summer bits and pieces


it's a little bit late for this kind of a post right now
since it's almost winter
and there is a big chance it's gonna snow tomorrow night..
but, what the hell
lets pretend it's summertime, all over again
..
so, this summer
nikola and i have spent a month traveling trough herzegovina
and dalmatia..

we swam in ice cold water, at kravice waterfall
(in handmade swimsuit, of course)


and hiked a bit, with our croatian friends




 
visited medieval town of počitelj



and spent a week or two wild camping
at mouth of river neretva








since we came back from our trip
i've made ridiculous amount of clothes
but somewhere along the line, it stopped being fun to blog about that..
while i enjoy sewing, and sew every single day
taking photos of garments and writing about those garments 
or generally, writing about anything
became such a drag..
so.. dunno.. maybe it's just a phase
it's been a hard year (apart from that one month spent traveling)..
maybe next year brings blogging mojo back
..

  3. Your photos are fantastic. Beautiful. I am having a bit of a lull in my blogging mojo, too. My sewing time is still pretty sparse these days but I have made a few things recently that I just don't feel like blogging about. Hope it comes back :)

    1. thanks, liza jane.. same here, i've made so many new things, most of them being pretty loved and worn in heavy rotation, but i just can't be bothered with blogging at the moment :)

  4. Love your photos! And I've been feeling the same way lately - especially with the amount of time that goes into photographing and writing a post - could have sewn a whole other outfit! Lol - just do whatever makes you happy and don't force it if you don't want to :)

  5. I totally understand about your lack of blogging mojo! I feel like I'm always fighting that, ha! But I hope it does come back around, because I'll miss you! But in the meantime, take care of yourself in whatever way feels good to you.

    These photos are so stunning. What a treat for the eyes first thing in the morning! I want to teleport myself to those mountains... Thank you so much for sharing!

  7. I'm feeling the same way about blogging at the moment. Kind of blah. These photos are just SO gorgeous. Maybe one day I'll get to visit, too :)
