Beverleys' felted pendant

Acum citeva luni am intilnit-o , pur si simplu intimplator in magazinul hobby, pe Beverley. Ea este o englezoaica autentica, plina de sarm si voie buna. De fiecare data cind  ne intilnim , realizez ca uit complet sa fac poze :))...
Ieri am invitat-o la mine acasa pentru a lucra patchwork. Dar s-a indragostit iremediabil de masina embellisher ( de feltat ) ;)
A few months ago, I meet Beverley quite accidentaly in the hobby shop. She's an authentic Englishwoman charming and full of joy...it'a real pleasure meeting her. Every time I completely forgot to take some pictures :))) too much talking ;)
Yesterday she was invited to my home for some patchwork-time. But....she felt in love irremediable with my felting machine ;)

a fost pentru prima data ca a lucrat cu acest gen de masina....Mie imi statea inima pe atza asteptind sa aud pocnetul caracteristic al ruperii acelor - lucru inevitabil la orice incepator.Dar stiti ce ? dupa citeva minute de indicatii repetate de " intii viteza maxima, apoi misca materialul", embellisher-ul torcea ca o pisicuta alintata. Si nici macar un ac rupt. :) Are talent !
Aici e la inceput in joaca cu culorile...

For her was the very first time working with this type of machine. I had my heart strung high-up on a thread, waiting to hear in any moment that characteristic sound of broken needles - an inevitable for any beginner. But do you know something ? after some minutes of continuous indications "first high speed, then move the fabric":)), the embellisher was purring like a spoiled cat. And not even one broken needle :) She's a talent! 
Here she's at the beginning in playing with colours : 



Apoi evident ca dupa atita consum "nervos " si multa-multa consfatuire, trebuia ca obiectul feltat sa devina "ceva". Si l-am transformat impreuna intr-un pandantiv cu forma neconventionala. Rapid de tot l-am asezat pe un snur asortat si ta-daa : veselie si mindrie mare ! 
Then, obviously that after all that nervous consumption :) and a lot of talking, the felted object must become "something". And was transformed in a unconventionally shape pendant. Quickly I put it on a string and ta-daaa : big happy , proud smile !


si mai de aproape ...da! a cusut si margelutze, deci este un pandantiv mixed-media ! ce ziceti ? nu-i asa ca a facut o treaba minunata pentru un incepator care nu a mai vazut in viata ei o masina de feltat ?? mie imi place mult combinatia de culori....Cred ca, pina la urma, am sa imi fac si mie unul ;).

and closer ...yes! she even sew some beads achieving finally a mixed-media pendant! what do you say ? isn't that she does quite a nice job for a beginner that never see an embellisher in her life ? I love the colour combination....and I do think that I'll make one for myself ;)

Happy Birthday, Goldie !

La Multi Ani, Goldie! blondutza noastra a implinit, azi, 6 ani. Wow....
Happy Birthday, Goldie ! our blondie makes today 6 years....wow...


ea e mereu prezenta linga noi...in umbra racoroasa a pavilionului cind afara caldura e de nesuportat
she's always near us...in the cool shadow of the pavilion when outside is unbearable hot 


sunt momente de liniste cind nu pot face altceva decit sa rasfoiesc o revista  
there are moments when all I can do is read a magazine


si sa sorb incet dintr-un pahar racoros....
and to sip slowly a chilled glass....


si sa-mi doresc ca niste nori pufosi si albi sa apara la orizont si sa stinga vremea asta torida....
and wish for some white fluffy clouds to appear and wipe this torrid weather off...

la vie en rose

                                          Viata in roz...sau cel putin asa visez eu in ultima vreme....

cu putin albastru, stiti voi, french shabby blue ;)

Serios acum : am inceput , cam de o saptamina sa creez o noua linie de pernite pentru ace in...suporturi RECICLATE ! 
-De ce pernite de ace ? 
- Pentru ca imi plac la nebunie pernitele de ace...moi, pufoase, pastelate...
                                  -De ce RECICLATE ? .................................
Ei bine, tare mi-ar place sa citesc raspunsurile VOASTRE la intrebarea : 
-Tu de ce reciclezi ??
Va rog chiar sa imi raspundeti in sectiunea comentarii si... promit un raspuns! ;)

Serious now : I started, for a week or so, a new line of pincushions in recycled metal cans....
-Why pincushions ? ...because I love 'em :) soft, fluffy, pastels...
   -Why recycled ?..... what do you think ?....................................
 I'd love to hear YOUR feedbacks at this question : 
- Why do you recycle ?? 
Please answer me, I promise a reply.

...still bad weather...

Vremea e tot rece si ploioasa...in ultima luna au fost in total 2 zile complete cu soare....in rest e tot asa : 

The weather is still awful....in the last month we have just 2 complete sunny days....rest of the time is just like this : 

rece si vint....
cold and windy....

zilnic fac cite o plimbare prin gradina ...sufar alaturi de plantele incarcate de atita apa, grele , triste...si descopar ca , in ciuda frumusetii carcasei lor, nu pot sa-i sufar! da. melcii. Sunt cu miile in gradina, in iarba, peste tot....Mi-au mincat salatele, mazarea, capsunii, frunzele de ardei si culmea acum s-au dat si la busuioc...

 I take a daily walk through the garden...I suffer for my plants that are full of water, heavy and sad...and I discover that despite the beauty of their housing I just can't stand them! the snails! we've got thousands on garden beds, on grass, everywhere!!!! they eat my salads, peas, strawberries, peppers leves and like this is not enough, they are eating now the basil leaves....


in casa am inceput pregatirea primelor ciuperci de padure , pentru congelator....cine stie ce ne va mai aduce anul acesta ...atita ploaie si frig in luna iunie!

In the house the first forest mushrooms are being prepared for freezer...who knows what else will bring this year? so much rain and cold weather still in June...


La ultimul drum in orasul vecin am cumparat un set de clesti pentru bijuterii,  citeva dantelute de bumbac si benzi de saten....Toate devin din ce in ce mai scumpe....

At my last trip in the neighbour city I bought a set of plyers for making jewelries, some cotton laces and saten strips. All are being more and more expensive....


Inca sper ca vremea sa revina la normal , sa se incalzeasca si sa ne putem bucura macar de dudele de anul acesta....ciresele s-au dus fara sa reusim sa stringem macar o farfurie , merele sufera, capsunii sunt acri....ramin dudele...
I still hope that the weather come back to normal, to warm up and be able to take advantage at least of the mulberries...the cherries are gone ( we haven't enough even for filling a bowl ), the apples are suffering from cold and rain, the strawberries are sour and chopped by snails....all that rest are the mulberries...



Ceva trebuie sa se schimbe...
Something have to change...
