Yes, this is me! Too busy to do the things I relaly need to. Including posting something in my blog.

And I have some things to show you. Lighting the Christmas tree in the town i sone of them!

Christmas is so close, I am a liitle bit scarred if I will do it all in time. Chance are I will. So I am back doing it all now…

Will get back to this blog with pictures soon.

Hope you enjoy the 16th days until Christmas and have not as many things to do!

Може да не сте чули за децата, или за наградите.

Но чуйте песента!!!

Две момичета от Родопско село – сестри на 7 и 10 години пеят зашеметяващо.

За мен това е новата Ода на радостта

This link will lead you to Utube. I have not showed video here so it does not look fancy, but it is amazing!

Make sure you have 4 minutes to admire these amazing sisters – 7 and 10yrs old  singing in the most amazing way possible!

Too many “amazing’!!! But it is! It is traditional Bulgarian song, though with a modern twist and I am used to our songs.. Still I am speechless! Listen to their song!!!

It is a rainy, rainy day. Another one. It is one of the attributes of the autumn here. A cup of tea would feel just perfect!

It is another hard day too. I fell like a tea bag in some awkward way. I hope it will be all OK. Currently trying to be grateful for what is here now…

I am going to make a cup of tea for myself now! And maybe bake a cake… It is rainy, dark and cold outside. Perfect for a late afternoon tea and cake, isn’t it?

It was not a very hot summer and it is not over yet… but I feel as if it will end in an hour…

The beach is dabgerous with beautifully calm waters on the surface and strong current beneath. Too strong to swim. There are 4 weeks till the beginning of the school year and one till the time I have to sent my Doll Quil tSwap quilt. My studio is emerging slowly from repair, repainting, rearranging…etc mess… and I am dreaming of getting it all ready…

In the mean time I have to choose two tables, their position and.. here comes the hardest part – the tables height. I was measuring and walking around stores for a week now. Which means visiting a few stores in a day, just one day, and 2 hours, but I am not positive I will get luckier with rest… It seems I need a 100cm high table and found no 100cm higg shelves/cabinets or legs..

Yesterday, only a few hours after measuring my arms in various positions,,, I found the Uniform Studio new studio making story here. with great tips on setting the space.

It is a beautiful, functional and inspiring studio and a creative DIY project on a budget. Smart assembling, visual appeal… all looks fantastic and I would borrow some ideas… But despite I followed almost the same strategy – low budget, phased plan, priorities ranked in the very beginning, 2 work areas and storаgе,  I am not able to make something similar. I feel uncomfortable placing my sewing table facing a wall. It is partly feng shui crazyness /wall in front and sitting with my back towards the door/,  partly day light misuse problem /sitting with my back to the light, or in a dark corner…. Either way it is unlikely to do it. I love the central big table concept  and it is really functional, but with a sewing table facing the room, not a wall.. it may end  looking /and feeling!/ crowded…

How is yours sewing space? Do you have a central high table? How did you determined the height of your high work table?

I am searching for ideas and advice. Going to sleep now before another measurrng day maybe.

I will make my best to post a short description here and some pics as I just read someone, worried how many things their partner likes… My faves are many, many pages, so I will definitely make small selection here later today in case my partner feels the same way.

I am back from an /almost/ week vacation, almost finished 2 shawls and knitting a third one.
Visited a lovely little party today and had a fantastic walk in a sunny field in the evening.
Joined Facebook and published a page there.
Wrote to many lists with too many items in them for my weekly tasks to feel comfortable with…
Have dozens of new beautiful pictures and no time to upload them.
Hope you are all doing well and enjoying the summer. It is too hot here lately. But still it is lovely.

I try to buy my mom a nice rose bouquet and go to her office every year on my birthday. I usually pick up some fresh garden roses from the local flower market. The strange thing this year was that the lady I bought the roses from last year not only remembered me, but the fact I wrapped them in tissue – from my bag too… It seems it is strange enough but I wanted the right shade of green and had some… so… brought it with me.

Here is a glimpse of the rose I bought myself. It is a pity to buy a bouquet and not take one for yourself, I think.
