Slowly adding, changing and working

So, I'm slowly adding things here, although it feels like I'm talking to myself. I've seen on other blogs that people either advertise their shops, talk about their moods (what they listen, what they eat, how many times they poop a day, etc.) or help one another. That last bit is interesting, but I don't know how to help unless I'm asked first, lol!
So, for my next post (in a few days, cross my fingers!), I will post the process of making one of my bags, the triangle one. I won't be writing a pattern, I will just post pictures of unconnected pieces and explain the process of connecting them into a single completed bag. I hope it will be interesting to my future followers *giggle*.
So, bye for now and see you in the future!

My old site "Bubamara Design" on Angelfire is no more!

As I recently discovered, my old site on Angelfire (under the name of Bubamara Design) had been hacked, or so I think. I cannot log in, my email is not recognized by their system and on my Free Patterns page I can see some strange things going on, like advertising for some Asian furniture and something like that.
I have tried to contact Angelfire, but to no avail! Granted, I haven't done anything with that site for a very long time (about 6 years), but still...
I wanted to open a new site to place my old free patterns and when I make new ones, to offer to people, but I don't know if it's worth it. Maybe it's better to do that here, but for me it's easier to deal with HTML tags than to edit things like this and add some gadgets and widgets (hihihi, this rolls of the tongue so funny). But I will try it anyway.
Blogging do has some advantages, but these pages do tend to be somewhat crowded with things and I think it's harder for people to find what they want. On web sites you have visible links to patterns, helpful hints and so on.
I will aim to re-post my old free crochet patterns here and start with adding new ones.
Now I feel like I'm talking to an empty room again, lol! So, until my next post, goodbye room and have a nice day :)

And... it's starting...

Hello my "future" followers, this is your master speaking... ehm. Sorry, sorry, wrong "space". Forgive me, I'm new at this. First to introduce myself. My name is Marija and I'm from Serbia. English is not my mother tongue, but I'm an avid movie and TV watcher and I learned english in school (a long, looooong time ago!), but if I make some mistakes in my writing, please don't take it to heart.
As you will see, my passion is designing knitted and crocheted clothing and accessories and I would like to share some with you in hoping to meet other crafty people out there... here... ere... re.... e! <---- echo!
My mum taught me the basics of knitting when I was 9 and after a few classics, like simple shawls and hats, I started reading patterns from magazines that were available at the time (there was no internet then, ah, the non-technical era...). I made my first design when I was 14, it was a sweater-tunic with bat-like sleeves. I needed something other than bulky jacket to wear while skating. After that, I made some very unusual sweaters, that started like the classic ones but I tend to change things during work (you know, the hormones, lol) and they end up different. As for the crocheting, I am self taught. I was 16, with my family in a spa (not the modern day one, but the rural one) and was bored so I bought one hook and one magazine, learned the basic stitches and made a doily just by looking at one featured as an add in a magazine.
For a long time I knitted and crocheted for my own pleasure and for family and friends. I did have a website for a few years back in 2000 till 2002 selling crocheted patterns mainly, but it was hard to maintain it since I'm from Serbia and couldn't find a merchant and payment accounts that can help me. So, there is that void of 8 years when I hadn't been so internet active, but I want to change that now, hence this blog (I still giggle at me blogging).
And since I'm writing this only to myself (I hope only for now), I must be off to do some work in reality. Bye for now :)
