Giving is Receiving ;)

I contemplated for a while what present to give for a birthday of my friend  and decided that she'll appreciate a scarf, made with unbleached organically grown cotton - naturally so! ;)
Oh, btw, knitting with the needles, that my dear friends Katya and Sergey gave me, is such a pleasure to the eye and to the touch, combined with the feeling of natural combed cotton yarn is pure bliss! 

Burn, baby, burn!

The Man had burned, so did the Temple... friends are coming back from Burning Man... coming back without me  this year. But all of this define the beginning of New Year anyway. This week I'll be all ears listening to everybody's stories about the magical place that Black Rock City is ;) 

Vest meets East

 The vest I made a couple of months ago has received finishing touches from me today. I thought, that some bright orange trim around the edges and the same yarn tassels to tie the vest would be awesome, and so it is. A little eastern flair with this color combination, and the idea trimming the garment in this way makes it slightly costume-y, in the best possible way. Thick yarn knits up very fast, is warm and pleasantly cozy and chunky to look at and wear. Loving it!

You name it

Yesterday I made first batch of labels for Earthia! Yay, they came out amazingly old and yellowish, with nice slight crinkle - they really look like old paper, and that was the idea! With the next round I'm going to take the pictures of the whole process. Twine rope for hanging, me thinks...  

Of course, there is going to be hand writing on each of them, personal touch, no more no less! ;)

I, my Summer, and not yet Fall

It is this time of the year, when you can almost smell Autumn... It is not here yet - the day is still long, the sun is hot and the legs are bare. In my mind I see colors of both, Summer and Fall... I see flowery patterns and warm cozy sweaters and boots, I see freedom... I feel bright! :)

(The moccasin boots are astonishing! They're one of a kind, vintage creations of time and craftsmanship... I found the image of them at freepeople.com vintage store. The dress is from there as well. )
