Computer love

My notebook crashed, such a nice time I am having now. I read for example, sit and stare, it is good to do, too. Well, right now I am sitting at my husbands computer. Luckily, for my free time outside of computer, he sits here a lot. On the other hand, I had to redo a work I had started before the big crash. How many of us has to face up the fact that everything is lost suddenly, out of nothing, without being backed up and with no hope to be retrieved back? I lost images of Domik that is the only thing I care for. My article from my doctorate work has been sent on its journey to Germany just a day before, other than that I haven't done anything new on it, am I not lucky after all?

Artist in his Studio

Painting blue, Prague is blue, sky is blue and the photos had blue cast. He was painting, showing his best pieces and giving tour round his exhibition. Hanging up pieces was very challenging for the little guy. "Paint more!"

The Sun light was too bright yesterday, hurting in eyes, freezing and warm, perfect for touristy photography. I had some errands close by so I couldn't miss a morning walk in these places where a local scarcely comes. Welcome to Prague, most of us live on the horizon.

Report on Domík's Third Birthday

The Ping-Pong lover could finally fulfill his dream. To play. The picture lies a bit, he is not as good as it seems. The dinky and kind of cheap looking cake was actually pretty good. Chocolate. I have to admit I copied the style little.

Things for little Domík

1. Sweater. I wish I had knit it. I actually wish I had designed the pattern. Now the challenge would be to knit it, a larger version. Bought on discount ridiculously cheap.

2. Now I have my own Japanese pattern book. I don't understand anything, of course, but I vaguely remember about the title to say something about New York. That is all I need to know.
There is lot of girlish stuff, so I have to leave that out but I especially dig the suit jacket for a little boy. It is kind of conservative look for kids, but I don't know why, they look cute in it. Definitely cuter than in a teenage like clothes with characters from animated TV series that he even doesn't know. Well, some of them. There is something romantic in a suit jacket. And something naughty in teenage like T-shirts. Will he wear the jacket once I finish it?

Three Fairies

There was a theatre play for children in Prague called something like Big Adventure of two Gnomes. Their journey through a forest has been paved with mushrooms of all kinds, the stage designer really liked making them. So, they inspired me to work out her mushrooms even further. The cap is made of foam rubber and leather, the leg from wood. Cutting in foam rubber is fun but it took me a while to figure out a good shape and improve the technique. The material also needed to age so that it would become natural yellow.

These mushrooms served me well this Christmas as palm trees in our Nativity scene.

Find them on Etsy.

Collection 2010

Very limited one.
Pattern on the bag: it is all krtek's (little moule's) fault and instant watching it on youtube, although unwanted. But there are some really nice backgrounds painted and at one point a factory appears, all colorful and decorative. So this is where the wheel and sort of cubes come from.
Birds: Everybody likes them.
It is all on Etsy.

Mushrooms are part of the collection but wait till tomorrow, I will have better pictures.
