Outside atelje


Yesterday was such a wonderful and shiny day that I couldn't stay at house and took all my sewing tools outside.


It was great! Somebody was playing with hens, somebody lying on terrace floor, somebody just enjoying the nature and somebody... creating on sunshine :)


The mood was perfect. Even small wound from hen's beak didn't break this perfect feeling.
It seems that spring is gathering momentum and my home studio becomes outside studio :)
