July 15

Si uite-asa, am ajuns la jumatatea verii.
Cu arsita cu tot.
39 de grade Celsius, acum, in Marele Oras.
Dar lui Iulie nu-i putem reprosa nimic; degeaba i se spune "luna lui cuptor"?

Simt nevoia unor imprimeuri colorate, vesele, usoare, vii, florale, geometrice, nu stiu cum, dar ...altfel....sa le transform in tot felul de lucruri utile si frumoase.
N-am, asa ca ce-ar fi sa-mi amintesc cum se manuiesc vopselele. Dar nu pe hartie, ci pe panza.
Caut prin cutiile cu bucati de materiale si gasesc cateva de doc alb.
Deschid cutia cu vopsele si pensule si dau sa incep. E alba panza, alb e si in capul meu. A trecut atata timp decand n-am mai folosit vopselele, ca mi-e frica sa nu stric panza.
Imi vine sa renunt.
Pana la urma  imi iau inima in dinti si incep sa-mi imaginez ba una, ba alta....

Desi nu-mi plac dulciurile, simt nevoia de ceva dulce.
Tai o felie de paine adevarata si pun pe ea un pic din gem adevarat de caise (adica facute acasa).

Mananc incet (asa cum nu fac de obicei) si dupa ce termin ma intorc la bucatile de panza.

Mi se mai limpezesc gandurile si trec la cusut.

.....Si gata pentru primele poze:

Cam asta a iesit pana acum.
Sa vedem mai departe.

Sa aveti o saptamana frumoasa!
Have a beautiful week!

Thinking of Christmas Tree.../ Cu gandul la Bradul de Craciun....

Anul acesta incerc si eu sa fiu "in rand cu lumea"....

Am inceput ceva mai devreme decat in alti ani sa lucrez obiectele pentru Sarbatorile de Iarna pentru ca am primit e-mail-uri in care am fost intrebata daca pot face unele si pentru alte persoane in afara cunoscutilor mei. Ca oricare dintre voi, cei/cele care traiti cu/din pasiunea pentru un mestesug/forma de arta.....(spuneti-i cum vreti, dar stiti la ce ma refer) aflata in aceasta situatie, n-am putut decat sa ma bucur foarte tare si sa onorez rugamintile!

Asa ca, sunt in plin "proces creativ/lucrativ", caci poate mai plac si altora.....!

Si pentru ca, desi nu s-ar spune (la circa 20 de grade C in noiembrie.....) vremea povestilor se apropie, m-am gandit sa va spun si eu povestea transformarii unor bucatele de panza in niste mandre straie de sarbatoare. Pentru ca stiu ca aveti treaba si n-aveti timp de pierdut iar "o imagine face cat 1000 de cuvinte" va fac un rezumat mai jos: 

 

 

 

 

 

.....Si-am incalecat pe-o sa si v-am spus povestea asa.......

Sa aveti o zi frumoasa!

Have a beautiful day!

Hot...hot...hot....

Ei bine, da! E cam acelasi titlu ca la precedenta postare.

Nici n-ar putea fi altfel, devreme ce asta este subiectul principal al vietii mele, in continuare.

Suport din ce in ce mai greu caldura asta sufocanta care nu are nici un pic de pauza. Nici ziua, nici noaptea, de saptamani in sir....

Lucrez greu pentru ca gandesc greu in aerul fierbinte de peste tot. 

 Nici macar pozele nu-mi ies...

 N-am mai putut sa fac altele pentru ca geanta a plecat repede de la mine.

Incerc sa rezist onorabil. Frumusetile din gradina  imi dau curaj!

Asa ca,

Va doresc ca macar voi sa aveti

O zi frumoasa!

A beautiful day!

A bag

These days I have tried the Belle Bag pattern.

I have started with the front, of course.

I have continued with the back

And after some little time(!) it was ready

I'm working other bags, too.

Have a beautiful day!

February going on march....

Well met!

In my real world I had to put in order a lot of paper-things. I have not done yet...That's why my time for sewing/crocheting was very short and it will be short for at least a couple of days more.
Anyway, I managed to sew a few small spring-forerunner for the friends of my friend C, that live abroad .She will travel to see them soon, and we think to make them a little surprise...
I brought this little surprise with me here, in  the bloglittlehouse, to show you.
First, a bit of it....

 It's a dancing-heart?

 

Possibly!

I'm sure that the red-white string made my romanian guests to say: "aaaa, piece of cake!" Why?

Because at the beginning of march we (romanians) will mark the "mărtishor". I can't translate it, even it's sounds erratic...It's a  diminutive of "March" ("martie" in romanian language).Mărţişor is the symbol of spring and it is celebrate on the first of March. You will understand better if you will read more here. It's a decent abstract.
Mărtishor's shapes are very different.The red-white string is unique.   

So, let's leave talking and  begin acting:

Here is a closer look of it:

 

You guessed right?

What is it?

Don't steal a glance at the next photo!

Ok, now look:

It's obvious isn't it?

 I mean, how can you wear it?

Just like this!

 

To wear this little mărtishor-bracelet you need help, because you can't tie it in a bow with one hand, isn't it?

Soooo, you need somebody to help you....Somebody  that you like to be around you.....And maybe somebody who likes to be around you......You get it?  

I've created it having in mind to make a delicate love and care spring-talisman from all points of view....

Here are those that I hope will  bring the spirit of spring to the away friends.

 

 

 Good trip!

Hopping the snow storm from outside to finish soon, I wish you all

Have a beautiful day!

It's snowing!

Hello,hello!
I'm back!

I was working on a present for someone who was .... years old. A very special Lady. It was impossible for me to concentrate my self on something else! I wanted very, very much to make a special thing. Something from the bottom of my hart. I'm not sure that it turned out well. It's a bead embroidery which now is at the shop for framing. Maybe I will show you, finished.

For the moment, just steal a look at a piece of it:

The only break on my work was a few hours spent on a traditional fair organized on the St. Nicholas day (6th of December) at the Peasant Museum. There were a lot of artists exposing and selling the most different and wonderful objects. I couldn't help buying some carefully made little things.

Look at them:

    Do you like them?

In the next posts I will show you more. I have prepared a few photos for the posts from around the Christmas.

Now, when I'm writing this lines, it is snowing like in fairy tales! It's the first really snow of this winter. It started this morning and now we have already a really woolly snow carpet.It starts to look like Christmas....

I'm really, really glad....I am thrilled with joy!

It's the only period of winter when I want to snow. I don't like the winter because of the cold, but  at Christmas and New Year I like to have a whole lot of snow.

So, even my car is happy under his fluffy coat

Just after I took this picture, when I turned my back, returning inside, I looked around and I saw a young man expressing his after-glow.

Look the sequel:

What do you think?

Do you like or dislike the winter?

;o))

It was good to be back with you in my little bloghouse!

I hope for you, too!

I'm going back to work, now. Lots of projects in my mind....

Have a beautiful day!
