black and white

It's raining outside. Strong winds and it is totally not like the usual Israeli weather. Some say that this land is a land of extremes. I guess on days like this one I could definitely confirm this from another, new aspect. Riding lessons are off today and I am locked in my sewing studio. Without a sewing machine. Uf. The time has come that I exchange my home Bernina (that I managed to break with trying to stuff too many upholstery fabrics through it) with a good, strong industrial one. Someone knows about a good brand? I've been falling for Juki recently and would dye for some good advice.
Anyhow, since I do not sew today, I managed to make some photos of the bag I made (before my poor Bernina made that ugrgh sound) and added it to my shop. Also the israeli one.
There is a new album posted on Pikula's facebook page that is worth visiting, it's called Pikula peacock. All the photos were taken in my beloved kibbutz Ramat Hakovesh with my good friend Karin. A crazy peacock that was following us all around is guilty for the name of teh album. Will be happy for feedback.
Still crazy about dots as you can see on my latest sketches. We'll see what comes out of it.

Zunaj je cel orkan. Čisto nepodobno običajnemu izraelskemu vremenu. Nekateri pravijo, da je ta dežela kraj samih ekstremov. Po dnevu kot je ta, se popolnoma strinjam s to mislijo, seveda iz novega zornega kota (spet).
Jahalne lekcije so odpovedane, kar pomeni da ostajam doma, zaklenjena v delavnici...brez šivalnega stroja. Uf. Moja ljuba Bernina polomljena sedi pri serviserju in jaz sem sedaj zares prepričana, da potrebujem eno fajn močno industrijsko mašino. Se kdo od vas spozna na industrijske šivalne stroje? Meni je (po večdnevnem internetnem raziskovanju) najbolj prirasla k srcu znamka Juki, vseeno pa bi dala vse za kak dober nasvet.

Kakorkoli že, če že ne morem šivati, sem se spravila na fotografiranje nove črno bele torbe, ki je že v trgovini. Nove skice pa potrjujejo mojo neskončno ljubezen do pik. Bomo videli, kakšen bo končni izdelek.

Nov pavji album na Facebook-u, vreden ogleda in vesela bom komentarjev. Slike so bile narejene v meni ljubem kibucu Ramat Hakovesh s prijateljico Karin, ki ji ni para.
