A trip and a hat


Last week we went to visit my sister, who lives in Northern Romania, near a mountain resort called Vatra Dornei. And because that is about 450 kilometers away, it became a one day drive with me on the backseat of the car with my two daughters. It wasn't an easy ride, but the girls were ok.
Saptamana trecuta am fost plecati in vizita la sora mea, care locuieste in nordul tarii, in apropierea statiunii Vatra Dornei. Si pentru ca sunt cam 450 km (depinde de ruta aleasa), drumul a durat o zi intreaga. Iar eu am stat impreuna cu fetele mele pe bancheta din spate. Nu a fost o calatorie usoara, dar fetele au fost cuminti.
I wish I could say that the stay was relaxing, but with three kids with ages between 1 and 3 (my daughters and my niece) it's anything but relaxing. Actually, it was a lot of fun. The girls haven't seen each other in quite some time, and they were really happy to be together again.
As vrea sa pot spune ca vizita a fost una relaxanta, insa cu trei copii (fetele mele si nepotica) cu varste intre 1 si 3 ani, poate fi oricum, numai relaxant nu. De fapt, a fost chiar distractiv. Fetele nu se mai vazusera de ceva timp si erau fericite sa fie din nou impreuna.
I did manage to find time for myself, especially in the morning before the kids got up, drinking my coffee and admiring this view from the living room window and dreaming one day we'd build our own house.
Totusi, am reusit sa gasesc putin timp si pentru mine, mai ales dimineata inainte ca copiii sa apuce sa se trezeasca, cand totul era cufundat in liniste, iar eu imi beam cafeaua admirand privelistea pe geamul din sufragerie si visand la casuta pe care ne dorim si noi sa ne-o construim. 


And of course I had to crochet something! And because my niece is turning 2 in a couple of weeks, I wanted to make something special that would complement her beautiful blue eyes, playful smile and golden locks. And thus I came up with this, a cheerful spring hat, named after my beloved niece.
Si bineinteles ca a trebuit sa crosetez ceva! Si pentru ca nepotica mea implineste 2 anisori peste cateva saptamani, am vrut sa fac ceva special pentru ea, ceva care sa-i evidentieze frumosii ei ochisori albastri, zambetul jucaus si carliontii blonzi. Si astfel am realizat o caciulita de primavara plina de veselie, pe care am numit-o dupa nepotica mea iubita.


And here is the owner enjoying her early present. Her smile really made my day!
Iar aici este posesoarea bucurandu-se de cadoul timpuriu. Zambetul ei chiar mi-a infrumusetat ziua!



 The hat was inspired by the pattern found here. I couldn't understand the instructions, but I used Google Translate and took a close look at the pictures and I think I can say that the end result turned out just fine.
Caciulita am facut-o dupa modelul gasit aici . Nu am inteles instructiunile, dar am folosit Google Translate si am studiat cu atentie imaginile si cred ca pot spune ca rezultatul final a fost unul minunat.

I wish you all a beautiful spring day!
Va doresc tuturor o zi de primavara minunata!
