Lake of Constance, Germany

Last weekend we went around the Lake of Constance, by bike. This Lake in the south of Germany is surrounded by three countries: Switzerland, Austria and Germany. We managed to do the biggest lake in 3 days, averaging 50Km per day. It's a really easy ride as it is flat all the way..it was however very hot!!! Here are some of the pictures:



more pictures to follow...soon...xx

a dress...for ME!!!

Here's my latest work, a dress I made for myself to go to a wedding in Germany. I got the fabrics from an Asian shop. I love the fabrics at these shops! They usually come in a combination of three fabrics so you could make a typical asian outfit with: trousers, tunic and scarf. Here's the result...

And here's a detail of the bow..it is actually just tied with a pin I had and thought it matched perfectly...This has got to be my favoutite piece..the bag. The outside is made with the blue fabric (the same as the ribbon) and the inside is made with the same flowery fabric as the dress. There's also a small trim on the outside with the dress' fabric. I am so happy with the result! I got these frames a few weeks ago and this was the right opportunity to try them. Isn't it so cute... I have got a few more frames so now I can make some bags if anyone is interested....
