Spring/summer’2009 preview III. Breeze Tank Corset

breeze_logo
Well… I have some doubts about this project. I wanted to make something
with motifs,  kind of abstract and with white accent.  But looks as I’ve chose
wrong motifs. Do you think so, right?! But, I still like the style of this top and
if I decide to write a pattern, probably I’ll try some other Pinwheel motifs or
something like this  😉

Oh and Kristin just in Love with this amazing aqua blue color. I’ve used Katia
Bamboo
yarn, but this one can be easy substituted by Tahki Cotton Classic,
available in such number of colors.

Another project is Crocheted Bolero with short ruffles sleeves and featured
satin ribbon put all around of the body of bolero and crocheted applique on
the back.

This bolero made from Catania, which is one of my favorite so long. But Patons
Grace is pretty similar yarn and work just perfect and not least, still is available
anywhere.

We are back

… HAPPY, full of energy and lots of wonderful memories!!! It was our first trip
to Miami, FL and we’ve had a BLAST and so enjoined every second!! The first
several days we had lot of swimming (no doubts! ;). Also visited such pretty
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens  and  Alligators alley next day.  I hold baby
alligator in my hand and oh my, they are enough heavy even if about 23-25″
long  … but absolutely pleasant to touch! LOL

… And on the 3rd and 4th days Florida showed us local thunderstorms… Well,
we knew that it’s not the best time of year to visit Miami, but the cause of this
unplanned vacation was Igor’s business trip for just a couple hours meeting,
even if flight takes about 7 hours. So, we decided turn it into a family vacation
we all wanted so hard and I believe any weather and any other places would
work just perfect for us 🙂

But sure, we definitely got a luck to have just two rainy days and between
rains we have visited absolutely beautiful Flamingo gardens and some other
Amazing places (still need to upload pics). The only sad thing is that we have
missed Para-sailing and Jet-skiing  because of a windy weather… uhh! But
I hope we will try it in some of day!
