Panilonco Cabernet Sauvignon

  Having resumed my wine supplies from home, my hubby is the one who's in charge to keep my glass full and my heart in love. And follow my thoughts, why not to share with some of my impressions about middle class  affordable wine.

Yesterday's evening was a sip of Panilonco Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile 2014.
That's what I found on the web:

 Panilonco Cabernet Sauvignon is a great representation of the wine upon which Chile's wine industry hangs its hat. Its deep red hue reveals ripe red berries, blackberries, plums and black pepper on the palate. The mouth feel is full and supple, with velvety tannins and a long, round aftertaste. It's a big wine at the very small price of$4.99* a bottle. If you've been bemoaning the dearth of affordable, available California Cabernets, Panilonco Cabernet Sauvignon is a must-try.

I'd like to point out that descovering the New World Wine is enchanting. It's like a new toy in your childhood. All new, smells good and makes you smile:)

So, as of this Cabernet Sauvignon, it's still young. It's all gorge, but I do consider its best value still to come.
The color as my previous night was young. Of course all that creamy structure, black currant tones are all at their fair places, tannins are the ones who close the first impression, and  a vivid bitterness reopens the pleasure in an after tone.

But wait, we have tonight and a little more time to breathe for this liquid of God.

In the name of great Cause!

My hobbies transfigured into a way of life and I am so blessed to have enough knowledge to somehow make something nice out of it.
That being said, I vowed for a better cause. it's just an idea that will make my hobby usefull not only to me but to some others as well.
So, stay close, watch me out and send some positive vibes and I'll be the one to bring some smiles to a few of  sweet faces.
For now, I'm leaving you with this Floral Scroll that was done a few weeks ago.
My framing went al DYI this time and I love it:)

Unconditional hobbies

Doing smth by the will of someone, or restricted by rules, time or conditions may not ever work for me. I believe I do what I want and whenever I want. But, I enstrusted myself with the idea of ending things before starting another ones.
That's why I'm working on my rabbit-doll now without making myself busy with some other guddies.
And in the process of making it look good not only in person, but to document the process as well, I do it step by step.
Proudly, I have all pices done, just need to catch some daylight at home in order to make some pretty pictures for you.
And yesterday, in a conversation with a friend of mine, we finalized the idea of the eyes for my knitted toy. Of course www.pinterest.com is the best with everything, specially in the DYI. My choise was on these ones.
But aside my handmade hobby, I have another beauties to work on. And this are my flowers. Yesterday, a thought crossed my mind, flowers do need a lot of time and your energy, as everything else you do for pleasure.
But it all pais in the end.
Go give some love and water to your flowers and have a nice day full of colors!

I have a feeling!

"I have a feeling", continued Francie, "that 1917 will be more important than  any year we've ever had."
"You say that about every year," claimed Neely."First, 1915 was going to be the most important. Then 1916, and now, 1917."
"It will be important. For one thing, in 1917, I'll be sixteen for real instead of just in the office.
"A tree grows in Brooklyn." Betty Smith.

I have a feeling that every and each year that comes, will be more important. Because it's ahead of us, it's with the new beginnings and new dreams to achive.
And of course I have a resolution, believe or not, just one - To be happy will all of my successes. Because life's going by so fast that sometimes we forget to enjoy how great it is.
And on that great note - check this out! My TUCAN is over. Like really "in frame over"!!!
Please don't ask me how long it took, how was the work-process and etc. I have so many memories and feeling attached to it, that I've just decided to enjoy it.

Sure, my hands are on smth new. Have gone so far already.

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!
