coming. Just
can’t wait!

Kristin is wearing  one of halters, I’ve made her about couple years ago,
but did not get the good pictures to snow it off. Let’s go to waiting the
pictures with me… ;o)

… funny, that Kristin had picked this title, but I totally agree with her. 
We all feel just like that and so enjoined this past weekend and lots
events 🙂 Our  friend Eugene from CA visited us on Friday to spend the
weekend with us. On Saturday we’ve had a barbeque party and later
another one, where I met an Amazing girl from Vancouver, BC Canada,
who’s also a professional photographer and journalist. Sure, we have
booked a photo session on next morning and it was such a Pleasure
to deal with! Soon we will have some family pictures and I can update 
my avatar LOL! 
 
 
Next on our schedule was a Reception party in one Beautiful Golf Club.
We had a FUN and were SO HAPPY for our friends and such Amazing
and Sweet couple!!
  
Than we dropped Kristin on sleep over with her best friend Karina and,
to “complete” a day, watched Star Trek IMAX in our local cinema, since
was  lucky enough to buy tickets. At 11:55 pm theater was full…
And on Monday, we had a friend’s party in our home and then enjoined
walking to our local lake and park. It was long but wonderful weekend.

Well, now on my schedule is work, work and only work ;o) I have a LONG
list and this week I plan to finish a Kiwi top pattern and to keep working
on the graphics for next 2 patterns plus to start write grape tops pattern.
Also, I have something new to share with you, stay tuned…

Happy and Lovely week to everyone!

Hugs,
Alla

We had absolutely Awesome, summer like weather during these weekends
and so enjoined lots of sun, pretty warm (about 72-77 degrees) days,  these
little wild daisies anywhere… lots of outdoor activities and meetings with our
friends. We are just Love this time of year!

… A funny thing is that Kristin, who never was that big enthusiast for any
modellings, asked me to take some pictures in my newest tank top, I made
for one Sweet and Fun collaboration.  So we gone to Alki Beach park and
took these pics.

I wanted so long time try something with a big sequins (paillettes) and got
lots of Fun to work on it and so excited to see a coordinated masterpiece,
which this top would love for sure! ;o) Stay tuned!

 
Happy Monday to everyone!

… full of energy, memories and happiness!! We’ve had 6 flights, which took
about 29 hours of our life LOL, but we’ve extremely happy to see our dear
parents, friends and visit some our favorite places.

In Poltava with my parents and sister we celebrated my Birthday and then
had a fun barbecue-party. My mom with Kristin also enjoined a fishing time.
We had a Blast!!

In Kharkov we had an absolute pleasure to met our friends, visited Circus,
had some barbecue parties, shopping and lots of chatting and meetings!!

And last 3 days of our vacation we spent in Amsterdam. We arrived right
