Giveaway!

Last thursday, we went to the local market. We don't do that very often since it got so tourist oriented.
Pazar (where the bazar comes from) is the turkish word for market. It is also the word for sunday, what was traditionally the market day before the republic changed the rest day from the islamitic friday to the european sunday.
So, sunday is not the market day anymore, but today we invite you to come with us and admire the oyas (needle lace and crochetted lace) we found.

We purchased several oyas, and two will be for two lucky winners! Just leave a comment in this post, 2 winners will be picked at November 10. Anyone can join, 1 comment is enough :)

We've known this 'auntie' as long as we live here and she hasn't changed at all in fifteen years. She wears the traditional şalvar and headdress of the region and her hands are hennaed.
She has a small stand at the market where she sells her oyas. While she waits for customers she keeps working at them. Handmade at it's best!

Have been making hexagon flowers for a new bag. They are really easy: cut hexagons in two sizes, one about double size of the other.

Pin one large hexagon on a small one, good sides together, matching the corners and folding the extra fabric of the large one to one side. Stitch five sides and turn.

Close the sixth side by hand, give the puffing fabric a turn and stitch the center in place.
Would make a great effect in a quilt interpersed with regular hexagons. Although easy they do they alot of time, but hopefully it will be worth the result :)

Manupulating fabric has often many steps to make it interesting.

Many steps make it look like it is not going to turn into something attractive.

But slowly when you come to the end it become something totally different, and with some extra work you have a unique one of a kind bag, completly made out of repurposed fabrics.
Will be available in our bagshop soon!

Goodbye Ufo

After 6 months of struggeling to safe our Ufo, we have put him to sleep on wednesday. We will spare you his last pictures, although we managed to let him gain weight he looked horrible. All his muscles were dying, and for the last 10 days he could barrely walk without falling and slipping, like Bambi on ice.

It was heartbreaking to see him so ill, and although we tried everything he was only getting worse.

A few months ago he was diagnosed with myositis eosinophilica, an anti-imune illness before that we thought it was a problem with his teeth. His blood tests and x-rays came out normal. He got steroids after that, but it didn't help. When he finally started to get wounds all over his body and had a hard time to get up and walk, we decided to make an end of his sufferings.

It is weird to see him in these pictures as we have seen him boney and ill for so many months, he was such a beautiful dog. His mother Daisy and brother Leo are still with us.

The rest of the furry family have been quiet and have been eating not much since that day, we are all grieving...

I somehow managed to catch a flu. Spent most of the time in bed this weekend and still not feeling superb, so here a moodboard with socks (first time after months that I have worn them!), a pillow, fluffy clouds and a bacteria brooch.
Wishing you all a healthy Monday!
