FINALLY !


I finished the socks ! I was making and re-making but finally I learned and they even look like socks :)

Better late than never....


So Easter has come ...and gone... All of them ;)
So here is a little memories of our little Easter celebration at home. So one of the Easter traditions in Poland is to decorate eggs. There are many different techniques. There is painting, there is painting with wax there is a simple boiling in onion peals (or red onion peels or spinach) and they can be later scratched with a sharp tool. i usually do the onion peels and then scratch but this time I went for wax pattern and ten staining, using a commercial dye. And I made a little hen :) and we borrowed a black sheep and a golden bunny from Lind ! Ah and the spider web like patter this in an egg which shel broke so I broke it a bit more and deeped in a dye and then peel :)

Our little garden





So we started a very little garden on our balcony this spring :) it took "ages" for the seeds to germinate ! but when they finally did they picked up on growing quite fast. Now they are happily growing bigger and bigger. Even the chili decoded to show up eventually! so we have lattice and coriander and basil and chives. we hope for the best. We even put a little sliver of ginger into a pot we will see how it comes up!
