Well, whether you celebrate today or not (I mean even when being with someone), a Sunday is always a good occasion for some desert to go along with your late-morning coffee. I never really celebrated Valentine’s day, as in my mind it was always associated with those awkward days in elementary school, when the popular…
DIY Dreamcatcher and dreams…
I have always been a dreamer. I ‘ve mentioned it before. Lately I ‘ve felt inspired in so many ways and found so many new things to dream about, that I almost feel complete only by dreaming of them. Is that absurd? I think not, as I am sure that many people like me find a…
DIY Christmas Wreath. Merry Christmas!
I met a lady in the train yesterday whom I know from the gym classes I take. She is lovely, highly educated, but so far unlucky in life. When I asked her how she was, she told me “these days are a bit difficult for me, being lonely and all”… I tried to change the…
Drying citrus fruits for decorations
Do you ever notice that some feelings are associated with smells? Today it had to smell like orange. And clove. It had to be Christmas in every way possible around the house, as Christmas is the best anti-depressant for the moody winter days. Drying fruit for decorations proved to be much messier than I thought,…
Fragile dreams… (dedicated to my sister)
I have a soul that likes to hide. Half in the light and half in some very dark shadows. These two extremes have somehow found an ephemeral balance to the point of a certain kind of numbness. Never before did I feel so lost in thoughts as I do now. And never before did I…
DIY Christmas decorations (Galaxy circles)
As promised, the second super fast and easy Christmas decoration is now online too! No particular skills are needed for this one either! So for this decoration I used kid’s modelling paste (air dries) and some glitter and other shiny “galaxy” shapes. Method: Cut a small piece of the paste (cover the rest of it…
DIY Christmas decorations (Christmas Stars)
This year Christmas came back home. And by home I mean my parent’s house, where I grew up and after my dad died was abandoned, as my mom couldn’t stay in such a “negatively” charged environment any more. So it remained empty for 5 years. Difficult, challenging and sad years where we had to go…
Cinnamon biscuits, friends and Christmas.
We had a really wonderful Sunday with friends today. A large brunch, some November ice-creams (it is always a good time for ice-cream), lots of laughs, love, new souls, and latte cappuccino’s! It could not be better. This whole meeting really made me feel that we are close to the Christmas season, when everyone returns home…
Some thoughts on self doubt.
A wise woman once said to me “Change is a law of nature, but fortunately humans have the ability to re-adjust”. I often ask myself what is right and what is wrong. If I am a good person or a bad one. If I am too little or too much for each occasion. How my worth…
Homemade herbal bath teas.
I don’t think anyone will disagree that Saturday is the best day of the week. You have the time to rest, go out, do the things you were waiting for the whole week and still have one day of sleep to go. I tend to take my time and think more on Saturdays. I plan,…
Grandma’s rustic Spinach Pie!
Having moved to my old, (and four years abandoned) house recently, means facing everyday “decay” challenges. A house that had no electricity, many broken roof tiles and weathered wooden doors for that long, is no easy thing and as winter approaches (thank God it’s Greece) I am in a constant fight with time. A situation…
