I made it bazaar

I am working hard for my first bazaar exhibition.
It will take place this Sunday the 10th from 2 in the afternoon till 10 at night at Rover Bar Cafe at Ladadika. Hope to see all my local friends there!

Here are some of the things I will have there.
Sea glass beaded felted stones and Christmas felted stones.

 Some wired trees on felted stones.

 Pendants with sea glass and beads.

 And many more!

Working hard to have everything ready!

With the company of Barca always.

Biennale 4

While waiting for certain things to happen of which I will talk later in  a blog post this week, I took a bit of time away and visited this Biennale 4 of Contemporary Art in my city.It is taking place at Yeni Cami, the old New Mosque in my neighbourhood. It was surprisingly pleasant especially the video installation by Rosana Palazyan from Brazil which showed the story of her Armenian ancestors in embroidery.It was touching.I tried to find more info about her and probably a way to contact her but was unable to. Unfortunately there was no way to take a picture.
I was also impressed by this installation by Gal Weinstein from Israel.It is named Fire Tire and is made out of rubber and cotton.

 And there is a photo exhibition too and more video installations. All that in the impressive New Mosque till January the 31st.You can also see other Biennale exhibitions all over the city in other veues. I hope I will see some more soon.

Hubby and I also visited a book exhibition outside the grounds of the International Trade Fair but once again we were disappointed. Although there are thousands of books most are outdated, boring and not the type of books we read.

Here are a couple of photos from the walk at the park we did with the school last week.

 Finally a couple of photos from last week's sky that again caused controversy about what we are being sprayed with!

In my closet....

....I don't have skeletons, although because of the recent Halloween I could have!
In my Closet is a lovely blog I found which belongs to sweet Anna whom I met at the Etsy Greek Street Team meeting a couple of weeks ago.Anna makes lots of lovely things and you can find her beautiful cushions here.
Anna organises workshops at her cozy convenient handmade kitchen and I was lucky to have joined in this Saturday.It was the Bling Bling Workshop based on this idea.
We gathered at four and I personally stayed till late. Anna is such a warm and generous person and I had a great time although a first timer there. I met many new friends and had the chance to meet again with two other ladies of the egst Stella and Lia. I also found out that Demetra and I had met before at the Handicraft Course I attended at the neighbourhood library last winter.It's a small world!
Also I met lots of other great ladies who have creativity in common as well as bookcrossing. I am almost ready to join them at their adventures with freeing books but I need first to see how much time I will have for that as my time is really very limited now.
The In My Closet Kitchen!

 Anna explained how things should be done.

 And we started creating.

Here's my creation!

 It looks lovely when lit!

Others made beautiful things too.
Lia behind her heart!

 Efi and her Sol Key.

 Maria with her m on the floor.

 And there was the making of in my closet logo as well.

Of course apart from meeting and creating we ate a lot as all ladies brought delicious handmade sweets. I guess the best one was Christina Ina's American pumpkin pie which I hope I will find time to make.It was covered in meringue and was delicious. Runners up Stella's cheesecake and Anna's sister's lemon pie!

 (Sorry for the blurred photo!I was trembling with earnestness!)

Before leaving I had a look at Anna's creative corner and adored it!

What did I do the rest of the weekend? You'll see!

Have a great November!

My new motto

Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate; 
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait. 


It comes from The Song of Life by H. W. Longfellow.
I found it in my current reading The Golden Bowl by Henry James. 
The poem really made me think and made me smile, as I felt that it is so good to be active and doing things always.I am on this path.More about this soon.
Have a great November!
