Hi, my dears,
the hug. Sometimes the hug is the only thing you really need. Did you know it?
This sloth knows it very well too. ♥
Did you know why sloths are so slow? What do they have in common with avocados, and that they are great swimmers? For the curious ones like me... read this article TOP 10 incredible facts about sloths written by The Sloth Conservation Foundation.
Sometimes I feel that I am slowly the same as a sloth. 17 months! This is how long it took me to publish a new pattern. Instead of being angry at myself, that it took me so long, I am happy, that I finally finished it. Do you know that for all this time I was just one little step closer to finishing it? I am delighted, that I broke my designer/publisher block. I am as happy as this sloth. Thank you very much for still being with me. ♥
Would you like to crochet this friendly little hugger?

Your soul already knows the answer.
You just have to be quiet enough to hear it,
and brave enough to listen.
- Stacie Martin -
Are you ready to follow your soul?
Are you brave enough to face your fears?
Do you want to live in truth with yourself?
Do you want to laugh again?
Do you want them to see you for who you truly are? Strong, smart, funny, happy, inspiring...
Do you want to laugh again?
Do you want them to see you for who you truly are? Strong, smart, funny, happy, inspiring...
Let them see your worth?
And will you do something with it?
Or are you just going to wait and tell yourself you can't change it?
And let them drift apart day by day from you?
Will you let your fear win?
Or will you muster the courage to become the CEO of your life?
You know it won't be easy.
You know there will be doubts and obstacles.
But look back at how many obstacles and hardships you've already overcome.
Realize that you have the strength to handle that and more!
But this time, you'll be fighting not only for yourself, but you'll be fighting for them too.
Even if they don't get it yet.
But one day, they will understand.

I believe in it.
I believe in you.
And I believe in them!
Imagine, my sweet little girl, that it will work.
Imagine, my sweet little girl, that it will work.
And you will live in truth with yourself and with them too.
In love.
Maybe these words written by my heart to me will speak to you too if you need that, my dears.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being with me... even though I have been lost for a while. But I'm coming back little by little. Wiser, stronger, more understanding, and more humble...
May the year 2024 be the year of following the voice of our souls.
Always yours,
Vendulka

Hi, my dears,
it is almost here. The May. ♥ One of my favorite months. In our country, May is called the month of love. There I a tradition, that lovers kiss under the cherry tree in blossom, so that their love will last another year again. What a lovely tradition, isn't it?
I like May for other reasons too. One of them is the fact that my younger fairy was born this month. ♥
My lovely forest is starting to come to life.
Another reason could be that my favorite Instagram challenge called #amigurumay, invented by Ilaria from Airali design, is starting. Yes. :-) What's the point? Every day post some pictures, reel, or story on the topic of this funny challenge according to amigurumi on your Instagram with hashtag #Amigurumay. What is most important about this challenge? Fun! :-)

So I am gonna prepare my hooks and yarn and this year, I wouldn't want to miss a day of this awesome challenge and I am really looking forward to it. Have fun with me, my dears! And remember, May is the month of love, so show your love to each other. ♥
XOXO
Hi, my dears,
so here it is. A Spring. I still love this time of the year so much. I am working on some changes as I wrote in my previous post. So this Spring will be like fresh air for me.
I am sorting photos on your phone and I noticed, that I didn't share with you some of the bright moments of my crocheting. How could this have happened? So here are some of them. :-)
My owls in a special edition about crocheting at Kreativ magazine in 2022
Find the pattern HERE.
Shots from my crocheting in National Broadcast Czech Television in 2021
Quick picture from my interview with Fajne klubka in 2020
about my crocheting, plans, patterns, and much more.
So this spring I am cleaning the house into the deep. Before I read some books about cleaning, of course. :-) You know me, I'm the studious type. These two I can highly recommend. The gentle art of Swedish death cleaning by Margareta Magnusson. It is not sad, don't worry :-)
&
Real Life Organizing by Cassandra Aarssen. Cassandra has also a great blog with tips, podcasts, and advice on how to keep your house clean and don't get crazy about it.
And do you know what? It works! My happy dancing :-)
I am learning to write my notes and tasks better, and I'm learning to work better and more efficiently with my time. Of course, with the help of the book. :-) The holy grail of personal productivity and time management. Do you know this system? I am pretty sure you do. But in the case that there is someone like me, so here it is The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll. OK, my journal is not as pretty as what I saw on the internet, and some of the tips and inspiration are amazing. But first of all, I need to learn to keep myself more organized. But I am pretty sure I will also try some doodling there soon.
Do you remember my last post, I wrote about my new word for this year. And it is a change. Today I read a very clever quote, sadly I don't know the author. Anyway, this is it:
Choice. Chance. Change.
You must make the choice,
to take the chance,
if you want anything in life to change.
This really hit me. And with this wisdom, I will end today Take care, my dears. ♥
XOXO
