My sewing stuff

This is my sewing machine Janome. Actually, it's my first sewing machine, I hope, it's not the last=) lol It's perfect for beginners! It costs about $250 and works really well. My family gave it to me for my 24th b-day=))

I keep my sewing thread in the jar of my yummy ex-body cream =))  I know, it's weird, but now my thread smell like peaches)))  There're zips and some buttons in the blue metal box, also pins and other things I use.

Here're some of my sewing magazines. They really help if you never knew how to sew, but better to take some classes)) I'm thinking about it in future, but need to find pretty good school, which is pretty difficult here. Burda is my favourite sewing magazing. It's the best! Ever!

And that's how I keep my patterns to not confuse myself=)

My new cosmetic stuff

It was shopping day about week ago. I was not going to buy anything from clothing, just cosmetics.

Some of those are my gifts)) Cottage is shower gel, I'm not sure if it's Russian or French...Mine smells like white peach. YUMMY!!!! I always think about peaches, sun and south with this gel. Sunsilk - cream for my hair, I like orange jar and I know purple jar is pretty nice too. But I love orange))) Garnier cleanser is lovely too. I like garnier actually))) Adidas fragrance pure lightness, I LOVE fresh smells and fragrances)) I like L'eau par Kenzo also))) But I decided to try cheap version (it costs only about $20), it's very cool, but not very strong, maybe it's ok for couple hours but no more I guess. It gonna be cool for hot summer to be not smells annoying girl for people around)) lol And I've got deodorant Pure Lightness as well. Nivea lip balm strawberry. It soooo amazing! It cares my lips so well but it colors them also with natural red! My lips look so bright, but natural, so curious)))) Maybelline Affinitone foundation. It's cool if you have perfect skin, cuz it has powder effect. it makes your skin really health looking: fresh and smooth, as I like))) Lash Mascara by L'oreal with round brush (Telescopic  Explosion). Well, it's ok, but I will not buy it for myself again. I don't actually like L'oreal mascaras too much, I like Maybelline much more. But l'oreal has lovely foundations and eye-shadows. And the last thing I've got is

mini 'fake-it' kit Realness of Concealness by Benefit. It costs about $50 over here, but I paid about $35, cuz it was action in the store)) So I've got good discount for it)) I wanted to try anything by Benefit before. Well, I must say I will not buy it anymore again))) It's pretty heavy for my skin. Lemon stuff is lid primer, under it is concealer. Jars from left to right: Ooh la lift (under-eye "de-puffer"), LipPlump (primer for lips), HighBeam (luminescent highlighter). But I fell in love with design of the box! It's really cool and comfy to use! But as about quality.... I would rather buy anything by YSL, Guerlain or Lancome for this money))) I know their quality and they worth high price)) As about Benefit (about this kit), it worth it if you care what box you have)) By the way, we have NYX Cosmetics over here already))) But I know their site and I know their low prices)))) It's sooo exepensive here, like about $22 bucks instead 14, or even less)) That store steals our money)) lol Anyway I love shopping! I love to buy diff cute things, they really make me glad)))

My body care

My body care)) I love this crystal stick, cuz it's perfect antiseptic and it does not clog pores. I think it's better to use it instead deodorant, of course if you not sweat too much))) Next stuff I love - Garnier, cuz they have amazing lotions, they help if you have dry or dehydrated skin. Large jar is German body cream, it smells amazing for me, cuz I adore fruits and I like smell of peaches also))) Actually really much)) lol Brown jar is anti cellulite peeling with coffee and white jar is also anti cellulite cream. I do not believe they help to lose cellulite, but I realized they make skin sooooooo soft and smooth, just better, than regular cosmetics))

Pillows for sofa

Here are pics of pillows I knitted. Actually I did them cuz of extra yarn.

patchwork. This one I was knitting for pretty long, cuz it's pretty anoying to do small pieces and then to sew it in one.

This beautiful front side my mom made, actually she wanted to knit something, but it was long ago and now she doesn't need it)) So I took it and made this pillow.

Nothing special for this one, I was need to make anything from really extra yarn)) That's why circles are not really clear)) Anyway I like these pillows make our sofa cozy))
