Goodbye, Tobi. / Zbogom, Tobi.

  Today is a sad day for us. We had to say goodbay forever to our 7 years old dog Tobi. He passed away tonight. We have discovered he was seriously ill oly this Monday and he's already gone...
  Danes ni ravno srečen dan za nas, saj smo se morali za vedno posloviti od našega 7 let starega psa Tobija, ki je ponoči odšel v "večna lovišča". Šele v ponedeljek smo ugotovili, da je zelo bolan, danes pa ga ni več ...

  Goodbye, Tobi ... we'll be missing you.
  Zbogom, Tobi ... zelo te bomo pogrešali.

YAY, My First Blog Award! / Jupi! Moje prvo blogersko priznanje

 
  What a nice surprise waited for me on Therese's blog - she chose me for the Newbie Blogger Award: A favorite new blog with less then 100 followers and less then a year old. I'm speechless!!! Thank you, Therese!
  Na Theresinem blogu me je čakalo prav prijeto presenečenje, saj me je izbrala za Newbie Blogger Award: Najljubši bog z manj kot 100 spremeljevalci, ki je mlajši od enega leta. Kar brez besed sem ostala!!! Hvala, Therese!

Here's what she said about me:
I chose Alenka of Pepita-Handmade blog.  Alenka lives in Slovenia and she started her blog in June of this year.  She is a polymer clay artist that has also just recently picked up bead weaving and is loving it.  That is not uncommon for most of us that have tried bead weaving, it is very easy to get hooked. I first met Alenka this past Bead Soup Blog Party she was my friend Amy of Amybeads partner.  I love what she sent to Amy to create with and after visiting her blog I decided to follow her. Alenka has also signed up for mine and Christine's " A Time To Stitch 2" challenge I can not wait to see what she has created for the challenge.

 O meni je napisala tako:
Izbrala sem Alenko od Pepita Handmade bloga. Alenka živi v Sloveniji in je začela pisati blog junija letos. Ustvarja iz polimerne gline in v zadnjem času se je lotila tudi šivanja perl, ki ji je zelo všeč. To ni nič nenavadnega za večino od nas, ki smo poskusile šivanje perl, saj te lahko zelo hitro "potegne". Alenko sem prvič srečala ob zadnjem Bead Soup Blog Party-ju, saj je bila partnerica z mojo prijateljico Amy od Amybeads. Zelo mi je bilo všeč, kar je poslala Amy in po obisku njenea bloga sem se odločila, da ga spemljam. Alenka se je prijavila tudi na moj in Christinin izziv "A Time to Stitch 2" in komaj čaka, da vidim, kaj je ustvarila za izziv.

 
 
I love Therese's beadweaving - her pieces are all beautiful, so this is a honour for me to be awarded by her :-D.
  Now I can continue with this chain and choose to award 5 people. I'm new to blogging and following the blogs so I'll need some more time ...

  Theresini izdelki so mi zelooo všeč, zato je zame prava čast, da se je odločila zame :-D
  Zdaj lahko tudi jaz nadaljujem s podeljevanjem priznanj 5 osebam. Ker pa sem še precej nova v spremljanju blogov, bom potrebovala malo več časa za izbiro ...

 

Little helpers ... or little pests? / Mala pomagača ... ali mala škodljivca?

  I love creating, even feel the need for it, and it's obvious I'm very happy when my two little boys show interest for what I do and for any kind of creativity or art. Well, ALMOST always.
 
  Sama zelo rada ustvarjam, pravzaprav je to že potreba zame, zato ni nič čudnega, če sem vesela vsakokrat, ko moja mala fanta pokažeta zanimanje za moje ustvarjanje ali katerokoli vrsto umetnosti. No, SKORAJ vedno.


  I don't have a studio, I've occupied a part of our living room putting there a table and some containers (well, there are more and more of them ;-)). The fact is that I can not lock it up and my tools and materials are always at hand - and not only for me ... That also means that occasionally there is a little surprise waiting for me.
  
  Ker nimam delovne sobe, sem za svoje ustvarjalne trenutke z delovno mizo na kolescih v dnevni sobi zasedla kotiček pod oknom in dodala še nekaj škatel (ki jih je pravzaprav vedno več :-)). Glede na to, da tega kotička ne morem zakleniti, so moji pripomočki in materiali vedno pri roki - a ne samo moji ... To pa pomeni tudi, da me vsake toliko pričaka kakšno presenečenje.


  For example, my poor (and only) Pasta machine for polymer clay had a close encounter with the red forming tool ... that left her with a permanent scarf! :-( 
    Eno tako presenečenje me je čakalo, ko je moj strojček za valjanje mase (po domače kar "pašta mašina") doživel bližnje srečanje z rdečim pripomočkom za oblikovanje ... in jo odnesel s trajno brazgotino! :-(

  And my forming tools pretended to be food, but escaped from the teeth in time not to be eaten:
  Ali ko so se moji pripomočki za oblikovanje pretvarjali, da so hrana in uspeli zbežati pred zobmi še preden so končali v želodcu:

  However, my boys' creativity goes far beyond my tools - to the forniture and the walls:
  Seveda se ustvarjalnost mojih otročkov ne omejuje na moje orodje, ampak se seli tudi na stene in pohištvo:


Ah, the bottom left figure is a mouse looking from her hole. /

 Mimogrede, levo spodaj je miška, ki kuka iz luknje.

 

  This one is also just my son's idea and execution:

  Tudi to je ideja in izvedba v celoti mojega sina:

 

  And you just can not have tears in your eyes when they make you a gift like this!!! Well, with a little help with the chain-work.

   A kako ne boš imel solznih oči, kadar ti sinček pripravi tako darilce!!! No, z malo moje pomoči pri sestavljanju rink.

   What's the point? I don't know ... and I've left their paintings on the walls (of their room only, of course) and I still let them use my tools ...
    In kaj je bistvo vsega? Pravzaprav ne vem ... vendar sem otroške umetnine na zidu pustila, kot so (seveda le v njuni sobi), moje orodje pa jima še vedno posojam ...


  Be happy!    
  Bodite veseli!
