And Aglais urticae

P.S.: I took 2 books with me - what a naive girl, am I :-)

Thank you for your time, my dears! 

Have a great weekend ♥

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

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!
