Sweetcase Photo shoot Part 2.

Μιαμ! να'μαι ξανά, από τη φωτογράφιση για το Sweetcase, που αν θυμάστε από εδώ {ή από το facebook} πόζαρα για τον φακό της Ειρήνης. Eντάξει υπάρχει μια μεγάλη πιθανότητα, να είμαι ουμπερ ψώνιο που ποστάρω την μούρη μου τόσο πολύ -χαχαχα-, αλλά έλα μωρέ, τόσο κόπο κάναμε! Για να μην αναφέρω πόσο καιρό έχω να βγω ωραίες φωτογραφίες, καθώς μου ξενυτέφτηκε το άλλο μισό Double Crochets, μοντέλο και φωτογράφος μου... η Παναγιώτα. Τέλος πάντων, ας μην πολυλογώ, ψώνιο-ξεψώνιο, ορίστε οι φωτογραφίες:

Το story και εδώ, όπως και στο προηγούμενο post, το ίδιο: θέλαμε να φωτογραφίσουμε τα Sweetcase πραγματάκια, τρύπωσαν και μερικά Double Crochets, μερικές γκριμάτσες μου, χαρτοπόλεμος (!!)  και νάαατη η φωτογράφιση! 

Αυτά για σήμερα! Έχω ένα ακόμη part -έλα τελευταίο- με μερικές ακόμη φωτογραφίες που τραβήξαμε μιας δεν μπορούσα απλά να τις κρατήσω στον υπολογιστή μου..!! Τι λέτε;

Μιουμ, Μαριέττα ♥ 

υ.γ. δείτε τα υπόλοιπα parts εδώ-Part(1) και εδώ-Part(3)

So this is my blog

If you have been following Double Crochets for a while now, you already know that it's a blog, a brand and a team created by me and my sister, Panagiota. And you might already know that there are a lot of changes happening around here. Panagiota due to loads of work the whole past one and a half year, she didn't have the time to focus on Double Crochets, leaving me responsible around here. Now that we have both moved to different cities, living our lives, I had to decide what is do be done! Writing this post supposed to help me clarify/resolve the future and the purpose of this blog. We always worked very beautifully as a team and she is a lot more than the best model for photo shoots ever, but I have to move on and accept that things ought to change. To be honest, it's not easy, and I have no clue what Double Crochets' blog will be about in the years to come.

I am not quite sure if I'm keeping the name, I know that if I don't intent to be "loyal" to crocheting and yarns and all..... the name "Double Crochets" will be truly misleading...! Don't get me started with how difficult rebranding is. But as Double Crochets have stated in the past:

...We both share the love for handmade, unique and special things that each and everyone has the power to create ... We really want to "spread the thread" of crocheting, knitting and craftmaking but mostly we want to share the love of creating and appreciating things that are made with love..

 I know that I will always love handmade and unique stuff. I know that I'll always enjoy creating stuff, and as far as the word "creation" includes design, drawing, photography, creating beautiful content, crocheting, sewing, knitting, collage, or even pulling together anything in order to make the world a little bit more creative, I will definitely want to be a

 creative person.

And so this is my blog, 

           and my ideas, and my decisions and my space to express creativity.

Double Crochets is the name of my blog at the moment, and all I have to do asap is to feel comfortable and connected with it. :) Panagiota will always be my sister (I mean c'mmon!) and she will always have a home in my home, and a blog in my blog. But that's the day I decide that Double Crochets is me. :)

I am the curator, the designer and the person behind answering emails 

(*and also the one to miss the deadlines and to make mistakes and trying to accept that that's life!)

glad to meet you

I really appreciate handmade, and when speaking for crocheted and knitted stuff they can be considered my favorites! If you want to learn more about these super original creations and their creator Eugenia, you can find her here. I'm off to drink my coffee and enjoy the Sunday breeze of Chalkida.

Baby W.i.t.c.h. live at Alavastron

Do you remember her from that post? Well I attented one more live of Michaela Paras, aka Baby W.i.t.c.h., at Alavastron, Athens this time. Michaela was wearing a sailor stripe dress, her Double Crochets' black cuff and a special earring I made her for that night! Apart from her style choices (which I dig), I  highly recomend listening to her music, it's divine!

Βερύκοκο

"βερύκοκο" means apricot in Greek!
We have this apricot tree in our yard and 2013 is the first year that it bear more than 2 fruits! It is so unique and refreshing to cut fruits from your own tree (even a small one like ours) and eat them! I grabbed the opportunity that Panagiota was at home and asked her to shoot some photos.

do you enjoy apricots?! apricot jam maybe? nom nom/
did you also notice that apricot inspired earring I crocheted?
