Hello My Special Friends!
I’m feeling so good writing again to you! You have been so overwhelming wonderful!
Time for My Creative Space! I really enjoy this wonderful idea to share our Creative Space once a week! When Christmas is getting closer, I start to have too many inspirations with lots of materials. I was thinking something…with small pieces of wood… and finally now I had the right moment to try what it could become…
Earlier today I tried to make a ‘consept’ for this post but it was too difficult….I have so many things I want to show to you… and so many photos to choose… I can’t put them in any order in my mind…
…so I give up and just show photos and tell something about them….
This is the view of my work space for last few days…
I love materials from nature! These are slides of branch from olive trees from our garden!
I have cut 2 ‘leaves’ from felt I have made, and 1 leave from leather (lucky me I have lots of lovely leather pieces from my dear sister). Then stitching by hand I made the details.
I have named these ‘Lucky Olive’! I like to think that they bring us good luck!
Quite nice to decorate our handbag… this my dear bag is made by my sister! She came last year to visit me and gave to me this unique suprise!
Or perhaps with the key…
I’m now so fond of these little sweeties… for me they look so nice where ever I put them…
I think you have seen ‘Lucky Olives’ now from all sides!
This was one project I had this week. I have also ‘computer project’ which makes me sit hours with my computer… but I’m happy because I think finally I’ll manage to do something I have had long time in my mind…
What else you would like to see…felting or crochet? Or perhaps both…
Here is a short update for ‘Nero’s blanket’. Perhaps you thought I have leave it or forgot it – no, no, it’s next to me all the time and now it looks like this…
But my main material for this week is wool so here is one more idea for the winter and Christmas season.
I used for the base natural white wool and put over that a little bit white and dark brown and one line yarn. I made this very thin so that it has also ‘other look’ in the evening…
I think this is good photo to leave you today…here is evening about 9 0′clock and we shall eat pizza! Perhaps with glass of red wine! Who knows what I have done till my next post – even I don’t know yet how I spend my next days…exept that I shall visit all you my important friends and your wonderful blogs!
Remember to visit Kootoyoo and all those fantastic Creative Spaces!
Blimey, you’ve been a busy bee! I love the Lucky Olives, I have a bit of a soft spot for Olive wood.

The wood is lovely. I saw a blog where they had drilled small holes in the wood in a leaf shape and embroidered that. And the wool candle is wonderful. You have been very busy:-)
Benta
Thank you Benta! That sounds so interesting, if you see it again, please tell us! It’s always nice to find new inspirations…just where to find the time… xxx Teje
You are so creative! I love your Lucky Olives. And pizza–my favorite….
Thank you Ann! Kisses for you and Sage! Teje and Nero
WOW Teje…the Lucky Olives are so great!

Thank you Marion! It’s always nice to hear from you! Xxx Teje
Hello Teje,
I love the lucky olive and your blanket is simply wonderful:)
In my country we have olive trees in every garden, and we love them:) They are symbolic and beautiful…
Kisses from Beirut;)
Angie
Hello Angie and thank you for your lovely words! There is something magical with olive trees… would be wonderful to see your garden! Xxx Teje
Oh Teje, you are so talented! Beautiful things as always!
I love the bag from your sister, very pretty! “Nero’s blanket” looks gorgeous, it got my favorite colors!
Is it an Aloe Vera tree beside the bottle? It’s green and well growing! I also have some in my garden.
Thanks for your lovely words on my blog, yours is really really beautiful and you deserve it! Have fun!
Pls send my best wishes to Nero
LoL, xxx
Thank you LoL so much for your wonderful comment! It’s not the real Aloe Vera but similar, this we can’t use but it’s nice because it grows very easily with less ground and water. Xxx Teje
Beautiful lucky olives. I love stitching on the leaves and the mix of leather and felt.
Thank you so much for your visit and lovely words! Teje
Hei my dear dear sister,
I start every morning by reading your blog – it’s so lovely and makes me feel like we lived closer to each other.
You make so many wonderful things!!!
The colourful crochet blanket makes me jealous of Nero and feel I wanted to be a dog… (?!)
I absolutely loved the Swimming Socks earlier!! I’m wearing a pair of socks you have knitted for me every day now. They keep me warm in my workshop here in rainy Hampshire.
Missing you and love you lots!!

I love the way you think and then create. The olive wood and felt creations are very beautiful and you surprised me with the glowing qualities of the felt around the jar. Amazing!
Thank you Carol for your visit and wonderful comment! Teje
These are so great. I love the way the felt compliments the wood. My fav is on the handbag xxx
I really like all the natural materials you use. And that light jar is just beautiful!
Thank you Anja! I think that natural materials has always something special! Have a lovely day! Teje
Ihania avaimenperiä! Ja tuo Neron peitto näyttää jo melkein valmiilta! Täällä satoi tänään lunta ainakin 5cm. Ronjalla vaan meinaa tarttua lumi tassuihin varpaiden väliin ja kävely on hankalaa. Pitäisi varmaan laittaa tossut jalkaan, mutta epäilen, että suostuisiko kävelemään ollenkaan. Kovassa flunssassa ollaan oltu koko perhe ja koko viikon, mutta pikkuhiljaa alkaa hellittämään.
Mukavaa marraskuun jatkoa sinne lämpöiseen!
Ihana muuten tuo Neron kuva tuolla aiemmassa kirjoituksessa, koirille terveiset!
Katja ja Ronja
Kiitos terveisista Katja ja Ronja! Toivottavasti paranette pian! Nero hyvaksyi tossut kun oli varpaissa vaivaa, eivat vaan kestaneet meidan kivista maata. Afgaaneillammekin oli sama juttu lumen kanssa. Mutta on se ihanan puhdasta! Hyvaa jatkoa teillekin! Teje ja Nero
Those lucky olives are very creative – love them! Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such a nice comment.
oh how clever are you?
i love these – you’ve really outdone yourself x
I love your Lucky Olives – two lovely tactile materials in one lovely little object! What a beautiful bag your sister made too. And the wool candle is sooo cosy – I’ve never seen that idea before, very unusual.
Enjoy your weekend and your lovely crafts.

Thank you Helen! I’m really happy to hear that you liked these small things I made! Lovely weekend to you, also! Xxx Teje
