Regardless your beliefs - here comes the time of rebirth and the beginning of new life. Spring in nature and Easter in Polish tradition. Happy Easter! Niezależnie od tego, co myślimy - nadszedł czas odrodzenia i początku nowego życia. Wiosna w naturze i Wielkanoc w naszej tradycji. Wesołych Świąt!
Easter blessings to you and yours dear friend. Think of you often. Made pierogi (cheese filling) from scratch yesterday. Researching my family ancestry on Mom's side: so far, Polish and Austrian. Blessings, Sue
Hello again after a long break! Well, I'm still working but mostly on secret projects and little or nothing to show. But now it's different - I finished this little jewel and have to share it with you immediately. The story of this "Botanical garden" started one year ago. Just after coming back from "Ziołowy Zakątek" - botanical herbal garden mentioned here many times. Witam po nieoczekiwanej przerwie! Tak to, niestety jest, gdy się pracuje nad rzeczami nie-do-pokazania-na-razie, nie ma o czym pisać :) Ale dzisiaj jest - skończyłam taki drobiazg i muszę go Wam pokazać natychmiast. Idea tego "Ogrodu botanicznego" narodziła się rok temu. Zaraz po powrocie z prawdziwego ogrodu w Zielonym Zakątku. I knew and told you that the beauty and meaning of this garden made a huge impact on me. And the idea of embroidering small botanical garden went live immediately after the return. Wiedziałam i mówiałam Wam, że urok tego ogrodu wywarł na mnie duży wpł...
Do you remember my mysterious "Old Garden" ? Now I call it finished! Next time when I start something like this, please remind me that it is not the fastest kind of work :) Pamiętacie mój tajemniczy "Stary Ogród" ? Uważam go za skończony! A następnym razem, jak się wezmę za coś takiego, przypomnijcie mi proszę, że to nie jest ekspresowa robótka :) But I have to confess - I love it! And I'm really glad that I made it. Ale przyznaję - uwielbiam go! I bardzo się cieszę, że zrobiłam coś takiego. I'm going to frame it professionally and put on a honorable place on the wall. With the pieces like this it is impossible to sell it - there's no money I would prefer to keep instead of this magical garden. It's not just the matter of the amount of time spent on this. It is more about my thoughts, some ideas and their execution, it is so much "me". Mam zamiar dać go do oprawy, a potem powiesić na honorowym miejscu. Takie rzeczy nie nada...
Ever wondered what the restaurant's backstage at wedding party looks like? I did. So here is my textile vision of such a place. Many tasteful dishes impatiently waiting for their turn, all dressed appropriately and a bit excited. The pans could easily recognize it is a wedding time by the special lighting turned on. Big chandelier spreads the golden light on everything for the bright prospect of newly-wed's life. Even the floor keeps tidy, arranging accidental rubbish into lace patterns... Let's not forget the wedding cake! I know it is just my fantasy and reality may be less charming. But... my art is to inspire and to beautify. So imagine my incredible joy when for my birthday this year I got this: With all the edible details instead of glass beads. "Dancing on many weddings" is 20.5 x 21.5 in, ready to hang on the wall. And the real cake? Well, I don't remember the size because it didn't last long enough!
