New beginning

Happy New year to all my dear friends - I hope you have recharged your batteries over the holidays and are ready to face new challenges!

I am late with my first blog post of 2013, holidays were very busy, visiting family in Slovenia and, after coming back home, looking for our dear cat who went missing during our absence :-(
I only hope Tigrou will eventually find his way home (luckily he has a tattooed number in his ear) after perhaps spending "holidays" at some local cat lover who feeds strays...

Loddelina shop has reopened and I am offering my sets of little house ornaments at a sale price - see the shop for details. January will be spent reviewing my supplies, sourcing some fresh fabrics for spring projects and getting back to work - there will be new items in my shop soon!

Nov začetek

Srečno novo leto vsem mojim prijateljicam - upam, da ste si napolnile baterije in ste pripravljene na nove izzive!
S prvim zapisom v letu 2013 malce zamujam, saj so bile počitnice precej pestre, za povrh pa se nam je med našo odsotnostjo izgubil še muc, ki so ga čuvali sosedje. Upam, da se bo kmalu vrnil (k sreči je tetoviran) in da se je le začasno zatekel h kakšnemu prijaznemu skrbniku potepuških mačk...

Loddelinina trgovina je spet odprta, z novo, znižano ceno za male hiške okraske, januar pa bo v glavnem čas za pregled zalog blaga in drugih potrebščin, za nakup novih, spomladansko svežih tekstilij in za vrnitev k šivalnemu stroju - kmalu na svidenje!

Week in pictures

Taken from my Instagram album:
Another week deeper into winter and the streets of Pontarlier are putting on their Christmas decoration. Somebody in our house doesn't seem to be impressed by approaching holidays - Tigrou enjoys quiet time when children are at school...
Sunsets are particularly picturesque this time of year and there are some lovely winter flowers and branches growing near our house, perfect for a bouquet.

And tonight I listed four new items in my shop: three sets of Christmas ornaments and a new zippered pouch. You are welcome to take a closer look!

Teden v slikah
iz mojega Instagram albuma: mesto Pontarlier se odeva v božično okrasje, maček Tigr se za to ne zmeni in uživa v dopoldanski tišini, ko sta otroka v šoli. V tem času so sončni zahodi še posebej slikoviti in okoli hiše najdem lep pušeljc suhih vej za v vazo!
In v moji trgovini so štirje novi izdelki, trije kompletki hišk okraskov in ena nova puščica na zadrgo. Vabljeni na ogled!

Shop news

Hello,
it is nice to see you again, I am back from my autumn break with two new items in my shop, another set of Christmas tree ornaments and a flat zippered pouch with branch embroidery and a little hungry bird.
Our cat is especially concerned about birds (he keeps staring at them through the window...)
so don't forget to buy some bird seeds before the real winter cold comes and have a great start of the new week!

Živjo,

lepo vas je spet videti, sem že nazaj z jesenskih počitnic in v trgovini sta dva nova izdelka, set božičnih obeskov in puščica na zadrgo z vezenino lačnega ptička. Našega mačka še posebej skrbi za ptice, ki jih ostro opazuje skozi okno, zato ne pozabite kupiti ptičje piče preden pride pravi zimski mraz in imejte lep začetek novega tedna!

Christmas tree ornaments

I love my little house brooches and have a lot of fun making them, picking little fabric leftovers and matching them with tiny pieces of wool felt. The truth is they don't sell as much as they seem to be popular by Etsy treasury makers, but I don't give up :)

This holiday season I decided to try out another tiny house design, a set of three house ornaments, embroidered with holiday message of love, hope and peace. Ornaments hang from a long organza ribbon and are ready to attach to a tree or any other place in your home.

So far I have listed two sets of ornaments in my shop, there are more in the making, so stay tuned...

Okraski za božično jelko

Rada imam moje male hiške broške in uživam, ko zanje izbiram ostanke blaga in koščke volnene polsti. Sicer se še daleč ne prodajajo tako množično, kot jih sestavljalke zakladnic na Etsyju uvrščajo v svoje zbirke, a jaz se ne dam :)

To predbožično sezono sem se odločila preizkusiti nov izdelek, set treh majhnih hišk z izvezenim sporočilom ljubezni, upanja in miru. Hiške okraski visijo na dolgem traku iz organce in zo pripravljene za obešanje na jelko ali kamorkoli drugam v vašem domu.

Zaenkrat sem v trgovino dodala dva seta obeskov, a v delu jih imam še nekaj...
