My secret Bunny arrived

Do you remember the Secret Santa? For those who don’t know, our Est group made a Christmas presents swap and it was great fun for all! We decided to do the same for Easter, with the same way!Everyone who has opted has completed a questionnaire, and Artmind selected all of them, matched them in pairs and sent to each one of us the completed questionnaire of another person to give us feedback to make something according to the taste of our present recipient. My match for the Easter bunny was my sweet friend Ntina from Sweden, aka MistyAurora! Ntina is Greek and makes wonderful jewelry! I knit for her an iPod/mobile case and a small lip gloss case in her favorite color, aqua blue. Take a look at her blog here! Yesterday my secret bunny arrived with the post from Leina, aka XbyLeinaNeima, from Estonia! The present was so beautifully packed, with a cute pink rice-paper and ribbon; I didn’t want to rib it. Inside there was not one present, but actually 5!!! Two beautiful delicious handmade soaps, each of them hiding a second gift inside. One with a cat from stained glass inside, and the other with a small heart-pendant!!! And a beautiful choker, all of them in my favorite colors!!! My joy was so big, I made pictures of them immediately, though the light was not good. Look how gorgeous they are!! Leina makes fantastic jewelry and accessories. Take a look at her shop and blog! A big thank you Leina for the wonderful presents and a big thank you to Mitsy too, who organized the swap again!

Small sweet caps




On Sunday morning we gathered at Sofie Vamvaka’s place (Kangaroo) and knit together baby caps for the “KNIT ONE-SAVE ONE” campaign. We had a wonderful time! We knit and chatted and had coffee! I have a parcel ready to go, but I’m expecting some more to come from ladies that couldn’t make it on Sunday and will knit at home and bring them to Sofie’s shop.
I want to thank first of all my good friend Sofie, who gave us the space, and organized the whole event, by moving later a programmed seminar!!! I also want to thank all the ladies who responded to the invitation and came!!
Thank you girls!!!
Ι wish that next year we will be much more!!!

How time flies!

How quickly ten days passed since my last post! It is true that I didn’t do much, because lately I feel with no energy, my batteries are empty! I started making a purse for the “Africa” challenge, but it is still outside hanging to dry!!! The challenge of course is finished and the winner was Amanda from ExoticFlavor, who chose the next theme, “Aqua”! I have started making a necklace and a scarf, I hope this time I will have them ready on time!


But I managed to finish my “Secret Santa” present and the samples for the “Get Eurofied” promo!
What are these?
For those who don’t know, our Est group is going to swap Christmas presents this year! Everyone who has opted has completed a questionnaire, and Artmind selected all of them, matched them in pairs and sent to each one of us the completed questionnaire of another person to give us feedback to make something according to the taste of our present recipient. Well, I finished mine and shipped it already! At the end, every one of us will make a photo with the present she got and it will be posted on our team’s blog.


"Get Eurofied" is a promotion that a fellow member of our team suggested and organized. It is boxes with samples of our work that are very popular abroad. I made some pins, brooches, rings and egg-cups!
I have also finished some knits, but I couldn’t make any decent photos yet to show!

Have I told you? My Vito is in love with Mollie and is crying all day long to go out to meet her! I open the kitchen door and let her in to come and say hi, so that he stops crying!
