| Visited Paris Miki Optical (my fav Japanese company for long, their lenses are super thin and lightweight) to pick up my new glasses. |

Had a lunch with DH and we’ve enjoined Indian fresh salads and Tikka Masala, Yummy – Yum! |
| Finally finished a Berry Halter Top. Still need to take pictures and write a pattern. |  |

Kristin and I spent great time at Michaels and got lots fun to choice a new craft project for her. This time Kristin decided try hands on Paint by numbers. Oh my, looks as she’s definitely going to be busy for a bit LOL |
| And a cherry on the top is concert of our Russian famous Мумий Тролль band we were SO excited to visit yesterday! They are having a tour over US now and if you are fun of a good rock, make sure to check their Official Site to hear some hits and check what’s on their schedule. |  |
Ok, now we are off to pick up Kristin. She had a sleep over with her
best friend Karina and then we have enough long and fun list to do
on during these weekends. Fun Fun!!
A Wonderful weekends to anyone!!!

Fruity Fun 2. Eggplant Tank Top
| February 3, 2009 | Filled under Uncategorized |
Yes, you were perfectly right and it’s an Eggplant. Made from one of my
fav Tahki Cotton Classic, this top is so easy to make and great project even
for beginners. I just want to change a foliage part. So far it’s a wrong shape
and I think crocheted leaves will work better, do you think so?! ;o)
