Sweet screams

New member of Monster family - Sweet Screams Frankie

I was after her for a couple months, last time I saw her at great price, but paint in her eyes was damaged, so I passed, and this time I was lucky. And she has the best box hair from all my dolls (except Wydowna - she had no problem )...

And Watzit is instant friend with Ghoulia :)

#Yarn Addict

Its all in the title - Im officially addicted to yarn and crochet. After my trials with basic chains and stuff, completing one handbag and not making progress for a year, Im back to it :D 

Over the last two weeks I learned how to make like three types of flowers, granny squares, and I found this pattern - I saw it on Ravelry many times before but never thought I could do it ...

THIS is it - sample below 

I will be making crochet skull shawl from the grey wool and huuuge bunch of granny squares for pillows from the colored ones. Black is  super thin and I want to try and crochet a lace collar from it ... 

Month of the book

In Czech libraries, March is for last couple of years the month of a book - this is to attract more people to libraries... I also want to visit this month, but my personal month of the book will consist of reading books i recieved for christmas and some I downloaded (illegally :D ) 

I will start with this one book that I bought yesterday...

It's called Confession of an Inquisitor and its about witchcraft trials in Czech Republic. They are not so known because we are such small country, Salem trials are more famous but equally as interesting ...and terryfing at the same time... I suppose its a fiction story, not too historically accurate, so I have another book to check historical facts ...  

This other one is called Report of Unfaith (is that a word ?? :D ) and its a summary of facts about witch trials in Velke Losiny-Šumperk area. I got it last time I was there, from a relative. 

Next I have some unread H.P. Lovecraft stories, some poems and fantasy books in my tablet so maybe this month will be a bit too short for me... 

What are you reading ? 

Monster Love

On Saturday I did little photoshoots with each of my monsters :) so much fun ...

Merry Christmas, everyone!

2nd Advent

Yesterday we baked gingerbread and I spent all afternoon and today morning decorating them. My hand is sore, but i think it was worth it. In this picture is only our share, we also baked for grandma - I decorated them yesterday and now we are headed to her place to deliver them :) 

Small pictures are my best favorite ones - moose which now has his leg broken (thanks mom :d), Nightmare bfore christmas inspired stars and simple angel. The heart I gave my boyfriend :) 

1st Advent

Just a quick post today, to show how we spent the first advent sunday - by decorating the house as we always do. This year we changed up a bit and didnt decorate the staircase, but made garlands above every door instead. I absolutely love the little deer head I bought yesterday in Tesco :) 

Have a nice Advent time everyone. I will be sharing more decorations as we add them :)

Roadtrip - back to the crime scene...

Last year i blogged about a roadtrip we took with my bf, cousin and a friend. This year we decided to go back to the same place. We stayed in the same camp, but as a head planner I made sure we saw different things than last year. It was really awesome, i took a bunch of pictures and we had a good time. The weather was a bit colder, but I was the only one who noticed - the boys made fun of me for wearing so many layers but I was really happy in my onion costume :D 

Some nice pictures and memories were made that weekend :)

And here a little bonus shot, because if I told you you would never believe...

Yes that's right, we are making dinner on alu-cans :D because my beloved (this wonky little barbecue is from his house) forgot the grid that should hold the meat :D and as we had no other way to make our food, we had to improvise... I had to apologize to him, as I was angry that he drank 4 energy drinks, but if he didn't we wouldn't have anything to cook our dinner on :D 

Summer random

Hello, Im alive :) I was so busy with having all the summertime fun, I completely  forgot about this space (and some other stuff :D ) Today Im leaving for a camping weekend, so in the little spare time I have between packing, I made these little collages :)

In the beginning of July we celebrated my sister's bachelor degree in Ostrava by visiting a zoo, yummy drinks, yummy food and fun :) 

Some stuff I bought over the summer, and what I made and what I wore :)

After Im back from the camping trip, I will share some pictures from the music festivals I been to this summer. I have some pictures but no time to see them at all :D Now excuse me, I have to go make a playlist for the super fun trip ahead of me ... 

Loose tooth

Im so excited for my new handbag. I mentioned it here, and today it arrived. I had it delivered to work, I was looking forward to it all morning, but it didn't so I thought after luch they will call me about the delivery time. I was so surprised when I came back from a delicious lunch and this was waiting on my chair <3 I cant wait to wear my new handbag all the time, I will cuddle with it and sleep with it and :D haha share my joy, have a look :) 

Fish Family

you can think this is a part two of my Punky fish post :) basically it is. On Saturday we went to visit their show in a nearby city. It was part of a memorial of a lady who lived there, organised by her children... Photos are not really good quality, but thats rock'n'roll bitches... :D 

we got these picks and badges, both me and my sister picked the same :) and we had our tits signed, but those pics stay in family archives :D 

Little joys

I had a few really stressfull days at work last week, so I was really trying to enjoy the little things...

... like the fact that we got super cheap tickets for festival happening in August. Or that I found this pretty Frankie  Stein coffin filled with candy at a gas station...

and I ordered this Iron fist handbag for a great price <3 

Mother of cities

Old Town Square 

I was planning to go to Prague for some time now, since I found out about Tim Burton exhibition. First I had no money :) then I had no time, now I made plans with my sister to go, but she had no time. So last week I decided I will go on my own. I called my cousin if I could sleep over at his house, he said yes and that was it. So after I finished work on Friday, I rushed home to pack a few essentials and get on the train. It took me three hours to get there, but it was well worth it. 

On Friday we went for a walk, the city wass full of partying people, everybody screaming and drunk and as we only wanted to get some beers and chat, we decided to go back to my cousin's part of town, more quiet. We went to a smaller pub for beers and that was it. On Saturday morning we woke up, went to KFC for breakfast :D and then to Tim Burton exhibition. It was awesome, but unfortunately photographing was not allowed... So we had to sink it in, we discussed almost every single sketch and puppet, it was really awesome... I also was inspired to take out my own sketchbook and draw again after a very long time...

me with Balloon Boy :) 

entrance to Tim Burton exhibition - last place allowed to photograph

After the exhibition I wanted to do some shopping and we were supposed to meet a friend in Palladium shopping centre. I went to a few selected shops (see below what I bought :D ), than our friend finally arrived and we went to a comic book store (I had my own TBBT moment while flipping through comic books :) I wish Id bought some ... ) and he told us about a farmers market nearby. We went there, smelled all the delicious food, ate some and then went for some beers again :D and after that, it was time for me to catch the train again...

Style snaps

Here are some details of my outfits from last few days mostly before the heatwave attacked. Now Im barely able to function and all I can think about sitting in the office is cold shower :) But I made it my habit to take outfit pictures everyday before I leave for work, so here is a collection of some snaps I made with my tablet. I would add more, but some have harsh shades, some are blurred because Im moving around all the time and some are just crappy :D 

I have some exciting plans for the next few weeks so hopefully it will be the kick I need to get more into blogging again :)
