Black tea with whipped cream and chocolate liquor

This is a drink I tried in the old part of Ljubljana in Čajna hiša. It seemed weird enough and sounded amazing enough to pay some extra cents to try it out.
And later on it was impossible not to try make it at home. And well you can imagine it is not difficult to make. Basically you brew your black tea, add some liquor and whipped cream on top. The cream will kinda dissolve into tea and when that happens I usually just add more. ;) But then you can quickly really just eat tons of whipped cream which is not good if you're kinda watching over your weight or healthy eating. You'll still have a sweet cream foam as a top layer that will leave you with a nice creamstache. :)

Hope you like it. :)

DIY Matching Hand- and Makeup Bag for my Sister's Birthday

My favourite sister had her 30th birthday today! Wow, she's getting old. ;) Well honestly it is a bit scary as she's almost the youngest in our family and then I'll be thirty soon, huge problems, I tell you. :D

So she had an idea a while ago for this bag she saw on one girl that is really big but you can flip it over if you don't need that much space. And this 'cover' or whatever you call it is really awesome because then you can do two different styles, one on each side and then wear it however you feel like on a specific day. Well sides do have to match, but still, it's almost like you would have to different bags. Amazing, right?

Just one minus: you can't really do an inside pocket on this bag because you flip it over and then that pocket would either flip with the 'cover' or it would be way to deep in the bag to really be of any use.
But that is not a problem if your sister then decides to do another matching toiletry/makeup/whatever-is-small bag. So this was actually a gift, the big bag was planned for a month or two already and just somehow we ended up sewing it in time for her birthday. Perfect. :)

Hope you like it. :)
And a very happy birthday, Marta. <3

PS: Because I haven't mentioned my fabric store in a while don't think I forgot about it. Last week I was there 4 times. Yes, 4 times. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday. Overdoing it? Never! :)

New DIY Toiletry/Make-up Bags

So it has been a crazy crazy month. Two orchestra project, even more concerts (you can check them on our Academy's youtube channel) and it doesn't go without practise, of course. That's why I haven't been on here much, I apologise.

But even though there were no new posts here it doesn't mean that I didn't make/do anything worth writing about. I made around 10 toiletry/make-up bags, some for gifts, some just because I was asked to. I really like them, they're just so cute. Hope you do to.

If you know me well enough and we're close friends you can expect one like this for a birthday or something. Otherwise just order away and check my facebook page for all the possibilities and discounts. :)

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.

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.
