I've been such bad blogger lately but these pictures of Russia by Yoko Takahashi made me so nostalgic that I just had to share them with you. These are like looking into my childhood memories, travelling by trains to grandma's house in summer, feeling carefree. Just pictures of ordinary things but they take me into my happy place.

я всегда думала, в чем же проблема, в общей неэстетичности нашего быты или в нас самих и нашем умении видеть и передавать красоту того, что нас окружает. и поэтому для меня фотографии, сделанные иностранцами в России, - предмет повышенного интереса. и чем больше я на них смотрю, тем больше понимаю, что все-таки проблема в нас самих :(
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.
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!
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!
