Nu-mi vine sa cred cat de repede trece timpul! Maine e deja Ziua Indragostitilor, cel putin varianta importata. Eu una am de gand sa sarbatoresc si Valentine's Day si Dragobetele nostru. There's no such thing as too much love!
Usually, on every special occasion I would stare in shops looking for the perfect gift for the intended person. And every single time I would get home a few hours later, after going through all the shops I could think of (thank God we live in a small town!) with no present, or with one that I wasn't 100% sure it was the right one, or rarely with one I liked. So, starting with last Christmas, I took the brave decision to make all the gifts (or most of them) with my own two little hands and thinking of the person they are destined to. After all, what better present than the one made from the heart?
In mod normal in fiecare an, cu fiecare ocazie speciala ma holbam prin magazine dupa diverse cadouri, cautandu-l pe cel perfect pentru persoana careia ii era destinat. Si de fiecare data ajungeam acasa dupa cateva ore de plimbat prin toate magazinele care-mi treceau prin cap (norocul meu ca locuim intr-un oras mic) ori fara cadou, ori cu unul de care nu eram 100% convinsa ca e ceea ce trebuie, ori cu cadoul potrivit, dar asta in extrem de putine cazuri. Asa ca incepand cu Craciunul trecut am trecut la fapte marete - pe cat posibil, cadourile sa fie facute de manutele mele, cu gandul si sufletul la cei carora le sunt destinate. In fond, ce alt cadou este mai frumos decat acela daruit din tot sufletul?
With taht in mind and because there still is a little time left until tomorrow (and enough until Dragobete) I want to share with you what I made for these days filled with love.
Acestea fiind spuse si pentru ca inca mai avem putin timp pana maine si suficient de mult pana la Dragobete, va impartasesc ce am mesterit eu pentru aceste zile pline de dragoste.
If you want to make them yourself, this is an easy project and it doesn't take long; you can find the instructions for the hearts here, and you can then decorate them after your own liking. In case you wonder, I used Schachenmayr - Catania mercerized cotton and a 2.5 mm crochet hook for all crocheted parts. To decorate the hearts, beside the crocheted flowers and butterflies I used bows, small buttons and beads.
Daca vreti sa daruiti si voi ceva facut cu propriile maini si va place sa crosetati, acesta e un proiect simplu si destul de rapid; aici gasiti instructiunile in limba engleza si cateva imagini ajutatoare pentru realizarea inimioarelor, pe care apoi le puteti decora dupa propriul plac. In caz ca va intrebati, eu am folosit bumbac Schachenmayr - Catania si croseta de 2,5 mm atat pentru inimioarele propriu-zise, cat si pentru floricele si fluturasi. Pentru decorat am mai folosit fontite, nasturi mici si margele de diferite culori.Happy crocheting!
Sa aveti spor si inspiratie!
