Barefoot sandals by Lasunka for your happy summer

Today I present to my readers talented handmade artist Victoriya. She has a shop on Etsy called Lasunka.

She wrote me some words about her:

“My name is Victoriya. I was born in Russia and spent most of my life there but then I met my future husband who changed my life. We’ve got married, I’ve moved to Greece and now we have 5 children and we live on Paros Island here. I am paying a lot of attention to our family life but I love to create so I always fine a time for it. 

Creating something with your hands charge it with the atmosphere of creativity and love. This gives you the opportunity to stand out. Every creation is individual and made especially for you. I like to make my friends and family happy with handmade accessories. And I want that these beautiful accessories make you happy too, like other people who has had a chance to appreciate the beauty my barefoot sandals. "

Barefoot sandals and high socks, made by Lasunka are lacy and delicate creations for girls who easyly and light-hearted walking through life and enjoy every moment. 

These barefoot sandals can be worn for a walk along the beach, to a pool party, on the yoga or just at home. But the most special occasion is to wear them for a beach wedding ceremony, after all, you don’t need shoes on the beach? Then your bare feet will feel tenderness of warm sand and everyone will admire you.

Barefoot sandals look equally advantageous with naughty short skirt, shorts, breeches and even with jeans, as leg warmers with lacing. Oh, yes, these are my favorite! Of course you can’t wear them with jeans, but with a short skirt is’t just a win-win situation! All mens yes will be caught up by your legs, they will attract them like a magnet. Believe me - tested in practice!

I’m a happy owner of Victoriya’s barefoot sandals and they never leave my beach bag, because I do not know in advance when I’ll have the opportunity to wear them)

Victoriya gifted to my readers possibility to make their own barefoot sandals with this diagram:

It's easy to follow. Take thin cotton thread, better bright, make 5-6 ch in chircle. Then make 3 chains instead of first DC of every row. on the last row in angle instead make 15 chains instead of 5. When you finish, add two laces in remaining angles of triangle and your barefoot sandals are ready!

Desert Rose

Now arrived the most hot time in south Italy.  Temperature varies from 33°С to 38°С (91,4F to 100,4 F). Last year on my birthday July 13 was 42°С heat (107,6 F). All the grass has dried, there are no flowers in the fields. And the only oleanders bloom with their strange beauty along the roads. 

All around me have beige color  - It's color of dried grass, golden-beige color of the sand on the beaches... Also town is beige because all the houses here are made from beige stone from Lecce.  All this golden and beige dilute splendor has inspired me to create this ring. I called it  "Desert Rose". It remember me about the sand, the desert and dry wind. 
I made crochet flower from sand colored cotton thread and decorated the center with vintage glass bead. Then I connected it to beige leather flower. Together these two different textures make this ring similar to dunes of Sahara with their dark and light splashes.

Fox in our beach house

Last sunday in the yard of our beach house, we saw... the fox! It was eating figs, and it was so scraggy. So we gave some meat for it. We were lucky. We hade some ground meat at home since we planed to make pizza with our friends. It's really strange to see a fox there. We live in a crouded place, in the center of beach village near the sea. It was not afraid of people, and it eated the meat with no rush very close to us. So I made some very close photos of the fox.
L'altra domenica nel cortile della nostra casa al mare abbiamo visto... la volpe! Era tanto magra ed affamata che mangiava i fichi! Così abbiamo deciso di portarle un po' di carne. Ieri siamo andati per fare le pizze con degli amici e abbiamo comprato un po' di carne tritata per la volpe. E' molto strano vedere la volpe là: in un posto pieno di gente, nel centro di un villaggio di mare. Non aveva paura della gente ed ha mangiato la carne senza fretta molto vicino da noi. Per questo ho potuto fare le foto della volpe da molto vicino.



And other photo with me making pizza) This week I'll prepare the post about it with recipe.
Don't be afraid - it's easy)
Ecco un'altra foto - di come io faccio la pizza) Questa settimana preparerò il post di come fare la pizza con ricetta. Non avete paura - è facile)

Surprise on the road

Yesterday when we was going to the beach the road has been crossed… by a flock of sheep! I had a feeling that we are not in Puglia, but in Abruzzo or in Alpi. In the beginning and at the end of flock was going two dogs shepherd maremmani-abruzzesi – big white dogs that looked exactly like sheeps. Near the flock was a shepherd-man with three german shepherds.

Ieri quando andavamo con lo scooter al mare la strada è stata attravesata… da un branco di pecore! Avevo il senso che siamo non in Puglia, ma in Abruzzo o nelle Alpi. All’inizio e alla fine del branco c’erano due pastori maremmani-abruzzesi – grandi cani bianchi, che sembravano altre pecore. Vicino alla testa del branco camminava il pastore accompagnato da tre cani pastori tedeschi.
