Zaroven se omlouvam, ze jste si museli na vyhlaseni vyherce tak dlouho pockat. Bohuzel zacatek letosniho roku zacal ve smutecnim tonu. V pondeli, po kratke nemoci, zemrela Neila maminka Elsie. Uzasna zena, ktera nam bude chybet!

My apologies for the giveaway winner announcement delay. Our new year started on the sad side, Neils mom Elsie passed away this Monday after a short illness. She was a wonderful lady and she'll be greatly missed!

Merry Christmas

 

Cely dum  jeste spi a ja mam vedle sebe velky hrnek caje, vanocni cukrovi a na kline pocitac abych vam konecne poprala vesele vanoce. Tak tedy, krasne svatecni dny, plne pohody a lasky,  stul plny dobrot a nadherne chvilky stravene z rodinou a prateli.

The whole house  is still sleeping,  I am sitting on the couch with a cup of tea and a plate of Christmas cookies next to me with my laptop on my lap so I can finally wish you happy holidays!! Hope you are having wonderful time, enjoying the festivities,  relaxing and visiting with family and friends.

 Vsechny vas po delsi odmlce zdravim. Pri psani  jsem si vzpomela na Miroslava Donutila a jeho "porad se neco deje" coz by byl asi prihodny nazev pro dnesni  prispevek :)  Starsi syn oslavil minuly mesic dvacate narozeniny.  Jak tech 20 let silene rychle uteklo, vsechno nejlepsi Michael!   Musim podotknout, ze on i jeho mladsi bratr Dominik jsou hudebne nadani a tak jsem se ani moc nedivila, kdyz vyslovil prani vlastnit housle. Oba hraji na kytaru, klarinet, piano a dalsi instrumenty, ktere jim padnou do ruky a tak ted posloucham take fidlovani.

Hello my friends, time just flies and I've been extremely busy these past few weeks. We celebrated my older son's birthday last month. I can't believe he is twenty already - Happy Birthday Micheal!  He, like his brother, is very musically incline, they play guitar, clarinet, piano and whatever they can get their hands on, so I wasn't surprised when he  expressed his interest to play violin.

 

 Michael a jeho nove  housle.

 Dominik, si mezitim stacil vykloubit rameno. Tady uz se na pohotovosti usmiva, potom, co mu doktorka bezbolestne, novou technikou, kloub usadila zpatky. Mel stesti, jak nam vesele prozradila, protoze byl prvni, na kterem si ji ( tu techniku) vyzkousela. Udajne to z kolegou zhledli na You Tube na jejich predesle smene :) Musim  rict, ze to opravdu bylo jednoduche, kloub zapadl na sve misto bez nasili a dalsiho zraneni tkane, ke kteremu casto dochazi. Ted ho ceka 5 tydnu rehabilitace a tri mesice doleceni. Sedm lidi z deseti pry skonci  na operacnim stole, protoze nedodrzi dobu leceni.

Dominik dislocated his shoulder. Here, he is already smiling after the doctor reset it. She used a new technique for the first time. She informed us that she watched it on You Tube the previous shift. No pulling, stretching or further damage to the tissue,  it worked like a charm. So he has five weeks of rehab ahead of him and then three more months to heal. The physio guy told us that seven out of ten people and up on the operating table, because they don't follow the healing procedure.

We still use the old ones at the table, that's why I am working  in batches. Even though I bought good paint with primer in it,  it still takes three coats  to have a nice finish.

I entered " recycling  do over"  giveaway at Iva's. Check out her blog, her painting are beautiful and her blog inspiring.

Nakrcnik - Cowl

Konecne jsem si upletla nakrcnik! Mela jsem to v planu uz od minule zimy ale nejak jsem ten plan stale odkladala.Nevim proc,z tluste prize byl upleteny behem dvou veceru a to jen diky tomu,ze jsem si vybrala tenhle vzorek a tak jsem pri pleteni stale pocitala ocka.

Finally I made a cowl for myself. I planed to make one last winter but I was putting it off. I don't know why, using a thick wool it was done in two evenings and that's only because I chose a pattern which I had to count throughout the whole work.
