*tea set

I made the little jug, because I wanted to have something where I can allow to infuse my loose black tea leaves in exactly the amount of water I use to drink for my breakfast tea. And I love how it turned out! I already had it several times with me when I was outside with my needlework.

*birds like leaves

When birds are flying like leaves from the trees 

and the days get shorter and shorter.

*most of my prayers

Most of my prayers are wordless

and I have the pleadings of a child. 

My fingers are never still,

but my heart is.

I do not hear it pounding,

nor feel it in my chest.

When I sleep, I sleep soundless.

My partner is waking me in fear.

I was merely far far away,

where I fly without wings.

{Claudia Voglhuber}

*Set of vases

 It's time to show my latest ceramics a bit closer. I just love how the light glaze turns out on the dark clay. My sister was here for a visit for some days and she brought me also a bunch of her handmade ceramics, we glazed them together and fired them later in the kiln. The results were very surprising in a good way. I wish time would not go by so quickly! The birches have lost almost all their leaves by now and most flowers in the garden beds have been frozen. Just some strong ones are still blooming, like the edible tagetes sorts. I'm getting curious when it will snow the first time this season. There is a chance for next week, we will see!

*Between rose hips & fly agarics

{Music: Sparkle – Matteo De Grandis + Lick stick – Nursery + Sprout and Beans (instrumental) – Joanna Newsom}

The autumn season goes on with some quality time in nature and unloading new ceramic pieces from the kiln. After the heavy rains in September we are having an abundance of mushrooms in the forests. Especially so many pretty fly agarics that are usually rare for our area.

*walnut colored knitted hat

Another finished little piece of needlework, a walnut colored hat with bobble. I have worn a lot since I made it, I like hats where all my hair fits in, even if I have tied it into a bun. I have no proper pattern for this one, I just improvised and hoped that it will work out.

*Reno top

It has been ages since I last crocheted a piece of clothing

 like this. For the pattern I used another one from "Paula strickt". I really love her designs! They are easy to follow and almost always work out for me. I used a really soft wool that does not itch and is comfortable to wear directly on the skin.

*Light blue adult bonnet

In the meanwhile, almost all the leaves on our apricot tree have fallen off. The pattern of this bonnet is from tabymakes. It was really easy and fun to make. I added some extra rows to have more space for my hair.
