Merry December

Hello, dear friends,

There are few weeks left till Christmas and I hope your feet are staying warm, your mind calm and your spirits high!

November came and went, together with my birthday, first 25 cm of snow, cold cold mornings with ice covering my car, our cat Luna walking around with a satellite receiver around her neck (at six months it was time for her sterilisation) and times spent nursing one or the other family member that got sick.

December started with children rushing downstairs every morning to open another little surprise box in their advent calendar, I am making my last custom bag for this year, also finishing up little holiday presents for the family and the children are helping me with Christmas decorations.

And tidying up my sewing supplies gave me an idea to offer something new in my shop: keychain tassel ornament or purse charm, made from different ribbons, trims, handmade beads and metallic charms from my collection. The tassel is lovely to look at, to touch all the different textures and to hear it jingle between your fingers - yes, there is a little jingle bell attached to every one of them.

Veseli December

November je mimo (prvi sneg, moj rojstni dan, mačka Luna s satelitskim krožnikom okrog vratu - čas je bil za sterilizacijo, negovanje prehlajenih članov družine...), zdaj je čas za bolj prazničen december, odpiranje predalčkov v adventnem koledarju, izdelovanje božičnih okraskov z otroki, šivanje še zadnje torbice po naročilu za letos in tudi nekaj novega se je znašlo v trgovini - pisani trakasti obeski za ključe. 

October news

So much to tell, so little time! Between sewing, taking pictures and editing them there is hardly enought time left to blog about it...

The nature is changing into red, orange and yellow and such is the latest messenger bag in my shop - I added a large dragonfly metallic charm in front and the soft adjustable strap in chocolate brown was chosen over the yellow one thanks to the input from my Facebook followers :-)

The second purse is a Pippa handbag, elegant and petite bag for special occasions - I chose dove grey and dark brown upholstery fabrics with beautiful structure, silver thread for embroidery and some purple and olive green ribbons to add a bit of colour. Handmade kanzashi flower brooch is detachable and can be worn on a bag or on your top to coplete the look.

A new home, anyone? Here are the latest house brooches, don't forget the Christmas tree...

Oktobrske novičke

Ko si utrgam čas za šivanje, fotografiranje izdelkov in friziranje fotk v računalniku, komaj ostane kaj časa še za blog! Tukaj je nekaj novosti, dodanih v zadnjih tednih: nova jesenska torba s kačjim pastirjem, elegantna torbica v umirjenih, zimskih tonih s snemljivo broško ter tri hiške broške, ki se že veselijo Dedka Mraza... Po novem lahko v moji trgovini plačujete direktno s kartico, tudi če nimate računa PayPal, zraven pa lahko zahtevate pošiljko s sledenjem in zavarovanjem.

Autumn

I love autumn, the smell of wet leaves, the soft morning mist that promises another sunny day, chestnuts, grapes, apples,.. inspirations are endless.

I have added some autumn zippered pouches in my shop recently, together with some house brooches - I think my shop will need more of both to be ready for the big holiday season...

Obožujem jesen, vonj mokrih listov, nežne jutranje meglice, ki obljubljajo še en sončen dan, kostanj, grozdje in jabolka,... neskončno navdihujoče!
V trgovino sem dodala nekaj novih puščic na zadrgo in majhne hiške broške - obojih bom morala zašiti še precej, da napolnim trgovino pred božično sezono...

August news

August has been a slow month on Etsy and also in my studio since I have both children at home which means more play and less work... But I did manage to add four new messenger bags to my shop these past days - they are all made from gorgeous upholstery fabrics in vibrant autumn colours of olive green, deep purple, red and burnt orange.

All the bags have adjustable straps made from butter soft nylon webbing - I am so delighted with their rich colours and elegant texture that I immediately ordered more so you will be seeing these shoulder straps on all my cross body bags.

And I felt like making a few new house brooches as well, they always cheer me up! I will be adding zipper pouches next, getting ready for back-to-school, so stay tuned!

Avgustovske novičke

Augusta je na Etsyju zatišje in tudi v mojem studiu je bolj mirno, ker imam oba otroka doma, zato se čez dan bolj igramo in manj delamo... Sem pa vseeno uspela v trgovino dodati štiri nove torbe za čez ramo, vse v bogatih jesenskih odtenkih in z nastavljivimi naramnicami iz mehkega najlonskega traku, ki se krasno nosi in barvno tako lepo dopolni torbico, da sem ga takoj naročila še v drugih barvah in ga boste zdaj videvale na vseh mojih torbicah za čez ramo. 

Zašila sem še nekaj novih hišk brošk, naslenje pa so na vrsti puščice in etuiji na zadrgo - kmalu bo šola!
