Shirley Paden Video Bio




I never thought of knitting as mathematics... I've been practicing it since I was in the second grade, but I always just thought of it as ... natural maybe :)
If you like knitting as much as I do, just watch the video with Shirley Paden and get inspired.
SO beautiful! Now I wanna do a lace pattern sweater or dress or just a nice blouse!
U never know from where inspiration jumps out of :D

VIDEO link as the embed version is too wide for my blog :D

Enjoy!

Once I was a good & shy girl, then I grew out of it...

Isn't that an intriguing title?
I saw a title in antlermag.com and I thought of this. Kind of a personalized version of the title :)

Enjoy!

Clean up

Hello!

I recently read this post on Make+Meaning.
Very enlightening! How true it is!?

(please read the blog post linked before continuing, so you can understand better what follows)

Just take my case. When I was only an occasional visitor of the cyberspace I was creating, doing, making something all the time. The ideas and patterns I got from older and newer books were a treasure for me. Although I knew how to search on the internet, I didn't, I preferred to go to the library and spend hours looking at books or magazines from all over the world. And that was so inspirational for me. Just me and the books in a quiet space. All of these were weekly habits of mine.
And God a learned a lot!

Now what? I moved away and I don't even know where the library is in the new city (and I've been here for the last 3 years).
Got a job in an IT company doing admin work, 8 hours a day, after that I come home and spend the rest of the evening still behind the desk surfing the internet for blogs and interesting stuff other people do and I don't have the time any more to do.
How pathetic that is? :P

So, the first step was to reduce drastically the number of blogs I follow, because really, not all of them are as interesting as I was hoping for (no offence!).
I only kept the ones I do enjoy following and the ones where the bloggers do bother to post at least one post per month. No offence intended to anyone, this was necessary for my peace of mind.
Second, I will try to give up the games I am unnecessarily playing on Facebook. Quite fun, but useless to be frank.
Third... well, I am still thinking :) but the late spring cleaning has started and I'm not planning on stopping until I feel that the internet is not stopping me from actually living. The internet should be helping us and not stopping us, dont get caught up with it ppl!

Enjoy your life!

Back to origins...

I wanted to tell you today about a friend of mine (I know ur reading this honey), but I just can't find the words to do her justice so I will delay a bit the post about her until I will be able to tell u how much I admire her and love her talent(s) and her for that fact :)

Lately I've been rather down. Too tired, too stressed, too ... just too much.
I'm trying hard to overstep this period (I'm hoping this is just a period), but it just doesn't seem to pass on already.

I am trying to concentrate on what is really important at this point and ignore what is bothering (as it is something that can't be changed for now, unfortunately) so I can get back some peace of mind, but nothing seems to work.
At this point I think it is time to "turn back to origin", back to the point when I was doing only what I liked and what I didn't like I just got read off. It is time for the "get rid off" part :)

Don't worry, it will pass, everything passes :)

The tunes that obsess me these days are:

And so today I can count a couple of songs that I obsessively repeat in my head and on my play list. These are:....

1. "September - Until I Die" for the lyrics

2. "Demi Lovato - Remember December" for the passion she puts in her singing and her voice

3. "Selena Gomez & The Scene - Naturally" so young, what a voice and a personality :P

4. "Paramore - Brick By Boring Brick" darn good voice! "para para pa pa ra!"

5. "SID - Szabad Vagyok" Original lyrics. Best I heard in the last few years, may I add.

6. "INFERNAL - Electric Light"

7. "The Cardigans - I Need Some Fine Wine and You, You Need To be Nicer"
Just to exemplify why : "Bad dog! Sit!" >:D

8. "Sky - Love Show" this is an older one, but too beautiful to miss out :)

9. "Gotan Project - Mi Confesion" Just because it is special.

10. "Charlie Winston - Like a Hobo" a definite MUST!

11. "DOLORES O'RIORDAN - When we were young" Just unique ...

12. "Nightwish - While Your Lips Are Still Red" -> legends...

13. "Faye Wong - Bu Liu" most tranquil song ever heard...

14. "Vitas - Crane's Crying" what a voice, what a voice...

15. "Delain - April Rain"

16. "Kelly Clarkson — Walk Away"

17. "KORPIKLAANI - Vodka"

18. "Newton Faulkner teardrops live"

19. "Marion Raven - Here I Am"

20. "Morandi - Colors"

21. "Alexander Rybak - Fairytale"

22. "Ali Milner - I Can't Wait Forever"

23. "Lisa Mitchell - Clean White Love"

24. "Foo Fighters - Pretender"
