Another year is passing. The last days of the year are dripping through my fingers, but I don't want to look back. I know what has happened. I was there, I witnessed all of it. And isn't that a blessing?! 

 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.

Inspired by the upcoming season, I have designed this mini-quilt with a little twist to the stockings and the Christmas tree appearance. 

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

... to my sweet, sweet darling Valentine(s) ♥ ♥ ♥

"She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me. I ought never to have run away from her... I ought to have guessed all the affection that lay behind her poor little stratagems. Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her..."

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

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 .

Another red and gold come together to create a traditional money envelope, that is given to young children by their parents and grand parents for the Lunar New Year celebration.
