my anti - bags

Totes & Clutches I remember the early 2000s and the time of big brand "it-bags" and how it all became overdone afterwards. I've noticed lately I am not carrying handbags any more because simply I can't find any that I like. So instead I am using fabric totes and clutches. I find using pouches with totes makes it easier to keep things organized, otherwise throwing everything in one tote would make a huge mess. My husband jokes with me "and do you have another small bag to put inside that clutch?" Anyway... These are just some of my favourites out there.

Just when I finished putting together this post Leslie Oschmann's newsletter came in the mail. I forgot how much I like her painting totes! I think they are beautiful and original and would love to get one some day.

What do you use to carry things around these days?

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...

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!
