Recently I run out of my business cards. So this time around I decided not to print new ones, but rather to make my own cards. All I needed was a stamp with my shop's name, url and e-mail (which I had custom made), nice thick paper and some washi tape. After a few hours of stamping my brand new handmade cards were ready.<br />

Now I can make more of them whenever I want, plus I can change the design too if I get bored with the current one :) </div>

Isn't this little fox super cute?? I bought this stamp recently but unfortunately don't remember where from. </div>

Anyway, I hope this time is different and I'll actually sew something... The New look 6107 arrived yesterday. I bought it mostly for the simple skirt pattern, but after taking a better look at it, plus some <a href="http://autumnyarn.wordpress.com/2012/12/29/a-tale-of-two-bow-blouses/" target="_blank">searching on the internet</a>, I really like the blouse pattern. Especially views B and C.<br />
<br />
The dress on the left is from <a href="http://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/satin-dress-042013" target="_blank">Burda magazine</a> (4/2013). It's a simple everyday dress and I really like it.<br />
<br />
I'm still working on things for the upcoming market. It's next week!!! Happy!!! </div>

These days find me busy with preparations. I'm going to take part in yet another <a href="http://berlinerkoffermarkt.blogspot.de/" target="_blank">KofferMarkt</a> and I'm very excited about it. It's going to take place on the 8th of June in <a href="http://www.potsdam.de/cms/ziel/26670/EN/" target="_blank">Potsdam</a>.<br />
<br />
Lately the weather here in Berlin is bad. Especially today, it rains constantly since the early morning. Although I would prefer it to be nice and warm outside, I kind of think that it helps me stay focused on all the work needed to be done :)<br />
<br />
The best part of getting ready for any craft markets is the gathering of the supplies. In my case buying pretty fabrics and notions like these.<br />

<br />
I have to confess though, not all af the fabrics are going to be used for the market purpose. In the second photo are the <i>"all about me fabrics"</i>. I have a few patterns in mind for the top fabrics. I still try to find a nice pattern for the polkadots :) I would love to see them turn into a nice summer blouses I think.<br />
<br />
I will share some preview photos of the things I have already made.<br />

We're back to the usual here in Berlin. Cold, rain, even some snow. Last weekend though was completely different. Warm and sunny and I really hoped it would last.<br />
<br />
On Tuesday my friend <a href="http://www.beyondpasta.com/en-wp/" target="_blank">Erika</a> and I decided to take advantage of the sun. We met for lunch and a quick walk at the park. We went to a nice italian place and enjoyed some very tasty pizzas.<br />

I really like when we meet. Even if it's only for a quick lunch. We don't know each other that long but somehow our conversations are always long and meaningful. It's good to have that... <br />

The weather here is much much better. Although it's still cold. Especially in the evenings. But during the day the sun shines and the sky is blue. I'm dreaming of warmer days... I want to put my heavy clothes away. I can't wait to see Berlin all green again. It's a beautiful place to be.<br />
<br />
In that spirit here are a few summer hats that either are already available, or will be listed in my etsy store soon.<br />

When we first moved into this <a href="http://panicalab.blogspot.de/2012/02/apartment.html" target="_blank">apartment</a> I was really happy. I liked the apartment itself, but also the view form my craft room and bedroom windows was very nice. There where some tall trees and even a small nest on one of them. Many different kinds of birds would come very close to my window. In spring these trees were very busy :) It was nice, and seeing all this activity made me happy.<br />

<br />
But unfortunately all of this changed. In October or November we learnt that a huge apartment building was going to be build. Since there was a tall brick wall and some abandoned buildings between us and the land where the building was going to be, we thought that the construction site would only reach the wall. Well, we were wrong!<br />
<br />
A few days ago they knock down the wall, as well as the abandoned buildings. Every day I would look outside my window and say "Not the trees, just leave the trees". Yesterday they took down the trees too! It was awful. I could't stand the sound of the trees being so violently breaking. <br />
<br />
Here is how my view looks like since yesterday...<br />

<br />
I really don't understand what happend! If you take a look at the maquette they hang before the constructions began, you'll see all "green" and "pretty". So why couldn't they just integrate those trees into the design? There weren't that many of them anyway! The maquette actually call the project "Green Houses" showing "green" on the terraces and balconies of this building.<br />
<br />
For me that's just a parody and a deceit... <br />

