 I like to snap pictures with my phone. It's convenient and the phone fits in my pocket. Also it's really easy to post pictures on the Instagram or Facebook right away.  But I missed  my camera so out it came again instead of my phone. Being able to take better quality photos and  "play" with the settings and lenses makes it up for the inconvenient size.

Rada fotim z telefonem protoze je maly a vejde se mi do kapsy. Je take sikovne mit moznost fotky rovnou poslat na Instagram nebo na Facebook. Ale zastesklo se mi po fotaku a tak jsem ho zase "oprasila" a zacala si hrat.



If you didn't see my kitchen before, you could probably guess which color is  the most dominant just from looking at these shelves ;)

Jestli jste nikdy nevideli mou kuchyn lehce uhodnete, ktera barva tam prevlada jen z pohledu na me policky ;)

Also I finally manage to take  pictures of these  infinity scarfs. You can find them in my fb shop.

Konecne jsem nafotila i davno dodelane saly. K dostani na me facebook strance.

And of course I had my "helper"  Charlie watching me. He follows me everywhere like a dog and he is super sweet!

No a samosebou jsem na to mela pomocnika Charliho, ktery za mnou vsude chodi jako pejsek a je hrozne mily a pritulny!

Happy Canada Day!

 Vcera jsme oslavili  Den Kanady .

We celebrated Canada Day yesterday. Happy birthday Canada! 

Poslednich par dnu jsem se zabyvala timto malym projektem.
I was working on this little project last few days.

Mezitim jsem stacila rozbit konvici z prekapavace,

I broke my coffee  maker  carafe,

a tak zatim pouzivam tento malicky rucni presovac na kafe nez koupim novou :) 

so before I'll be able to replace it, I'll  have to do with this little tiny bodum :)

Sala, i kdyz pletena tenkou prizi na ponozky, pribyvala docela rychle. Bylo to asi take tim, ze jsem dlouho nepletla   (z takhle tenkou nitkou uz vubec ne ) a tak jsem si to uzivala.  Tady uz "pracuji" na lemu, ktery je take pleteny ale vypada jako hackovany. Pridavam video, ktere najdete take u popisu (vse  bohuzel v anglictine )

I used sock yarn for this project, it was a bit slow but I enjoyed working on it. I used this pattern.

Pletla jsem par hodin kazdy den a vzalo me to celkem tri dny.
I worked on it few hours every day, it took me three days to finished it.

Prize na ponozky, z ktere jsem pletla.
I used this gorgeous sock yarn. 

 Libi se vam ma nova miska na vlnu? Me moc, je to jeden z darku k narozeninam od dcery z dilny keramicky na Hornby Island. Podobne ale najdete treba na Etsy.
 Do you like my new "yarn" bowl ? I love it, it was one of my birthday presents from my daughter, made by local Hornby Island artist. You can find many beautiful yarn bowls on Etsy.
