It's a long time since I wrote something here, so much has happened that needed my attention. The main reason I was not here, because my husband has been very ill, he was several times in the hospital and is now recovering. He must still check every week. Meanwhile it was very busy at work, so I did not have much time left for my hobby .......

I made the decision and quit my job, only three days to work!

The year 2012 is already coming to an end 

and I wish all my followers a very 

Merry Christmas

 with love and people who are dear to you.

My dear friend

I think I never told you of my good friend, a very very good friend. He is almost eleven years old, very

loyal, good listener and can keep secrets and I love him.

He is a black labrador who never walks on a leash and listens to the name dog.

Recently, with the walk, he pulled his back open to the barbed wire and I noticed a bump on his back. I had never seen before, I do check him regularly for ticks.

We went to the vet and she did a surgery and took away the bump, and sent it to investigate. The surgery went well, but after two days there was blood and pus coming out of the wound. The vet made ​​the wound clean and had to re-attach without anesthesia, it would not work. My dear friend has given no sound, he was very brave!

Now I have to clean the wound five times a day till it is closed, the results of the study was a malignant  tumor which was full of all bacteria, probably from the barbed wire. The wound is healing good now.

I wanted to let you know that I just have little time to blog, I watch regularly some blogs, but it takes so much time to post responses, especially now that you must enter two passwords........  I think it is a bad idea of blogger.

Hope to see you soon with more time 



Thank you!

I want to thank all of you for so many warm wishes on my previous post, that makes me feel good. Also for all the compliments about my giveaway, Eva was very happy with it.

Meanwhile, my number of followers has grown again, Welcome new followers, maybe I should start thinking about the next giveaway.   : D

A while ago I saw the beautiful cushions that Gillian makes and asked her if she could make me some.
My favorite colors are blue and brown, these colors are also in one of my houses.
And look what she made​​! Not a few, but a whole bunch of them!
She gave me all these pillows as a gift, is not she the sweetest?

I have no sofa for my house yet, so I used the pictures of Gillian,



are not they pretty, do you see the one with ruffles ?

Sooooo Beautiful, here all together!

Gillian, I want to thank you again for such a lovely gift, you're special!

I saw, she has made ​​new cushions, again very beautiful, she sells them here, go take a look!

I wish you a nice weekend! 

finally

First I must apologize because I have let you wait for so long. I am very ashamed and hope you can forgive me. I was again very ill and there are some sad events happened in our family, but I would rather not go into here on the Internet. I lost all my pleasure in making minis, but slowly starts to come back.

Then there was my giveaway, here's what I had made.

It is an off-white set and a basket with bath supplies in a soft peachy-pink.

The basket in front, it has little legs.

I asked my son to pull a name,
And the winner is Eva, from http://casitaderegaliz.blogspot.com/
I hope you like it, please send me your address and it will be soon at your place!

You responded with so many, with nice and sweet comments, I would like to thank you so much for that!

Bears

You may know that I love bears and on etsy I saw a scene with such small teddy bears....... and I fell in love !
You might think why not buy? There was someone for me, they were already sold :(
I asked the lady, her name is Signe, whether she wanted to make something for me and here they are!

A daybed with two little bears.
They are in 1:48 scale and sooooo beautiful!
These buddies, it is an older protective brother, and a little lazy brother, she said.
The daybed is only 1,5cm long and 6mm deep.




Then I saw this pram and I have to have it!
The pram is 1,5cm long and 8mm tall, the bear is only 7mm!





Here I put a small coffee pot there so you can see how small it is.
My photos are not so good, it is very difficult to photograph so small.
The little tiny teapot was a gift from Signe.

I admire her work and if you want to see more, she has no blog but take a look on her etsy:
Signe Alvarstein
Do not forget to look by her sales, you will be surprised.

More little bears to show you another time.
Do not forget to leave a message to my giveaway!