I made almost everything using Roger :) My brand new serger which Mr. G gave me for Christmas. I'm still learning how to use it properly, but sewing with Roger is fast and fun!</div>

I've been away from this space for a very long time. But I'm trying to come back and start writing again. Slowly slowly... The procrastinator in me prevails many times, but I try to fight her! (<i>yes it's a female...</i>). I like writing my little blog, even though it lacks readers :) Maybe in time...<br />
<br />
I decided to host a little giveaway. My New Year's resolution, among other stuff, was to own things I need and use a lot. I used to buy things constantly and never use them. I need to change my habits. We produce way too much waste we can handle.<br />
<br />
So in that spirit, there will be more giveaways. I try to sort out all of my things and I find it best to pass them on to someone who can use them, rather than just let them sit on the shelf and collect dust.<br />
<br />
I begin with a book called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0080QV1EK/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=1278548962&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=1580176259&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=035MWY1AVB06ND6XVERB" target="_blank">"Sew what! Skirts" by Francesca DenHartog</a>.<br />

<br />
To get this book, simply leave me a comment. There is no need for likes, favoring my etsy store or stuff like that. I dislike those kind of giveaways. If you want to favorite my shop do it because you like it :)<br />
<br />
The winner of this giveaway will be announced next Monday. Good luck :)<br />
<br />
<i>p.s. The book is in excellent condition. </i> </div>

If you are in Berlin this Sunday and thinking about getting Christmas present for your family and friends, handmade is always a good idea!! Not only do you support small businesses and creative individuals, but you're also giving something unique and made with love.<br />
<br />
I'm taking part in a Christmas market together with some very nice and talented people. So if you're in the area (maybe visiting the East side gallery???), please come and say hi!!!<br />
<br />
More info here :)<br />

Thing are rather slow still after the summer break... I miss it already :) The beach, the sun, fresh fruits and great food.<br />
<br />
Here is a new project I'm working on. Just a pair of legwarmers for me. I'm knitting them with a lovely yarn. Lana Grossa Cashmere. It's super soft and I just love the brown / chocolate shade. I think I'll make more of them in different colors.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://pearljam.com/" target="_blank">Pearl Jam</a> is my favorite band e v e r !!!! I follow them since the very beginning! I was very very happy to learn that they were going to play in Berlin, and also so close to my name day too. A special gift for Domi!!!! The concert was on Wednesday, July 4th and it was amazing. They played for more than 2 hours, almost all of my favorite songs and I loved it!! The atmosphere was incredible. I sang along <i>(sorry to the quiet girl sitting next to me...)</i> and dance the whole time.</span><br />

Mr. G and I spent a lovely week in Barcelona. Our new friends, a couple from my VHS invited us to their wedding. They were even kind enough to let us stay at their home. I wanted to visit Barcelona for some time now and this was a great opportunity to combine the wedding with some sightseeing.<br />
<br />
The city is really beautiful. Although there was a heat wave which made moving really difficult.<br />

The project I was working on is finished!!! yaaaaay! Ok, it's been finished for some days now but I had no time to take photos and write about it until now. I am really proud of myself because this is the very first wearable garment I have made!! There were some dresses in the past but very simple ones. The kind you make with 2 rectangulars and an elastic thread.<br />
<br />
This skirt have it all (for a beginner sewist like me that is). It has pockets, pleats, waistband and of course the most important... the zipper!! Zipper was always my biggest fear. I have sewed zipper pouches but never a garment. Thanks to <a href="http://sewaholic.net/" target="_blank">Tasia's</a> great tutorial I managed to do it without a single tear!! I did break the zipper foot in the process though, but I continued to sew with it anyway! <br />
<br />
I used the pattern 104 A from the February 2010 issue of Burda Style magazine. <span style="background-color: white;">This is the kind of skirt I usually like to wear.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />

