Christmas #2
On Saturday it was Orthodox Christmas and we had a simple dinner with family and friends. Doesn't really feel like a holiday, but it's nice to celebrate two Christmases :)
learning to crochet
I think last time I did any crocheting when I was a kid, I decided to give it another try and made this Totoro toy. It turned out to be quite easy! You can make one too using this pattern . Now I wish I could make my own patterns but I guess it's too soon for that.
Lovely! That turnover looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteФото такие теплые и домашние! Бабушка наконец-то лично познакомилась с внучкой) Лена, а в других своих работах Вы используете какую-то подсветку или везде освещение естественное?
ReplyDeleteВесенние тюльпаны и сладкое солнышко.. так тепло..
ReplyDeleteHi Elena! It's so lovely to see this post. I grew up in my Grandmother's home (here in NY) celebrating the same holiday. She was from Odessa, Ukraine. Even after her passing we continue to celebrate the holiday with a small feast of food she use to make. Verhuny is always our dessert. =)
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful (& tasty).

ReplyDeleteLena, spasibo! Net, nikakuyu podsvetku ne ispolzuyu, eto obychnoe osvschhenie.
@Jennie Prince Jennie, that is such lovely tradition, so touching! Do you speak any Ukrainian?
ReplyDeleteDaniella, Janis, thank you! <3
ReplyDeleteI'm a little jealous! I would love to have two christmases! More yummy food to enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteElena, sadly no. My sister and I use to know the basic when we were younger but over the years we lost it. My Grandmother traveled to the U.S. with her sister and parents, all of which passed away before I was born. So as you can imagine she used the language very little with no one to talk to. It's something my sister and I talk about learning in the near future. =)
