...as I never expected I could make it to Day #15, yet here we are! So, what shall I write about today? Well, today, I would like to write about how I started practising Tai Chi Chuan and how this helped me overcome fatigue and stress. I know, everybody says knitting is the new yoga …
...start!!! Yes, you can finally start the official MKAL knitting and, if you haven't, you can always sign up and start knitting, there is plenty of time for you to start working on that #mindlessknitting project! As you may know, a Holiday Season MKAL has become a happy habit for me; I know that knitters …
...you can find (among other projects that I cannot share for the moment) a couple of socks that I'm knitting for my teenage-son: his feet have grown to a larger size, which means new "Santa Socks" this year! This is my only "fun" project these days, by fun I mean a project that is not …
...is a real family treat and I managed to learn a lot about making and baking bread last summer, thanks to Craftsy and Zoë François! I learnt how to make French baguettes, pizza dough and variations of breads (like pita bread for instance) and our meals have been tastier with minimum effort! I highly recommend …
... a "must", but you know better than limiting your horizons: he has written more about Christmas than the famous "Christmas Tale" and his whole work is now Public Domain, so, just find your way to gutenberg.org and read as much as your heart wishes! My "Dickens favorite" for Christmas 2018 is from the short …
...a very special holiday in the Greek Orthodox faith (which is mine) and a very special day in our family: my late brother and my late mother-in-law used to celebrate their nameday, two people we miss so much, yet they will always live in our hearts. Today, I want to tell you why Saint Nicholas …
...to a Holidays Season Count-down! Here is the plan I have in mind: you know how hectic these days can be, lots of things to do, especially when you are a crafter, I bet you are working on those last minute gifts, aren't you? Well, same here, so I thought if I share my pre-Holidays …
...seems the proper thing to do these days. I really feel grateful for so many things in my life. Thanksgiving is not a "Greek" holiday, but I do like the thought of expressing gratitude and celebrating with friends and family. Being a member of this huge international community of knitters, yes, I am referring to …
This pattern belongs to the series of “Le emozioni che nessuno vuole” (the emotions nobody wants). Sara Sol had this wonderful idea, to create special colorways for these “negative” emotions, these feelings we do our best to avoid. We know we can’t. Life is that way; so, we better deal with them, understand why they …
...be over and I am so happy that I can finally show you some pictures of my (already fnished) prototype! I made this shawl using a mercerized cotton yarn, a Greek brand of international fame: El. D. Mouzakis' "Petalouda" -which is the Greek word for butterfly- has never disappointed me. So, there you are! Crisp …
... as much as possible these days. You know, there is this room in our flat that is supposed to be my own "study-workshop", well, when I get to tidy up and organize everything in a proper way. I am aware of my luck, don't get me wrong, but the truth is that rooms don't …
...are in my mind these days, as I am trying to organize my schedule for 2018. After years of using various planners in order to "stick to the plan" of the week or the month ahead, I decided I am not that "organizeable" a person and I turned into a Bullet Journal to find the …
