Her name is Sunny - A´Melilla Sunny of Silamja

She was the daughter of the most beautiful Rhodesian ridgebacks I have ever seen. A white lady Amalka aka Ambra z Roudnicka and the best of the best Ascot Alta Mirano.

And she was really like her mother - a real lady

She was a mommy of amazing puppies ♥ Who are by their loving families now. Thank you very much, you love and take care of our sweet babies.

She was my Birthday's wish for thirty. She had a mark of white heart on her belly. Thank you so much, my dear Silvinka, you choose us to be family of this crazy baby girl. When our second fairy was born, she got the milk, like she was a mommy. We enjoyed so much fun together. She was so sweet.

She was the only one, who saw me broken in all "beauty" of madness and her love saved me. She was calm and crazy at the same time, like me. We were dancing, laughing and crying together. She was an amazing girl - my honey princess. For most people, she was just a dog. But not for me. For me, she was the anchor, my soulmate. She was here for me and I was here for her.

She was also the true friend of our two fairies.

♥

Every time, she had wondered me, how brave she is - when she gave birth to her amazing puppies or when she had the heavy injuries or when we walked together and she protected me against the world.

Or when she was fighting with cancer. That picture was a gift from my true friend and very talented artist Katka and I am very thankful for this. She loved the dandelions. She was my dandelions hunter :-) She was wearing a funny t-shirt, recovering after heavy surgery in June. 

Yes, she was a real fighter. She was so patient when I nursed her. She almost killed that beast. Almost. She passed away in a few seconds, at home, so calm, so reconciled..... just like she was only sleeping - my sleeping beauty. This went so quick. I didn't catch to tell her goodbye. But I am happy for her, she didn't suffer. Most of the time, I am trying to work, like a robot, because it is the only time when I can forget, that she is not here anymore.

So now she is just sleeping in the place where is no cancer, no pain - just peace and some gummies, she loved these. I am so thankful for she was in my life. She still is.

So much thankful for that. I can't even tell, how much I love her and how much I miss her.  

Thank you for everything, my sweet honey princess. I love you, we all ♥

In a memory of A'Melilla Sunny of Silamja

My Honey Princess

Hi my dears,

how are you? 

I would like to share with you my newest project. A week ago I started my personal challenge. I would like to crochet granny square dress - it will be the Birthday present for myself from me :-)

I never made crochet dress in adult size and I never made a dress for myself also - it will be my premiere. Sooo, today it is a day 7 of my challenge, so I decided to share my progress on my blog also of course :-)

I was thinking about making this dress for years and I also was searching for the right material for years. I thought, that I will use my favorite Catania, but finally, I choose a wonderful material - a mixture of Viscose and Elastane, the Czech production, which recommend me one of our famous designer of knitted and crochet fashion Dana Vrbova. Anyway, she made wonderful models. Take a look on her Insta :-)

After a long time, I took my 2,5 mm hook. 

And this is the progress of my personal challenge - day 7 :-)

Do you have also some crochet challenge? And did you fulfilled it? What motivates you to try something new or something big or hard? :-)  Do you have some schedule? I am not good to keep the challenge, what set for myself, but this one I would really do. This one would be the breakpoint :-) 

Thank you very much for reading, my dears ♥

Hi, my dears,

how are you?

It looks like I was disappeared, don't be worry, I am still here :-)

But for all worries and work, I almost forget to share the beauty. I missed it so much and I missed you so much too, my dears.

It is a year ago when my heart was broken by tragically passing away of my dad. To tell you the truth, I am still not all right. My father always wanted to see me strong and smiling. Well, I don't know if I didn't fail, I guess, that yes. But I am really trying to be a strong girl :-).

Maybe you are wondering what I was doing all this time? Well - I started a second full-time job. You know, I understand, that we are living in the digital age, I love sharing, but among sharing and stealing there is a thin border. All these groups and sites, where are all that digital stuff, like I don't know - like my patterns - shared for free, thousands of the downloads for free, or for someone else profit, and you have no power to stop it...it forced me to quit or almost quit with the work I admire most of all. I was so sad and still, I am. You can't fight these windmills forever, at least I can't. For ten years I am trying to inspire others, to create something fresh and cool, to share the light and I still love it. I still love my colorful world, where I feel safe, I love my loyal friends and followers, and I am still trying to share the inspiration and the light  ♥, but I am really tired from the stealing of my art, patterns and my spirit. It will take some time, to both my jobs will get used to each other, or one totally destroys the other. Well, I will see. 

Anyway, now we have 4 days off because it is an Easter, yeah! Sooooo I took advantage and wrote you some letters. And my Knitcrate came, yes, so you can read some new review if you wish :-)

So my dears, I have some new chicken on my table and I am going to crochet. 

Enjoy your Easter :-)

Thank you for reading ♥

So take a look with me at April's kit.

And the topic and inspiration for this kit iiis:

★ E N T O M O L O G Y ★

OMG, look at the color I get. I love it so much, exactly for my soul and fits my blog too, what do you think? :-)

Anyway, you can take a closer look and see other colors, all are like the April weather - a little bit moody :-)

This color is so gently as same as these Long-tailed Tits in front of my window.

OK, back to the KnitCrate :-)

There are many 4 beautiful patterns inside for crocheters and knitters as well. 

Yes, you read correctly - cashmere - hmmmmm :-)

So smooth and pleasant. And I have to tell it again - THAT COLOR! ♥
