It's finally happened - Oh Yeah!! I'm slightly mad, just very slightly mad.....

FINALLY, after so long - 24 hours research:-), after millions and millions diverse pictures were seen and compared, we found a compact camera which has almost the same properties as a system one.
And the most important for me that it has an "enormous" zooooooom:-). I have to confess - Size does matter!
The sad part is that I'm not loyal to Nikon anymore. But it is not my fault:-))

So are you ready?!
I want to present a new member of my family.......My new compact camera

    Flowers in the City Garden - Botaniska Trädgården - September 2006

    I do not know anybody who doesn't like flowers of any kind. Personally I like all of them despite their good or bad odor. I'm interested in their unique form and originality .
    Is there anywhere two look a like flowers ? So every year I try to get time to visit Trädgården to admire those one of a kind beauty.
    And here there are some pictures I took in the end of September 2006
    It was very sunny weather and it was surprisingly warm.
    Enjoy;-)!

    What is so funny, Alpha-Romeo?


    Our dog (Alpha-Romeo) finds our family-life very funny...Look he is laughing and nothing can't stop him...Xo Xo Xo...how can anybody tell about the whole situation judging by only one picture???

    <= Just ordinary day when my lovely sexy Russian macho husband gets his salary...I have to be sure that every euro goes into my pocket:-)))))


    Oh yeah....I'm just joking...how you can see my lovely husband is feeling excellent ....he's got even his favorite Italian ice-cream on his birthday.

    My passion

    ....is photographing. I dream to have a portable, small but very effective camera to have always with me to capture all the interesting moments of my life, surroundings or other stuff I meet.
    Our family camera Nikon D50 is a little bit large:-))) to have always with me.
    Here I invite you to have a peek on my Summer 2006 photos:

    Knitting Questionnaire part 1

    In the vast expanses of Internet I found this "knitting questionnaire". So I decided to publish this questionnaire with my answers because I am a knit-o-holic and therefore I have qualification to do it....why not:-)!?

    Here are my answers:
    1. Am I a yarn snob?

    • It is hard to say, maybe sometimes I can be snobbish in my choice of yarn, especially when yarn quality is very unnatural, as for instance 100% polyester or 100% acrylic.
    2. Do I spin or crochet?
    • Crochet but not so often as I would like.
    3. Any allergies?

    • I have no allergies related to any kind of yarn...just for Cats:-), but nobody I know knits with yarn made of cats fur...so answer will be No.
    4. How long have I been knitting?

    • When I was 7 - 8 my mother tried to teach me to knit and I learned actually something but I knitted my first mittens only at age of 1o-12 at school.
    5. Do I have an online wish list?

    • What is that, and where you can get it? No I have my wish list just in my head:-)
    6. Favorite scent?
    • Roses, roses and only roses. Lemon, orange and passion fruit. And different blends of scents what is very difficult to describe with words.
    7. Do I have a sweet tooth?

    • For sweet fruits -yeas, not so much candies lately...maybe my profession affect my preferences:-))
    8. What other crafts do I do?

    • Beyond knitting and crocheting I dream/plan to paint, do ceramic.
    9. My favorite music?

    • Café del Mare, Flamenco Lounge, Jazz, funk, Enigma, Intuitive music, Daft punk and so on....I listen all kind of music.

    10. Favorite color(s)?

    • Very difficult to say...i like all nature or antiques colors, no neon , no black, no to clinical white.

    11. My family situation, including pets?

    12. My favorite yarns to knit with?

    • Very hard to say because I've not used all of yarn types. For today it is just wool, silk (their blends), alpaca and cotton.
    13. Any fiber I just hate?

    • No, I don't have such feeling towards any kind of yarn...I just do not buy the yarn I do not like:-)))

    14. What is my current knitting obsession?

    • Unfortunately I have no time to be obsessed nowadays.
    15. My favorite thing to knit?
    • No special preferences....the only condition is that I knit something that I like at the moment.
    16. What am I knitting right now?
    • A sweater...the knit model I took from Rebecca, but changed it a little bit:-), the pattern I took from Vogue Knitting...so I do not know what it will be eventually...maybe this project never will see the daylight:-))) We will see.
    17. What do I think about ponchos?
    • I like ponchos, I had knitted one for myself.
    to be continued......
