I am always bothered by the darn cars on the street when I photograph the girls. Not with him, though. He loves to see cars in his pictures. 🧡 He also has a collection of old phones wich he keeps in his backpack and when we go on walks we have to stop every five … Continue reading Little Boy
{Free Pattern} Pretty Snowstar
This is one of my favoured snowstars because it’s so pretty and lacy and sweet. 🙂 It is very easy to make and fast too. It looks best when made with good yarn. Natural and organic yarns are pricey unfortunately, but they are also more quality. For these stars I used Concept – Cotton Cashmere … Continue reading {Free Pattern} Pretty Snowstar
Hello, September
I started September with some Christmas projects. I always wanted a white tree full of crocheted ornaments but never did something about it until now. Thank you, Joanna, from Wishes in the Rain for providing the patterns and tutorials. Aaand, I can’t get We Belong by Pat Benatar out of my head. Thanks a lot, … Continue reading Hello, September
Beads and Bokeh
Although I am a born arachnophobic, wet spider webs are one of my favoured things to photograph. The water was my doing, though. I gently splashed the spider webs with water to get these faeryish effects I absolutely adore. The occupants of the webs were grateful as it was a hot hot day. One of … Continue reading Beads and Bokeh
Kitty Ears
My Maya aka Punkie Pie. I bought her the kitty ears when she was 3. Now she is 9 but she still loves them and still wears them. In public. I love her so much. She is an odd mix of a big baby and independent young woman. Also, her long, thick, black eyelashes; the … Continue reading Kitty Ears
Phoneography – How To Take Great Shots With Your Phone
Phoneography is the act of creating photos with your camera phone, instead of a regular camera. (iPhoneography is its branch and is the act of creating photos with an iPhone, obviously 🙂 ) I remember how things were like 10 years ago. I was an active member on deviantART, and sometimes some silly newbie would … Continue reading Phoneography – How To Take Great Shots With Your Phone
{freebie} Cat Wallpaper
I am feeling generous today so I am offering a wallpaper featuring my Felix. It comes in phone format too! I am using them right meow and they look awesome. The phone one is cropped in 1080×1920 pixels format and looks best as a lock screen. Oh, I just love the catch lights in Felix’s … Continue reading {freebie} Cat Wallpaper

Today was International Cat Day! Cats are the most awesome creatures on Earth, by the way. 😀 Here’s Felix, my crochet assistant and also the most dedicated quality control manager. Isn’t he cute? Why of course he is! And he is very aware of it. 😛 ❤ — Linking up with
In the Forrest
Go in the forrest, they said. It’ll be cool and refreshing, they said. Not really. It was hot hot hot! At least I have some nice pics. You know, to remember the sweat, the damp hair sticking on my neck, the buzzing of hungry mosquitoes… — Linking up with
{Throwback Thursday} Marble Beach
We visited Marble Beach in Thassos island, Greece. It is an amazing place! It’s indeed made of marble pebbles and the water is crystal clear. The only problem? Too many people! We arrived at noon so no chance of sunbeds for us. It didn’t matter, though. We still enjoyed our stay, because in spite of … Continue reading {Throwback Thursday} Marble Beach
Bear Lake
Somewhere in the middle of Romania, there is a lake where you can swim with ducks. It’s a special heliothermal lake, unique in Europe. The water at the surface is cold but at the bottom it gets warmer, because of the salt. This is why swimming is allowed only a few hours a day, with … Continue reading Bear Lake
Up Close
Quality macro photography is quite hard to achieve without a tripod. It’s so hard to stay crouched in the grass and keeping the camera still at the same time. I could have done better. I did a little better when I photographed the butterflies, it was raining lightly, the air was fresh, it was overcast … Continue reading Up Close
{from the garden} The Pretty Yellow Flowers
This little boy loves flowers. Roses are his favourites but he said these yellow flowers were pretty too. By the way, can anyone tell me their name? (Note to self: buy that app that tells you the name of all plants) Also from the garden: water for bees, greenery and a yellow leaf. It’s full … Continue reading {from the garden} The Pretty Yellow Flowers
The Baby Chicks
The baby chicks are actually tweens now. They get along well with Abi and Abi is always so excited to be able to pick them up all by himself. Until a while ago, little Abi wanted to be a cat, always meowing and acting like a kitty – I loved it. But ever since the … Continue reading The Baby Chicks
