thursday: sleeping city

Everything is dead today. Barely a soul in the streets, except for my own, wandering one. In my naive hope to get in a book store of free books, I packed and set out for a walk. I should have known better. Midsummer's day, lots of beer, lots of singing and dancing, lots of closed doors in front of me. Meh, seems like I am the only one who is not in for this annual craze'n'daze. I had enough with singing in the very heart of the city and becoming a tourist attraction, thanks to the national costume (and the flower crown) I was wearing. Though I have to say it was quite enjoyable.

carbon dioxide emissions. We plant a tree for your blog and thereby neutralise
your blog’s carbon footprint for the next 50 years! Everyone can make a small

project: lace mean

Well, this took me forever. From the moment I stole the idea in Zara (gasp!), to the finding of the right shirt, to the right time, to yesterday when I finally managed to do it. I'm so busy lately, that I've almost forgotten how to live normally without stress and haste. I have another major exam on Friday, but I felt so limp yesterday that I decided not to study, but to finally finish what I've started in my head months ago. I know I will regret skipping so many hours of precious studying time.

But, oh well ...

This looks very simple, right, but the tricky part was the stretch fabric. It was a nightmare to get the lace on it straight. I couldn't understand whether the shirt was awry or it was me. Finally, when I got it right, I needed to stretch it on something to sew it straight. I used the ironing-board. And, eureka! ready it was! My new love.
