On life lately

July
July July July July July July July July July All of the free time I had in June and July I spent working on orders for my crochet dolls. And I have to be honest, the whole process has taken the joy out of crocheting a bit, to the point when it felt like a full time job. And I have to remind myself that I already have one full-time job, plus another one of being mama to Sofia. Don't get me wrong, I love my customers and I am grateful for all the orders but I have to be fair to myself too. So I've decided I won't be taking any orders for a while. With the last parcel shipped I am really excited about all the newly found creative freedom. I already feel like I have a million of ideas, if only there were more hours in the day!

Here are some pictures of my life lately. Nothing special really, just random snaps.

    Good decision - the joy is important too! I made so many chrochet blankets last year that it felt like a job for me too, so I´m not doing any this year. :-) Maybe I´ll feel the "itch" when winter comes. :-)

    Beautiful pics!

Last week Sofia turned one and a half years old. She is 84 cm tall and weighs 11 kg. She's got almost 16 teeth now. She is so funny that one. She calls her grandma "dear". When she saw a Christmas lights deer on the street (made of wires) the other day she said "the deer is made of spaghetti". One time she was making a pretend-soup from felt veggies and insisted on putting real crackers in it too. Her favourite game though is to bounce on yoga ball and to sing. She loves songs. Her favourite ones are these from the old Russian cartoons I show her: Town Musicians of Bremen and Winnie the Pooh . (They are with English subtitles, please have a look if you are curious, I personally think they are awesome!). And of course she loves Elmo, Dora and her fave English language song is "Wheels on the bus". Ane she loooooves books, I really hope she doesn't outgrow this. Here is a little children's poem she's helping me read, it's in Russi...

learning to crochet

I think last time I did any crocheting when I was a kid, I decided to give it another try and made this Totoro toy. It turned out to be quite easy! You can make one too using this pattern . Now I wish I could make my own patterns but I guess it's too soon for that.

Hi guys, I finally did it! My Etsy shop is now open! A while ago some of you asked if I am planning to sell my prints online. So I've set up an online store, but for some reason it took me forever to figure out all the printing, packaging and shipping details. For the last couple of month I really concentrated on getting it done and managed to figure it all out! Right now I have 12 prints listed , floral for now. I am planning to add many more, including custom prints and postcards. I want to thank you once again for all your encouragement, support and sweet comments about my photos, it means a lot to me!
