joy joy placemat

Hi friends! I hope you are fine.
I am doing great and have stopped by for a while to show you a few things that have been making me very happy recently…
Like, I fell head over heals in love with the crochet pattern shown in the picture above. I think it is addictive.

And I have material to prove that… 🙂
I have made a placemat and some coasters too.

Psst, there’s a pattern for these coming soon!

crochet basket full of yarn

Some really delicious new yarn has filled my basket recently.
Ahhh, how I love new yarn.
This actually leads me to an idea that I need to crochet a few more baskets like this one, just to be able to store more yarn for crocheting… the sweetest vicious circle I know. 🙂

book about healing plants and blue handmade mug

These two precious things have been filling my heart with joy as well – an interesting and beautiful book about herbs and healing plants. Love!

And this amazing handmade buddy.
Isn’t it just sweet?

I went button-hunting. This is my loot.

Oh, and the pattern I have shown you in the beginning? I made some bracelets too! Have I already mentioned that it might be addictive? 🙂
Wishing you a nice rest of the week!
Love,
Petra

bobbin lace making

Art and crafts have always been a great love of mine.
A few days ago, I was very lucky to visit a fair dedicated to the traditional folk art and crafts of my native country – Slovakia.
The whole experience was just magical. That is probably the best word I can use to describe the feelings I had when I was watching a selection of very old crafts being demonstrated by the most skillful craftsmen right there in front of my eyes. They are the crafts that helped my ancestors live better and nicer lives. And the best thing is that those traditions are still alive.
I am very thankful to the kind people who came to demonstrate their skills in front of curious people like me and I am also thankful to the people who want to keep the old traditions alive and organize this great festival. It was an amazing, sentimental and important touch with the wisdom of the past. Just have look…
