June is here...

...unbelievably so...
May and June are the most hectic months for me because schools end and there is so much to do and usually I have to do lots at home too and with the Drama club as well.
This year it is even more hectic for various reasons that I will share later in June!
For the time being here is a blogpost about what I did all last week!
First I made a dessert with cream cheese, creme fresh and jello!It wasn't the best one could make! Especially when all the jello ended up in the fridge and on my shoes!But it was tasty!

 We had some when we gathered with my crafty group friends to make some handmade beaded things...

I also had coffee at Koumbi coffee and crafts cafe with Anna of In my closet and Maro of Akamatra blog from Athens!It was great meeting Maro and putting a face to a blog one reads!She is such a sweet girl!

Here's something a made for Maro, one of my stones.

And here is something she gave me. She makes lovely things you can see in her etsy shop.

A visit to Tiger is always a must when one meets crafty friends!

Also this week I managed to solve the stitch enigma from the Grey Tail blog although I wasn't fast enough as I didn't wake up early enough. I came fourth but I am proud I have managed to solve two consecutive enigmas on dear Chiara's blog.

This week we had a rehearsal with the Drama club after quite a long time.
Here are a couple of photos I took at the area near our rehearsal school.

Inside the school there was an exhibition of old school books and fairy tales! I loved it!

Finally we spent the long weekend at the beach house cleaning and gardening!
Also looking at the beauty around us!

 No, we didn't swim as the water was too cold!

Barca enjoyed the garden.

Have a nice month everyone!

May 1st long weekend

Thank you friends and followers for your comments in my last blogpost. It seems others too feel likewise!
So I will just go on ...my way!
May 1st was off school of course and since it was a Friday we took the chance to leave the city.
On Friday we went to my brother's beach house.
On the way I worked on the Stitch Enigma I want to take part in. You can find all about it in the side of my blog.

It was a glorious day!
When we arrived at their place you couldn't really tell if it was Clean Monday as there were kites in the sky...

...or if it was Easter as people were barbecueing everywhere...

...or if it was summer as people were at the beach bars and some brave ones were even swimming!

We walked around...
spotting beautiful flowers...

I even found a gorgeous stone filled with quartz....

Of course the men barbecued under our scrutiny (and Barca's scrutiny of course!)

Those sausages especially the yellow ones with chicken and cheese were terrific!

The views of fields covered in poppies were wonderful!

And some had to be gathered!

Afterwards we went to our beach house to enjoy the sunset...

and the moon.

The next day we did some house chores like putting an old coffee table from the city house in its place

but we also walked the beach enjoying the view of the snowcovered Olympus opposite us......

We of course collected some sea glass....

We also found lots of beautifully painted stones that probably tourists left behind.

But there was a guard guarding them so we didn't take any!

Beautiful flowers were everywhere at the beach!

and around in the fields.

Barca made a new friend...a huge gentle giant stray dog we were almost ready to take with us....

But we had to return to the city and this is what we returned to, another gorgeous sunset in Thessaloniki.

Sunday was beautiful too.
The sky was painted in white brush strokes...

We were hungry and we sat at To Elliniko! It was great as usual!We had some steamed mussels and some caramelised mushrooms along with tsipouro of course.

One of my mussels was pregnant!

It was a great weekend...when weekends are like that I feel like a tiny flower in this world, a happy little flower...

Good night!
