Liebster Award

So about 10 days ago I got a special comment by one my favourite bloggers Petra from Adjusting Beauty blog (I found her on this blog that unites Slovenian Bloggers) in my #SherlockLives post saying that I was nominated for Liebster blog award. Sooo exciting!

And now I'm finally getting back at it. I'm glad I 'have' to because otherwise this blog wouldn't see any new posts in this busy month of January.

The rules for the Liebster Award:

1.   Thank the person who nominated you and link back up to their blog.

2.   State 11 facts about yourself.

3.   Answer the 11 questions given to you by the nominator.

4.   Nominate 11 other bloggers for this award who have less than 200 followers.

5.   Create 11 questions for your nominees to answer.

6.   Let the nominees know that they have been nominated by going to their blog and notifying them.

11 facts about me

1. I love everything that smells of UK. As you might have noticed.

2. I used to be such a huge fan of David Beckham that because he was a face of Pepsi I had one shelf full of all the different Pepsi bottles and cans from all over Europe.

3. When times get busy (like for example every January) my room is a complete mess and to get to my sewing machine I put everything from the table on my bed and then before I go to bed I just put it back on the table. Which is super stupid but I don't have enough space for my sewing passion.

4. I don't drink coffee ever, I honestly hate everything coffee-like, even chocolate that smells stinks of it.

5. I am somehow also a huge fan of everything retro. And well for now I can only wish it but maybe one day I can run a style like that if the wallet allows.

6. For the longest time I was crazy about yellow (my room is still yellow and green) simply because Orlando Bloom said once that his favourite colour is yellow. And as you can guess I was crazy about him.

7. Crazy about him to the point that for entire 8th grade I would have my hair up like he does in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Like every day. And back then it really didn't even suit me. Ah heck it.

8. I cut my own hair so then I can only blame myself for the mess and not the hairdresser and you can't really be mad at them so then your hair just sucks for some time and nothing you can do about it. So yes, for probably last 8 years I've only gone to the hair saloon for prom, but that only meant styling.

9. I can't really sleep on a bus, ever. There was just one time when we went to Spain and I only had 10 hours of sleep total for the previous 5 nights.

10. I got used to travelling light, with only carry on, which also means I'm a huge bear on every flight back dressed in multiple new additions to my wardrobe.

11. I study viola on Academy of Music in Ljubljana, Slovenia. I hope to get into an Erasmus student exchange in Autumn, hopefully Glasgow, UK.

I nominate these 11 bloggers:

1. Svetilnik in sedem palčkov

2. Verjamem v sonce

3. ash.

4. Kul je bit' poročen

5. Ljubim življenje

6. Lucijin kotiček

7. Ljubezen nikoli ne mine

8. Vrtna čajanka

9. ...pikčasta.ptička...

10. Rachel Ferchak

11. Creative Side of Imagination

11 Questions

1. Which qualities do you like about your friends?

Understanding for my lack of time.

2. What's your favorite perfume ever?

As horrible as that is I do not remember the name. Bought it in Grasse, 
France, one of their brand.

3. If you could eat one type of candy forever, what would it be?

Candy canes, original mint flavour.

4. What's your favorite fashion item that you wish you could pull off,
 but can't?

Anything strapless, that's usually where the problem lies and therefore can't

wear anything like that.

Pictures.

6. What could you not live without: music, movies or books?

Music, as that will be my bread one day too soon.

7. What's your favorite type of workout?

Difficult to say. Eat less or something. :D I do go places with a bike

 or up a hill sometimes.

8. What is your favorite animated movie?

I'm a pretty huge fan of Mulan, but there are definitely many amazing ones.

 skincare, body care, home decor...)?

Clothes and home decor.

10. What's the most unhealthy thing that you do?

I guess junk food when I'm too busy and not enough sleep, always.

#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!
