Hi my dears,

do you remember my collection Meet me at the meadow? :-) I designed it in 2011 and I made cute hat and purse and some appliqués.



Continuously I am working on update of my oldest pattern. And I finished another one - Hedgehod purse :-) I wrote the instruction clearer, changed the design a little bit, added new appliqué and I hope, you will like it :-)

this year, I decided to grow some decorative pumpkins. For first time in my life. So I plant the seeds and I literally sang to my small plants :-) And imagined, the sunny autumn - window boxes on our window with colorful heather and there my small pumpkins decorating it. And the reality is - that I have wonderful pumpkin plants, with many blossoms aaaaand 3 pieces of pumpkins :-). One of them was destroyed by starling, living in our Catalpa tree at our garden - so two pieces left. One of them is about 4 cm tall, and stopped grown 3 weeks ago and the last one - my beauty - is still growing :-) I am very happy about it! But the dream about my autumn decoration was disappeared :-) Do you remember my free pumpkin pattern? This year I tried something new. I knitted some. Yeees, you read good, I remove the dust off my needles. My hooks were jealous a little bit, but I calmed them down immediately, because made new owlie purse and some new autumn darling decoration. I love them! I can't wait to share them with you :-)

And I made some another to my Etsy shop also. They are ready to ship :-)

Thank you for reading, my dears :-) I wish you a perfect day!

Hi my dears,

how is your summer? :-) My hooks are on the fire and yours? :-) If you follow my instagram, you know, that I am not lazy girl. I love instragram, but I don't forget on my diary :-)

My dear diary, I was busy like a bee and I love it! I wrote some new patterns, wrote some free patterns, made some updates, made a Birthday cake for my little one and I crocheted some neeeeews :-) And I decided that will write about news I made dutifully and regularly :-)  

So today,something new :-) My new blue bag with big flower. I love it. The colors combo, the textuted pattern, the size and material, all is perfect for me :-) 

... as you see, this bag in not my favorite only LOL

I love to use the strap with little snap hooks. I always remove it from old bag and give it to new one :-) It is variable and the color is neutral, so it suits to almost colors :-)

If you would like to crochet the bag, the pattern is in my pattern store already :-) Just on Etsy but I will add it to the other stores soon too :-).

Hi my dears,

do you know what? The time is running sooooo fast. My little girl celebrated her 9th Birthday ♥. I can't belive it. She loves My little ponies, and she wished a cake with a pony. And all month I pumped her: "What pony from all do you love most? " And everytime she said someone else :-) So I took all my courage and make 6 main ponies from My little pony group and made a cake :-)  She was so happy, when she saw it. And I was so happy too. And I found new recipe for cake base, my previous was great to but this one - I have only one word - delicious! :-) And of course our favorite raspberries inside :-)

So my love, I wish you strong health and positive energy around you. Stay happy! 

We love you so much ♥ 

Do you like granny squares? I do! So I joined grannies and buttons and yes, I love this bag. It is big enough for shopping with my girls :-) Do you see? I am slowly getting back to my natual hair color :-) 

And yes, sometimes I am wearing a jeans, but it is not so often. I am still obsessed by wearing skirts :-)

....  in January

A little joke for Friday:-)
