spring is coming

something I saw :)

four fellows

These are last hedgehogs available for now. Made of natural Japanese linen ( thank you, Jacqui!) and embroidered with simple and sweet flower design. One in aqua blue, one in soft cornflower blue, one in salmon pink and cream and one in soft purple colors. I hope you like these....

who ... me?

Yay!
Thanks to JulieB who left a comment I have found out that my blog is featured as one of the 50 Stellar Sewing Blogs in Guide to Art Schools. here's the link!
I'm so happy and inspired now....maybe I should really pick up my needles and threads once again?

mmmm.....

... it was yummy!

three little hedgehogs...

...are patiently waiting for their new friends :)

hello

hi there!
it has been some long time.... and although I do not announce a huge comeback, I'm back anyway :) Just can't hide my creative side from myself :) lol
I have been visiting all your blogs and reading and getting inspired by all gorgeousness you create....it feels so good to belong her!
so what about me?
ummm...not much, just been immersed into schoolwork (taking course in graphic design) and enjoying summer as much as possible.
as this post is n't about anything particular, I wish you a beautiful Sunday!
see you around :)

latest Bunnies

for brother and sister - so sweet, don't you think?
I love the Bunny with chocolate brown letter- the contrast is lovely and new :)Enjoy!
PS this weekend I hope to finish some WIP's and also get done with my schoolwork, I hope you forgive me my blogging pause :)

small towels presented like desserts. They looked so real!

a company called home

at GreenGate

the lights are made of candles! lovely!

I fell in love with Silk-ka , a company for artificial flowers from Holland. The flowers looked absolutely amazing!!! It was an experience to be in their stand! Unfortunately is their website under construction, so I can't share much more right now.
I also noticed many new companies I'd love to introduce to you in near future :)

I'm contemplating to go to fair again today (I have a day off), lets see if its going to happen...

little glimpses

of my latest Bunnies. I'm happy I had the chance to try new color combination - chocolate brown, soft green and blue. I personally like it very much - never thought brown could be that interesting! The other one has green Monogram with pink berries. I have done this before, but this Bunny has letter "e" on it, so I have to make new photos :) Hopefully we 'll have nice bright day today, so I can take good photos of these. Have a great weekend!
PS the photo in middle shows WIP, which you don't see that often in my blog ;)

too much cuteness

pillow from DarkBluebell

art print from MarmeeCraft

"mine mine all mine" from trafalgarssquare

purse from mousch

print from StephanieFizer

from dimdi

is not possible, you think? You're right - its impossible to have/see too much cuteness :)
I was browsing Etsy yesterday, to see how do my tags work and how easy or difficult it is for shoppers to find my items. I saw so many adorable things during the "research" that I could n't hold myself back and decided to share my finds with you.
Please forgive me that there is n't much appleandeve's new work to show right now, but if you stay a bit longer with me, your loyalty will be rewarded :))) Enjoy cuteness!
PS "Monsieur Hedgehog Takes His Tea with Cream, No Sugar" ;) lol!

preparing for Easter

Hi friends! I'm busy to get some new Easter Bunnies done :) And its really nice to fiddle with pinks, lavenders and blues because the world outside is very cold and plain. White, gray snow, bare trees, low skies.... I need more color around me, seriously! I have come up with new color combination that I'dlove to try. What do you think of turquoise with fresh green? And pink with yellow?? And while we are at new colors, would you like to see Easter Lambs too?

I see I have n't posted some Etsy "love" lately, so here is something for today :) A bit unusual for me, it's all about supplies. Now - I know there are billions of little things you need for various crafts so yo do understand I had to narrow down the whole spectrum, yes? Here are the things I personally could use. Enjoy!
