Mariuca si Maya - BFF

La inceputul verii am primit o propunere, foarte interesanta, in prima faza am fost tentata sa renunt, dar dupa ce am primit si alte detalii si in special mesajul acestei propuneri, am acceptat, iar acum la final, sunt foarte incantata de rezultat.

Tema era asa : doua papusi crosetate, cu alura de bebelus, dar stilizate intr-un anumit fel; cuvintele cheie : prietenie, amprenta personala, doua bebeluse superbe Mariuca si Maya, un wrap cu balene ( la final balena a fost delfin ), pantalonasi indian style si un tutu turcoaz; acesta din urma l-am ochit eu cautind indicii ;), iar mamica a fost de acord.
Mi-a luat ceva timp sa ma gandesc cum sa incep, de unde, avind in vedere ca n-am mai crosetat papusi pana acum, iar modelele crosetate de pe net pur si simplu nu m-au inspirat; dar ca de fiecare data, mi-am lasat imaginatia sa zboare si cu cateva idei gasite ici de colo, am ajuns la final.
Asadar, iata-le pe cele doua papusi, prietene, ce vor sta departe una de cealalta, dar pe care distanta nu le va desparti.

Papusa balerina Mariuca, micuta si sfioasa, ce in curind va incepe o noua viata undeva prin America de Sud.

 Si micuta creola Maya,  papusa exotica ce va ramane pe plaiurile romanesti.

Am facut prezentarile, sper ca cele doua papusi sa transmita mesajul de prietenie pe care si l-a dorit mamica uneia dintre fetite si va las la final niste versuri frumoase gasite pe net, potrivite pentru tema ce-am avut-o.

" Prietenia-i ca o floare/Si poate rezista in timp,
   De are apa si mult soare/Traieste-n orice anotimp.
   Prietenia-i o poveste/Miracol fara de sfarsit,
   E raza blanda, sus, pe creste/ Lumina-n visul nesfarsit.
   Prietenia-i un tezaur/Pastrat in inima pe veci,
   E bulgare de tainic, aur/Si foc nestins in zile reci"

So.....keep calm because friendship is magic !!!!!

Necklace Watermelon

" Full of water/ Full of sweet
Juicy, messy / Treat to eat.
Dessert of summer / Picnic jewel
Ruby red / and oh..so cool !! "

Guess what........ it's about the star fruit of August, the watermelon.
There is no other fruit for hot summer days, than watermelon; full of antioxidants and vitamins, excellent hydration source, but also the inspiration for my necklace;)

"Watermelon" created especially for breastfeeding mothers, but not only ....;)
 It's a baby friendly item, made with natural wood beads and cotton yarn, accessorised with flowers and a slice of watermelon;
Yummmi, cheerful, colorful and just perfect for the little ones to chew on......don't you agreed ?

Well.......I hope you enjoyed my new necklace, full of flavors and vitamins, which is my own design.....by the way; now, I invite you to enjoy some of the curiosities less known, about watermelon collected from the internet or "connoisseurs"
1. We know that it's a fruit, watermelon is actually a vegetable related with melon and cucumber.
2. We eat it as a dessert, but it's so delicious as an appetizer, with cheese or salads ...... our parents and grandparents know best;)
3. We use to eat only the core, but all parts are edible, core, shell and seeds; I recently learned from a friend from USA, who told me that they don't throw anything from watermelon and she prepared an excellent salad with watermelon shells. Also, Asians have some food recipes with watermelon shells ..... they look very yummmi
4. Shell can be used also as a snack, especially for those with blood pressure problems or obesity; the active ingredient, citrulline, improves blood circulation.
4. The seeds, full of benefits and what is more interesting, they could treat the diabet type II; however, keep attention how you eat, milled or tea, I think it's best
5. Also seeds improve libido and virility, so they are a good source of natural viagra;)
I hope I convinced you by watermelon beneffits and don't forget to appreciate of what Mother Nature gives us, for me.............................always an inspiration source.

Necklace " spring sensation "

It's true that we're already count the spring in calendar, but the true heralds of spring are these beautifull flowers that greets you with their smile and fragrance ..... the daffodils; it's says that when the daffodils bloom, the winter is not coming back. Oooo ..... yes, we can enjoy of warmth and sun and all nature that comes to life.
About daffodils were written some legends, some of them with religious symbolism, but the one I liked the most, is the legend of Narcissus, a Romanian folk legend, which you can read here. ( only in romanian language )
Inspired by these flowers, I've created a beautiful necklace with spring flowers, which I called "Spring Sensation", because every time I wear it ...... I make sensation. I chose a yellow daffodil with whom I added two bouquets of violets and some delicate crocuses.

I used cotton thread, which is very resistant even washing in automatic machine;) 

The necklace has a length of 60 cm, if you want to adjust the length I can add a classic chain lock.

Also, these brooches are part from spring collection. Aren't they cute ?

If you like daffodils, I invite you to buy this necklace, unique, my own inspiration, and also please visit my etsy shop where you'll find more daffodils and crochet flowers.

I WISH TO BE SPRING IN YOUR SOULS ............EVERY TIME!!!!!
