Hola España! - vacation 2011

Next saturday I will go to Spain for 3 weeks! Barcelona, Madrid, Tarragona, Reus river and course the sea! I never was there before.

I must excuse that all my shops on Etsy and DaWanda are closed from 1 to 28 February 2011. If you need to contact me you can still send me a message, I will check my inbox as often as possible.

my workspace

I'm translating some texts, have much work. My lovely cat works with me :)

greetings from Spain

My happy birthday is coming soon. I have got sunny greetings from my sister. She left Estonia in August and now live in Miami Platja, Tarragona of Spain. The greetings card is so cute! I didn't ever seen so very beautiful cards before. Also I get the ear-phones with microphone and can use the Skype. And a lot of chocolate too, of course! Many thanks to Ann and Leon :)

printable recipe cards

These are my best recipes :) They look ugly, I know. One day I tried to write them over to a notebook. But using the notebook is not convenient for me in a kitchen. So I searched the Google and downloaded these cute recipe cards:

I love them very much. It's easy to put the card on a refrigerator's door with a small magnet and prepare some tasty dish.

autumn is coming

Autumn is great time to cook jam of apples, cowberry, blackberry, cranberry and plums. I have coated jars with lovely crocheted doilies. Just like grandmother's jam in my childhood..

Finished cooking jam I have looked out from the window - there were two rainbows in the sky!

Miami Platja in Spain

My dear sister and her husband left Estonia. Forever. Two weeks ago they went to Spain. They were traveling by car 2500 miles (4000 kilometres)! They found a very beautiful town in Spain - Miami Platja, rented an apartment and today is 2nd day they live there.

Wish them good luck at their new place :)

cookies "Nuts"

We have found a great baking pan in our old barn. It is for making these tasty cookies, what look like walnuts. Inside of cookies are condensed milk with nuts. Yum-yummi! 

unloved

Today is fantastic Monday's day! I have won this lovely handmade journal from Renate - Kreativling. I can't believe it! Renate named this journal "Unloved", because nobody wanted it. I really don't know why. Look! It is beautiful, unique, handmade item!

I have never won something before in my life. Many thanks for Renate, you did my day today :) I will use this journal for my beadwork scetches. I love it so much and can't wait its arrival.

guests in our garden

Yesterday was very cold and blizzard. Some hungry animals have come to our garden. There under snow they have found last year's apples and ate them. Also they ate branches of apple-trees and cherries. That wasn't good, but roe deers were so hungry..

winter time

It's a winter in my garden. Snowy, white, silent, cute yellow apples for the birds. I love living in a little village..

publication

Here is a couple of lines about me and my studio Stitch.ee in Finnish magazine of needlework. It's exciting to be featured in an article! Really this article is about my sister Anna Gussarova and her studio Artapli. And here is a photo of Anna on a bottom of page:

Orange little

A couple days ago we have found this Orange in a cellar. He was living here for about week. Where is his owner? He was very thin, dirty and hungry. Really he is very tender and kind cat. Now we have 2 cats in my family :)
