Inghetata, careva?! / Ice cream, anyone?!


“Nu-i pentru cine se potriveste, e pentru cine se nimereste” spune o vorba romaneasca. Si tare adevarata e! Suporturile de pahare de mai jos sunt ultima experienta in sensul asta. Am plecat de la baloane, asa ca am inceput sa decupez cercuri de in. Galbene, ciclam, roz pal cu mici buline albe… Ideea finala nu-mi era clara inca (nimic nou pana aici), asa ca am continuat sa decupez, punand cercurile la intamplare, pe masa.
Intr-un tarziu, imi arunc privirea catre ele, si ce sa vezi? O inghetata dulce si viu colorata imi facea cu ochiul! Voi i-ati fi putut rezista? Eu nu am reusit! I-am adaugat un cornet si-am multiplicat-o pana la sase. Sa fie si pentru prieteni! Iar la 27°C astazi, a fost numai buna!! J


Things don’t go as planned all the time, sometimes they arrange themselves. This is what an old Romanian saying teaches us. And how true it is! The coasters above are my last experience of this kind. It started with ‘balloons’ so I began cutting linen circles. Yellow, cyclamen, light pink with white polka dots…  The final idea was still unclear (nothing new so far), so I just continued cutting, putting the circles randomly on the table.
In the end, I take a look at it and what do you know? A sweet, lovely coloured ice cream sat right there, in front of me. Would you have resisted it? I couldn’t! I added it a cone and I multiplied it to six. So friends can have one too! Perfect for today, at 27°C!! J

Perne cu simboluri primordiale up-date / Pillow cases with primordial symbols up-date

Cu doua zile in urma, am finalizat o comanda de perne cu simboluri primordiale, pe maro. Maro cafea cu lapte. :-) In poza am atasat materialul folosit pentru partea din spate - un doc fin, usor elastic - precum si cele trei nuante de ata folosite la broderie. Sper sa va placa!


Two days ago, I've finished an order for brown primordial symbols pillow cases. Coffee & milk brown. :-) In the picture above, I've attached a sample of the fabric I used for the back side - a fine duck, slightly elastic - and also the three different colours of thread for the embroidery. I hope you like it!

Seria puilor de gaina / Chick series

Se-ntampla uneori, sub presiunea evenimentelelor exterioare, sa-mi fie capul plin de ganduri si idei pe care, cu toata lipsa de vocatie a scrisului, sa simt nevoia sa le astern undeva. Alteori se-ntampla sa nu am nimic de spus. Nimic, nimic!... Iar golul sa persiste zile, chiar saptamani la rand.
Acelea sunt momentele in care lucrurile pe care le cos reprezinta forma mea de exprimare. Cuvintele nerostite sau nescrise. Nascute din gol, ele, cusaturile, nu spun o poveste anume, ci lasa loc liber imaginatiei si interpretarii fiecaruia. Este si cazul broderiilor de astazi, sper sa va placa.

Zile bune sa aveti, pe curand!

 curious chick

Sometimes, because of some outer events pressure, I feel my head bursting with thoughts and ideas I have the need to lay down somewhere, in spite of  my total lack of writing vocation. Other times I happen to have nothing to say. Nothing, nothing!... And that void to hang on for days, even weeks ahead.
Those are the moments in which the things I sew represent my manner of expression. My unsaid or unwritten words. Born out of nothing, my handwork doesn't say a particular story, instead it leaves room for free imagination and interpretation. It is the case of today's embroidery, which I hope you'll enjoy.

Have good days ahead and see you soon!
