A post to make up for the things I have posted in Bulgarian only in the last couple of weeks. And mainly explanation of the pictures posted along with Bulgarian text previously. As weather got cooler, I started baking again. I missed this during the hot, hot summer weeks... Making bread is a colder part of the year ritual here. It feels the air with the most comforting domesticity spirit you can get. Especially for some flour and baking... I usually rotate 3 main recipes but the cold weather made me stick to the cheese and oil one mostly. Delicious! I also played with binding - lovely experience and great time spent among the colourful scraps and FQ piles... Sewing for Christmas - potholders, bread baskets and such... I made some other little projects in the meantime. December was a really busy month and I had some things to deal with, so making a full-size quilt did not happen this month. I took part in a charity event - making a quilt to be sold at a market. And was left with a test star in a difficult, old-fashioned style. It became a little table topper. Waiting for binding now. And it was planned to be a pillow... Well, as usually patches and tops have a live of their own and opinion what to be made out of them too. LOL Regarding the process, one had an opinion of its own on quilting too. It did insist to be quilted in the cabbage style. I know it is called feathers, but believe me it feels like cabbage. And I know its due to my lack of serious feathers experience lately... I was about to choose a modern style quilting, but feathers happened... Happy I did not allow it to become an UFO. Found a couple of UFOs this week and decided to make them quilts in January. First New Year resolutions this December!

Here is the original second batch for 2010 - semi-Christmas, semi-neon. Love the traditional-contemporary mix in them - linen and neons. Batch number one is all gone, so here is the second one. It also comes in appliqued, embroidered, drawn form. However I think this no accents version is my absolute fave so far. Nothing to remove, nothing in excess - so really close to perfection. The appliqued, etc. versions have no decent pictures yet. Coming soon here... Having promised to write about process - this is a fave process too - they look almost the same way inside out... Yay!

What I was making this week, for a little lady! She is artistic, creative, a pupil... and had a birthday. So I went for a back to school theme for the present... Pink, flowers, fuchsia and some white ... my type of present recipe... What I really loved is the fact I designed and made it from start to finisha all by myself. 100% Domoshar creation! It turned nice and was really nice packed and decorated. Currently in love with the project and seeing more like nit to come... What it is? I will show you soon. Hopefully with some more.

The project for this week. It was started last week. Good plan. Especially now, as I already know, I had to unexpectedly miss a day in the studio today. Not sure I will be able to finish it by the end of the week. I will try though.It is small, I know. But it is not the only thing planned. What are you making this week?

The next part /and probably the best!/ of this week's sewing! A little lovely gift received this week! I was so impressed, I wiped up a few. Almost actually - these are not finished yet. The cute owls with the smiling button is the gift and great inspiration. It was like new cake recipe - just had to make it right after entering the kitchen /studio/. LOL. This little purse is an ingenius idea of  NotYetTheDodo. Thank you for the gift and inspiration! It has received some love already - thus the wrinkled look. I am so happy she did not mind me making some. A lovely item has to be multiplied! I see some happy ladies pretty soon. And even a gentleman who will happy to be receive one. Oh, and wait! This is not all, I know a gentleman, who saw a mini purse himself! Not telling which one, but it is shown here. LOL
