Summer Ideas

Ciao all, the lemon mask works perfectly.. I just got told not to use it more than once per week as it can burn your skin :/ I read somewhere else you can use it every day.. My advice is: test it yourself! Lemons are yellow and make us think of the yellow summer ahead... I would like to prepare and have something home made before the spring comes, so I was looking around the net for summer patters and found this.. isn't it wonderful?! Unfortunately I cannot link the picture but it is a salad/fruit bowl made out of an old LP! Fantastic! I have a bag like this and it looks super!
I have also noticed in shops that this year "shirring" dresses are up in fashion.. and those should really be easy dresses to make.... I have found this tutorial on how to shir and I may get some elastic thread today to try do some shirring myself.. Here's another good one.
I am even thinking on shir some old shirts... maybe without starting from scratch, or an old dress I have. Well.. I go get the elastic thread and maybe will post an update later!!!

Happy shirring!! ♥

The Economizer

Well .. they better be! I started using lemon juice as face tonic. After all it's full of Vitamin C and I have heard around that it makes a cheap but good skin supplement. You should wash your face good, remove all the make up, then apply some freshly squeezed lemon juice. I put my cream or oil after, but for extreme cures it's best to live uncovered over night. It does itches a LOT when you put it, so don't get scared. I did, but apparently it's normal that it stings, your skin needs to get used to it.

I still need to find out what I can use in place of Vitamine E oil, it's too expencive to buy, and I am sure I can find that vitamine or anything else to prevent wrinkles somewhere out there in nature.. so if any of you know, please tell me!!!

As you may have understood, I am trying to economize as much as possible so this is the first step: home-made creams and stuff. I am thinking of sewing a summer bag, I'll think of a crazy pattern and we'll see. It's a work in progress (in my mind at the moment). Also, I am not sure if you noticed but this year denim shorts are again in fashion! What a better way to transform your old jeans you were probably going to throw away? I remember doing this when I was more or less 14, fashion is funny, the 90s are back!... but we love it, don't we?! (Yes, in our own way)

Well, lemony face is going to sleep.... finger crossed, I hope not to find any surprise tomorrow! :) Ciao ciao

My Jim

My Jim (aka the perfect guy) left. This was one moth and two weeks ago. Exactly one month and one day ago, I saw him for the last time, when I said that it was just a temporary thing.....
Today I still have his stuff laying around the house... actually now they're packed and waiting to be picked up. But when? I don't know and he doesn't say. The saddest thing, because when a story finishes it's nice to understand why, so you can gain some new perspective for the next one. And anyways, it's just sad to not see someone like this anymore. I asked myself why and how is it possible for people to change their minds overnight, without telling you any reasons. Then I stoppped asking questions I will never have an answer for.
Maybe I mistake and he wasn't my Jim. Jim would not leave like this. But Jim is also very fictional. I love him cus he is the perfect guy for the weirdest situation and he never questions it. He is just happy to be in it.

Thumb up for Jim Clancy.

Following Instructions

Howdy!!

I am happy because I had finally time to follow the project from Elena Fiore's blog - the handmade little pocket book. It is fantastic!!!

I add the pix of the finalized project:



I began studying Psychology therefore I have less time for the sewing and crafts projects... but I'll get back soon with a new blog that me and some friends are working on.
It will be a female ezine where we can share tips, links, etc..

If you're curious have a look here!!

Great day ♥
