Oh my, what a week! I had so much in my to-do-list, and most of them (as always) were to accomplish at the same time... So hectic it was but great! And to make my days brighter and happier I had a long waited visitor to stay for almost whole week... Please meet Clara:
Clara is a happy traveling owl and she travels all around world, and visits many creative people, and now it was my turn! And what a lovely time we had! As I was busy getting a big order ready and shipped, Clara was more than happy to help! She tried needle felting...
...
Our days were full of activities, and in the evenings we just fell in sleep as soon as our heads hit the pillow. Clara slept greatly in her busy-bee bed:
...and after a well-deserved beauty-sleep she was ready for some more action...
She helped me to sort and pack a few things, and we also wrote a card to Clara's best friend, Hans the Hedgehog! We wish Hand gets his card soon. Clara misses Hans a lot even she has the best time visiting wonderful, new people, and I wanted to ease that a little. So I made Clara...
A hedgehog-hat! Fits her perfectly too! Clara travels with her precious journal, where every one who meets her can write a note, draw a picture or capture some memories any way they wish. I scribbled down a few pages too...
...just before it was time to get Clara safely packed for her travel to the next destination, Sweden! Thank you so much for your visit, sweet Clara, and happy and safe travels!
Yours,
Mia

Well hello Clara and Mia (I was wondering about you!).
I can see now you have been very busy entertaining and what a lovely guest you had too! I love the pic of her sleeping with her little clock, too cute! :)
What an amazing hat too, she will be so glad she came to visit you!
Happy Tuesday my friend and Clara too!

P.S. Love those budgies. :)
Clara looks so splendid in her hedgehog hat what a lovely idea. It reminded me of when my son had to bring the teddy bear home to stay at primary school and take him on adventures and write about them. Happy Travels Clara ... Sarah x
Hi Mia! I can imagine how great holidays Clara had in Finland! She looks wonderful with her new hedgehog hat! I'm so happy to hear your have been busy and those parrots are so adorable! Have a great 1st of May dear friend! x Teje
Mia, I am sooo so so overwhelmed! I´m still sitting here with tears in my eyes ;) (silly me huh?!) But you gave Clara the most wonderful stay she could have wished for! And that hat is just so very gorgeous! xoxo
What a very sweet idea Mia and how welcome you made little Clara. She looks wonderful in her hedgehog hat..what a cutie. I am sure you will miss your house guest very much. Happy Tuesday my dear,

She looks like she had a wonderful time. I've wanted to try needle felting for some time. Seeing Clara enjoying herself makes me want to sign up for a class right now.
I will follow her travels with great interest.

Happy May!

Hello Sarah,
I think we've had similar thing when I was young, and I loved it then and I loved it with Clara! It's wonderful that some come up with ideas like this...Makes me smile and you all hopefully too :)
Happy May!
Yours,
Mia
Hello Teje,
It was such fun to capture my daily things with Clara, it all looks so much more fun with a little owl attached don't you think? Oh and the hat... It'll remind her of Hans always :)
Hauskaa Vappua!
Yours,
Mia
Hello sweet Susi,
Thank you so much for having me in Clara's travel plan, it was fun and memorable! I loved capturing all things I usually "just do" with her, so much cuter :)
Wishing you lovely days of May!
Yours,
Mia
Hello Jane,
Owls are wonderful creatures, and one traveling with a hedgehog-hat is definitely unique, and also guaranteed to make you smile :)
Have a lovely May, and kisses to Billy-boy!
Yours,
Mia
Hello Jessie,
Oh pleaze please try needle felting, it's easy, fun and very addictive! You can get started with very little (a barbed needle, some wool and an old sweater to felt into plus a piece of foam from old mattress to put under the sweater), and in no time you'll be hooked! It's a promise :)!
Happy and sunny days of May!
Yours,
Mia
Hi Mia,
Clara is a cute guest. I see she enjoyed Finland's flowers too. Now I am curious and I have to learn more about Clara.
Love her hedgehog hat.

Hi Mia, What a sweet guest and lucky one too! So if I were a stuffed Owl I could come visit you? haha Love the hedgehog hat and so perfect for Clara. I'm sure she feels more complete with that darling hat!
