Trust the magic of beginnings!

Back on February I wrote a really small list of resolutions for this year. As we are closing in on September, I have started to think about resolutions and the year that has all ready passed. Have I done any of the things that I set out to do? Did I actually try??? I got a little depressed and then I read this quote:


 and started thinking. Why should I focus on the negative? Why not try to think about the positives? The things I did and the things that weren't in the list but I tried out. So this post is a celebration for the new things I did in 2014. You will find the list below. I hope this is an inspiration to all of you out there. Try to focus on the positive and stay strong!

1. Went to a Latin dance class ( I tried it once and think was enough)
2. Opened an etsy shop
3. Got a yearly gym membership
4. Going regularly to the gym.
5. Got out of a really stressful situation.
6. Went on a hike
7. Got out of a really hurtful personal situation
8. Went on a night hike
9. Met alot of new people and made some new friends.
10. Visited two new cities in different countries. ( Prague and Budapest)
11. I went on a bazaar to show my work.
12. Fostered two kitties. (they are now happily adopted!!)


Not bad for half a year! Maybe there is more I haven't written on the list but reading this 12 is enough to make my day and see how I have changed this past months.

Monday's Find #8

Ok, today's Monday Find is about a real life friend. I would like to talk a little about an amazing young woman and crochet teacher I met during the spring. As you already know I attended a crochet seminar at LU Creative Studio and had a blast!! Jorgina is an amazing teacher! She is calm, patient and helpful. If you are in Athens, Greece and want to learn how to crochet and more have a look at LU Creative Studio. Thanks to her I learned new things and she taught me that nothing is beyond my reach.


You can see her work and find out more about her here

Summer in the city v.1

Do you remember this song from Joe Cocker??? I love it!It makes me think of summer, relaxed times with friends and the never ending love for my city Athens.



Lately I find myself wanting to take more photos of my city. Most of them are a little dark but I hope you will enjoy them.Keep in mind that most of them are taken with my Samsung Galaxy S4 and are not remotely professional. Every comment you have is more than welcome.
