el rubio de Estonia


We were traveled in Spain last year with my son. "El rubio! Muy bonito chico! Que hermoso!" - said spanish women*. And I was very pleased, as any mum, if you say that her child is so beautiful and cute. Now we always say "bonito rubio" when son is washed, coiffured and obedient his parents.

* The blond! Very nice boy! How beautiful!

recycled envelope journal

This journal was made to order. Used leftover fabric pieces. The cover keep closed with a thread that wraps around a stick shape button. 

The journal is thick and filled with different kinds of paper: color paper, craft paper, brown paper, blank and squared paper, paper that is stained with cofee... 

...and recycled envelopes. There are about 30 different envelopes. So it is possible to keep things inside there.

embroidered handmade journals


My sister Anna loves to sew and embroider. She design any kind machine embroideries. She always checks every design to be sure, that's good quality. One day she asked me, want I have these test-embroideries? Why not! My stepfather used embroideries in his journals. I think they look pretty :)


And here are some lovely designs by Anna:

I'm bored of the snow. It is everywhere - around my house, in a garden, on the roads, on the fields, in a forest, behind a river.. Needs sunshine, warm days and flowers.
