Lampada - Easter candle

Being a Godmother is "all" about spoiling rotten the Godchildren - or at least it is for me as I am so very far from them. With my hubby, we're lucky enough to have three Godchildren, two girls and a boy, siblings. At Easter time - which in Greece is the most celebrated holiday and this year it's on the 12th of April - tradition wants Godparents buying special, decorated candles for the children to take to midnight mass on Saturday so they can lit it with the New Light. The church's courtyard fills up with people holding tall candles in hand and painted red eggs to "toast" when the celebratory "He's Risen" sounds.

Sibling love

Sibling love is a tricky thing. Mystical to those who are an only child; raging with jealousy/rivalry or kind and comforting and everything in between for the siblings themselves; a "playfield" for psychologists. Sibling love is incomprehensible because it's different for every "pair" of sibling but it's also an unquestionable fact because we FEEL it throughout our lives. Through time, it changes and evolves like we as individuals do. (Thank heavens cos otherwise my brother would be still pulling my hair and I'd be still jealous of him! )

A recap of Christmas 2014

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I left you with promises of more to come but I - as I suspect everybody- got caught in Christmas preparations, which means I was diligently working on the "more" part just haven't got any time to post it! I need to work on my time management this year...

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

My favorite time of the year...and I'm sure I'm not alone with this feeling. I have so many ideas, goals for this holiday season that I feel I'm already behind. Gifts, cards, tags, decoration for the wreath, garland, the swag for the front door and of course the Christmas tree!

Being back feels great!

Many projects in the making for Christmas, as in all kinds of treat-boxes, hanging and free-standing ornaments, centerpieces and home-decor to brighten up the gloomy days. Also all through Spring/Summer/Fall I was making gifts for birthdays and other occasions, like the graduation cap box I made for my darling "Little Sister's" graduation from the University

Thank You For The Music

In my family music always played an important role. I went to a music-oriented school from the very beginning till graduation; played the piano and was singing in the school's choir. I got to see half of Europe with that choir and loved every second of singing with others together whether it was in a church, by a camp-fire or a concert-hall! My older daughter falling in my footsteps also plays the piano and is singing in the Children's Choir of Kodaly Conservatory in Athens, Greece

Paris

No, I'm not going to nor coming back from Paris but I loved the Eiffel-tower box file from SVGCuts Amelie's accessories so much I wanted to make it for someone. I hope my cousin, Stella (who will get the box filled with goodies for her birthday), will get to go someday and see the real Eiffel tower for herself!

Birdhouse a'la Snapdragon Snippets

I have a really long list of gifts to craft and my time alone and undisturbed is coming to an end soon (tho that doesn't mean I'll stop crafting of course!) I still need to make a god head-start on some Christmas projects too.

We're going camping...and bringing gifts with us!

There's a magical place in Evia Island, Greece, where little kids, teenagers, "big kids" and even grown ups can have intense fun or a relaxing time! This place is called Club Agia Anna Summer Resort . It is our choice of camping place for more than 10 years now

Half of a pair of running shoes for a Half Marathon

A couple of months back (April, 2013) my brother decided to run the Half Marathon in Budapest, Hungary which took place on the Margaret Island . He is not a professional athlete tho he's "in" in so many activities I can't keep track of them. He was training for approx (?) a year and for just the experience and testing himself he did it! 2 hours 17 minutes and 40 seconds it took for him from start to finish!
