I'm working on several craft projects at a time - there are always more ideas, wishes and needs than time and capability. This time I've decided to play with various crochet motives. Here you can see a flower and beginning of a butterfly. Now, in the cold season I feel I need to make them of warm wool. If there was summer I would have made them of cotton yarn. So now they will sit either on curtains, cushions, wall decor or bedspread warm and fluffy.
Nākamais projekts jau ir praktiskākas dabas - no bildes nevar saprast, kas tas ir, tāpēc pačukstēšu, ka ceru no tā dabūt gatavu siltu, dubultkārtu bērnu cepuri - tādu, kuru velk pāri galvai un kas vienlaikus pilda arī šalles funkcijas. Darba vēl daudz, jo uzadīta tikai cepures oders.
The next craft project is more of the practical nature - as it might be impossible to guess what it is when looking at the picture, so I will tell - I hope it would turn into warm, double-layer children winter hat that functions as a scarf in the same time. There is really much to do yet, this what you see is just an inner layer.
Tas nu par rokdarbiem, bet vēl viena mīļa nodarbe man ir dārzkopība. Cik nu dzīvoklī tas iespējams. Lielākā daļa siltumu mīlošo augu no lodžijas ir pārnesti istabā, un daži no tiem turpina ražas sezonu - kā, piemēram, ķiršu tomātiņi.
That was about crafts. However the gardening is also a favorite activity of mine. Taking into account that I am restricted by the fact I live in a city apartment. Most of the warmth-loving plants have been brought indoors and some of them continue to give harvest - like, for instance, this cherry tomato.
I'm trying to grow also some supplies for my green smoothies. One way how to get organic and mineral and vitamin rich greens for the smoothies in winter and in a city apartment is to sow them densely, grow 10-15cm high and then cut and blend together with fruits or berries into a healthy, delicious smoothie. Traditionally it would be wheat or oat grass. However there is one more wonderful option - hemp. So I have sown them and now they have sprouted. Only some days to wait till harvest.
Kamēr noņēmos ar ēdamajiem augiem, tikmēr kāds cits, neēdams, man sagādāja patiesu pārsteigumu. Es laiku pa laikam ielūkojos Depo nocenoto augu plauktos meklējot pērles. Reiz atradu pavisam nobeigušos orhideju, bez saknēm, un gandrīz par velti. Mājās tai nogriezu visas nokaltušās un nopuvušās saknes, uztupināju uz mitra orhideju substrāta, noliku siltā gaišā vietā. Tā sāka atkopties, izauga jaunas saknītes, sāka arī augt jaunas lapas. Un tā nu es par to aizmirsu, tikai laiku pa laikam aplēju substrātu lai neiekalst. Un tā, kādā jaukā dienā atradu šo -
While I was busy with edible plants, an inedible one really surprised me. From time to time I go to the discount section of the plant store to see if I might find some 'jewels'. Once I bought almost dead orchid, it cost nearly nothing because its roots where all gone and leaves wrinkled. At home I cut all the deat roots (all the roots!) and put it on a orchid substrate in a glass jar in a warm and well lit place. It got better gradually, the new roots grew and some new leaves appeared and I almost completely forget about it. And one day I found this -
