stripey finished

Yep! Finished. The idea came from one of the kaffe fasset’s books – a little all-blue quilt made of shirting fabrics. I did not have as many blue striped fabrics, but I had plenty of striped fabrics in variety of colors.

This one took longer than I expected. First of all – it took longer to [...]

krtek (the little mole) brings back memories

I was reading some blogs today, when I came upon a picture of a cartoon character from a long ago. I basically forgot about it. Krtek (in czeck) or the Little Mole, created by Czeck animator Zdeněk Miler. This is just one of many you can see on YouTube:

When we were kids in Croatia (then [...]

I have to wake up earlier…
Is that snow in the first picture? It sure looked and felt like it…

For this one I had no design in [...]
