#SherlockLives

Well I had multiple ideas for a new blog, like new year or some of the bags I sewed lately. But well.. nothing matches up and nothing is more important than the fact that SHERLOCK IS ALIVE! And back. After two years.
First we got the prequel a week ago. At least something to end this 2-year misery.
Then new episode. Live streaming it of course. It worked, luckily.
First this happens. All of a sudden some strangely familiar language comes on, hello Serbia, and Sherlock all weirdly medieval.

Then Molly and Sherlock lock lips. Weird again, doesn't make sense and yet it's awesome! Plus this escape plan.. pretty good. And proved wrong.
Science of deduction. Let's just start with that. Sherlock didn't lost his sense.
Then our french Sherlock comes up. <3 And Watson is too dumb to notice him. Like come on, John, you're not deaf or blind.
Yeah, that's what we all wanted, well we knew but still it was a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong wait.
Honestly, I was more on the side of how, rather than why.
Then we meet Mrs. Hudson, whose reaction was a bit weird, I'd be happier to see Sherlock, but probably she just thought he's a ghost or something. Love her though. Especially the way she talk to John again. Priceless.
And Lestrade. Such a cute hug.
(PS: At this point I would like to publicly ask if anyone cares about Anderson cuz I don't. Just saying, cuz he's not appearing here.)
And we finally lose the movember. All because of Sherlock. <3
Wait, stop.
What the heck is this?!

Are you making everyone feel stupid?
Well this entire scene.. I just.. was kinda hoping this kiss would go through though *blush* but I'm glad it was just a stupid idea.
And we meet Sherlock's parents. Also Benedict's real-life parents. So cute.
Then we go and start a real mission to block a terrorist attack.
That almost ends tragically. But instead gives us a romantic scene with Sherlock and Watson. And much fun.
I'm glad it all went well and we even meet Molly's boyfriend. Definitely her type.
Uuhm, what?!
Oh yeah, and this is how Sherlock supposedly survived, all a huge plot to keep John from knowing, the entire street closed and everyone payed to play his/hers role. At least that's what Sherlock tells Anderson.
So waiting fror 3 more days for episode no. 2! Aaaaa! Can't wait!

Cheekbones. The end.

Merry (belated) Christmas

In translation: Merry Christmas

But the holidays didn't go without preparations. This past Sunday I went to bed at 6am only to finish the decorations for the tree, almost 2 kilos of cookies, a handbag - gift for my sister, decorated our place a bit and sewed the late St. Nicholas' gift for my sister's family.
But.. I love being a great elf. :)
Hope your holidays are as wonderful and eventful as they can be.
Merry Christmas everyone! God bless you.

Christmas Decorations at my place

Nothing new that I love December and Christmas, right? Well if it is new to you check some of the previous entries, otherwise just keep on reading. :)
It wouldn't be a proper post if I wouldn't mention my fabric store. Yes, I was there a few times again and bought all these cute Christmas themed fabrics. If you have time go check them out as they are 15% off this week.
So they all have a purpose and I've actually already used some of them.
From the left the first one is now a table cloth that I absolutely love.
Second one, super cute hearts, are a part of another table cloth and also Christmas tree ornaments.
The next one is my favourite because of the reindeers and the print that is actually soft, sort of velvety, and used it to make gift pouches. (Picture of that coming as soon as I make another one.)
Then Christmas trees for Christmas tree ornaments. Tree-ception. ;)
The red with golden print will serve for out home decoration that is not yet done and also you can check it out on a Christmas bag I made.
Last but not least and the only one that doesn't have a purpose yet is the one with the loveliest hearts. I might just use these for some more ornaments for the windows or something. Or if you have any ideas, please do share. :)
I'll try to put a tutorial of this ornaments up tomorrow but maybe on Thursday or Maybe even Friday. Bear with me. :)
Then yesterday I got this Christmas sock from my dear Hilary and is now already up on the wall. :)
Oh and thought I'd try how to scene my table for Christmas. It's too early though so I put the cribs away for a few more days but I like it a lot so here it is.

Oh, plus, I tried this on my nails and it kinda worked. I was going for Christmas holly on my nails and well it's pretty good, OK at least, especially if you consider the fact that I don't have any special thin brushes. Anyway I like it because it's Christmaaas. :)
Hope you're enjoying your December. :)

Busy practices for opera La Cecchina


And tired. Too tired to put any interesting new posts on, maybe tomorrow, but not today, too much to do.

I just came home from Academy, 5 hours of practice is not such fun. And a few hours yesterday were not fun as well. And tomorrow they won't be either.
But in the end it will all be worth it so reserve your time on 9th and 10th January to come see La Cecchina - La buona figliuola, an italian opera buffa written by Niccolo Piccinni in 1760.
You can get your tickets and read more about the production here.

DIY Christmas Tree Nails Decoration and St. Nicholas

Saint Nicholas stopped by tonight! We went to see him yesterday already with my nephews and then at home he was super great this year and brought me a gift card for (yeah you guessed it) Svet metraže. And some other treats and I even got some presents from my sister. But that will be another post on Sunday about that because we'll have a family meeting and well, I think I might get some more. :D (I'm very humble, I know.)
Also yesterday we had a party with some friends from Academy and my gift partner brought me an amazing tea set. Thank you, Jernej, so much. It's already in good use.

But today's post is not about Nicholas but about my Christmas tree nails I did two days ago. I don't have much equipment so it could be better but I tried my best and here is sort of a tutorial to see how to make your own. Of course the choice of colours is yours. Plus I was in a bit of a rush so there's no base coat, only top one.

Use tape to create a triangle for the tree. If you're putting a base coat make sure you use a tape that won't peel off that layer.
Colour and let it dry.
Take the tape off and then decide what colour you'll use for the decorations and what pattern you'll make.
I did the strips and a dot on the top, supposedly a star.
Add a clear top layer and voila.
And now you're ready to show off these nails in your fingerless gloves while sipping mulled wine in a decorated city center.
Enjoy your weekend. :)
PS: These guys are amazing!

DIY Advent Garland from Toilet Paper Rolls

This past two months I've constantly been seeing this idea on facebook sites and pinterest and everywhere and it seemed really easy. And it is. :)
I know it's a little late to put this idea on since advent already started this Sunday but you can always decorate your house a bit more. And you can do this with your kids because it's really super super easy.
