I found this company and felt in love with their products. Thinking of ordering some for the shop. What do you think?

New camera needed. Badly.

I have changed my window display yesterday and wanted to take some photos of it when I realised that my camera went on a strike. All photos are blurred so badly I can´t even see what is on them :(  I need a new camera. Will have my nameday soon so you are very welcome to get me a nice camera for a present!

In that case I´ll share some pictures of Isak as we had a delivery yesterday. 

I just wanted to apologise all my Slovak readers for writing in english only but my written slovak is still really bad.. I am learning though and hopefully will improve soon :)

Have a nice day

The newest adventure

I´ve just realised that my last post was in January!... And to be frank I have not been here since. I´m ashamed.


But I have an excuse. Few to be precise.

1. I left the UK and now I live with Mr Boyfriend in Slovakia.
2. I´d gone back to work full time in order to save money so that we could move.
3. My sister has a new family member so obviously I had to spend lot of time with them.
4. I decided to open a shop and there was a huge amount of preparation before that.
5. I opened a shop (together with Mr Boyfriend)
6. I am living my dream :)

So, although I know I said it before several times, I´m back. 

I am working on a website and a internet shop, and will definitelly change the blog design. For now I´m trying to figure out how to do it though so it might take a little while.

Here are some photos of my sweet little shop. They were taken just before we opened last week so they are not perfect. Hope you like them anyway :)

Busy December

I've been working hard for last couple of weeks and I really can't see the results.. I've been making doorstops, cushions, Christmas decorations, cakes (yummy yummy cakes!), doing lots of cleaning and somehow everything looks the same. I can't believe it's nearly Christmas and I still haven't managed to do half of the things I need to do. 

The Cookie Day was a disaster, no-one turned up as everyone was busy. I have to admit, I was very disappointed. And sad. But my lovely boyfriend and our house-mate made the weekend absolutely fantastic! 

The things I did on the weekend (I just realised it's already thursday!! When? How?!):

1. Baked some cupcakes. Dead easy, dead delicious!
2. Put a Christmas tree up and half dressed it.
3. Did mulled wine. Then drunk it.
4. Did a little party.
5. Watched the best movie ever made (I mean the best!) called "Baraka". 
6. Thought a lot.
7. Went out to my favourite local pub and drunk the best beer - Hobgoblin.
8. Was visited by my sister and the cutest baby boy (I soooo love him!)
9. Finished making doorstops.
10. Sold all doorstops.
11. Drunk some more wine.
12. Drunk some more beer.
13. Chatted, chatted, chatted...

Here are the cupcakes. Just to make you want them ;)

I made lots of angels. Will put pictures soon!

Christmas Cards

I finished making the Christmas cards. They are completely different to what I had in mind, but at least they are still simple. Made 40 for now, but thinking of making more as already sold half of it and need to take some to one shop plus need some for the Cookie Day as well.

  

 

  

And that's where it all happened. I guessed I can't really work in a clean place..

Ok, going back to work. And it sucks as my friends are sitting in the kitchen having a little party.. And it's super cool outside with lots of snow.. I'd better get back before I start crying...

Kat

PS. For a first time since I moved to the house I can hear children playing and laughing outside. I really like it :)

PS2. By the way, the cards are much more colourful in reality than on the photos. I definitely need a new camera. Anyone wants to get me one for Christmas?

Lazy Weekend

I had a very lazy, relaxing Sunday. And I well deserved it. I cleaned up the working space yesterday and although it looks nothing like I wanted, it's clean and organised. And I have no troubles finding stuff any more. 

It looks like that now:

I even sorted out my threads and put a board up. It took me more than a day to do everything, didn't realise I had so much rubbish here!

I found my old sketch book. I forgot how much I enjoy drawing. And I also found some dried orange slices from last Christmas projects, so did an orange and cinnamon stick decoration. Smells really nice.

Ok, it's time for bed now. It's going to be a very, very long day tomorrow. And to be quite honest I can't wait. Really like my "new" workplace :)
