The Textile Cuisine

I know, last post was one moth ago. Oh well... But I have a good excuse - homeworks (or even houseworks). Do you remember this old post when I declared my will to participate in the "Home Is Where The Quilt Is" project? Here you see my entry :)  Wiem, ostatnia notka była miesiąc temu. No cóż... Ale mam dobre usprawiedliwienie - prace domowe (czy raczej domkowe). Pamiętacie ten stary post , w którym zapowiadałam chęć wzięcia udziału w projekcie "Home Is Where The Quilt Is" ? Oto mój domek :) I titled it "Real Homes Wear Quilts" and I know it arrived safe and sound. I also sent my entry for another contest (accepted!) but can't show it publicly yet. And working on this house resulted in some side effects :) Zatytułowałam go "Real Homes Wear Quilts" i wiem już, że bezpiecznie dotarł na miejsce. Udało mi się też wziąć udział w jeszcze jednym konkursie (i przeszłam!), ale tego nie mogę na razie pokazać. A praca nad tym domkiem ma pewne...

My today's etsy treasury was inspired entirely by the weather :) Despite our hopes for early spring winter still keeps with us. It shouldn't be a problem for someone born in February, but well, a bit of sunshine wouldn't really hurt too :) Thank you all for the B-day wishes! Seems that I'm not alone in longing for more art in my life. And look at the best gifts I received: from my daughter Moja dzisiejsza kolekcja na etsy inspirowana była całkowicie przez pogodę :) Mimo naszych nadziei na wczesną wiosnę, zima nie odpuszcza. Niby nie powinien to być problem dla kogoś urodzonego w lutym, ale cóż, odrobina słońca też by nie zaszkodziła :) Serdecznie dziękuję za urodzinowe życzenia! Wygląda na to, że nie jestem osamotniona w pragnieniu większej obecności sztuki w moim życiu. Zobaczcie najpiękniejsze prezenty jakie dostałam: od córki and the best friend of mine: i najbliższej przyjacółki: And a short trip to Prague was a great addition to my birthday celebration :...

To show you my fishes :) Here they are - in full glory. I showed them on Jariba Market and people liked them very much. I'm developing this idea so the new year at my shop will start with fishes (and hearts, of course, but that's a separate chapter). Pokazać moje ryby :) Oto one - w pełnym blasku. Pokazałam je na Jaribie i bardzo się wszystkim podobały. Cały czas pracuję nad tym pomysłem, więc nowy rok w moim sklepie zacznie się rybami (i serduszkami, oczywiście, ale to osobny rozdział). They are about 14 cms long and 6 cms wide, made out of silk and totally adorable (if I do say so myself) :) The down side of fishes and all my small etsy items is, that they didn't leave any time for making bigger pieces. So this year I didn't even make Christmas quilt for myself :( I also didn't send a single card to anybody :( But it is Christmas time. The only solution is to wish you all Merry Christmas with these small ornaments made BEFORE etsy took my whole artistic life :) ...

Here are you, my dear readers who wanted my ornaments. Oto Wy, moje drogie czytelniczki, które chciałyście moje ornamenty. And here you are rolled up :) A tu jesteście zrolowane :) And here is my hand :) A tu jest moja ręka :) Here is the first lucky one... Tu pierwsza szczęściara... ... and my hand again... ... i znowu moja ręka... ... and another lucky one! Who are you, you lucky ones? ... i druga szczęściara! Kim jesteście, szczęściary? Mystery solved, now we know everything: Potterjotter and jednoiglec , congratulations! Unfortunately you both voted for set #2 (what is so special in this set???), but Potterjotter said, she can take anything, so she will have set #1 :) So now, Potterjotter and jednoiglec it is your part - give me your addys (bewu@a21.pl) so I can mail the ornaments on 1st of December. Big thanks to everybody for taking part in my play! And here is my orchard in new configuration with newest additions :) Zagadka rozwiązana, teraz wiemy już wszystko: Potterjotter ...

This was taken yesterday on my balkony. Nasturtium in November? Yes, why not? Here, in the Textile Cuisine we are prepared for the flowers because... it is Birthday time! Yes, the first post of this blog was done on 15th of November 2009. Seems like ages to me. But I still remember my doubts about starting a blog :) And now the only thing I can think of is a big "thank you" to my readers and viewers. Thank you for your interest, support, inspiration. Without you I wouldn't be where I am. THANK YOU! And, as a grateful blogger, I prepared a little "thank you gifts" for you :) I made 2 small sets of Christmas ornaments exclusively for you. If you want them, just leave me a comment under this post with a number of set you would like to have. Here they are: To zdjęcie zrobiłam wczoraj na balkonie.Nasturcje w listopadzie? Jasne, czemu nie? Tutaj, w naszej Textile Cuisine jesteśmy przygotowani na kwiaty ponieważ... mamy Urodziny! Tak, pierwszy post w tym blogu pojawił ...
