Yarny things

Hello Dear Friends,
Cyprus is a very hot island; perfect for the beach but not so perfect if you are working. I found myself unable to crochet most of the time because of the heat, but My Little Man's school friend's mother is expecting a baby girl in September and  I managed to crochet a baby girl blanket.Ta-daa!

I managed my first internet yarn purchase.These lovelies came from Bursa, Turkey.

They are 100% cotton. I have lots of ideas what to make of them but I am admiring a version of granny square and I will give it a try first.
I also received my first yarny gift: My sister went to Berlin this summer and brought me these two 'beyond my dreams' balls. They are linen.

The colour is sooooo beautiful; something blue-gray-greenish, very difficult to capture in a photo . Best gift ever!
Best wishes,
Gaia.

Summer 2019

Hello Dear Friends,
This is the longest summer of my life! It is like days are getting longer and longer...Of course , this is due to the fact that I am taking holidays at home this year: no going abroad.

The summer started with summer school. Summer school involved field trip as well.

Their subject was bees and beekeeping; hence the outfit.

We spent a lot of time at home ( something we don't do much because of my crazy working hours) , which involved turtle chasing, screen time, chess playing and for me coffee drinking while reading!

My dad's prickly pears.

I had to learn to peel them.

We spent a lot of time by the pool  or the sea.

My Little Man visited his grandmother (father's mother ) im the ICU. My mother was in the hospital for 10 days too. She is fine now; I hope to say the same for my mother-in-law soon too.

And although we missed a couple of swimming lessons; we were there most of the time.

We wish you a happy summer. Soon the school will start. Can't wait! 

GAia.
