Hello everyone!
GG or Gifted Gorgeousness is Jo's of
Serendipitous Stitching brainchild.
Jo asks us to show in the blog post something we were gifted cross stitch wise, or something we made and gifted.
Unfortunately I haven't managed to stitch at all this month. We were supposed to be at the beach house and I would stitch but things evolved differently.
Anyway let me first of all show you the new summer
craftpod I gifted myself. It is dedicated to bees which are getting extinct and we should do something to protect them.
This summer again I am taking part in the summer craft challenge organised by Anna of
In my closet. This time Anna is collaborating with other blogs to challenge us to be more creative. The first collaboration was with Katerina of
Mindspinfabrica and Katerina asked us to make something stamped. So I used my sea themed stamps ( a gift from Karen some years ago, hence it belongs to GG) to stamp on self drying clay and make some ring dishes and key rings. The end result isn't very good but I loved making them.
Finally I'd like to share here with you some photos from the aftermath of a cyclone or Supercell or superstorm or waterspout that happened on the evening of July 10th at Chalkidiki where my beach house is. The phenomenon was awful and very very strong. It had continuous lightning, typhoon winds, rain and hail at the same time. Unfortunately seven people were killed in the area, six of them tourists among them two children. One tourist, a Russian father with his two-year-old child was killed at the hotel next to our house.
The photos are all mine and they are in our neighbourhood.
Half of the tree missing.
Huge wooden deck flew and dropped at our beach.
Only trunks from the hundreds-year-old pine trees.
I just hope this supercell won't happen again. It was something I have never seen before and my family and I were very lucky not to have any injuries or damages.Thank God!
