Last day of the winter holiday

I would like to present our latest family member. It is a 6 months old puppy, Vackor. 

My eldest son found him in August 2015. 

He was so scared to be alone, he used to grab our hands with his teeth and never let go.

He is such a goof now !

 I would like to sew more this year than in 2015. Maybe not every day and just small stuff, like this table runner I managed to make from beginning to end in just one day (jan.8). It is for my sister, she likes orange.

...and in detail:

Take care and have a nice week-end!

Charity sale

Hi, there.

Back in December we had a small charity sale with objects made by the pupils and their teachers. The money was donated to help children who need surgery in foreign states. My heart goes with those children and with their parents, too. No child should suffer.

The Santa wishing well cards are made by my husband. He is part of the "Petals in the wind" charity project, like me and my school.

These are bookmarks made by the 9th graders.

The origami trees are also my husband's work.

Above it is the project label, "Petals in the wind".

Crocheted rugs, made by the 9th and the 10th graders.

Tree ornaments.

These kitted and crocheted animals were bought almost all of them. 

More ornaments.

And yes, these are my mobile covers. They didn't last long. In fact, they disappeared within ten minutes after the opening of the sale.

Sorry for the low image quality. These are carolers from another school, with their music teacher.

And finally, a better look on my mobile phone covers. Click on the image to see them bigger. 

Have a nice day!

Hi there.

Continuing to remember 2015.

I made this jewels holder for my sister, back in August, for her birthday.

 And the key holder is also for her. She wanted an owl. She got one.

These mobile holders were made for a charity event, in December. I must say, after ten minutes they were all sold.

But enough! 

This is my cat, Kira, today, wishing me a happy new year ... in his own way.

And last, but not least, this is my very first quilt made this year, from start to finish. I made it for my aunt, for her birthday, in January 1st. She was delighted.

 

Have a nice day!

 I discovered Zentangles and Doodles and I enjoyed drawing these little ones. They illustrate my husband's book of (science) fiction short stories.

 

 I made this small quilt for a niece, Dalia.

 This is my summer - tote. It was so fun to make!

This one is for a friend, I hope she liked it.

This is my younger boy, Greg, and our He-cat, Kira. Friends for life, those two.

Kira, on a lap quilt. I didn't finish it, it needs binding. Maybe this year...

These key-chains are for two sisters, Emi and Corinna.

 Sadly, we had to say goodbye to Mustard, one of my mother's cats. He was killed by a car.

These two are Monster (the cat) and Puki (the dog). They passed over too, this year. Puki (aged 14) died of cancer and Monster (aged 4) disappeared and never came back. My mother still waits for him.

We rescued these two bandits from under a train, literally. They are Panda and Blanca.

 Look, how small they were!

Tomorrow I will post some of my sewings from 2015.
