This project had its beginning because of a few left-over granny squares. When I saw them I immediately thought about making granny squares hat for my daughter; I came across one somewhere on Pinterest and it stuck in my head since. So, as soon as I dug out those left-over squares from a box with... Continue Reading →
Photo Art Friday: Self-portrait
Well, I feel a little bit challenged. This week's theme for Photo Art Friday is: "self-portrait" I bet, many of you expect of me something great here, but I have been feeling a little (or a lot) under the weather lately, and all my plans for some real self-portraits photo session that I had in...

365 Self-Portrait Project (week 47th)
The very great news is that this week I lost my laptop, all together with all the self-portraits I had, and many more pictures. All my textures from Kim Klassen, Bonnie, and from different websites. Many great crochet patterns that I had saved as PDF's... Everything thanks to No.1 - it appeared my computer did... Continue Reading →
365 Self-Portrait Project (week 41st)
As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I try to publish one or two posts in between each Friday, so there aren't only self-portraits here. Not everything always work out the way we want it... huh? This week just flew by. I wasn't very busy, though. Or... maybe I was... Having two kids... Continue Reading →
365 Self-Portrait Project (week 34th)
This week was one of those that passed by like an express train. I haven't done much. Haven't baked or cook much. Haven not read much. Haven't touched the sewing machine... and you know what? I felt exhausted. Each day felt like I'm running on fumes. 365/233 On Saturday I did some laundry. These days... Continue Reading →
Enjoying our time before the big change
This is definitely my last post before the second baby arrival and probably my last post for a while. This past weekend we enjoyed great weather and even with me feeling uncomfortable and tired we had spent some time playing together outdoors. Saturday we spent our afternoon in the nearby park: On Sunday we went...

Metal cans and plastic bags don’t have to end up in trash
I've been working on this one project for sometime now. I would've done it weeks ago but I lost my interest in crocheting for a while and in addition my scissors are so dull it's really hard to use them so, many times I just would lose my patience and stop working. I need to... Continue Reading →
Getting ready for cold days
After my kind of long break I'm back to a blogosphere. That break was really really needed. It's Fall already. Where did that time go?! Geeze. It flies so fast. It's getting cold here in Cali and we are getting ready for those cold days 🙂 btw, while making those I learned the difference... Continue Reading →
Crochet bathroom rug
I am really bored, you may think, but actually I am totally in love in crochet. I just want to sit and crochet and crochet and crochet 🙂 First day I've decided to make that rug we went to a Michaels and I bought just 2 balls of yarn. One black and one blue. After... Continue Reading →
Crocheting with plastic bags
Yep, it's exactly what you see! Yarn made from plastic bags. How I made it?! Easy! It's funny because every time we went shopping we would take paper bags. Now I don't bother to ask them for papers because I don't mind (and I actually want) plastic bags. They are so cool for crochet projects.... Continue Reading →
