Spotting beauty around me....

It's raining heavily outside, the first storm of the season. So I thought of doing some chores!

Writing down grades, evaluating the University Students Practice, a little bit of ironing later!

At the same time my son is studying as yesterday the Entrance University Exams started.

So I thought of giving you some photos I have taken lately in random.

Some photos of sea glass.

Those are the best finds from the last time we were at the beach house accompanied by stones from Margie of Resurrection Fern and Lisa of lilfishstudios.

Here's sea glass brought to me from the island of Mytilene by my friend Dora.

Here's the poster of the American Horror Story (No I don't watch it.)

And that's the house in my neighbourhood used for the poster. It belongs to the Italian Government.

Some jelly beans we enjoyed recently.Great colours!

Some more poppies from the parks at the sea front!

Along with some handicrafts and poems written by little children on Mother's Day festivities.

The wonderful view of Thermaikos Gulf.

Photographic exhibition about the new sea front promenade in which I too took part!My photo wasn't chosen though but still I enjoyed seeing all the other photos.

The Golden Dome of Methodius and Cyril Church.

Poppies against a stone wall.

Looking up with my camera I spotted the line of an aeroplane. When I uploaded the photos I found a bee flying along,too!

Can you believe it that this field is just 5 minutes' walk from my house?

Coffee with relatives at the sea front cafe of the yacht club.

And a tiny dragon !

Trying to crochet

I have admired many a time crocheted things. When I was a kid my grandma taught me to do counted cross stitch and a bit of knitting but I was negative with crochet and I never learnt it. I am so sorry I didn't learn it then. It is so difficult for me to self teach myself now. Anyway I found at a book bazaar this book and bought it for just 2 euros and decided to teach my self to do crochet.I don't know how to read symbols so I just follow my instinct. 

We also did a bit of crochet at the jewelry course so I got some hints there too and of course looked at various tutorials on the Internet.

Margie at Resurrection Fern blog and Lucy at Attic24 blog have always been my inspiration for crocheting too. So I gave it a try. Adorned my sea glass with some little baskets and flowers.

Adorned a 3 euro hat.

And learnt how to make hearts.

Hopefully I will teach myself more in summer.
