A day by the sea...

Hello Dear Friends!
After a long period of hard work, I decided it was time for a day out and we went to the beach!

It was such a beautiful day! The beach was so crowded and there were people swimming! Imagine swimming in October!

It was my son who enjoyed it the most. He went running up and down the beach...

Collecting stones....

He enjoyed the swings at the beach...

Then we went to an amusement park...

On the crochet front;

I am remaking crochet hexagons;

so far 112 hexagons; approximately 300 to go...
Have a lovely week!

The longest week-end

Hello Dear Friends!
This was the longest week-end I have ever had! First I flew to Istanbul for work.This photo shows Pendik Marina:

After I was done ,I had plenty of time left till my flight and went to a place called 'buyaka' in Ümraniye region.I felt bad when I saw this:

and this;

I wished my Little Man was there with me to enjoy them all. But he was not that unlucky. When I returned back I found out that my husband booked us a surprise week-end ; a day in the village. So the moment I was home, I packed and left for the village called Tochni.

 Tochni is a traditional Cypriot village renovated.

I loved the experience because it reminded me of the summer holidays I spent with my grandma in the village in my childhood.

We stayed in this beautiful building. Our flat was the one on the ground flour on the left ; a two bedroom flat.

The kids were so happy with the pool and they had great time.

As for crochet;

I think using mercerized cotton for this project was not a good choice and I do not like how this project turned out to be so  I will undo it and add it to the list of failed projects.
That is all from me now. Have a wonderful week. Gaia.
