Kites

kites and squares

You may have noticed that I am lately participating quite often in Spoonflower's week contests and this week the theme is - kites (small size prints).
Here is my new entry for the Kites contest, that made it into the top ten finalists;)

Above you may see some neat and simple coordinates-squares, recently added to the Playground collection, just as the kites prints.




And what I am working on now is the boys tie template - cut and sew pattern to be added to my pattern collection. Making boys ties is very easy, but the problem is that the fabric needs to be cut in bias, which sometimes isn't working with all fabrics regarding theirs repeat type-pattern, so I think this may be a good and easy way to create the tie. And to fill better the fat quarter sheet there are 6 pieces that will create a beautiful softie ball. Hope you'll enjoy.

Also, my fabrics (some of them) from the same Playground collection and some bibs are available for purchase in beautiful on-line store in Norway, called Gerd Fjellanger. I am so loving it!!!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Something about years....

calendar 2012

First, I have to share this fun little (fitting 1 fat quarter) 2012 Calendar , made for the Spoonflower tea towel calender contest. I used one of my best selling designs, creating this baby inspired calendar, I suppose that it would be perfect for the kids room.

And then, it happens that I am turning 36 today....which reminded me that I should go and make a cake;)
Enjoy the day!!!

Yellow carpet

fall

fall

This post is all about yellow leaves in fall..... I found them pretty amazing- all the yellowish colours and shades that can be found on the trees and on the ground, just for a very short period of time, in contrast with the blue sunny sky.... can be so refreshing and inspiring during the fall season.

Dino fun



I am sure that some of you following my blog, know very well that my son is totally obsessed with Dinosaurs. I think that the only thing that he don't like about them is that they are gone and that they don't exist anymore. And each time we have to see and visit some Dino related stuff and exhibition, he would ask - "But will there be real Dinosaurs?"
Anyway, this image above is the black and white and very stylized version of the Watercolor drawing I made during this summer for the tee shirts, that will be very soon available in the shop. He loves it. And I can't wait to have them. I will certainly have the little giveaway here as soon as they will be ready.

dinosaur exhibition, fall 2011

We visited the Dino exhibition organized here, in Belgrade, at UŠĆE, near the Museum of Modern Art and it was very nice. There were 52 life-sized dinosaurs at 16,000 square meters and were made under strict control of experts from Paleontological Institute from Hanover, Germany.

Koko birthday party

Pablo 7th birthday

Pablo 7th birthday

Last week of October was full of festivities, and the most important one was Pablo's BD party. My boy is seven now and I am so blessed to have him in my life. We now have another small member of the family, arrived as a BD present, she is the guinea pig and kids named her Maza( something that would be translated like molly-coddle).

Pablo 7th birthday We had the BD party on Friday with 46 kids and it was hosted in the gorgeous, new place for kids, "Koko" placed within the sports and recreational complex of "Milan Gale Muškatirović" (formerly and better known as "25. maj"), located on the riverside. Here are some pics from the party;)
