Happy New Year!

Best wishes for you, my dear blog friends! Let the sun shines in 2012!

Merry Christmas!

I wish you a heartwarming, cozy and loving Christmas Eve.

Unfinished

Many times I wish to leave my ceramics unfinished.
I like that raw state without colors and glazes.
Just clay,  its form and texture.....nothing else.

Love Message

The letter that surprised me in my mailbox
was not a love letter from a secret lover,
but the letter that brigtened up my day.
Dear blog friend Urška has set herself a task,
that with snail mail she'll bring some happiness
in to her friends lifes.

Look,  what I've got:

There was a card with lovely felted brooch in the envelope.
Thank you, dear Urška, I'll be proudly wearing it on my wintercoat.
It will bring some sunny colors in grey winter days.

November

November is the month that is not my preferred month.

Fogg, grey and short days bring melancholy in life.

I set myself in good mood with thoughts on December,

first snow and st. Nicholas gifts. We'll bake cookies again,

and grey days will be more pleasant.

What's new in Tika's workshop in November?

Many small gifts like these Mail holders are in progress.

I listed few in my Etsy shop. They are perfect for on your desk

with today's mail, photos, notes and to do lists.

Autumn

When I think of autumn, I think of sunny October day with
warm colours of leaves everywhere I look. Autumn means
abundance of  fruits, pumpkins and squashes which are
representing generosity of our mother Earth.

I like this quote:

        Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are seeds.
              You can either grow flowers or weeds.

I have plenty of fruits on my garden, but plenty of weeds, too.
I should be more cautious....

Little cat in a new home

Stella from Greece sent me a note that she received my little cat.
You can read all about little package on her blog.

Stella, I'm glad, that you like my cat :) I keep my fingers crossed
for you, that some day you'll get the real one.

Mini virus

I caught mini virus at Maja's blog. Her work is astonishing.
You can't imagine how tiny her sweets are until you see a coin next to them.
Congratulations! Maja, your fingers are really skillful!

I don't have patience for that kind of work and clay isn't a medium which
allows such tiny work. But I caught a bit of that virus myself.

I made little dishes for all kinds of little things, or maybe just for
sitting on the shelf looking pretty.
