I’m “bugged”!

I don’t know what’s the matter with the weather. It’s nearly the end of May and the temperatures last week were like 7 degrees Celsius! I miss the buzzing of the bees, the sweet aroma of the tree blossom, the soft songs of the blackbirds, making nests in the cherry tree.
Meanwhile I’m so busy at work and at home. My mind is full of thought on Relativity theory, fish, archaeology, modern architecture, sculpture, laundry, etc. All I wanted was to sit down for a few seconds and try to put in order the mess in my head. Filled with passion for drawing, I took a sheet of paper and pencil. After spending about half an hour in search for my gouache I decided I was totally “bugged” and.. suddenly I knew what was wrong, what I’ve missed most for a few years! My favorite green cockchafers!!! I haven’t seen any of them for a long time and instead of feeling sad about it I decided to make one. It’s not as pretty as the real ones but I know it will be a good friend and a great company to listen to the rain with!

Carrots!

Yes, I haven’t posted anything in a while… almost a month… I have been working on several projects and now (finally!!!) I present my latest miniature smile – tiny cross-stitch carrots in a wooden frame. I created the carrots the day before Easter and the frames – just yesterday.

This year the Spring is weird… it’s very beautiful but there’s something strange in the air. I’ve felt the need to decorate my room with something small and sunny, something that evokes smiles and invites the Peace in my heart and my mind. I can’t wait to have a day off to finish the other carrot projects : )

 

Woolen Surprise

A week or two ago I was sick – awful cough, runny nose and so on. So I spend the time in my home-town. My Mom has brought home lovely colored woolen clew. And I immediately decided to try to make something easy, nice and funny – a woolen surprise. It’s just like the ordinary woolen beads, but the tricky part is this: when you have to cut them open, if they’re not hard enough they’ll fall apart. So, in order to have nice, tight beads, which are suitable for cutting, you have to put them in wool stiffener. Unfortunately I don’t think such thing is available in my country, so I just put them in a cup and poured boiling water : ) It worked! Then I left them to dry for a couple of days. I was so impatient, and a little bit worried if they’re going to be as nice as I’d like, but in the end the surprise was really wonderful!

Flowers and Crayons for Architects ; )

Do you remember this post: http://stonewoodgrass.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/blankets/ ? Wеll, there they are – two more pink and grey “blankets” for two lovely ladies : ) I hope their new owners liked them as much as I enjoyed making them.

Poly-holiday!!! And a Present for Dad : )

It’s one of those days when everybody are excited about some kind of holiday. And I’m one of the most excited but not for the same reason. And I’ll tell you why – because it’s not double, nor triple holiday! It’s poly-holiday ; )
First of all – it’s my Dad’s birthday!!! Hooray!!!!
Second – it’s the “Day of the vines and the wine”. Cheers!
Third – it’s my Dad’s Name-day.
Forth – it’s the “Day of the archaeologists”

So, filled up with happiness (and medications for my cough ), with a cup of tea with honey (instead of glass of wine) I wish you all the best and be truly happy on this poly-holiday!!!

PS: I’m sure you can find fifth reason to celebrate ; ) <3

Blankets ;)

And.. here it is! The new winter is coming with so much ice and snow!!! Although it’s very cold and even my thoughts freeze when I’m walking down the streets, I’m so happy for every snow-flake and icicle and the splendid winter mood. Yes, I know that the town is not the best place to be right now because of all the slush and the frozen mud, but for now there’s nothing I can do about it.
The mornings are getting colder and colder and if I had cat in my accommodation it would most certainly spend the whole day in my bed, purring softly under a blanket. I love blankets – winter blankets and summer blankets, thick and thin, fluffy and non-fluffy, cotton and woolen, with snowflakes and without snowflakes. It was the fact that I’m so fond of any types of blankets I decided to make a “blanket” for my phone. And another one for the phone of one of my friends and colleagues. Do you like the “architectural blankets”? ; )

The day I started to like “pink”…

As I woke up in the morning the first thing I spotted was that another flower has blossomed. I smiled at it and start dressing for work. In the afternoon when I got back home and sneaked into my room I caught Her – a little clumsy, dancing and humming, filled with winter joy! She was so pretty, so sweet, so lovely and I (despite my dislike for “the pink” as a color) immediately fell in love with her and decided to tell you about this tiny ballerina, trying to balance with its teeny-tiny umbrella =)
