Walk in the woods

 Autumn is hear. Slowly the colours are changing. I love to observe how my favorite trees prepare for winter. It's an amazing process, and it repeats year after year but never gets boring.

Those tiny moss mini worlds! When I was a child I believed that if I look really close I'll see tiny people living there.

What are you looking at Mr Fox?

Cycling in Glasgow and surroundings

Tweet

This weekend was an adventure weekend! I was exploring some places in the city on my new bike. I rode along peaceful canals, lush green parks and nature reserves, discovering small lakes and loving every second of this. I don't know why I haven't bought a bike earlier?! So much fun! And a serious exercise! When you make your exercise fun, you take care of motivation!

We went to Balmaha on Sunday. It's a town on the sore of Loch Lomond. R swam with the rest of his swimmers friends in the lake and I cycled the hilly road up to Rowardennan. When I got there, I took off my shoes and enjoyed the sun, lake, beautiful day, life... Awesome day.

I have some new dolls and bears in the shop. And a few still waiting to be added.

Mr Fox decided that he will make his scarf himself! I didn't know he can knit...

Summer fruits and new dolls

Tweet

Not a view you want to see in the middle of July... But this is Scotland.

At least I've got summer on my plate! It's time to feast upon summer fruit! Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries in the morning. Figs, peaches and cherries for lunch. Then you're ready for mango. Finally, we've found out where to get super good mangoes in Glasgow. The Blochairn fruit market is the place to go. 

I'm working on different style dolls. Smaller, with big embroidered anime eyes. It's 17cm (6.5") tall. Definitely more of those are coming. 

This sweet little bear is another new addition to my Etsy shop

Rag Dolls

Rag dolls.
I've been really enjoying making rag dolls recently. Making their clothes, tiny skirts and dresses and knitting chunky cowls. I use recycled fabrics and yarn trying to make them as Earth friendly as possible.

Spring and a new owl brooch

Tweet

Oh Spring! How beautiful your expressions are! 

I feel like I'm getting back to life after the winter. What a difference can a few degrees and some sunshine make. Running in the park is so much nicer and I do it every day lately! Spending time outside plus a bonus chance to find and bring home a perfect prop for my new Owl Brooch photos :)

It was a beautiful day in Luss. First truly warm spring day. I've met some amazing, very talented people, learnt a lot and enjoyed every moment!  

There was also battle reenactment. I wish I took more pictures

Felt Easter bunnies. I could sit and make them all day :)

This Easter I'm doing craft fair in Luss. They've placed my fox, bear and a cat on the banner!
