Hi my dears,
do you remember my purse with long long long name: Tell me please, where I can find the rainbow? Yes, I admitt, really long name - but I love it :-)... When I designed this little rainbow purse for our little rainbow faires, you wrote me sooooo many times, if I could make a biggger one - for bigger rainbow fairies :-)

Soooo here it is. And it is really big :-) I used Lily sugar and Cream cotton yarn and the colors of this yarn are really gorgeous.
The Big Rainbow Bag pattern is ready :-)
Hi my dears,
OK, it is time to admit that the Autumn is in full swing, but I have still the Spring in my mind. And accordingly that looks my New Autumn Collection 2014 - butterflies, flowers and colors in the main role :-) Ooooh, I am still going by different way, that the others. I know, that Autumn colors looks completely different - but I can't use them, not now - maybe next Autumn? I just need to brighten up that grey days, I really need to see all that colors around me! :-)
So, here it is:

P.S.: OK - one Autumn picture :-) This realy huuuuuge mushrom found friend of mine, when we were together on the trip at the mountains at Tuesday. I found only some small one with many holes :-) but I was so excited as I found this big mushroom myself :-) I never saw this huge mushroom.
Ta daaaaah !
I know, I was ambled a little bit - I am sorry. Belive me, it was not on purpose. Do you know this joke? : " Would you like to entertain God? Tell him about your plans " And this is all my life - my plans never work. But finally - the pattern is ready! Thank you very much for your patience.
When I designed this colorful rainbow bag - in Spring 2012 - yes - it is really so long, I was suprised too, how the time goes fast! ...
So back to my speach - I just crocheted it without thinking about stitches, listened only my feelings. I am very happy you like this design. But you know, writting a pattern is completely different thing. I was unsure if I could make it once again - but this time - with counting every stitch, with the sure, that I could write in that way, that anybody could make it. I was thinking about the material I will use. To you could find and use it too. I still changed it, because I wasn't satisfied with the result. It drawed me crazy! But finally I found new material, which is available worlwild, and I hope, you will like it. I changed the design a little bit too. I made a new Crazy rainbow bag for my beautiful sister :-).
And this one - this is my own :-) Different material and little bit different design too... I made so many version :-D
Oh, I almost forget - I wrote also new free tutorial: How I sew the lining in my crocheted bags. Maybe you will find it usefull :-) ?
As I promised in my last post - I was taken some pictures of my new project - new embellishment for my little girl's jeans.
Are you amazed like your little babies are growing directly in front of your eyes as same as I am? Our sweet Natalka grew up 4 cm (1,6 inches) from spring so it was time to buy new trousers! This time we bought boys' jeans, because they were most comfortable for her - she don't like wearing skinny jeans, what is so cool now. I love watching the way she is thinking about her own clothes. And I promised that I will embellish it same way as I embellished the jeans for my goddaughter in past. Natalka loves owls as same as like her mommy :-) So I decided to embellish her new jeans using crochet appliques on woodland topic. I choosed owl - how else? :-) - then appliques of colorful tree and mushroom. I used my patterns (some of them are waiting for me to be finished), bright colors, but it had to be in harmony with yellow and red stitches on the jeans. She adores yellow color - so the owl is yellow! And another trousers is waiting for me. This time it will be for my goddaughter again and the task is: the cat. Ooooh - how I love my sweet girls - they are so inspirational :-)
Today's shot of Snowy Owl |
She was watching on me, while I was taking pictures of another owls. They were totally disregard me. But this one not. She was sitting, watching and waiting for me patiently and then she gave me this special moment. I felt it. It was so strange moment and I had the tears in my eyes..
I just love owls ... Do you see the background behind- hihi? Yes, I have to say it aloud - the owls is my obsession :-) This time I created small ornament baby owl. I used basic part of the owl as an applique for embellishment of my daughter's jeans also. But I have to take some pictures.. So in next contribution :-)
Hi there, I was quite quiet, don't you think? Yes I was, because I was very busy, with no time for writting a blog and crocheting as well. I am still busy, but I miss my beloved activities very much, so now the quiet is over! I miss a summer as well, the autumn is definitely coming - so I decided to make an autumn time a little bit nicer for me. I was thinking about autumn colors and created new collection. I smuggled rapsberry color there LOL - although the end of the summer is, we still have raspberries on our garden. So I could use raspberry color in autumn collection with permission of the nature :-)
So here it is - my new Autumn collection - part I
Owl coaster
Among my beloved things belong crocheting, coffee and owls and when I join everything together then crochet owl coaster arises :-)
Owl hanging ornament
The patterns for crochet owl coaster and crochet owl ornament are already ready :-)
.... last picture of our raspberries
Are you curious on Autumn color's study part II? It will come soon ..
Do you know that feeling, that time is running so fast that you can not to perceive it ? I don't know, if you feel the same, but sometimes I have the feeling that I am still teen, but I am not yet..... It seems like my brain don't want to accept the reality and don't want to belive it!:-) ..... I am just wondering - what if inside that women, mum and wife .. what if is still hidden that little girl, who likes beads, buttons, pink color and all that glossy things. Who is fascinated of princess' dress and has own secret naive dreams.... and for that girl I designed this bag ... because I think that there will be no better time to wearing it, then now. To make it for yourself and just for a while enjoying that feeling only to be the little girl again :-)
Please, let me introduce to you my new bag :-)
Would you like to take a cup of tea with me my dear girl?
As you know from some of my older post, I love the linden smell in the air :-) One of the other reason of my fascination of linden is my beloved grandmother. She made best linden tea I have ever drank :-) We sit opposite to each other, drank this tea and talked about everything... She coddled me... She left us one sunny July few years ago. She was an amazing women - I miss her smile, her kindness, her calm, her wisdom so much. She was an excellent piano player - soloist in the national theather. She was the real lady from old times - fragile outside but strong inside. I am just listening this great piece of Frederic Chopin while I am writting this post, remembering of this wonderful women.
... In memory of my beloved grandmother Stepanka
If you would like to crochet this cute coaster for your mother or grandmother,
here you could find the pattern :-)
