National Sweater Day

  9. unor je narodni den svetru v kanade.

Byl vyhlasen na pomoc setreni energiie. Vyziva snizit teplotu topeni o par stupnu, obleknout teply svetr a tim  usetrit energii.  Statistiky uvadeji, ze kdyby kazdy kanadan tuto zimu snizil teplotu jen o par stupnu, bylo by to stejne, jako vyradit 300.000  aut z provozu . Motto tohoto dne - conzervujte zivotni prostredi a myslete nejen na sebe ale i na dalsi generace. (  vice na webove strance  )

Turn down the heat and wear a sweater to conserve energy

On Feb 9th, put on your favorite sweater and turn the heat down a few degrees to help WWF
take action against climate change, and work toward a sustainable future.

By rethinking how we use energy and how much we use, we can make a big impact on climate change.
If every Canadian lowered the heat a few degrees this winter, it'd be like taking 300,000 vehicles off the road!  Canadian National Sweater Day


 

Vysivana sovicka dostava tvar. Nejsem zadna zdatna " vysivacka "  :)  snad to dobre dopadne!  Vysledek vam ukazu po dokonceni celeho projektu :)

My embroidered owl is taking shape. I am not that good at embroidery :) but hopefully,  I can show you the finished project soon.

 Skoro dokoncene detske backurky.

Almost finished baby booties.

Preji vam pohodovy zbytek tydne  a i kdyz nejste zrovna v kanade,  zkuste snizit teplotu topeni alespon na jeden den i vy.

Hope you have a great rest of the week, and even though you are not in Canada, try to lower the heat even for just one day too.

I wish.....

Dnes jsem na facebook cetla komentar jedne kamaradky o tom, jak ma napeceno, naklizeno, nazdobeno ...no proste hotovo a raduje se z vanocni pohody.  Ja jen tise zavidim, protoze nemam vubec nic, to znamena neuklizeno, nenazdobeno a nenapeceno a jak jste na tom vy?   Stale dodelavam resty, ktere jsem si dala za ukol do vanoc zvladnout. O vikendu jsme hlidali vnoucka, takze jsem neudelala vubec nic. Tedy  podarilo se mi uhackovat mu novou sovi cepicku. Vcera Neil dovezl vanocni strom a dnes jsme ho zacali zdobit ale je tak veliky, ze nam 4 snury elektrickych zarovicek vysly jen do pulky a protoze se mi uz nikam nechtelo a dalsi zdobeni muze pokracovat az kdyz jdou umistena svetylka,  budeme pokracovat zitra. Zadelala jsem si tedy alespon dve davky testa na vanocni cukrovi a naplanovala dalsi na zitrek.

I read on my friends facebook page today, that she is ready for Christmas. Everything is clean, the baking is done, the house is decorated.... I wish, I could say so too, but my reality is quite the opposite! How are you doing, are you ready for the holidays? I am trying to finish all the projects I  said I would. We babysat our grandson this weekend so nothing got done. Well, I manage to make a new owl hat for him, I can check that off of my list :) Neil got a three yesterday and we started decorating it today, but is so big that we ran out of the lights half way through and I didn't feel like going to town so we will have to continue tomorrow. I made two butches of cookie dough instead and planed to make more tomorrow.

Makeefa nova sovi cepicka
Mak's new owl hat

Makeef

 Dalsi dokoncena cepice  "Aviatrix"  z Ravelry.  Puvodne mela byt take pro Makeefa ale protoze jsem ji pletla poprve a  jinou vlnou nez si zada popis, je velka i me a tak ji radostne " zabavil " Neil :))

Another finished hat  " Aviatrix "  from Ravelry. It was supposed to be for Makeef as well, but because I made it for the first time and picked up just random wool I had at home instead of following the pattern it is big even for me and so Neil is happy to have a new hat :))

Dalsi skoro dokoncene dilko. Zminovala jsem se o tomto projektu pred rokem   tady a konecne se dopracovala k jeho realizaci. Neil me musel upravit podstavce ze svicnu a nalepit prkenka na syr (se sklenenym poklopem). Vse jsem nakoupila za "babku' v sekaci. Ted uz jen natrit, Neil se priklani k cerne barve a ja uz je v duchu vidim v bilem, tak uvidime.....

Another project that is almost finished. I blogged about it  a year ago  here and It's finally happening. Neil had to glue the candle holders to the cutting boards and now, I just have to paint them. He likes the black color and I like white. I guess will see.....

Vanocni inspiraci najdete na me virtualni nastence na Pinterest.

Thank you for visiting, enjoy the rest of the week.

Valentyn se kvapem blizi a tak se treba nechate inspirovat temito obrazky a udelate si venecek. Predstavivosti se meze nekladou, staci se doma poohlednout a venecek z papirovych pytliku, z prouzku latky, z filtru do prekapavace na kavu nebo treba papirovych kosicku na muffiny je na svete.

Valentines is approaching fast, maybe you get inspired by these images and make yourself a wreath. You can let your imagination soar, look around your home and wreath from lunch bags, fabric strips, coffee filters or muffin cups is created.
