So, finally A beauty is where you find it photo challenge post again… Last year in may I had this kind of challenge for myself: through may I shot everyday (or at least I tried) a picture with something green, for green is for hope and it is my favorite colour :)
my flowers in my window- not metaphorical meant ;)

I love this topic! It instantly reminds me of the novel “Spring Awakening” which has also been brought to Broadway some years ago (also with lea Michele from Glee). There is also another novel called “The Awakening” and its by the female author Kate Chopin. To quote the first page of the book, what it is about “Written nearly one hundred years ago, THE AWAKENING is the compelling story of an extraordinarily modern woman struggling against the constrains of marriage and motherhhod, and slowly discovering the power of her own sexuality. Edna’s search for her own individuality touches the hearts of women who’ve learned the value of freedom and happiness, and her story is now regarded as a classic in American fiction”.
I bought the book exactly 6 years ago, march 2006, when I was finally graduating from school and I don’t really have a clue about the whole plot but I do know that I liked the story.
But, photos, awakening:
My flowers are beginning to bloom :) Also the hurt one I was already telling you about, it has a little bud growing every day a little more!

Is there something more beautiful than having unique clothes no one, really no one else has got? I really like the idea, maybe that is one of the reasons I became a dress maker :)
(with swallows)
Following I wanna show you a very easy tutorial, I actually found in the Sewing Calender 2011. It is such a cool idea to recycle old table-cloth, it is creative and, if it is a very old table-cloth with maybe some coffeespots on it, very unique :)
(I had to applicate something on the skirt because there has been a big hole unfortunately)
We also live in a time, in which we have to think about our environment and our recources… If we begin to recycle the smallest things, even clothes, we can save our nature enormously. Wasting paper, water and clothes isn’t at good at all… But if you really want to throw away your old or out- of- fashion pants maybe give it washed(!!!) to a kindergarden (they can craft with them), to a theater (they always need old stuff) or to a public utility collection.
(this tablecloth was very special: it was made in 1982 (stitched on it) and everybody participating to work at this tablecloth stitched his(and yes, there have been some boys) or her name on it!)
I’ve already made 3 of the table-cloth skirts, 2 covers I took from my fathers mother and the last one my father gave it to me after clearing an old flat.
Depending on where you wanna wear the skirt (on your hips or on your waist) you have to measure your hips or your waist.
Fold the cloth in the middle and figure out the middle of straight line, mark it.
Now take the measurement of your hips/waist divide it through 4. This is the length you are measuring to both sides of your straight line and orthogonal to the middle. Now draw a half circle and cut it out.
Debaste the circle line and lay it over with 1 cm, sew kind of a tunnel and leave a length of 4 cm open!
Now you have to take a narrow rubber 5 cm less than your hips/waist, take a saftey pin, fix the rubber and push it through the tunnel, if you are through the tunnel, sew the ends together and close the opening of your tunnel.
Finish :)
This is my favorite!!! It’s so colourful and with so many flowers :)
Both handbands I made after the very great tutorial by Jenny from wolkengleich. I love these turban-like headbands and I want to knit a scarf with this technique that soon :)

I still don’t get this challenge but I participate!
and these 2 plants are my precious ones!
today was sunbathing :)
I have so many plants but, I have to admit, that for those two I care the most! Everday when I let fresh air into my room I take them into another room for they won’t get a cold :D The Orchid is in bloom again and it gives me almost all year blossoms. The hibiscus had a pretty bad accident during my last move and since then didn’t give me any :( I hope it’s regenarating as soon as possible!
Which photo challenges do you participate this year? This one you gonna find here: http://luziapimpinella.blogspot.com/

I am behind again with the photo challenge, and I have to admit, that I am not that sure, if I can handle it while I’m in New York. Yes, as you might guess, I finally hit the town… Everything went good, I am very tired… up since 19 hours and I have to go to sleep now (here it is 7.30 am, haha)
On my flight I watched 3 movies: Sucker Punch (oh my god is this one cool!), Paul (oh my goodness is this new Simon Pegg and Nicholas Frost movie awesome [like 3 tits...just watch the movie!]) and Soul Surfer (oh my highness is this “I don’t want to show my tears on a plane” good one…)
Day 13: From a Distance
I am not quoting this aweful song…
Day 14: Flowers
Mhhhh, I like flowers, but I mostly think that pictures of flowers are boring… So, this flower is actually my tattoo- first picture of me in NYC :P
