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!

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.

It's 2020 and I'm going back to blogging

Image
I know, blogging is so 2010, isn't it? But to be honest I feel like I am missing this experience on Instagram. Sure, IG makes it difficult to leave, writing posts on the phone is easy but there is something missing for me: a sense of direction, putting effort into my posts and organizing my thoughts, ideas and interests. I've been trying to pack to blogging for the past few years and would get stuck on choosing the blog platform etc. That's the reason I'm making it simple this time, I'm going back to my old blog, the one I had before Instagram years ago. There is not even an app for Blogger on my phone and I need to use a computer to write a post. I know so not very Insta! But maybe it's better that way if it makes me slow down and be more intentional. Even if nobody is reading this any more I will have space for me, my own diary and hopefully a useful tool for self development. I'm excited to start over again!

my news

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!
