Pepita pattern

I was asked to write something about pepita pattern so here it is... For anyone who doesn't know... It is a fabric pattern with a characteristic small, two-colour check; in twill or linen weave, with 4:4 warping (this relation may differ). The most common combination of colours is white and black (or another deep colour). This pattern is used in woollen, cotton and silk fabrics. The origin of the term is most commonly ascribed to the Spanish dancer Pepita, who liked to wear this pattern; another theory claims it is derived from the Spanish "pepitas" - a fruit pip or the dark seed of the cotton plant (which is reflected in this pattern).  This pattern is very wearable and easy to combine with everything!    I love this Pennyblack wool sweater with pepita pattern.. It's very warm an comfortable!  Who was Pepita? Pepita had begun dancing when she was a child and displayed enough talent for her mother to take her to the premier

Time to study...

I have an exam on friday so that is why I'm not posting anything new... All I need right now is... time... which I don't really have...  After the exam I'm going away on a short "vacation"... I'll try to keep you posted :) You'll know more on friday :) I would love to read this book... maybe it would help... but... I don't have time :))) Do you think a book would help to prevent stress before the exams?

How I spent my NY

We wanted to spend New Year's on snow so we started our search in October... almost everything was allready booked so a friend of mine came out with the idea to go to Koroška region... She found this great hotel and we booked it... of course we were 100% sure there will be snow up there since it's situated at the edge of the Karavanke mountain range...  ...well we were wrong... But, we still had lots of fun and ate a lot  :)  home made cookies...yummy  red wine... of course :) it was freezing outside :)  Nex day... first day of the year... we went for a walk in the woods... so beautiful... so calm... so quiet... we found some snow... don't ask what I was looking at... I don't really know :)) Ekohotel farm Koroš wishing you all lots of love :)  This is Laika... she followed us almost everywhere we went... such a great and playful dog :) ...and the view...
