| February 10, 2011 | Filled under Thursday's Moments |
I got my new abstract girls last week and sure can’t resist to create a little
something to introduce them ;o)
I’ve got several requests for pageboy style cap, so here is summer version. This Polka Dots REVERSABLE Cap made in Mesh pattern with beads and featured lace leather trim and poppy pin in new version of center flower. The scarf is easy customizable and can be made in any length. Pattern is almost finished and will be send for tech editing just in a few.
I have much more new projects to show you, but still need to take pictures. I’ll do it as soon as will feel better – hate to be sick, no fan at all… lol

Thursday’s Noments 5. Murano Glass
| February 3, 2011 | Filled under Thursday's Moments |
Murano glass is a famous product of the Venetian island of Murano, Italy.
The history of Murano glass is interesting in the fact that it is the longest
lasting center for glass making in history. It spans from the 9th century to
today, and is full of beautiful and innovative artwork, success, failure and
thankfully, a remarkable resiliency in the face of adversity…
I so in love with my Murano glass pendant, a gift from our dear friends. A
truly piece of art.
Happy Thursday everyone!! Have a Wonderful and Lovely day!!

Thursday’s Moments 4. Sushi
| January 27, 2011 | Filled under Thursday's Moments |
Can you believe it’s a Thursday again?! And it’s Thursday’s Moments time… 
Funny that I count myself as sushi fan, but I can’t eat uncooked fish (at least
without species) even if I love seafood and prefer if to meat and poultry. The
only “raw” fish I love are saba (mackerel) and herring (with no sugar for sure
– just salted and marinated with species in oil). Kristin is on the same page
with me and above are her favorite sushi … well they are only ones she likes
so far ;o) I have much longer list of my favorite sushi as well as salads and
another cooked seafood like iSushu offers – one of our all time favorite.
Happy Thursday everyone! Have a Wonderful and Lovely day!
