I missed mountains for a long, long time. For our anniversary we treated us with beloved views.
Yes, we had gorgeous two days. We hiked, we ate in peace (with two little kids this really is a luxury), we talked in peace and we sleep in peace. And we found a perfect place for our getaway here. We talked how we almost forgot how it looks like when we are together just us. So I guess we really seized these days. Continue reading
Well I don’t go to Surtex, but my designs are and that is kind a same thing 
!!! It was hard keeping a secret but I really didn’t know if I would manage to do all the job and uploaded designs and mock-ups in such short period of time. Continue reading
I really like this picture of grandma. It reminds me how life is changing. When we "got her" she was different but her mind always stayed youthful. Always.
This is maybe the hardest post I will write. I’ve never lost a person who I held so close to my heart. And last week I did. My grandma passed away and though it wasn’t a total surprise it was a total heartbreak. Continue reading
I can honestly say that this Lovebirds art is the piece of the week. The sign on their wings says love - always.
Today I am sitting here infront of my computer sipping homemade lemonade and thinking about past three weeks. Well it was a busy, sometimes bumpy and also fun and excited ride. There were a moment of two when I totally wanted to quit everything and I was talking to my husband with the moaning voice that I couldn’t do it anymore. Hi listened awhile and than he said: “What? You want to quit after 5 months of your business. That is not something I would expect for you! Stop whining and go to sleep.” I went to sleep and it in the morning I was good . Continue reading
My very first floral pattern collection.
I know, I know this photo is big, maybe to big for my blog, but I want it that way. Deep down I feel that it has to do everything about what I love to do. Continue reading
This is my first "computer collection" named Arabic ground.
I’ve never meant to dis-neglected my blog so much time, this thing just happened among so many, many others. I didn’t want even inform you what kind of December we had. Story short – lot of sickness over here. Continue reading
This is one of my favorite Trees and it went to gallery.
I’ve been busy these days and I mean B U S Y. Sometimes I felt such uncomfort that I wanted to escape from my own life. But I stayed in and everything is now calming down. Continue reading
These were made to fly from my home .
Yesterday I opened my etsy shop here http://www.etsy.com/shop/PetraKern?ref=seller_info. It doesn’t seem to be big deal to do that: but for me, right now it was a trial. I am laughing now when I remember all those words of girls who made it in the art business. Almost every one told us that all of the sudden your art is put on the side. Now it’s time for marketing, paper works, bureaucracy, finding new ways to sell your work. And suddenly you realised you are still in still is time you have to go to pick your kids and your ponytail you’ve put so nicley together in the morning changed in weirdest hairdo ever.
Last Saturday by the Bohinj lake. I love that moments ...
I don’t want to talk about this weekend. Oh, God, no – the kids were sick, I was worried, we didn’t sleep much – common virus attack thing. But we had delightful weekend that week I returned from Minnesota. Continue reading
A time for share art and do some shopping at TCC market place.
I promised I will tell you more about real people I’ve met. There are so many that it would be impossible to mention them here. And those kind of events are mostly because of people and for people and if those people are creative and artsy than … Wohooo – you are on the right place. Continue reading
Last view of our country (yes, it's Triglav).
It is very easy to sit on your safety chair at your home and dreaming about all the nice things you would do if you had time, money, career, friends all over the world … For me to stood off my comfy chair and go to other side of the world to be closer to my dreams was a quite big deal. Continue reading
His first minute four years ago ... and yesterday morning on our bed celebration.
Yep – yesterday my big boy turned 4 (we had a little morning- in bed – family ceremony). I really can’t believehow quick the time flew. Oh my gosh it seems so close when I first held him … And I can recall so clearly his first crawls and steps and words. And look at him now!!! Continue reading
The first day of our vacations the sky showed us most incredible scenes.
It’s funny few days ago I was telling my husband that nothing is going on this summer. It seemed strange for us not to be here, there, everywhere. Continue reading
Sofis baptism. She looked so grown up here and put together . And one of rare family photos.
I know, I know, my blog has been totally neglected. I really don’t have an excuse – only that winding between parenting and creative time is – well – creative Continue reading
Afternoon in the zoo
It’s such a quiet time here right now. Seriously – I was longing for it for a long long time, but at the moment it feels a little bit strange. Continue reading
Daddy's scary monsters.
I guess everybody has monsters named Whatif in his mind. What if I am not good enough, what if I won’t succeed, what if everything will go wrong, what if I won’t any money from my art, what if, what if, what if … Continue reading
Me and my first trip to winery ...
Remember me? It’s me Sofija and in exactly 12 days I’ll be 6 months. I made my first 3-days trip with my parents, brother and friends to Brda. My mommy was worried how will I prove myself with this huge change and tiresome schedule and now she sees everything is just fine. I like to travel as brother, daddy and mommy do . And this weekend we are going to Prekmurje for extended weekend. I tell you – life is very busy right now, indeed. Continue reading
Is this really mine or just influential thing?
O.k. I have to say this thing about style really make me think. And it provided a taughtful conversation with my husband which I enjoyed very much, cause during the day we are often limited with conversation about the kids and errands. Continue reading
I love etnic, free, naive art as a sort of pattern.
O.k. I would really appreciate some help here. I’ve been dealing with this problem for quite a time now, bother different artists with questions, tried many things to see where I feel most comfortable … Yes, I do have style issues. Continue reading
I admit – it has been a looong, looong time, since I wrote last post. So long that I even don’t know where to start. Maybe it’s best just to mention few highlights and than explain little by little as time goes by … Continue reading
