My Story

I used to believe the company and civil law is the essence of my life, until I discovered the passion for creativity. One day I just realized that the only thing which makes me really, really happy is crafting. I knew that long time before I got my first sewing machine (Nov 2012), I just didn’t say that out loud to myself.

Extreme knitting

I don't remember actually how it started, I think it was some design magazine that showed me a photo of an extreme knitted white blanket. And I desired to make such cozy and stunning things. I've started with looking up for this big loop yarn and adequate needles and I've found many people doing these things and selling all necessary stuff. My first inspiration was Jacqueline Fink from Little Dandelion who makes such a wonderful blankets and throws. I asked my dearest hubby - Santa Claus to bring me those huge needles and at least a sample of the big yarn so that I could check whether it is a story for me. My beloved Santa, supported by the TJOCKT company from Finland brought me that fantastic present I wished!

Butterfly baby blanket

In spite of ubiquitous minky fabric, especially those minky cuddle dimple dot fabrics which are used now for every kind of baby blankets in Poland (I've also used it in one of my projects, see here), as the spring came here, I have made a butterfly baby blanket for my little daughter. I made it of microfiber fabric, similar in touch with minky, but totally different in look.

No matter how minky blankets are beautiful, my daughter deserves something more original. I was looking for an inspiration for a long time and, as usual, it occured, that everything is within reach, you just need to take it and put the puzzle together. Enough talking, time for the show :-)

Patchwork Throw Blue - Beige

I've made a promise, that as soon as there will be time for it - I will make some photos of my first patchwork throw, and here it is!

First steps in patchwork technique

After a long break it is high time to get back and catch up on my Blog adventure. There is lot of work to do, meaning lot of done projects to be shown to you, my dearest readers.

Today I will show you the effects of my first steps in patchwork - as I did really some nice throws in this technique. Unfortunately, I don't have much photos of it, not even much of time when I was doing them, collecting fabrics, cutting, sewing, etc. So here are only the results of my work. Could you imagine I did all of this with my simple 888 Arka Radom sewing machine? ;-)
