Christmas Workshop

I know that it seems we start preparing every year so early for the season. It might be excuse but this is the most exciting time for us crafters in the year. I guess I dare to say that in any other crafters name. Preparing gets really intense especially in the last days before Christmas it might be a bit hectic still I just love that atmosphere, anticipation, even if it is a race against the clock for weeks. Well, this is what is happening to me at the moment. I would like to make so many things for the shop and take care of all the  requests, and to have my Christmas shop always filled so you can choose what you like most. I try to get all my strength to fulfill everything but I am also a human and get tired . I  hate to admit but if I keep pushing when I am knackered I make mistakes and I hate making mistakes and mostly end up starting over again until I don't get it right, perfect. As all I make is from the heart and I love to imagine who will receive it and want to make it perfect for them. This is what makes me happy.

I am so extremely thankful  towards all of you who purchased some things from my little shop supporting me and allowing me to do what I love most, making things for you. I will be very busy in the next weeks certainly, but try to answer every email I get for orders.

I'd like to introduce you my Christmas workshop which is in full speed at the moment producing angels, Santas, Christmas mice, and many more. Hope they will find a new home. Come and have a look around!!!!!!

Princess and the Pea Pillowcase for Girls

The most popular post on my blog is the Princess and the Pea Tutorial. I thought I will combine this Idea with something new and made a pillowcase. This pretty pillow cover is a perfect gift for a girl. A unique and hand sewn with a perfect finish and very sweet. It took me 2 weeks until I have finished all the experimenting with the fabrics and embroidery and to draw the perfect size patterns.

Made with love from new Tilda and Moda fabrics, stuffed with non-allergenic cotton fiber. Opens with a zip and fully lined on the inside.The doll perfectly fits into the bed.

It is a lovely decoration for bedrooms or any place in your home. It is also makes a nice gift or a stocking filler for Christmas. Available form my shop in Etsy.

Tilda Fall/Winter Collection 2013 VINTERGLEDER

Hello everyone, it's really a long time that I did not write anything on the blog, and I'm really very sorry. But I was not feeling really well in the last months and definitely not up to doing any projects I would post on the blog. I often feel too tired  to work on sewing projects, not to mention taking  pictures and post ... really  impossible!

I am planing to come back gradually in the second half of September, when I hope to be able to dedicate myself to this activity again, and getting enough strength to post as much as I can.

Until then I would like to leave you with a preview of the new Tilda book for Christmas Tilda Vintergleder! This years collection consists of two themes "The corner Shop" and "Sweet Christmas".

With lovely projects to make like fury polar bears and dolls in warm and cozy jumpers.

Calendar Week 25

Such a hot week all shades down I just felt like crying in front of the air con. I hate summer with all ist heat and bugs and other shenanigans.I was sick and due to this I was at home in bed and that is how I got through a week with temperature up to  37 C. I did my best on my crocheted blanket. I wanted to use up some of my leftover yarn from Barka and just went on and on until it formed a lovely shape and I cannot stop now or so I thought until the eczema did not flame up on my hands severely so I had to abandon crochet in the middle of the week. (Just to let you know Barka Is a lovely yarn shop in Budapest inner city very close to the Central Market).
As I had to stay in bed for some time more so I  have been spending some time with extending my Miss Marple knowledge leaving only a few episodes to watch.Batty? Maybe but I did not care less.
The garden had suffered a lot too. A. have been watering it a  lot but some things did dry up in the day.The tomatoes and zucchini turned out just right cannot wait for them to ripe. It is the first time for us to have a garden and we learn a lot about the soil and plants.We have a sandy soil or shall I say the soil is made of sand only.Some things just love it and some just hate it but I cannot complaint as we mostly got it right.I still love the flowers  and keep trimming them for the inside vases daily.So calming when the scent of sweet peas fill the room.
I have been trying to focus on healthy eats  this week. I have been having a lot of protein and instead of taking heaps of medicines I have been sampling some of the best honeys I have ever had.I have found a lovely variety of a wild honey that is misted with propolis and pollen.It really helped me a lot with my infection to get better.
Next week I will be back to work and I am so not looking forward to it……..

Calendar Week 24 and a Half

I know I have changed my posting to a weekly basis but I just had to share these. I have been spending some time in the early mornings in the inner city of Budapest. I take this time to have big walks around the Grand Market area. Patched with narrow streets and old houses, there is a cafe or a boutique on every corner. Lovely to walk around and take the scenes in. The streets are filled with dog lovers walking their pets who would catch up on daily news with sniffs and small barks.They know each other oh so well.The air is filled with the scent of esspressoes milk and pastries.Butiques still closed but even the window displays are worth stopping by. My favorite is Rózsavölgyi Chocolate.They offer cocoabeans, bergamot rinds in chocolate, hot chocolate with lavender and hot paprika, hazelnut gianduja spread for breakfast breads. All too too lovely to miss if you would have a chance to try. Their designs for wraps are also a feast for the eye.

The central marked is buzzing with people looking for the best fruit and vegetables and meat for cooking. In the early hours no tourists are there only the house goddess wannabe early birds hunting for the finest ingeredinets.Old ladies and B2 and B5 women the last in designer attire best to catch up on the latest bag and shoe  fashion. This is the best place to get chocolate swirls and coffee to go at one of the stalls sit by the side of the Danube and see the city wake up.
