I finally finished the gym suit order. This is for the little girl that is going to international competitions. She wanted something special personal and very flashy :) - it is why it is full with swarovsky crystals – and this took LOADS of time to apply. I mostly use hot fix stones and I have vacuum machine – but the problem with vacuum that it cools down the temperature and it is not working the best. So turning it on and off every short period of time wasnt really what I was hoping for. But at least everybody is happy with a result.

Suit is closing behind with a blind zipper and small hooks. Its is made of lycra fabric.

I never thought I could be influenced by weather....but today it seems I feel so uneasy and so slightly depressed even. No explanation for it specificallly today so I must blame it on grey weather. Sky is grey, everything is grey around and weahter hanging in a "middle grey" as well - it is about 12 degrees which is not really winter but not really autumn as well. YUK....People seems to be today exactly in the same greyish mood, there are almost nobody on the street........

So I am trying to get myself up and keep going......did you ever had a "weather moods"? How you dealing with it?

And on the other note I thought how interesting it was....... What do we eat for a week.......

Okay guys I am officially in love LOL....

We bought this little guy couple of days ago and I am still looking in awe how it working all by itself and also communicating with us when necessary. With our superbusy living (I work from 9 till 18 or sometimes 21 in the shop) I hardly have time for any cleaning. I love my house clean so when I am "crowling" home and trying to cook, clean and help kids with homework I kinda getting drained....you also noticed there are not much art lately huh? LOL

So when our IRobot arrived I have a clean house without almost doing anything besides clicking on the button :)....we are such a good team, I am taking the dust away and Bumba (called by Melody) happily bussling and vacuuming :)

You dont know anything about IRobots yet? Well....than you definately should!

Yes, cold weather is slowly coming to here as well. And because Melody grew up from almost all of her coats I decided to make her something new. And of course a Hello Kitty beret to match with it ;)

Yesterday was our "drive to Holland" day so I decided to make some very nice lunch for the way. Learning from my Japanese friends a new way of making your lunch is truly exciting! If you never heard of Obento lunch boxes just google it and you will be amazed of variety and beauty of them.

So this is my first attempt. Etienne said it was tasty LOL

  

On the way we stopped for lunch in the forest...so beatiful when it is half misty half sunny...looks almost like in the fairy tale....


( More forest... )


When we were driving back in the late evening we had such a great traffic jam (not really)....1 km in 14 min sounds fun? LOL NO IT WASNT! I am still sleepy because we were home around 2am....

About a week ago after one of the publication in the magazine about our shop - teacher came by from the school to ask if it would be okay for his class to come and visit us. Kids are 6-7 years old and they picked up fashion as they subject :) how lovely! :) So today I had 22 little visitors.

Brought me so much memories...(I was a school teacher for elementary school for kids from 6 to 10 years old). TRULY and truly enjoyed it. Showed them around, also showed how I can transform different things to a fashionable, also they had fun looking at industrial overlock (which is working super fast) and our super cool Embrodery machine (Designer Diamond of Husquarna).

Here is some photos which I tried to make...LOL , explaining and doing it in the same time was incredibly difficult. But I hope they had fun too :)

 
   

They also made for us such a lovely present - wooden braclets. I got blue one and Etienne orange one (as a dutchy hahahha)....wearing now and feeling warm in my heart.
