Macaron Coin Purse

Little Coin or Macaron Purse
Мини-Кошелечек

When Yulia sent us her gifts, I found a very cute kit to make a Coin Purse.
For a while I was a little intimidated to tackle on the project. But last night I got brave and made it!
This blog helped me with the process, since my instruction is written in Japanese.
Everything is hand-sewn, with fine needle and silk thread.
Of course I made a few modifications.
I also used a little of Frey Check and Fabric Glue. 
You can see all the detail on my pictures. 
I love, love, love this little purse!!!
Thank you, Friend!

Jumper for Nicole, and more Hats

Jumped is done. Just finished with all the little details. I should admit that I could be neater with sewing on button and making a loop. Well, maybe next time.
I am happy with the result and might sew it again.
The recipient is in school.
So, here it is - 
Сарафанчик для Николеты закончен. Я должна сказать, что могла быб быть более аккуратной при пришивании пуговки и петельки. Узелки очень видны! Но не по лицу. ОК, урок на следующий раз.
Результатом я довольна, возможно сошью его еще раз.
Получатель сарафана пока в школе.
Итак, вот он -

On the Sewing Note

So, what do I sew.
Nicole got an accident in school and busted her jacket's zipper.
I was able to repair it once, but the second time around it didn't work.
I could buy a new jacket. But! I also can fix the existing one!
So, after school we went to JoAnn and bought a new zipper.
They didn't have two many color choices. I bought a beige one and dyed it at home i pink color, with RIT.
Here you go, the new zipper is basted in place. Just need to run to my sewing machine to sew it in place.
Done!

So Little Time!

Ah!
How I wish to make a choice for my knitting and go with it!
I have so many projects set aside. Want to knit a lot of things for myself, for Nicolette or my DH.
But I understand, it's the season to make hats. They are in demand! So, I work, work, work.
It does tire me up, but it does bring me satisfaction!
And knowing myself, as soon as I get less orders, I would slack and forget about my wishes to knit for family.
Vicious circle!
Do you get this one?
So, let me show you my latest work.

Wedding Was Fun

If you remember a few months ago we were going to the wedding?
My husband's niece Karen was getting married to Ralph.
Finally I could share a few pictures of that event!
Don't be fulled by pretty photos (those photographers are awesome!) - the day was cold, windy and gloomy! We were very, very, very cold. But the wedding was beautiful and fun!
Thank you for inviting us, Ralph and Karen.
Thank you for sharing your special day with us.
Wish you all the best and long, happy life together!

Work in Between

Wanted to show you what I made during knitting/crocheting my December order.
I was busy of course, but to keep myself sane, I needed some change in work.

Захотелось поделиться с вами что я успела сделать во время работы над большим заказом в декабре.
Конечно я была занята заказом, но чувствовала, что мне нужно периодически отвлекаться на что-то другое, потому что вязать одно и тоже вязать сложно.

Merry Orthodox Christmas!

Merry Christmas!
Finally, the Orthodox one!

We will keep out Christmas Tree decorated in the house and the Wreath on the door to Jan 14.
I do it every year, even though it looks strange to American people. 
Well, those who know me, understand my "unorthodox" behavior.

Веселого всем Рождества!
Наконец-то, Христианское Рождество!

Мы оставляем наряженную ёлочку в доме и венок на двери до 14 января.
Я придерживаюсь этой традиции каждый год, что наверняка не понятно американским людям.
Однако те кто знает меня, понимают эту странность.

Here is our Christmas Tree, picture taken at day and night on the 24th of December
Вот наша Рождественская Ёлочка снятая 24-го декабря, днем и ночью.

Last Year Work

I promised you to show my last year work, the big order I was working on.
I had two weeks before Christmas to finish it and send it all off on the day after Christmas.
Finished in time, balancing our busy pre-Christmas life schedule.
I used mostly acrylic yarn of a different texures, hooks and knitting needles, made Pom-Poms and polymer clay buttons myself.
Picture of a little baby in the Baby-Bowl is done my customer - Baby Face Portraits photography.
Look how tiny those newborns are!

Happy Days!

Hello to All!
Nice to see you again in a New 2013 year!
Remember to write the correct digits when writing a check or signing.
Привет Всем!
Рада снова встретится с вами в новом 2013 году!
Кстати, старайтесь не делать ошибки в написации цифр нового года при подписывании чеков! (шутка)

For last two days we were outside. in the sun, walking and exploring our neighborhood. This morning we woke up to a frost on the ground! I quickly refilled humming birds feeders. They like to stay here all Winter long.
Последние два дня мы наслаждались прекрасной солнечной погодой и всей семьей выходили на прогулки. А сегодня утром проснулись с заморозками. На траве - иней! Я первым делом быстреноко долила нектара в поилки для маленьких колибри. Они обычно всю зиму с нами проводят. Ну а потом как всегда - дела, завтрак, Николету в зимний лагерь, сама - за работу...

Today, I saw a nice and easy tutorial from Vanessa and think you might like it too.
