Tulip Upside Down

I am making water bottle sacks for kids too! ;)  

Living Earthia

I've been rearranging some things around today in the sunshine streaming through the windows!

Last night I took a look at my stock of materials and fabrics. 

As new ideas fill in the canvas of creativity, I look at what is at my hands to decide what I am going to be working with, and what not yet; sort everything by fiber content; type of fabric, garments to be re-made; sort everything out by color - love playing with color! ;) 

Spring cleaning, if you will... 

Among all the supply, there is a special place in my heart for the Precious Box. It has all the bits and leftovers of favorite yarn, trim, buttons, leather, stripes of gorgeous fabrics, ribbons, etc - not such a big box, but there is so much goodness in it! 

I just finished customizing my water bottle sack, using the insides of this PB (Precious Box), and it felt like I was using a palette of paints ;))) Digging around the colorful texturized mess ;) 

Pictures to be posted tomorrow, the light is not so good right now.

But here are some more pictures I took during the day today: 

 aurora borealis bead

i absolutely adore sparkle and something "raw", so to say, for example, fiber - un-dyed wool (in this case), ... kind of paradoxical.. and kind of not at all ;)))

 On this new coat vest i'm making (new design, model piece) I sewed 4 tiny aurora borealis beads.. i placed them in such a way around the garment, that you can only see one at a time, from each angle just one ;) and you won't be able to see it easily, just the shine ... ♥

Cat Hats are in stock now, get your festival attire taken care of ;)

larger basket - wool, bits of various yarns put together - this one beautifully fits all 20+ pairs of handwarmers.. everything is organized and neatly sorted hehe ;)

 i totally love how thick and firm the basket came out, it holds the shape because it has this durable structure, - lots' of thin yarn together, tight stitch with a smaller hook. looving that mint and chocolate combo that just happened on it's own ;)) ♥

 crocheted basket for things - it holds things, that go in the pocket - keys etc. Very handy! Ladies who crochet, here's an idea of how to use up leftover yarn, - pile it up in one chunky yarn and knit away. 30 minutes work

cotton & lace 

scarves 

area rugs, both are circles! ;) mmmmm... dreaming of a LARGE round pouf! to sit on ;)

NYC Dance Parade 2011!!!

Last weekend New York has seen an amazing event, - beautiful, colorful, laughable, danceable! 

We were and are the Trance Family, yes, the lovers of life and Psytrance music ;)))

Sooo many people, so many smiles and laughter and sun and kids and soap bubbles and hula-hoops and miniskirts and eyelashes!!!!! 

Happy-happy times, incredible energy of dancing in sync in trance we dance... 

I think New York enjoyed it greatly! 

Down the streets of Broadway and then to Tompkins Square Park we danced out way..

Global Village deco

PULP event was generously spiced by the Global Village Production deco.. this was my third time seeing their art in action, and I think that deserves a stand alone post! What a great group of artists from UK they are! Magicians, every one of them, to be able to create an absolutely beautifully surreal environment... 

Here are some pictures of their creations, taken from the Global Village home page:
