Back to Doha

Monday blog post #41
Hello my friend!

After two months of Croatia I'm finally back to Doha, my home for two and a half years now.
Croatia  was beautiful, lovely and amazing. I was traveling a lot, visiting my mom, sisters, spending time on a beautiful Croatian coast... This summer was also a bit different, I was working on a lot of painting orders...

This past week I spent with my mom and sisters in Osijek and I've decided not to do any orders, to be able to spend my time only with them.

Now I'm back to my home in Doha and I'm already in my studio making to do list and working on some new ideas for my paintings. I have already applied for a table at a craft market at the Inspiration Station on 7th September and expecting invitations for new bazaars and fairs... I will keep you posted on my page Events or you can subscribe to my mailing list

Sending you my smile and love,
Dominika

Little bit of Croatia

Monday blog post #7

I'm in Croatia at the moment, arrived on Friday, flu for 7 hours from Doha via Budapest to Zagreb.
Came from 25C to 0C brrrrrr
It's not that bad for a change although I don't like cold weather. That was one of the reasons we moved to Qatar, there's always sunny and warm.
So what I've been doing last week?
Preparing for my trip to Croatia and also had one event on Wednesday 12th December - Holiday Welcome morning with people from Shell company. Event was hold in one beautiful villa, in the garden. It was really windy so I put my a little bit different display (we had to bring our own table) in a place where I thought my stuff won't be blown off.

On Tuesday I had a meeting with the owner of one beautiful little restaurant in Doha where they make the best cakes and got an order for making brooches for them. I'm really honored and happy they've chosen me.

Just before I left Doha I finished one custom ordered painting for a boy who likes tractors and he's from UK. That's going to be a Christmas present from his ount.

I also contacted 10 artists, whom I admire and love their work to make a card swap and I've already sent my cards to USA, Canada, Ukraine, UK and France. Can't wait to get their cards with their beautiful illustrations!

Since I came to Croatia people contacted me to buy some Christmas presents from me, so I'm still doing new brooches and few paintings. I have to stop saying yes to people and relax. Oh, I went for a massage today, that's good :) and planing to go there every day, they have special offer for about 40€ for 6 back and neck massages. In Doha I will pay that much for only one massage.

Soon, soon I will be visiting my mom and younger sister and her husband and the most important my little nephew who will be 1 year old on 31th December. I have beautiful Christmas present for him!!!!

I forgot to bring my camera to Croatia and won' be able to take photos otherwise then with my phone :(((( hope you won't mind.

Love and hugs
