Back to Doha

Monday blog post #11

You know how people bring books or magazines with them when they travel by train? Not me :) I brought my sewing kit and fabrics I prepared for making brooches. It was the best way I spent my time traveling by train so far. I don't have a photo but trust me I looked weird :))))) Nowadays you can't even see an old women knitting and imagine me with the needle and everything in my lap. I almost finished all the brooches for my big order, my mom helped me a lot. She's the best!

I also made few custom ordered brooches and one owl phone case.

I came back to Doha on Saturday night. It's freezing here, only 18 degrees. We even need to use a little radiator to warm up our apartment.
Finally I have my camera so the next post will be with much nicer photos  I promise you :) 

Love and hugs

Have a lovely weekend

Monday blog post #8

It's almost Saturday and I didn't write my Monday blog post, I'm so so sorry.
I hope you were also busy and didn't noticed that I forgot to write it :)

I wish and hope you had a beautiful Christmas and that you celebrated it with people you love, like I did :)

Since I came to Croatia I'm meeting with friends and family and few days before Christmas me and my husband went to visit my family in Osijek (town where I grew up). Although is really difficult time for my mom, my sisters and me, since my father died early this year, we managed to celebrate Christmas with joy. I think that's only because we are blessed with my little nephew Filip who was born one month before my father died. He is our light and he makes us all so happy.

As you could read in my previous post, I forgot my camera in Doha so I'm taking photos with my phone and they are not that nice but I want to show you some photos of things I was working on while being in Croatia.
