Vernal Equinox

Hello,hello, my dear readers!
How are you?

Springtime has arrived at last, it is no doubt!
We passed even trough the vernal equinox!
Today I'm glad that the weather is friendly.
The sun is shining and the sky is clear.
It's a warm and cheerful weather...
Maybe this time Spring is back for good...

I managed to finish one of my in progress projects. This time it is one from my yarns basket.


I made this pillow case little by little in the winter mornings, during my coffee indulgence breakfast, wishing for the springtime. That's why I named it "Spring Sunshine".
Here I uploaded a few other photos of the same crocheted category. I must confess that due to Lucy, my recent retrieved hobby is to crochet. Granny squares. With the most cheerful colors.
I found that it is another wonderful way to train the creativeness and to make all kind of useful things.And to fill those moments of the day or night when the mind or soul don't let you make something else....
What do you think about that?...

Well, that is all for now!

I rush now to do some house cleaning, because to many things around here remind us of winter!

Enjoy the Spring!

Have only beautiful days!

Come Spring, Come!!!

Because Spring changed its mind and let Winter to get back to us, I choose to touch up my window-little-garden with the well known Primulas.


As often as I go to the supermarket I look for flowers department and nine times out of ten I come home with bulbs, seeds or pots with flowers. I mean, plants with flowers; I don't like the plants only with leaves.Well... I like some, but only those growing in the traditional gardens.
I think that plants with flowers are the same as gems jeweleries.If  I would have to choose between two rings, undoubtedly I would choose the gem one.Even my wedding ring has gems all around...


Now that I clarified this very important issue, probably you will understand why I chose  flowers motifs for the shopping bags I'm working on. I hadn't time to take more photos.





When I will finish them I will try another kind of bags. The patterns are from here.A very well illustrated and explained  patterns.

Well, for the time being I wish you to

Have only beautiful days!

Welcome Spring!

...And it came March 1st!
Slowly, slowly, the Spring makes its appearance.
Outdoors in the backyards or in the gardens, the snowdrops raised their little white heads.
Indoors, from their protective pots, the hyacinths and tulips cheers us with their fresh colors and their delicate fragrance.



Even if the weather was miffed I was to the Peasant Museum to see and buy mărtzishoare.




There were people from many regions of the country to expose and sell their little spring symbols. I chosen a few wooden and ceramics ones.

I liked these symbols:





Do you recognize their signification?


There are for you, all of my guests!


Have a beautiful, cheerful, inspiring spring!

Romanian heritage in a hurry

Don't worry about my today title!
It is not follow up by an ethnological lesson.I don't want to bore you.
I will only show you what I have made lately.
One of my passions is Romanian traditional art. I'm really in love with textile objects, especially.But my eyes prospect instinctively for popular patterns everywhere. 
At odd moments, I have been started to digitize a few old traditional cross stitching embroidery patterns.
 
 I did well only a few. I'm working on between other projects....
Yesterday I received at the last moment, a birthday celebration invitation for tonight.I was surprised by it so, the big problem was the gift!
Because the time was so short I look in my "Emergency Embroiderable T-shirt  Fund" and I was lucky to find one with the fitted size.
I decided to do some appliquees and I used 4 denim patches.
I embroidered on each of them a square from my little cross stitching-library.


I used my new pinking rotary cutter to crop the 4 squares.

 

and then I sewed all 4 in place.
Like this:

 
The uneven distance between them is deliberated


The folk T-shirt is done!

 

Now I can prepare myself  for a good look....


Have a beautiful day, to you all!
