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?

A Crochet Gift

Today we are sharing the story of a personal request gift! Dimitris, a friend and colleague of mine at school didn't have the chance to be at our bazaar (at Past Tense), so he made a custom order, afterwards. He wanted a special gift for his girlfriend! And it was his request the gift to be a pair of red crocheted heart earrings. Double Crochets to the rescue! 

I made them with extra care and of course love, and here they are, a lovely pair for Eirini! 

Marietta was extra inventive with a special love packaging. We added small little paper hearts and letters spelling love! You could call it "late Valentine's", or "really early one"! What do you think? I always love a romantic gift idea, how are you when it comes to "the matters of the heart" crafts?

Wish you guys all the love in the world!
hug,
Panagiota
