stunt motorcyclists

We were at Truck Show in Tallinn this weekend. We have seen artistically designed and tuned heavy-duty vehicles and vans. The day had rich program and was packed full of action and entertaiment. Some photos of the day: 

We were excited of show with extreme stunt motorcyclists.

The strongmen lifted weights, the children watched the puppet theater, and in the evening was fireworks. The exhibition of vehicles and show was really cool!

sunny cat

There are most people, who have a dog or a cat, or the both - I think. In our family we have a black cat. She is fluffy, curious, likes simple things like boxes and paper bags, likes to play with paper pieces and her purrs calm us down. 

But today I show a sunny cat, that was knitted with a leftover yarn - it is a toy for my little son.  

The pattern is written by Linda Dawkins and available on Ravelry.

budding shawlettes

Here is a lovely triangular  shawlette knitted of 100% wool yarn. It is so lacy and soft. The size is 85 x 200 cm.

Another one shawl is knitted using 100% coton yarn, I used the same pattern, because it is easy to follow and fast to knit.

The pattern I've found on Ravelry, written by Joyce Yu - Budding Shawlette.

The shawl is really huge! The size is 150 x 300 cm! The shawl is very soft, warm and cozy to use in the autumn and winter time.

i wish i could draw

I'm trying to draw again. The result is not important, the object is not important, the process is important. I like to feel the facets of pencil and roughness of paper, to choose the colors and apply them on a paper. It is the same as meditation. 

Have a great summer!

Mr. Frog

Let me introduce Mr. Frog. He is so serious, because he is elderly and does so important job. He safely store my coins. 

bullet journal

I've found a very simple planning method with Bullet Journal. It seems a really easy and successful. 

All you need the notebook and pen. Just write tasks, events and notes; make collections and shopping lists; plan a vacation etc. Then strike out the completed points. It is easy to follow and move the undone points from one day to another day inside the journal, and identify what’s important and weed out the things that aren’t. And that's it all, just day-by-day.

I will try this planning method and hope to get rid of hundreds of Post-Its on my desk.
