POTHOLDER AND A TRIP!

July 15, 2011 by Teje

HELLO HELLO HELLO!

What a lovely summer morning! Coffee is ready and I’m happy to have you here with me and Nero!

Vof vof – we have made a potholder – how exiting! If I don’t look very interested it’s because I feel just too hot. Can you believe that someone can be very happy for a new potholder?

I was thinking few days about potholders made by jean fabric. Last night I slept so well because I had finished this, but the night before all the night I had figures going around in my mind … I could put there a bird, a fish, a butterfly … what else …

Today I want to thank you ‘Just Ramblin’ for the unique award you gave to me and Nero! We are very honoured to have this award and do appreciate it! And mostly we are so happy to see that you, our dear readers, enjoy our blog!

This award is to celebrate your blog as it comes across to the reader as heartfelt and genuine - HERE is the post that explains the reasoning behind this award! ‘Just Ramblin’ is a wonderful blog and worth of visit – ‘Miss Stella’ makes you happy and gives you a big smile with her sweetness and lovely stories!

I think we could celebrate this together, so we shall make a trip …

… but before that I like to tell you about online Quilt Show there is in August! It is a ‘Pet’s Quilt Show’ 15-19-8.2011 hosting by “SewCalGal” and you can read all about that Show from HERE!

About our trip … we shall go to ‘Marathi’! There is a beautiful sandy beach and the best fish restaurant! It’s about 10 minutes drive from my home – we can have a swim first and after that we shall enjoy delicious sea food!

Before we go, Nero wants to say something … Vof – can you see in this photo a small monster? If you like to learn more about that, I shall tell you in my next post!

Also we like to thank you so so so much for all your visits and most lovely messages – we love to read your thoughts! Please write often!

And now – we are on our way …

… make the magic click HERE and we shall be in ‘Marathi’!

Have fun and see you soon!!!!!!!!!

That is a very nice potholder. I love anything blue and white. I am interested in hearing about the small monster.

“Marathi” looks like a lovely place. And what a feast!

You live in such a lovely part of the world, but I’m not sure I could cope with the heat. Poor Nero!!

The potholder is great. I don’ know where you find the time!

You are more than welcome for the Genuine Blogger Award. You deserve it! : ) I love the potholder. If I were creative enough, I would take the leftover jean material from cutting up a few pairs of old jeans and make some. However, my sewing is limited to buttons and straight edges.Tucks, folds, bends…not so much!

Great potholder and love how you made the bird singing! I had a nice smile from the owls on your table setting as well… are those made from coconuts? And what a pretty view you always have! Hope your dinner was yummy and have a great weekend sweeties!!

Well deserved Teje, I love reading your posts, they always make me smile. It looks SO hot now in Crete. I am sure Nero seeks the shade. You made a lovely pot holder there. Well done.
Have a great weekend,

I love your little bird – and I’m thinking I could use a pair of old jeans for this idea …… I love repurposing my old things!
Thanks for your kind words on my blog – nice to ‘meet’ you!

What a cute potholder! I love the raw edges of the bird, and the musical notes you stitched on for the bird’s song – clever and adorable! Always love seeing pictures of the sea when I stop by for a visit.

Again you amaze me with your creativity–what a great potholder. Your seafood restaurant looks sooooooo good! Makes me want to plan a trip to Crete!

The cattle fish look a bit like our smelt (oregon). I was lusting after your photo of the foods at the restaurant which must mean it’s time to eat.
Love your little birdie.
