Crafting for courage(1)

I had told you about some blog friends who organised a sale with all the profits going to help Japan.
I couldn't resist buying some of the things that were sold on the sale so that I can somehow in my very small way help Japanese people as well.
Today the first of my three purchases arrived.It is a lovely pincushion from Sonia in Cozy Memories who added  a lovely coaster in the parcel as this was her 200th sale and also some cross stitch ribbon to get me inspired to stitch some more.
Thank you dear Sonia!

Poppytalk Winter Colours-Tuesday White

My camera failed me the moment I was going to take pics of yesterday's parcels which were lovely and I only managed to open them late at night. I managed to take pics of a lovely pin pillow I bought from my dear Sonia in Cozy memories and which arrived today. It is made with jean and lace. Lovely!
Today the colour is white for Poppytalk's Winter Colours 2011. Here are my photos.
A flower at the school garden.
 The brand new statue of Constantine Karamanlis on our seafront.I wonder how long it will keep this white. 
 The landmark of my city the White Tower.(Ok I know it doesn't look very white but that's its name!)
 A detail from a cut glass milk glass dish sent to me by my friend Marabeth(filled with chocolate!)
 Flour and milk and I am getting ready to make muffins. Again Marabeth taught me how to make muffins and I have been making all kinds all the time.
 A little feather on my plant in the balcony.
 The sun shining through my tsipouro glass. Tsipouro is a typical strong spirit of Greece which becomes white when water is added to it.
 Shadows on my dish waiting to have some food along with the tsipouro.
 A crocheted snowflake from Prague.
 A storebought crocheted dove.
I am sorry if some photos have already appeared here before but I tried to post only photos of 2011.
