Tucan strands

I am almost there. It took a while, but when *You have a dream* it all comes along.
It's an unique work, with the pattern taken from Internet, threads from all over the place and a whole bunch of years of waiting to be done.
I am almost in vision of the final result. I have the framing in my mind already and my hands are cherishing each second to make a cross stitch. And believe me, it's getting even easier to work on it, when you know that the end is near.
I am almost excited, but still have a few rows to get rid of this *almost*!

Love is!!!

Step by Step to an epic finish!

It's time to get my Tucan done. And step by step I am making this dream coming true.
I consider it to be a big opera of mine, 'cause it lasted a whole bunch of years, but just because I always got disturbed by other events and the present for'em.
I feel so happy with each stitch at this work. So close to the finish point and it's for myself. It ain't gonna be a present.
My kitchen walls will be decorated with it!
One step closer with each week:)
Show must go on!

Yoga blast!

Yesterday Yoga was a blast and a blessing. This is the a real demonstration of the Universe power over our wishes.
I believe I'm a champion at personal yoga training just because I show up at my classes all the time, dead, alive or whatever while others don't. So the reward for this is that I seldom get a tete-a-tete training. People, that's so cool:))
My back was in pain since last class, another one was cancelled so I went with this pain through the weekend. And BOOM! Yesterday was a new Asana set with all the stretching I adore, and even the splits are back in the game!!
That's all I've been dreaming about.
Yoga is the answer for everything I sometimes need:)

Weekend of contrasts!

This weekend we had some nice time watching a few good movies and some spare moments for some bad ones:)
So our good ones will be:
the LOFT (2015)
This means War (2012).
Please trust me and in case you wonder for a good easy movie, go for these ones. It is always hard to find smth interesting to watch lately so I've decided to forward my recommendations each time I find some cuts you should have look at:)
And the worst moment of film-watching goes to: "Iron Sky" and "Mirror mirror". Take my word upon it - don't waste any of your precious time:))
I also enjoyed a bit of cross-stitching with my hubs and this way two of my works went forward with a few cm. So excitetd to get back in touch with these two. I hope, soon it all be over and I'll have them on my walls:)
And I even found a perfect lighting for phone shooting of the pices.
Loveit loveit.

Living a loving life

Going through time, the leading thought in my mind is to be happy. Not Universally happy, not happy because I try to please everyone and everybody, but HAPPY because I can do what I've always dreaming of doing.
And you know what, that aknowledgment comes with time, experience and boldness. I can choose to be a pleaser and convince myself that it's the happiest way for me, but I also can force my attitude and start doing what I love.
I returned to my cross-stitching long-term pieces, I plan to sew some more interesting stuff for me, I love taking photos, of puppies as lately (I had to postpone that a little, 'cause I broke my hub's lenses and it was a big deal and I am so dreadfully sorry and I never expected that bad turn-out but I do want to shoot more and I'll stitch the camera to my hands just to mak sure it couldn't fall off) and of my home flowers.
Some of knitting projects may come up soon, some drawing is back in my life also. BUT, all this will never be the top of my happy life, cause the only one who can spice it up is my Hubby.
Love who you are, love what you do and love the LOVE of your life!

Hubby collection of me!

I think it's time to start a collection!

Florist aspirations

Every live form need attention and I'm a little said that I don't have as much time and energy as before for my flora hommies.
I love to touch them, to clean and wipe them, to water spray and just simply admire each color of their beauty. It so refreshing seeing new blossoms around you nevermindind your mood, ouside weather and air.
They say there are three thing you can watch all over again. I would add one more - home flowers. Differrent each day, aspire to amaze you with every of their leaf and flower.
Just breath and enjoy this mesmerizing view.

Uncensored responsibilies

Being over controlling person leads to extra resposibility in my mind. That's why, having a dog, which wasn't my decision at all, was a challenge for me.
I accepted it and of course, it's a Soul we're talking about, with all it's characters and good'en'bad moods. And as long as it's in my life, it will be at my best terms.
For sure, I suppose I might be tough and serios in education, but sometimes it got me nervous and out of my confort zone. With time, I found my path and my way of treating the situation and now I even enjoy to go out and educate our little princess.
Being a little over this situation, I feel so afraid when I hear some of people taking dogs just for show of, beauty and all other wrong reasons.
For real, so many irresponsable pet owners and so many cuties to suffer.
Please be aware of your choises and own the responsibilities.
Meanwhile here are some of our friends:)

Drinking in family

It's Summer. And so to speak, drinking habbits are changing. At least for me. As to my love, he's in Tea Ceremony as always.
I do love to make some homemade fruit juices. Of course, smothies are the best, but it's more of a meal than beverage to me:)
So here is a little of our every day drinking party.

Morning horror

After 36 h without electricity, and all thoughts messed up in my mind with concerns of daily habitat and praying for not forgetting anything at home for work and vice versa, I endeavoured into "20 Great american short stories" on my way to work.
Today's reading began with "What was it?" by Fitz-James O'Brien. I read, slept, I got agitated when I realised I am reading a horror story at 7 a.m. Wow. It was interesting. Not fully awaken, I got chills up my spine. But blurry ones. I still kind of was sleeping:)
Nice story though. Never liked the horror stories, but they have some new emotionally impact on me that early in the morning.
And if you know me, you I'm all about new sensations!

Catching the Sun bathing

This Summer is weird in temperature. Where's the hotness of the air? Anyone?
So, each Sunny second we try to get on bike and go biking with Isla. Still have to do some more catches of Isla running by my hub's bike.
Oh, by the way, she was named after Isla Fisher, that's why I no longer spell her as Ayla:)
This being said, we found some small ponds near our place and checked them out last weekend. As long as no drunkers are around it's pretty cute, but it's a small area for Sunbathing and too many people knowing of it. Hopefully, next time we'll get more intelligent people hanging around.
