Advent is about to start - the most exciting countdown ever experienced! It is the best time of the whole season - the anticipation of Christmas... the busy preparation, the desperate attempt to calm emotions down and the beauty in all that.

  I would like to show you what you could do with these little treasures from HAORI.

Living in a small country, the size of your palm is a rewarding life - one gets to know their mother-country so well, almost every corner of it, every animal and every tree. It is never boring, although the country could be crossed diagonally for only one day drive. 

 This mini-quilt I made in an adventurous sew-along with so many talented and creative wonder-makers.

Before spring arrives, I am already busy celebrating juicy fragrant strawberries. This placemat is inspired by the colourful happy book of Atsuko Matsuyama and although the recipe is changed a little bit, I used her design for the appliquéd strawberries and turned them into a mini place mat - big enough to serve well my little one for her lunches at school.

Finishing some hand-quilting on this wonderful project that was meant to be a Christmas present ????for my beautiful, Disney obsessed, loving daughter. Hopefully, it will be done for Valentine's Day. The amazingly textured @haori.taiwan.official yarn-dyed cotton fabric comes to help in that and it is even more fun to salute the Winnie the Pooh day in the @disneystore photo challenge #SoThisIsLove .

​We had selected the spring colors for 2017, and ready have a lot of handmade projects with them!
