A visit…
| September 16, 2008 | Filled under Life |
This last weekend we were visited by Igor’s
cousin from Moscow. We’d a BLAST!!!! Victor
was soo impressed by a culture, nature with
all outdoor activities and lots of fun… and our
weather (no kidding!! Seattle is still spoiling
us an absolutely AMAZING warm and sunny
days) and last, but not least.. by great roads,
which is not typical for some countries ;)
We’ve visited couple beautiful cities near us, Alki beach, Snoqualmie Falls and
some others local parks.
But time flew very fast and we did not notice how these 3 days gone… but not
our memories, sweet moments and LOTS of FUN we got!
And a funny story is that… when cousin arrived, he asked
my DH to visit a store to buy a dozen of roses, a bottle of
Champagne and a cake (… a “kind” of Russian tradition to
welcome). Well, I am not a big fun of Champagne but look
what he decided to buy!! CRAZY person!!! LOL
… Now I fill I have to change my mind about Champagne :)

cotton/silk/viscose mix, a double knitting yarn with a subtle sheen and fantastic
drape that is a pure pleasure to knit with and wear.

… Oh my, I’ve just realized that almost 6 months gone since I’ve started to
work on patterns and offer them for sell. So far, I’ve done 16 patterns and
plan to finish another 120 (no kidding, LOL!) of my past designs and 1000+
new in next 1-2 years, hopefully ;)
Also, I want to point You again at all these such Amazing crafty places like
Ravelry, Crochet pattern central, CGOA, Crochetville, One Pretty Thing,
Indie Quarter, Club Osinka and Eva (both in Russian) just to name a few.
And SURE, without them, I don’t think I would be or this would have been
possible!
And I would Love to THANK to all of you who have purchased my patterns
and downloaded some, I’m offering for free, which have downloaded over
1000 times just from my site!! WOW, Thanks again!! Sure, things like that
are a HUGE stimulus to continue to work on new ones and I hope to finish
