Bees and Honey.


We have a small apiary - some 90 hives, around it. My father has been a bee-master for many years, and you would think I must have got used to the bees. Still they amaze me every time.
They are such hard-working creatures that can not be compared to anything else in the living nature!

Easter Holiday


 Usually for such big and lightful holidays we get prepared thoroughly and well in advance - beginning with fasting, confession, cleaning the house and ending with the holiday preparations in the kitchen.
One of the symbols of Easter is a special cake - "pasca". This year I cooked it myself. And I think it turned out good!

Cook a handmade soap at home


If you ever try to use the "home" soap, you will not want to buy soap from the shop. Your personal soap is flavored , tender, based on natural ingredients which everyone of us chooses for himself. Handmade soap is not stored for a long time because of the natural ingredients are perishable . The manufacturers add various preservatives to the soap, therefore shop soap is long-lasting and does not spoil.

The dreams about sea...

It is a snow and blizzard outside the window, and I'd love to dream about the summer, the golden sand in the sea, the gentle surf ....
I remembered my extensive collection of seashells. I took out my herbarium which our grandfather made for us in his summer cottage.
And then such cute pendants came up.
Dry flowers are secured under the layer of special non-toxic 3d jewelry lacquer.
There is a suede or lace cords on the pendants.
If you
liked my shell pendants, you can buy them in my Etsy shop...

RED



Today I will tell you about symbolic meaning of colours. First of all, when we choose the clothes or accessory, or jewelery we are interested in selection of preferred color. But all colours have its own meaning and symbol.
Today we will talk about the most bright color - about red

red glass beads

My story is simple.

Hello. My story is simple.
My name is Svitlana. I am from Ukraine – there’s such a country in the center of Europe. I have a husband and a daughter. My family is very important for me. They inspire me to search new ideas; they support my beginnings and are always ready to help me.

I have been fond of knitting since school. The first time I took crochet, my grandma showed me two eyelets – single crochet and double crochet. My creative work started from these two eyelets. Person, who was the first to come up with entanglement of threads in a way that the picture appears, was genius. This knitwear is vivid, it creates good mood and charges with positive energy.

Hobby in people’s life

In our country– Ukraine – parents teach their kids to envolve their personalities from the childhood - read books, do the sport, find their capture. This capture - hobby - is quite important for everyone.
Hobby gives you the chance to be private, to stay alone with your own thoughts. Hobby is pretty better than psychologist and you can find soul balance, keep calm, and get positive moods in life.
In our family we have a special attention to the hobbies. My daughter is painting batik from the childhood - painting on the silk, she also makes clay and beaded jewelry.

But I want to tell you a few words about my son - Dan.

Our post today is about DECOUPAGE.

Decoupage is a popular trend. The technique of decoupage actually dates back to twelfth century China. it became known as decoupage during the seventeenth century when it became enormously popular in France and Italy. The term comes from the word 'decouper,' which means 'to cut out'. Some famous people are known to have loved and enjoyed decoupaging during their lives including Madame de Pompadour, Marie Antoinette and Beau Brummell. Decoupage is relatively easy and inexpensive to do. Here are some basic guidelines to get you started.

We will step by step make decoupage bag from faux leather.
I used brush, repair tape, alcohol, scissors, pencil, potch for napkins, artistic gel, primer, hairdryer, napkins and bag.

1. I bought high-quality faux leather bag at the store.
