Hello our Dear Friends!!! We are here today with Nero to tell you our ‘This and That’!
Sun is back – at least for today… and Nelli enjoyed that. She was quite confused these last days because usually she likes to be so much outside and now it was just too bad weather! She was going out from one door and coming in from other one…and again, and again…
‘White Mountains’ has their snow coat and that brings also cold air down to us. The ship to Athens is waiting to leave in the evening.
Few days ago I was sewing something using different material! I had this ‘thing’ in my store long time waiting… burlap…burlap…nice word – every day we learn something new – I didn’t know till now what it means. If you don’t know, it’s this…
I have been reading Maya’s blog and there is so much lovely crafts and ideas to give us inspiration! You can meet Maya here! She has made wonderful things from coffee sacks, for example Christmas socks!
I remembered my burlap and went to find it! This is not very thick so it was a little bit difficult to handle. Still I enjoyed very much making something different! Here you are….
I think it’s very nice because it’s not too thick and you can see the inside fabric through the burlap. I had two buttons made of our olive tree, and they found now perfect place to decorate this ‘basket’.
I think this ‘Burlap Basket’ is very nice to keep many things! Now it’s waiting Santa Claus and later it’s perfect for my knitting! I shall make more of these – different sizes and other details! Shall we go for hunting ‘old coffee sacks’!
VOF VOF – I’m here – Nero – I want to say something…I haven’t seen you for while, because there is now so much Christmas things going on! I have missed you! Everyone knows that I love balls – please come to play with me…
…oh… I forgot that I can’t run well because I have hit my toe. Piece of skin is missing and it’s painful to walk. I try to remember not to run…but it’s difficult…I forget everything if there is something interesting on the road!!! Here we go again…
Teje I love your posts they are just so happy! That bag is super. I do hope poor Nero’s foot gets better soon and that your sunshine lasts so that Nelli can get out. Our weather is sunny today but we are due another arctic blast in a few days here in the UK. Brrrrrrrrrrrr
Take care, Love Jane x
Thank you so much Jane! I’m so happy if we can make you smile with Nero! Now we shall put some cream for the feet and hope to be better soon! I hope you don’t have difficulties with the cold and snow! Xxx Teje
Those olive buttons are amazing. I love the way you have made the burlap sacks and used them. Nero I hope your toe feels better very soon and you can chases those balls fast again.
Hello Carol! Thank you so much for your lovely words and wishes for Nero! Xxx Teje
Poor Nero! Especially when the other dogs are running, it must be hard for him. It is so interesting how dogs are able to manage pain and run even when it hurts.
I love your burlap bag with the olive tree buttons! It’s such a good idea to make buttons with wood from your property.
Hello Anne, thank you very much for your lovely comment! I like those buttons, too and I’m going to make lots of buttons. Xxx Teje
Hello to Nelli and Nero! Aren’t they fun to catch up with! Sorry to hear about Nero’s toe. Sounds painful. So hard for a busy doggie to keep still while it heals.
LOVE your burlap bucket. That handle is perfect for carrying around goodies or projects. Looks like a perfect size for your knitting. Enjoy your sunshine!
Thank you Terri! Nero has now sock on his feet – it’s difficult to get better because he is moving all the time and likes to lick the feet. But with patience it’s going to be fine. It was fun to make that burlap bag – I’ll continue them! Xxx Teje
I really love your burlap basket (and I love that word too – it sounds so quaint) – I’d really like to have one of these! I’ll have to find out where to get coffee sacks from! The little olive wood buttons suit it perfectly too. Lovely to see your snowy mountains there. (I hope Nero is soon better!)Keep cosy and enjoy your crafting!

Thank you Helen for your sweet words! I have found this material from the shop with garden things and it’s meant to cover plants for the winter. So if you don’t find coffee sacks you may find something else. Xxx Teje
Great basket, Teje! I love the buttons.
Hello Nelli and Nero, I hope your foot is better soon.

Hello Julia! Thank you so much for your sweet words! Xxx Teje
What a pretty basket! I love the texture with the colored fabric showing through.
Hello Teje,
I love the basket and I love all your post: it is like a sunshine in a gray sky
Thank you so much for all the sweet comments you leave in my blog!
Your weather is exactly like mine;)
Have a beautiful day,
Angie
Sorry to hear about your toe Nero. Hope it gets better soon
Thank you so much Anja, I’m better but we put still that magic cream to my toe! Hugs from Nero
