Hobotničasta jastučnica / Octopus Pillow

Octopus Pillow

Ljeto je stiglo, nema se vremena kao po zimi,

koristim minute prije spavanja za pokazati neke ljetne kreacije.

Danas je to jastučić na hobotnicu.

Ustvari, jastučića su dva, jedan za Jakova i jedan za Tonija.

Summer is here, I am busy busy busy,

I will be using this minutes before going to bed to show you some summer creations.

Tonight it is going to be this Octopus Pillow.

There are two of a kind, one for a little boy Jakov, another is for Toni.

Vidjela sam jedan lijepi crtež hobotnice na internetu,

precrtala sam ga na papir i koristila kao kroj.

Šablone za slova imam od prije.

Sve sam lijepo izrezala i pripuntala na žuticu.

I saw a really nice image of octopus at internet,

I drew it down on the paper myself and used it as pattern.

Letter patterns I have from earlier.

I cut the fabric and handstitched all parts on canvas.

Sa mašinom sam zašila sve djelove gustim cik-cak bodom

 u odgovarajućoj boji.

I sewed it with tight zig-zag stitches in matching colors.

Ovo je Tonijeva hobotnica.

This is Toni's octopus.

A ovo je Jakovljeva hobotnica.

And this one belongs to Jakov.

I jedna i druga su pokloni za rođendan dragim dječacima.

Both of them are birthday presents to two dear boys.

Naš ljubimac Otto / Our Pet Otto

 Ovo je Otto, naš zamorac.

This is Otto, our guinea pig.

Voli biti na zraku kad su dani lijepi.

He likes to be outside at sunny days.

Mačka se misli kako bi ušla u kavez.

Cat is wondering how to get inside the cage.

I što to on jede?

And what is Otto eating?

Da li to išta valja? Ne miriše baš najbolje.

Is it any good? It does not smell at all.

Možemo li biti prijatelji?

Could we be friends?

Navečer se Otto najradije odmara po raznim džepovima.

At evenings Otto prefers to rest a while in various pockets.

Srećom imamo džepove svih veličina :)

Luckily we own some spacious pockets :)

What is going on in a vegetable garden?

Ovih dana u našem vrtu...

These days in our garden...

Češnjak - nešto su mu požutuili listovi, plodovi su još dosta sitni,

s obzirom da je posađen na jesen:

Uskoro ćemo ga vaditi. 

Garlic - its leaves turned yellowish, clover itself is quite small yet,

Looking at me, you would not know I wear eyeglasses 
(in most of my pictures, I have my contact lenses). 
I have been wearing glasses ever since I was 10 years old (and that's a looong time). 
After I was older, I remember getting contact lenses. 
But when I'm home, I like to wear glasses.
I am not sure exactly which glasses I am going to order (perhaps two of them? :),

Malo stabalce / My Cherry Tree

My Cherry Tree

Koliko ja volim trešnje/višnje, 

vrlo se lako vidi po mom dizajnu bloga :)

Prošle godine je moj muž zasadio dva stabla trešanja i dva stabla višanja (maraske).

Ove godine su procvjetala.

Pokazat ću vam fotografije snimljene prije mjesec dana i jučer,

usporedbe radi.

Toliko se toga u vrtu promijenilo u taj jedan mjesec...

I love cherries, 

you could already see that on my blog's design :)

Last year my husband planted two sweet and two sour cherry trees.

This year they bloomed for the first time.

I will show you some photos taken last month and yesterday,

just for the comparison sake.

So many things in garden changed this past month...

Blog Award

 

Ispričavam se svojoj blogoprijateljici LoLiLa
što nagradu nisam prije preuzela.
To je jedna zgodna mlada cura koja voli biciklirati,
kako se i vidi :)

Za razliku od LoLiLa,
ja sam najsretnija kad, otprilike, izgledam ovako:

Nagradu proslijeđujem svima koje se prepoznaju na ovoj slici :)
