New jewelry-playing with new materilas

Almost  a whole month is passed since my last post!and only one month is ahead of us before Christmas!! I don't understand how quickly time slips from my hands.... I will try to make a brief review of this month.....

My iron broke, my glasses, my watch and my p/c!!!!I bought a new p/c, struggled for two days to move all my files and programs, but I still can not connect to the internet!!!On Monday I'm expecting a technician to come and fix it!

In the meanwhile I managed to finish an unfinished shrug finally:

and made a lot of new necklaces, most of them have already been sold and some of them I have not been able to take pictures:

I couldn't resist the temtation and bought new materials, silk cocoons and rods hand-dyed and yarn:

and made these necklaces:

I have two new bags almost finished and the perfect way to show you how to adjust a zipper to your jacket/wet or bag, without having the wrong side looking ugly when the zipper is open, but I will show it to you in a next post! take a pick of what I will show you ;)

and now I must get to work, two christmas bazaars are on the way and I have to stock up!!!

Just finished!

Sales are very very slow lately in my shop and I decided to knit something for myself :)
I knit a sweater in lavender purple with a fabulous lace pattern:

 I finally took pictures and listed a shrug I finished some time ago:

Lace patterns are my favorites!You can find the instructions for the lace stitches here!

summer laziness

I admit it! The heat of the summertime has made me lazy! In the office I am dysfunctional in the morning, and I cannot sit in front of the computer by no means! I open it only for the necessary erads, to check my messages, to see the movement in my shop and that’s all… I’m bored to read (I have innumerable newsletters kept in order to read them at some time), I have not visited other blogs for quite some time (please forgive me), I seldom or almost not visit my favorite forums , and my blog is naturally neglected . The only thing that I think of these days are my short summer holidays that begin Sunday!!! I have however a post that I struggle for days which I will try to finish before I leave for holidays and with the occasion of new reward that I received, I decided to make a short post today and to to show also what I make these days, because a lazy knitter does never stop from being a knitter hehehe.

I finished therefore this shrug with ruffles and listed it in my shop, as well as a white one with blue and red stripes that I had knit in spring, but had not sewed the flowers.

I asked a friend of mine to come and take pictures of me wearing my shrugs (old and new), because I believe that they look more beautifully worn, than on the mannequin, and I think it was a good thought, because in two days the yellow shrug that I knit last year was sold and shipped for America!

I just finished a tank top in grey dark (it needs washing and ironing) and began a new shrug in peanut green, in order to have something to knit in the bus!

When will I finish these bags? Each day I promise to myself that I will open the sewing machine and sew the lining of the purses, but ...... I said, I am lazy these days ;)

I’m so excited

Do you remember this shrug I had in my shop? It was bought from a girl from the U.S. to wear it in her wedding last autumn! I was in big agony if it would be delivered on time for the wedding, but fortunately Lindsey received it the last day before leaving for the wedding and she was very happy with it! A couple of days ago, she sent me this beautiful picture! Look how pretty she is and how sweet it looks on her!!! Thank you so much for the picture Lindsey :)

But my excitement is double! In the new issue of Vivalamoda there is an article (Queen of the cards) with photo shoot of European creations. Isis from paperflower had the great idea to feature in the magazine: a EST photo shoot. The idea was members who wanted to collaborate to send one or two items to Isis to photograph on a model. The participants were:

Loni - avaloni.etsy.com , Andreia - aracnedesigns.etsy.com, Evelyn - sumikoshop.etsy.com , Moira - paleolochic.etsy.com , Εve - creationsbyeve.etsy. com , Mette - TheBroochBoutique.etsy.com, Roberta - tostoini.etsy.com , Greet - fleurfatale.etsy.com , Claudia - deepindigo.etsy.com , Sabine - queenBlingerie.etsy.com

Take a look at the great job Isis did:

Thank you Gilbea and Isis!
