Sünnipäevakuu / Birthday month

Dawnbreeze

Mai on mu sünnipäevakuu ja seega ka mu lemmikkuu üldse! :) Mais hakkavad õitsema mu lemmiklilled nartsissid, mais on ilmad juba päris soojad ja mai on kevade kõige ilusam kuu.
Tavaliselt tehakse sünnipäevalapsele kingitusi. Mulle väga meeldib kingitusi saada! :) Aga veel rohkem meeldib mulle teistele kingitusi teha. Kingi tegemine on minu jaoks alati suur protsess. Ma tahan alati teha kingituse, mis saajale meeldib, loomulikult, ning ma tahan, et see asi ka kuidagi mind ennast saajale meenutaks. Ehk siis kingitus võiks olla personaalne ning vastaks kingisaaja soovidele-vajadustele.
Sel nädalal on kõigil ülihea võimalus saada natuke rohkem teada minust endast ning võita üks minu käsitsi tehtud CD albumitest. Album mahutab 10 plaati, kaaned on linasest kangast, millele on tikitud eesti rahvusmustreid. Vaata Paper in Style blogis intervjuud minuga ning osale loosimises.

Loosimine toimub 8. mail, minu sünnipäeval. Head loosiõnne! :)

May is my birthday month and so it's my favorite month of the year! :) In May daffodils, my favorite flowers, will bloom, in May the weather is really warm already and May is simply the most beautiful spring month.
Usually when you have a birthday, people bring gifts to you. I love to receive presents! :) But even more I love making presents to others. It's a huge process for me. I want to make a gift, that will please the receiver, of course, and I want it to remind me to the receiver. So, my presents are personal and are accourding to receivers wishes and needs.
At this week you all have a great oportunity to receive a gift from me and find out some little details about me. I'm giving away one of my CD albums. Album fits 10 CDs and covers are made of linen and embroidered with Estonian folk embroidery. Check into Paper in Style blog to read my interview and take part in a give away.
Winner will be picked randomly on May 8th, which is my birthday. Good luck! :)

Värvid / Colors!

See oli üks lõbusamaid pildistamisi! :) Nii palju värve ja mul on nii hea meel, et see töö tehtud sai! :)

Seni olid kõik mu tikkimislõngad ühes kotis suht puntras. Olen proovinud neid üht ja teist pidi sättida, et oleks hea ülevaade värvidest, palju midagi on, kas hakkab otsa saama jne. Kadri andis mulle aga hea mõtte, kuidas oma lõngadest hea ja ilus ülevaade saada. Terve eilse õhtu veetsin patse punudes :)

It was one of the gratest photoshoots I've done :) So many colors and I'm so glad that the job is done now! :)
So far all my embroidery flosses were in one plastic bag. Kind of a mess. I've tried to organise them one way or other, but it hasn't worked very well. Kadri gave me a wonderful idea, how I'll get a great overview what I have. Yesterday I spent all evening braiding :)

Flickr Favorites - Spring is coming... some day :)

Kell on keeratud ja kalendri järgi on ka kevad nagu käes ja no õues on ju ka juba soojem. Aga tahaks, et see lumi juba ära kaoks, no tõesti kohe päris ära kaoks!
Ma nii igatsen juba pajuutusid ja nartsisse!

Clock is turned, it's spring by calendar and ok, it's getting warmer outside. But I really-really wish this snow to go away, I mean AWAY for real!
I miss spring sooo much and my favorite flowers daffodils!

Flickr Favorites - Fresh start

Minu elus on toimumas suured muutused. Tänane mosaiik sümboliseeribki uusi väljakutseid ning tulevasi sündmusi mu elus. Pühendun rohkem joogale, sel suvel abiellun oma armastatud mehega, arendan oma käsitöö poodi Etsys ning kohe-kohe on algamas kevad ja mu lemmiklilled - nartsissid - hakkavad varsti õitsema.
Külasta Artmindi blogi, et ka teisi Flickri mosaiike vaadata ning äkki tahad isegi kaasa mängida.

There are big changes in my life. Today's mosaic symbolizes new challenges and future events in my life. I will take more time for yoga practising, I will marry with the love of my life, I will devote more time and effort to my craft shop in Etsy and spring is almost there with my favorite flowers - daffodils.

Kevadised ja satsilised / Spring-feeling and ruffles

 Mulle meeldib vahel lihtsalt poodides ringi käiva ja rõivaid vaadata. Hiljem üritan need oma märkmikku üles joonistada. Kui ma kunagi tubliks hakkan ja rohkem õmblema hakkan, siis on kust ideid võtta. Samuti on mul arvutis kümneid kaustu erinevatelt disaineritelt-poekettidelt nende kleitidega, pluusidega, jakkidega, mantlitega, kingadega jne. Lisaks terve kaustikutäis ajakirja väljalõikeid. Kõik inspiratsiooniks. Mõni lahe värvikombinatsioon või lihtsalt üliäge disain. Keegi hiljuti ütles üliarmsalt "Mu romantikasoolikas on väga lühike". Kardan, et see kehtib ka minu kohta. Ma olen vist oma loomu poolest liiga praktiline. Mulle väga meeldib neid vaadata ja näppida, aga enda loomingus või rõivastuses kasutan vähe.
Niimoodi ringikäies sattusin ühte poodi. Poe stangedel ja riiulitel ei olnud väga vaimustavaid asju, aga leidsin laualt kataloogi, mis oli täis imelisi asju. Jätsin nime meelde ning kodus toksisin nime sisse. Leidsin omale uue lemmiku :)
Ei tea, millest see küll viimasel ajal on, aga kipun jube kergesti armuma :)

Sometimes I just like to walk and shop with my eyes in different shops. Later I try to scetch some designs into my notebook. One day, when I'm a good girl and start to sew for myself more, I have a great inspiration book. I have dozens of files in my computer with different designers and collections outfits. Also a scetchbook with magazine cutouts. All are giving me an inspiration. A cool color combo or just a supercool design. I'm not very romantic in my creations and clothings. I really love to watch such things, but I don't use this line much. Perhaps I'm just too practical for this.
I was surfing in some shops the other day again and found myself in this one shop. There wasn't much interesting at the shelves and on displays. But I found a catalog at the coffee table. It was full of wonderful stuff, I was really impressed. I remembered the name, went home and searched from the web. And I've found myself a new favorite. I fell in love with these designs! New file full of amazing designs.
Don't know why, but I tend to fall in love often these days :D
