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 ... 

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 

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...

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...

Family reunion

Every year, the last weekend of may is dedicated to a family reunion. This year it took place near the lovely town called Zlaté Hory (=golden mountains) its on the border with Poland and in the past they used to mine gold in there - clue is in the name :) 

my sister trying to ruin my picture... turned out quite good :) I love her face :D 

replica mills they used for making ore into brash to pan the gold from.. they are working and are used to do this every year before gold panning championship

Punky fish!

On Saturday my sister, our cousin and I took a trip to Ostrava. My sister studies there and as she wants to move to another apartment next semester, she asked us if we could help. Of course moving was not the only reason to visit. The other was a concert of our favorite band Rybičky 48 (it means Fish 48 :D )

The club it took place at reminded me of my favorite club in Brno, the atmosphere and music they plyed before the band started playing. Also, the supporting band was really great. Young boys maybe around 17, but great skill on their instruments and they had funny and cheeky lyrics. Very skate-punky and really awesome. And as they are from around Ostrava and I'm not, I asked what their name was and their sweet (too young for me :P ) bass player gave me a badge so that I won't forget ;) The band is called On the way by the way :D :D :D 

Mr. Jacob Fish in the middle :D

drummer rapping :D 

In their merch stand the band had awesome and really cheap (for band merch!) tees, so of course my sister and I bought got one - the same :D It's in the washer now, but I can't wait to wear it and take some outfit pics with it ;) 

Mustache and blubber

On Saturday I visited a Salvador Dali exhibition with my Mom and sister. Unfortunately it was forbidden to take pictures inside, so I have one for you from Google :D It was a private collection, so no really well known paintings. They were mostly lithographies, I even took notes on some that I liked for reviewing later, but I can't find them online, probably because they are really lesser known. Also there were some ceramics and statues and an interactive section where you could take your inner surrealist out :D 

I am finally adjusting to my new work schedule, so this blog will hopefully be alive once again. I have a couple DIYs planned, fun next weekend with my sister that I will definitely post about :) and the weather is getting nice, so everything seems great right now ...

New Year's Eve

Some pictures from the last night of 2013... We spent it in a pub with a huge table to ourselves, we danced,we argued a bit, we drank a lot :) 

Happy halloween

DIY: Bracelet roll

Yesterday I was at the flea market. I have no pictures of my display,  because I went there alone with just my crappy phone and friends came to see me later and the light was already bad for phone pictures... Nevermind, I show you one diy piece of my display, because I managed to save some pictures from my memory card (repairing my camera may take up to a month :( I hope I can borrow a camera from some friends or my sister :P otherwise this blog will be filled with webcam goofiness :D )

So, here's my DIY bracelet display with instructions how to make your own :)...

I started with a paper roll leftover after using up paper towels. I wrapped it in some paper, I used three large sheets of some random paper which I have lying around at home :) This was just to give the roll more volume, just like those rolls in stores have.

Next I took some black scrap and sewn a tube to fit the roll just nice. I made it a lot longer than needed so that I could tuck the ends in and not finish them. I did this because I may want to add some sort of support and before the flea market I had no time to figure that out :D 

And here's my bracelet roll with all my sign bracelets :) I don't have the collection complete anymore :) I sold some of them, I'm happy for it, because I love making them :D 

Road trip...

On Thursday we went on a roadtrip. We packed into our tiny Rover, I couldn't believe it :D 4 people, a tent, sleeping bags, drinks... :) I planned the entire trip, because I like to make lists and stuff :D Here are some pictures from our trip, I took over 300 pictures in 3 days :D

 if you follow this blog for a while, you know I love anything to do with cars and motorbikes :) My dream is to have a table made out of engine :) this V8 would be perfect for it...

Chateau Vranov

 Cornstein castle - it's a ruin, but pretty and romantic with spectacular views...

 I took a picture of this bridge as a keepsake for my grandmother. Maybe ten years ago we visited this place with our family on a reunion, and while my grandmother and others were at the campsite, My grandpa, cousin and sister went to this bridge, found the service footpath and we were climbing throug the bottom part of the bridge :) She was so scared and angry, now she can just laugh at it :)

We had a great time on our trip, we are already planning next year's trip :)
