‘TRAVELLER DOG’, ‘RAINBOW’ and info
September 14, 2011 by Teje
Good mornig!!!
Sky is so blue and sun is so bright - great day again! Today I show you sewing, knitting and at the end of the post I have an important info if you are still ‘no-reply’!
I had yesterday a fabric Tuesday – almost all day sewing – and I made two funny pillows!
This pillow is going to be a present to a baby girl with the baby quilt. That family has a dog so I made a pillow with a travelling dog. Earlier pillow with travelling cat is going to be a present to an other baby girl with a baby quilt, too.
I was so happy to get custom orders for these funny pillows and baby quilts! I had put already the ‘Traveller Cat’ to my shop but now when it’s already sold, I shall make few more other funny pillows.
Hanna likes to show you the back of this pillow (half of the back is with ‘pastel’ colour polka dots) …
The other pillow I made yesterday has also a dog with something. I would like Nero to show that to you … but he is having a nap now, so I’ll show you how my ‘Rainbow Jacket’ is proceeding …
I needed to start third time to find a way how I like it. The second start was quite good but it had some kind of heavy look, which I didn’t like. Now I have made only few rows with ’1 knit, 1 purl’ and a change in every row. After that I continue with ’4 knit, 4 purl’ 4 rows and then change. I have always liked this basketweave!
Also I changed my idea and I shall make these front pieces from one yarn ball and only the back piece from two. I think it’s enough confused like this. The funny thing is that the lenght of one colour fits very nicely with the basketweave – not exactly but it emphasizes the squares!
This is going to be VERY COLOURFUL jacket and I love it alredy! I have in my mind to make an other similar with some natural colour for the days when this feels just too powerful!
And now … NO MORE “NO-REPLY”!!!
Yes that’s true! After blogging one year, I have finally found The Info how to fix this! First half an year writing my blog I didn’t even know what this means, even I was sending replies to the others. Then I found out what it means but couldn’t make myseld “reply”. After a while I accepted that because I have a wordpress blog I will be always ‘no-reply’ to blogspot blogs and reply works only between other wordpress blogs.
I have opened a blogger account and even an other blog to lead people from there to my main blog. I have gmail address. I use blogger reader wich I like very much – so many months I didn’t know what that means or how it works and I was just wiriting up my favourite blogs and visited them as often as possible. So now travelling in the Blogworld is much easier! Still there are difficulties – sending a comment with some blogs I need to click so many times before it sends my comment – in other blogs there is already my details and the comment leaves with the first click. Somewhere it shows my “Nero” icon and somewhere doesn’t.
If you are struggling with this same problem you find can find this very helpful info HERE! This is a beautiful blog “PLEASANT HOME” and I’m a new follower because there is so many wonderful things and crafts to enjoy!
This very colourful shop is in the old town in Chania. When having a walk there last week, I thought I would like to share this with you! … hmmm it’s really too colourful …
Thank you for joining me and my crafty corner! You are so dear and sweet with your lovely messages! See you soon and have a wonderful time!!!

I just love the pillows, so creative. Looks like the sweater is coming along. It is nice how the colors seem to fit the blocks. Very nice visual.
You would have to keep me far, far, away from that shop. I love pottery and have too much already. But I am sure I could find a thing or two…
Hi Teje,
Lovely blog.
I love your dog pillow. I’m looking for quilters to do a ‘place-themed’ mugrug. Would you do a Finnish or a Greek one for our Mugrug World Tour? See http://quokkaquilts.blogspot.com/p/mug-rugs-of-world.html – we have Aussie, Scottish, Japanese done, morroccan, english, irish and new york promised! Would love to add to the collection

you’re pillows are so fresh and creative! And how cool they are flying off the shelves
Yeah! You are a reply commentor! I am so happy to be able to reply to your kind comments! Have a great week, Teje and Nero and the rest!
Pillows are great! Sometimes the computer just makes me crazy. I am glad you didn’t give up.
Your Travelling Dog is just too cute. I really like the colors and the happy smile on his face. I am sure the baby girl will treasure it! And I am still amazing at your rainbow jacket… its really going to be fun to wear! Hug the pups for me!
That is an adorable pillow! Love the applique on it. And what a pottery shop!
Hi Teje,
Love your pillows they are cute. See you are getting on with your knitting. It is knitting up very nicely. It was really hot here today what was it like in Chania area? Anyway had a nice cooling swim in the sea, it was very refreshing.
Oh my adorable pillows! And welcome to the non-no-reply world.
It’s a lot more fun that way.
Great pillows!! It took me a long time to figure out the no reply thing too, and Pleasant home was who helped me as well. As always, I love your pictures too!
LOVE your pillows! Thanks for visiting. Thanks for sharing. ;o) ooxx`jodi
Oh Teje, I just don’t know where to start. Again you are showing so many wonderful items and I love each and every one of them. The jacket is going to be wonderful and when wearing it on a cold day, you will be like a warm shining sun!! Thank you for telling me about the mugrug-tour; I’m definitely going to join because it is a wonderful idea.
Maybe the shop would do better if they put their stock into colour groupings..the eye would be able to focus on an item then! Beautiful cushions and so many other amazing pictures of your crafts. Have a happy weekend Teje!
Fantastic cushions … and I love the bright cardigan!
Your do pillow is so sweet – I am sure it will be treasured:) Cyndy
Very cute pillows and I love the beginnings of your colorful sweater! I’ll be watching for the finished sweater.
Your pillows are such fun and I love your knitting – such brightly coloured yarn!
what a lovely cheerful blog you have! the pillows are so sweet, your quilting is beautiful and your knitting too. so much fun.
i wish everyone would add their address in their blogging profile, it would make responding to comments through email infinetly easier! good luck with that!
Beautiful work
I am in love with Rainbows, and that basket weave pattern most certainly looks wonderful. Pretty little shop- thanks for sharing!
I love your funny pillows and your rainbow jacket is going to be beautiful
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your quilted pillows. They are just the most precious ever! Your knitting is lovely too. You have a beautiful weekend.
I love the traveling dog. I love all the shapes and the playful composition. I don’t know anything about the no-reply, since I get lovely comments from you. I am WordPress and have never had a problem interacting with Blogger – but computers are complicated. I am traveling – but not with my dogs, which I find to be very sad.
I really enjoy reading your blog. You are so creative with your quilting.
Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Fiber Arts Friday!!
I just love your patchy patchwork! You’re so incredibly talented! The rainbow jacket is divine!
And oh, that shop!! I want to go!!
Such beautiful colors! The pillow is extraordinary. Since I love dogs, it’s especially fun to see.
Such detail and colour in the pillow. I’m sure it will be treasured by the little girl as she grows up.
Hi Teje, I’ve featured your travelling dog cushion this week…
