Lots of little voices in my work room…

This little miss fluffy is a birthday wish that I’ve had an opportunity to grand. Great feeling. Thank you Yvette (and Victoria!) for that!

Mazoji pukuote yra gimtadienio noras, o as gavau galimybe ji ivykdyti. Geras jausmas. Dekui uzsakovam uz ji!

More toys/items very soon in my new shop… and that mini give-away is still happening!

Is it the blue patches in the sky and the warmth outside, is it Friday, or is it the happy feeling – I love what I do, I love what and who I have, that tickle my soul… regardless the reasons – the spring has visited me!

Mandy (sold!) wanted to be like Mai. Special. But don’t we all are?

Raspberry muffins… Mandy’s favourites

Photo album to remind of her friends and home she comes from…

Dilly

A special dress for a special occasion

And something pretty to sleep in

Hope your Friday is good too! x

they just want to say a quick ‘hi’…

Specially ordered, specially made, now lives across the ocean – mommy Eevi.

Specialiai uzsakyta, specialiai padaryta ir sekmingai gyvenanti uzu atlanto – mamyte Eevi.

There will be more bears and more babies… but next time: I’m planing to share some more of those lovely Japanese books I’ve and one of them will be up for grabs.

Enjoy your weekend!

Bus daugiau mesku ir kudikeliu… bet sakanti karta planuoju pasidalinti mielom japoniskom knygelem ir viena nedidele dovanele. Gero savaitgalio!

Another old custom order that has moved to the same family in Estonia

Dar vienas pasenes uzsakymas apsigyvenes toj pacioj seimoj Estijoje

Twins are not my specialization, but when you have somebody wanting to make a Christmas present for themselves, how can I say no… Sadie doesn’t even know she’s got a lookalike sister…My client, I really hope, she is pleased with her purchased bear. Nele?

Dvyniai nera mano specializacija, bet kai atsiranda norinciu pasidaryti sau kaledine dovana, kaip gali atsakyti… Sadie nezino, kad atsirado sese antrininke… O kliente tai labai viliuosi liko patenkinta isigyta meske.

I love creative freedom (yes, yes, I hear you – most of us do, freedom in general – is good, really good), when I can just make and see what/who comes out. And then get to know my creation and together with my good friend imagination we find something to add  to the toy’s life Although I also have to thank my clients, quite a few of my custom orders were so much fun too. Like having to try and make something I would probably avoid making… so I learn more and don’t end up repeating myself too much. Challenges are needed and welcome. And well, there will be plenty of those to come…

Labai myliu kurybine laisve (taip, taip, girdziu tave – dauguma is musu tokie, aplamai laisve yra gerai, labai gerai), kuomet galiu tiesiog gaminti ir stebeti kas ‘pasigimdo’. Tuomet susipazysti artimiau su kurineliu ir savo geros drauges vaizduotes padedama mudvi randam kazka pridet prie zaisliuko gyvenimo Nors turiu padekoti ir savo klientams, ne vienas uzsakymas buvo gan smagus. Pavyzdziui turejau bandyt ir padaryt kazka, ko pati tai tiketina buciau vengusi… tad taip kazka vis ismokstu ir per daug nesikartoju. Na, issukiai reikalingi ir laukiami. Tokiu tai panasu bus uztektinai…

The hopping one has gone to the house full of my other creatures, so she’s got a Christmas tree  and a big bunch of greetings to deliver.

Sokliuotoja isvyko i namus pilnus kitu mano gamintu gyvuneliu, tad jai itaisem Kaledu egle sventem irvisa kruva linkejimu.

Davina, who was originally planed as Davi, joined Benet and Inga (and Mai)… Not only their sweet owner and owner’s mommy loves them (along with other minnies and maxies of mine that have moved to the same address), but apparently Santa too. They were presents themselves, but these toys  have got a big wooden house for themselves for Christmas! Yep. They might have it too good in that Estonia

Davina, kuri pradzioje buvo suplanuota kaip Davi’s, susikibo paranken su Benet’u ir Inga (ir Mai). Reikalas toks, kad ne tik ju miela seimininke ir seimininkes mamyte juos (kartu ir kitus mano mini ir maxi gamintus minkstuolius kurie persikrauste tuo paciu adresu) myli, panasu dedule Kaleda taip pat. Jie patys buvo dovanomis, bet sitie minkstuoliai gavo didziuli medini nama Kaledom! Taip taip.  Per gerai jiem ten toj Estijoj

Little Pinch – a ’3rd leg’… is so devoted to Davina. A dream, not a dog!

Mazasis Pinch’ius kaip 3-ia koja, atsidaves Davina’i. Svajone ne suo!

Hope your weekend was a good one! I have big/ish plans for this week…

Tikiuosi savaitgalis jus pamalonino! As parengiau kokius tai didokus planus siai savaitei…

Reminder, Benet -  the pilot. We did not pack too much for the traveller, so that life and flying is easy.

Primenam, Benet’as – (nebe) mano skrajunas. Keliauninkui daug nedejom, kad gyvenimas bei skraidymas butu lengvas.

A couple of fruits, world map, warm hat, backpack on the shoulders and the world is your oyster! We kissed the pilot goodbye and wished him lots of great travels. Now we’re hoping for some postcards from Benet from magical places… We know that so far he’s stuck in Estonia

Pora vaisiu, pasaulio zemelapis ir silta kepure, kuprine ant peciu ir pasaulis pries akis! Nubuciavom pilota ir palinkejom daug graziu kelioniu. Dabar laukiam atviruku nuo Benet’o is stebuklingu saliu… Zinom kad kol kas jis Estijoje

Sometimes I think about my creations that are left only in pictures for me, what are their destinies, their homes… as if thinking about my children, that I raised and trusted to the big world, to somebody else…

They are like tiny pieces of my dreams, somewhere, at somebody’s, far far away… and it’s somewhat comforting.

Thanks for that.

Kartais pasvajoju prie savo darbelius, man likusiu nuotraukose, kokie ju likimai, kokie ju namai… tarsi apie vaikucius, kuriuos uzauginau ir patikejau didziajam pasauliui, kazkam kitam… tai tarsi dalelyte mano svajoniu, kazkur, pas kazka, toli toli… ir tai kazkokia jaukuma.

Aciu uz tai.

While the new teddies are in the process of making (at last) – the re-homed  ones take the stage…

Remember Bettino?

Kol nauji meskiukai dar tik ‘kepami’ – eteri uzima i gyvenima jau paleistieji…

Pamenat Bettino?

He’s Canadian now. I hear life is good and grey England is not being missed. Actually, Bettino is double lucky as long ears Etta was sent to join him. Or maybe the way round, Etta is the lucky one… one way or the other – the pair have a life and I’m (thankful) happy for and with them!

Kanadietis dabar. Girdejau gyvena gerai ir pilkos Anglijos nesiilgi. Jam pasiseke net dvigubai, mat pavyjui isskubejo ir ilgaause Etta. O gal atvirksciai, pasiseke Etta’i… kaip ten bebutu – porele gyvena, o as esu (dekinga) laiminga su jais ir uz juos!

Tomorrow: Friday! And some more sold toys…
