Tulle skirts fun

Yesterday, I snapped a few shoots of the new tulle skirts I made for the SHOP, enjoying some of the last hot summer days of this year.









It always makes me smile when my oldest, after I take a few pics says: " Can you take the pics of me jumping?" Ever since my friend, Piki took some professional pics of her jumping for my poor neglected website (and to follow is the evidence...she had only 4 years and it was 6 years ago), she is obsessed with jumping on the pics.

Teddy bear plushie family

After more than a month, finally my plushies tempate pattern arrived and I immediately had to try it.



I love it and even that those 2 smaller bears needs to be sewn very carefully as they ARE actually pretty small, I must say that it is very easy to cut and sew them. I would honestly change the size of the "arms" making them a bit larger, but it's great to keep those things in mind for the next time;) Now I understand why many dolls and fabric toys have separately inserted things;)









But, kids just love them and already asking for more:)
Hope you like them too,
Katarina

September clothes

After a long week full of mixed feelings and tears (there have been a few hard days with new school commitments), we are somehow back to "regular schedule". At least I hope. This sort of regular schedule provided some sewing too (for the SHOP ); with the following results;)







I am slowly convincing my self that the summer is gone and therefore my sewing palette will start with some Indian summer tones going to the deeper tones.





There are some neat neckties for boys as well available in the shop, in different, fun prints.



Have a wonderful September,
Katarina

BTS

Officially the school started yesterday, but today is Pablo's first school day, after the yesterday's "welcome aboard" party. It is so difficult for me to comprehend that he is not a baby anymore and that now he will have to focus on some other activities, except playing around, which I think will be very hard thing. But, will see. Luckily, his big sister is so patient with him and always glad to help. I am so happy to have my kids and watching them grow in such a wonderful people is giving me so much joy:)





On the other, creative side, I have an event tomorrow to announce where I will be exhibiting some accessories. If you live in the area, please stop by, I hope it will be good.








Have a wonderful weekend ahead and all the best wishes to all mamas in the world having kids BTS again,
Katarina