Because burda's sizes are often off for my kind of body, I made the first skirt a trial one out of some left overs I had in my stash. This trial skirt is a clear evidence of my OCD :) I just couldn't let it unfinished. In the beginning I was trying to figure out what to do. It just didn't work. ahmm... the problem was that I had not cut all the pieces of the pattern... I had forgotten the facing of the pockets. After I realize that, things moved a lot faster. Although I made a lot of mistakes and had to rip the whole thing twice I think. It wasn't pretty at all!! There were pieces of fabric and thread all over me. Including my hair! But hours later I had something that looked like a skirt!! I knew what I had to fix and what changes to do, so the skirt would fit me the way I wanted it to.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">The fabric I used for the final skirt is a cotton linen blend in navy blue. It was in my stash for more than a year now and I've used it before to sew <a href="https://www.etsy.com/transaction/38894802?transaction_id=38894802" target="_blank">belt pouches</a> for my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/panicalab" target="_blank">etsy shop</a>. It costed 1 euro per meter from my favorite discount fabric store in Athens. I bought more than 3 meters at the time. This fabric has a nice quality and is very easy to work with. </span><span style="background-color: white;">For the openings of the pockets </span><span style="background-color: white;">I used floral bias tape. I made the skirt in size 36 except for the waistband which is size 38. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I must give a huuuuuge thanks to my dear friend <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/karmologyclinic" target="_blank">Cristina</a>, who helped me a loooot!! She answered of all my questions, doesn't matter how silly they were, with a great patience. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I want to make more skirts with this pattern. </span><br />

I'm not sure if I've got the Vintage bug or something, but when I spotted this lovely 1970's plate on DaWanda I just had to buy it. The price was very good and the <a href="http://en.dawanda.com/user/BirgitBlau" target="_blank">lovely seller</a> is based here in Berlin so the delivery costs and time were low and super fast.<br />

The plate had to be celebrated of course, so I made some muffins with poppy seeds to make a good use of it. Yummy!!!<br />

But that's not all!! A few days ago, after a coffee with my new friend Erika from <a href="http://www.beyondpasta.com/en-wp/" target="_blank">Beyond Pasta</a>, I decided to walk to my knitting meeting instead of taking the U-Bahn. It was just 4 stops anyway and I had plenty of time. I was in an area of Berlin I hadn't yet seen so the opportunity was perfect. On my way I found a second hand store with all sort of home related items. From small furniture, lamps, plates to carpets and mirrors.<br />
<br />
I found many beautiful pieces. Unfortunately I didn't have that much money with me. I did buy something though. Couldn't just leave like that... I found this small beautiful painting and it was love at first sight. It's just a painting of a vase with flowers but I love how vivid the colors are. And the frame is amazing too. It's only 31 x 26 cm which makes it perfect for the place that I have in mind for it. I'll just have to fix the back of the frame a little because it's moving and that's it. <br />

Mr. G didn't like my new painting that much... He said it looks like a granny thing, but I disagree. It makes me happy looking at it.<br />

The pattern is <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/buckwheat" target="_blank">Buckwheat</a> by one of my favorite designers <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/veera-valimaki" target="_blank">Veera Välimäki</a>. It was clearly written and easy to follow. The only thing I don't get is how my top looks around the neck. The short rows made it pops out. I'm not really sure if it suppose to be like that, or if I made a mistake. I bet the latter is the answer to that. I don't really care that much anyway. I like it as it is and I'm going to wear it! </div>

It was knitted with a double string of <a href="http://www.eatsleepknit.com/cshop/product/Malabrigo-Yarn-Lace-Merino/836/" target="_blank">Malabrigo Yarn Lace</a>, which makes the top super light and soft. The color is Pollen. It's perfect for those chilly spring days we have right now here in Berlin. </div>

I'm suppose to be studying for my upcoming German test at the VHS but I can't concentrate at all. I thought I would write about something pretty instead.<br />
<br />
Last Saturday, while shopping for the ingredients for our Easter dinner Mr. G and I stopped at the Bergmanstraße flea market. It's there on every Saturday and love visiting it. The whole area is very pretty too. With small cafes, restaurants, bio markets and of course the flea market. We weren't looking for anything in particular. I just love browsing through all the things, you never know what you can find there. This time we were lucky.<br />

Isn't this piece amazing? The seller informed us that it was from the 50's. Since I know nothing about the vintage furniture I'll take his word for this. I don't really care which year is it from, I love this stool and it fits perfect in our hall. Like it was made for it.<br />

