Do you recognize them? :-)

OK, I will help you a little bit. Stone washed by Schepjes I used by crocheting my Sweet owl and Denim washed by Yarnart I used by crocheting my Patchwork pumpkin. Jump to the patterns by clicking on links, if you wish. :-)

Do you know these yarns? And do you love to work with them? Anyway, I am going to test some of the patterns I never shared and I am looking forward to doing it :-) Little by little - stitch by stitch. I am really trying to work on improving my personal skills like bringing things to the end and setting realistic goals. I don't want to wait until New Year's Eve to settle some new resolution. I would wish to be proud of myself, that I have already made a progress. :-)

So wish me a bit of luck, my dears. Oh, and write if you have anything to say. Maybe some interesting tips that have helped you :-)

are you feeling the spooky season in the air as much as I am?

I like that.
The smell of an Autumn morning.
The sun woke up between the clouds.
Pumpkins everywhere.
That feeling of All Hallows' Eve coming up.
The candles burning in the dark, the memories of the light of the souls of those who live beyond the rainbow bridge.
My magical forest, colored with all its colors.
My sad little hook that hasn't made a new creation with me in months.
So I broke the circle, picked a hook up, and created something ...

Hello, my dears,

it's Friday night and I'm trying to focus on family life. But to be honest, my family life is far from what it used to be and what I dreamed of most in the past. I know it's been a while since I've written any letters, and I know this isn't the obvious beginning of a post I've written in the past. But to tell you the truth, this past year hasn't been the worst for me, but it has definitely been different and really hard. And these days, I'm reading more than writing, listening more than talking, living my own little story in my head, trying to figure out what my path is, what's right or wrong.

And in the meantime, I read books. And there's ONE that's different than the rest. I often have to stop while I'm reading because my heart feels like it's going to skip a beat and all my senses inside me are screaming that these words hit it.

The whole book is about setting or changing your mindset, setting healthy boundaries, and building healthy relationships, but first with yourself... It's about not worrying about something all over the time, but being real and genuine. And that's something that was and still is very difficult for me, especially in the relationships with my closest ones. When I was in my magic forest, I was thinking about that book when I took this photo. I thought - who had the courage to bite into that amanita :-)  And I was thinking about my first post of this year (almost the only one :-), and it was about the word for this year. Do you remember? That word was the B R A V E R Y.

That book is named: Choose Wonder Over Worry by Amber Rae

I was going to share some of this book with you, but towards the end, it looked like I was going to rewrite the whole piece :-). And I totally agree with one review I read that said "... This is the only book you should read, even if you don't usually read these kinds of books". So I wholeheartedly recommend that you read it because it is worth it and because:

One of mine is to go to my magic forest ♥.

Would you like to share with me some of yours?

today, it is a day. I opened my blog and had the need to write something. Not just something! But my first post of this year, yes. 

Hi, my dears,

the third candle at our Christmas wreath is burning and you can look forward to the third gift from me to you. ♥ You have already found the crochet bootie pattern, Frankie - the Christmas reindeer pattern in your e-mailboxes. 

I was thinking about the third gift ver much and I choose a gentle and fragile Angel. 

 This one is my favorite one. ♥
