Beautiful and special Christmas presents

I received this beautiful canvas with painted poppies as my Christmas present from my friends Ala and Lloyd and their children Martyna, Karolina and our God son Max. The canvas was painted by Martyna who is nearly 15 years old. It is absolutely stunning in every aspect - the colours, composition and attention to details.

This little Christmas stocking was hand stitched for us by our God son Max who is 5 years old. A very special gift indeed.

Thank you very much to Martyna and Max and their family.

Crafty Christmas presents

It's the time of gift giving and what's better than hand made paper gifts. The below cards are part of two packs made to give away:

This is a sewing journal I fully made for Wendy from my Monday night patchwork group. I have been neglecting my patchwork/ quilt making but my friends don't mind getting paper gifts. The journal was made with coptic binding and I decorated and stamped the inside pages. The journal is tied with a ribbon and there are some stitched tabs inside. Here it is:

Picture for my sister

I made this picture for my sister, she received it yesterday so now I can publish it here. It was done with the same technique as the picture I featured a couple posts before.

Nie ma bloga mojego kolegi Kuby

Niestety dowiedzialam sie dzisiaj, ze blog Kuby, o ktorym pisalam ponizej, zostal usuniety przez administratora po tym jak ktos anonimowy doniosl, ze Kuba ma tylko 9 lat i nie moze miec bloga. Niestety, reguly mowia, ze bloga mozna miec dopiero od 13 lat ale nie wiem jak dorosle osoby moga byc tak wredne i zawistne, zeby donosic na 9-cio letnie dziecko, ktore dzieli sie swoim talentem i kreatywnoscia z innymi blogowiczami. Szczegolnie, ze blog powstawal pod okiem i nadzorem Jego Mamy, ktora trzymala reke na pulsie. Kuba mial niesamowita rzesze wielbicieli i teraz na pewno bedzie tez im bardzo przykro, tak jak mnie. Mam nadzieje, za Mama Kuby zalozy bloga i bedzie cytowala zapiski Kuby o tym co on tworzy. Ja osobiscie chce ogladac wiecej prac artystycznych Kuby i czytac te wspaniale napisane przez niego relacje artystyczne i troche osobiste.

PS zwyciezyl rozsadek i blog Kuby zostal przywrocony, hurrrraa.
