Relaxing weekend...

Turėjau nuostabų savaitgalį su šeima kaime. Tai turbūt pirmas kartas šią vasarą, kai galiu pasakyti, kad aš tikrai pailsėjau. Keletas foto pavydui sukelti :)

What a wonderful time I had with my family this weekend in the coutryside! That was the first time this summer when I can say- I 've really had a rest. Some pics, you could jealous

         Po savaitgalinio relakso, pirmadienį teko padirbėti kaip bitutei. Kadangi pastaruoju metu buvau nusivylusi batsiuvio, klijuodavusio man padus darbu, pabandžiau tai padaryti pati ir turiu pasakyti, kad labai savimi didžiuojuosi, kadangi galutinis rezultatas man netgi labai patiko- padariau tai gerokai kruopščiau ir atidžiau nei batsiuvys! Juodieji laiveliai iščiūčiuoti ir gražiai supakuoti iškeliavo į JAV.

         After relaxing weekend the new week I begin like a busy bee. After few times of disappointment with the shoemaker who was soling my shoes, I desided to try to put the soles myself. It wasn't easy, but I'm proud of myself - I can make it much better and with more accuracy then the shoemaker! Black flats, beautifuly packed is on the way to the USA.

New pair of black flats/ Nauja pora "baletkių"

All weekend I was working on this pair of black flats for Desiree. They have more pointed front and lower vamp then usual.      

Tomorrow they will go for soling.

Visą savaitgalį darbavausi su šia "baletkių" pora, kurios yra gerokai smailesniu priekiu ir atviresnės, nei aš darau įprastai, bet atrodo gerokai elegantiškesnis modeliukas. Laukiu klientės atsakymo ir rytoj šlepetės keliauja užsidėti padukų.

A set for woodland fairy/ Komplektėlis miškų fėjai...

I'm feeling frustrated when my work plans are falling. I took very long with this order- was waiting for wool in required colors much longer then expected. Later my son has fallen seriously ill, Shoemaker had a vacation , but finaly I can say it's done! Wonderful set of shoes with curly toes and hat in woodland colors for great fairy Nataliya.

Kartais jaučiuosi sužludyta, ypač kai griūva mano planai. Esu atsakinga prieš klientę ir įsipareigojusi terminuose, o nuo manęs nepriklausančios aplinkybės sudėlioja viską kitaip. Su šiuo užsakymu užtrukau gerokai ilgiau nei visada- laukiau reikiamų spalvų vilnos ilgiau nei tikėjausi, kai jau pagaliau tikėjausi pradėti užsakymą, susirgo mano vyresnėlis, vėliau laukiau kada batsiuvys grįš po atostogų ir pagaliau pagaliau, galiu pranešti, kad baigta! Miško spalvų kepurės ir riestanosių veltinukų komplektėlis  keliaus pas nuostabią fėją Nataliya.

New beginning

Senokai berašiau blog'e, bet tikrai ne dėl to, kad tingėjau. Tiesiog ruduo ir žiema buvo labai aktyvūs ir užimti. Kovo pradžioje susilaukėm naujo šeimos nario- Domuko, kurio nuotraukomis noriu čia pasidalinti. Mano naujasis modeliukas.

It's been a long time since I posted some news on my blog. The autumn and winter  was very active and busy for me. In the beginning of March I became a mother again. Now I'm a mummy of two wonderful boys. In this post I want to share some pictures of our new member of family-Domis
