2016. algus tõi käredad miinuskraadid ja koheva lumevaiba! Lõpuks ometi tuli tali meie õuele :) Uue aasta alguses tegime oma esimese matka Keila-Joa pargis RMK loodusrajal. -12 kraadi ehmatas alguses päris ära, aga otsustasime mitte alla anda ja tee lõpuni käia.
Viltisin ja tikkisin õele jõuludeks poti-kannu-soojendaja. Kudusin spetsiaalse lõngaga lõpptulemusest 1,5 korda suurema mütsi moodi toru ja lasin pesumasinal kogu viltimise ära teha. Kindlaks sooviks oli tikkida kollaseid lilli, sirvisin veidi L.Kirstu "Muhu tikandit" ja leidsingi kullerkupud. Tikkimine ei ole veel minu tugevaim külg...aga sellegipoolest naudin igat nõelapistet :)
Imelist uut aastat täis loomingut ja meelerahu!

The beginning of 2016 brought us icy weather and fluffy snow carpet! Finally it's winter :) We went for a little hike on the Keila-Joa RMK nature trail - minus 12 degrees startled at first but we decided not to give in and walked the whole trail.
I felted and embroidered a pot-and-can-warmer for my sister's Christmas present. I knitted hat shaped thingy that was 1.5 times the size of the final result with a special yarn. I had a certain wish to crochet yellow flowers so I browsed through "Muhu embroidery" by L. Kirst and found globeflowers. Embroidering is not my strong side yet..but nevertheless I enjoy each stitch :)
Have a wonderful new year filled with creativity and peace of mind!

Leidsin kapist ühe kampsuni, mis on koostiselt lausa fantastiline: 50% vill ja 50% angoora ! Ent väljanägemine oli üsna ilmetu, seega tuli seda veidi tuunida. Pinterestist sain idee veidi kevadlilli oma kampsile tikkida, mõeldud tehtud ja tulemusi on näha fotodel. Materjaliks puuvillane niit (paremini oleks sobinud muidugi villane), mida mul kodus suurtes kogustes.
Kevad on lõpuks ometi käes, kõik rohetab ja õitseb, tänavatel on magus jasmiini ja sireli hõng! Veel veidi koolitööd ja puhkus võib alata ! :)

I found a cardigan from my stash, which has a superb consistency: 50% wool and 50% angora. But sadly it had a blank appearance, so I had to tune it a bit.  I searched the ideas from Pinterest and decided to embroider some spring flowers on my cardigan. I used a cotton thread (woolen thread would have suited better), which I have loads of.
Spring has finally arrived, everything is getting greener and blossoms are blooming, there is sweet aroma of yasmine and lilac in the air. A little more schoolwork and vacation can begin! :)

Valmis sai vildist kannusoojendaja, millele tikkisin hääbepistes suure mooni, mille mustri leidsin Leida Kirstu Muhu tikandi raamatust. Lume saabumise auks tegime Kalamaja pargis fotosessiooni ja jäädvustasime selle iluduse pildile. Mõni aeg tagasi kaunistasin klassi akent lumehelveste ja baleriinidega, mille idee leidsin koduhaldjas.blogspot.com blogist. Veel üks nädal ja algab jõulupuhkus ! Juba on peetud ka esimene jõulupidu koos kursaõdedega, valmistasin neile selleks puhuks sidruni-valge shokolaadi kreemi. Nii palju ettevalmistusi on veel vaja teha, nädal enne jõule on sagimist täis!
PS! Ma võitsin imeilusa kaelakee Advendikalendri loosist  A butterfly in my hair blogist !

I finished the felted pot warmer. I embroidered a large poppy on it in filling stitch. I found the pattern in the Muhu embroidery book by Leida Kirst. On the honor of the arrival of the snow we took pictures of the beauty. A little while ago I decorated the class window with snowflakes and ballerinas. I found the idea from koduhaldjas.blogspot.com. One more week until Christmas vacation! We already threw the first Christmas party with my coursemates. I prepared a lemon and white chocolate cream for them in that occasion. I still have to do many preparations and the week before the holidays is full of action!
PS! I won a delightful necklace from an Advent Calendar giveaway in A butterfly in my hair blog!
