A little post

I managed to finish the gift for the Spring Game.

 

  

 

I made it especially for the person whose address I received from Csilla.I don't know her.

I hope that she will like it.

Tomorrow I will send it trough the post.

To whom?.....

I'm not allowed to say it now!

Have a beautiful day!

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!

A special giveaway ....... Spring Game(Joc de primavara)........

Outside is snowing for about 30 hours.

Inside,in Blogland, people are very active. 

The subject of this post is short and sweet: 

In a full of snow February 

Geta has a special giveaway. Just take a look!

and

Csilla is organizing a Spring Game.

I will participate.
For the first time!
What pretty thing I will make?
I'm thinking...................

Have a beautiful (snowy) 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!

January things

I know, I was out quite a long time.
Actually I have been inn, but not in the little bloghouse, only in the little real-house.
And I worked.
Indeed!
Look what I have made:

I chosen some cherry fabrics

I made a few designs and calculations

 

I cut and stitched...
And look what it came out:

 

Then I looked carefully at it and it seemed to me to be a page of a coloring book...

Again I cut, I stitched.... But before putting together the front with the back side of the cushion, I colored a little, the front side. Just a little bit...

As colored pencils I took a few threads

 

 And I began to color. I mean embroider:

Here

and there

here

and there

and so on.......

At the end resulted a cute colored cushion:

And so, the both cushions are done!

 

I am continuing.....
I will be back soon (I hope) with news.

Till then,

Have a beautiful day!

Happy New Year!

Here we are in 2010! In a deep foggy juicy weather.
It's the first day of this new year and I am glad. But I am sad too...
I'm glad because 2009 is gone.It was a-not-so-good-year for me, for us.I don't want to remember why, because I am here, in my bloghouse, where the bad things are not allowed!
I'm sad, well...just a little sad, because one more year is tripping me away from the milestone marked with the number 50 on my life way...
I'm glad because I feel that my real age, my inner-age, has nothing in common with my official-age and I have and I can so much to do yet...
I'm sad because I didn't find the way to be more efficient, to do much, to embody more of my ideas, to better organize myself....
I'm glad that my people (my family) are in good shape and my son, V. is still a great guy...
I could continue that way on and on, but I think I confused you enough...
All in all, let's hope that more of our  prospects (mines and yours, my guests) will become true and we will be in good health to do more good things in 2010!
Let's hope that at the end of 2010 we will have a great sized bunch of  accomplishments and more good friends!

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL YEAR!