The other thing we bought is this lovely corner shelf. I wanted it for the hall as well but it doen't fit there. That's even better because now we're going to hang it in my craft room yaaay!! All it needs is a little cleaning, maybe some paint too. I'm still debating on that.<br />

These little liqueur glasses are an older find. I bought them from a second hand store. They are very pretty and daintily. I've always wanted these kind of glasses. Now I have a proper excuse for drinking more liqueurs :)<br />
<br />
Last but not least here are my new dip saucers. Ok, I have to be honest, they are brand new, but they are so cute and I just had to include them in this post. Colorful and pretty.<br />

Yesterday was the Orthodox Easter. Living in Greece for so many years I got to celebrate a lot of Easters. I really love how it is celebrated there. The food, as always, is very important on the Easter Day. On Saturday evening, after the midnight Divine Liturgy, the family gathers together for the traditional <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magiritsa" target="_blank">Magiritsa</a>. In the beginning I couldn't stand it at all, but that changed after a few years.<br />
<br />
Being away from home I decided to try and make my own Easter dinner. It would be the first time for me so the stress was high. I'm not that really talented when it comes to cooking. We wanted to celebrate it with our new friends and the fact that they are vegetarians didn't help my stress, because the traditional Magiritsa is made with meat. I was wondering what to do when one of my friends suggested that in stead of meat I could use mushrooms. What a great idea!!! But then to make things even more difficult I decided to make both of them. So I just went form never cooking a Magiritsa in my entire live, to making two of them at the same time!! Even though I used only half of the ingredients required for both of them, we ended up with too much food just for 4 persons. Yeap, that sounds like the Greek Easter in deed :)<br />

Also there were red peppers filled with feta cheese, baked <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloumi" target="_blank">Hallumi</a> and for dessert my friends had brought with them some chocolate cakes wich had liquid chocolade in the middle! The cakes were gone within seconds so there was no time for taking any photos. I can assure you though that they were a m a z i n g !!<br />
<br />
We had a really great time and that made us feel a little bit better about being away from family and friends.<br />

The Easter holiday is over and everything is back to normal. It was nice having Mr. G around for 4 whole days. Many things got done over the last few days and the new apartment is turning slowly slowly to a home. On the furniture side 2 closets, 2 bedside tables, a tv-thing and a shelf unit for the craft room were assembled. I won't lie I did not do much of the assembling. Three boxes are still unopened but I can't make myself to open them up. I just can't stand any more boxes, so for the moment I pretend not to see them.<br />
<br />
I did cleaned the craft room. Everything is tight up. The question was where would I put my fabrics. I was considering getting a closet but I couldn't find something that I really liked and of course in the budget I had. So after searching and measuring, more searching and more measuring I decided to go with a shelf unit from IKEA.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
It has just the right height and depth for my purpose. I wanted it to fit under the stairs of the build in bed. It's a kind of a blind spot which can't be easily used for something else. Fitting the unit there leaves me all the space to move. It even creates a hidden storage space behind it.<br />
<br />
I didn't like the unit as it was though, so I transformed it a little. It's a half DIY fabric closet. A few months ago I bought a couple of curtains from a second hand store. They are IKEA and never been used. They were brand new, with the tags still attached and all. At that time I wasn't sure what would I make with them, but I'm glad I got them because they gave me the whole idea on how to solve my problem.<br />

Aren't they cute? They were the right length too, just ready to be hanged. I'm very happy with the result. The best part is that all of this costed less than 30 Euro! yaaaay!!<br />
<br />
Organizing the fabric itself was an entirely different thing. I had big plans for it. Sommer fabrics, winter fabrics, I wanted to measure everything, take notes so I'd know how much of everything there is. But after an hour just folding I left the plans go... Who am I kidding. I'm neither that motivated nor organized to do something like that. In the end I'm happy that everything is nicely folded and in such a way so I can see what I have in my stash. I do work better when everything is in place and out of my way, but that's it. So here it is.<br />

On Saturday the weather was very good, so Mr G. and I decided to take a little trip. We went to Grunewald. We didn't want to go very far away and Grunewald is about 40 minutes with public transportations from where we live. The area is very nice. Beautiful houses, trees, even a small lake make the scenery peaceful and relaxing. We walked by the lake for a few hours talking and taking pictures. I like exploring new places.<br />
