Belt pocket

This March I took a short course on bead embroidered belt pockets worn with folk costumes on Estonian islands. These wonderful bags were tied around waist and used for keeping coins and other small items. Indeed, this kind of extra pocket comes very handy nowadays as well (although I haven't worn mine yet), perfect for a phone or a camera, for instance.
My green pocket is not what they used to look like, the front side was usually fully covered with very colourful beads in different patterns. Unfortunately, I could not find any photos of the beaded pockets on the internet. I used my own colours and other ancient motives instead, the ones that were traditionally embroidered with thread. Here's an example.

Fresh start

Although crafting has been my favourite activity for the past three years, I always had to find time for it beside all the other things and never really got to the larger and more time-consuming projects that I was looking forward to begin. But that's all history now, I have decided to do what I want and see where this road is leading.
My own blog is another thing I have wanted for a long time, so here it finally is. Just hoping I'll have time for blogging and more importantly - many beautiful things to show as well as interesting finds to write about. Wish me luck!

Green is definitely one of my favourite colours, love all shades of it. For starters, here is a small gathering of green things I've made:
