Ready for Easter

I am trying to get into a spring mood inspite of constant snow showers we've been having (at least the weather keeps my snow shoveling muscles nicely toned).

Spring might be far away but the first buds are starting to show - tulips already left for a new home but the water lily shoulder bag is still available in my Etsy shop.

These three bunny plushies were made as a gift for three siblings who don't care much for cats, my usual stuffed animal of choice. So I redesigned my kitten plushie a bit and, what do you know, it's Easter!

Shop news

We have been enjoying beautiful golden days of autumn with temperatures as high as 18C - two week school holidays are coming to an end and last weekend was spent with our friends in Augsburg, Germany, where we have once lived. We took this opportunity to visit the nearby Legoland and a backdrop of autumn leaves made the park even more special.

Now I am back at my studio, photographing and listing the items I have made recently; some house brooches, a wristlet and a couple of zipper pouches. Two of the brooches got snapped up as soon as I listed them, holiday shopping has begun :-)

Zadnji oktobrski dnevi so res čudoviti, čez dan je toplo tudi do 18 stopinj in ravnokar končujemo dvotedenske jesenske počitnice - prejšnji vikend smo bili na obisku pri prijateljih v Augsburgu, kjer smo nekoč živeli in seveda ni šlo brez skoka v bližnji Legoland, ki je v jesenskem listju še posebej veličasten. Zdaj sem nazaj in fotografiram ter v trgovino dodajam izdelke, ki sem jih sešila v zadnjih dneh - dve hiški broški sta že prodani, hura za bližajoče se praznike :-)

October

I love autumn, so much inspiration in leaves turning gold, chestnuts on the ground, red berries on bare branches... I've recently added a few new coin purses to the shop and I want to make more autumn inspired items before Christmas takes over. Happy Autumn!

Živela jesen!

Back to school

Summer holidays are almost over, September is coming closer and Loddelina shop has reopened - with brand new pencil cases to start the new school year with.

They are one of a kind purses with handmade applique and freefoot embroidery, inspired by endless rows of trees by the north Italian highway on our way from France to Slovenia. The purses are 22 cm (8.5") long, 8 cm (3") tall and roomy enough to hold all your writing instruments. You can also use them as cosmetic pouches or small bridesmaid's clutches!

Počitnice so skoraj pri koncu in septembra se začne novo šolsko leto, čas za novo peresnico! Peresnice so ročno povezene z motivi, ki so jih navdihnile neskončne ravne vrste dreves ob severno italijanski avtocesti na poti iz Francije v Slovenijo. Puščice so dolge 22 in visoke 8 cm, dovolj prostorne za pisala,  make up ali kot priročna večerna torbica.
