Hi my dears,

I am writing as I promised :-) I am busy like a bee, there are many news in our family life. My baby girl goes in 1st grade! I am touched and sad and happy - all in one - it run so fast! After almost one week she still loves school LOL, she is like little a little bit confused ladybug ♥ And we are in moving process, my hubby is reconstructing our small house from 1902 - several years, with his own hands. He is my hero! But we both know, that it is more complicated, that we had imagined and we are really tired.  But the great thing about all that situation is, that we are close to each other as a family and that our girls see, that nothing comes alone. If you would like to have something, you just have to work for it :-) And they are happy and grateful for every improvement. Sooooo only one sentence: Show must go on, right? :-D

In a meantime I crocheted some creations also :-) 

I made my humble boy as a custom order. I still love this creation so much. And I hope, that the my sweet customer will like it too :-)

I just have to make another pumpkin owl. Just because I love it! This one is ready to ship :-)

And my dreaming owl I created as an ornament and packaged it as a gift to one of the order :-)

So my dears, 
I wish happy and successful new school year for your kids and enough patience and strong nerves for you! :-) I will write the update soon.

Yours,

Vendulka

Hi my dears,

I promise, that I will write my owl hoodie cardi pattern, so I am working on it very intensively right now and when I need to make a little break I am testing my new bag pattern. I am really curious, how you will like it :-)

Hi my dears,

And I guess I am on the blue line.... and I really like it :-) 

I am so excited, to show you my next projects. 

See you soon, my dears! ♥

Hi my dears,

It is a quite a long time, when I posted some owl desing. But please, don't think, that I didn't make any... Soooo here it is - new owl to our owls' collection :-)

Hi my dears, 

I would like to share with you one memory. 8 years ago was born one of the sweetest fairy I met :-) Thanks to her, I begun to create my colorful world. Happy Birthday, my sweet girl, I wish you many health, I wish you to stay the way you are... so funny, clever, empathic, full of life :-) We love you so incredibly much ..........................♥

And would be the Birthday without a cake? 

Hi my dears,

last days I was trying to working on something, what I can not never understand and I felt so nervous, and frustrated and my little Natalka watched me, came to me and told: "Mommy, don't be sad. Just imagine, that the world is filled by the rainbow. Then she paused a little bit and after then she said: "And I am that rainbow!" Ooooh, how much I love my little rainbow fairies ....

That's why I love the rainbow! It is magical and fragile, like a life.. a love.. a family ..

And then I was thinking, what I will prepare for you as my thanks for your favor - because you are my crochet family and I can not overviewed more the 500 thousand fans of my work on my facebook page, more then thousand readers here on my blog, everyone on my other socials, like flickr, pinterest, instagram, google+, twitter, bloglovin and my others virtual places. You are my shining stars, thank you so much for your favor! :-) And still - I can not belive in it, because I am not any real blogger, and I will never be. I just love the creating, the crocheting, to beeing a part of something real, which creating really means for me. Because creating and designing makes me happy. I see, like my own creativity is naturaly absorbed by my girls. I am always fascinated and gratefull for it! Anytime when I am creating something, I feel like some magic is happen. Maybe it sounds stupid, but I really feel that energy. Therefore - the name of my blog - Magic with hook and needles. Ups, how irony - I didn't took the needles in my hands soooo long :-) But I get wonderful yarn to my Birthday from the friend of mine Josie and definitely, I will knit a cardi using this yarn - but about it in some of my next posts. Today's post is about the great announcement!
