(M)Ilyen vagyok? - Ildi's game

Friday, April 10, 2009

Hát, az úgy történt, hogy Ildi még januárban játékra hívott, ami nagyon tetszett, így örömmel vágtam bele....
Néhány héttel később sokkos állapotban újra meg újra elolvastam a játékszabályokat, és ekkor végre jött az ötlet!!!
Mivel NEM valósághű, hanem vicces képet kellett készíteni, megörültem, amikor eszembe jutott, hogy még évekkel ezelőtt Szentendrén rajzolt rólam egy fiú egy karikatúrát... Épp itt volt az ideje előkeresni.
Mindig is szerettem volna tűfestéssel alkotni, szóval úgy döntöttem, ez lesz a jó technika. Fogtam a "szuper mosható" filcemet és átrajzoltam a képet a textilre. Meg kell állapítanom, hogy a filc hazugság, hosszú órákon át sikáltam a végén,de csak nem akarta elengedni az anyagot...
A narancssárga anyag egyértelmű választás volt, mindenki tudja rólam, aki ismer, milyen jóban vagyunk ezzel a színnel. A fekete meg nagyon jól mutatott rajta, a szürkével lehetett árnyékolni, de valószínűleg sokkal többet kellett volna még dolgoznom rajta, azt hiszem, majd olvasok és kérdezek még a tűfestésről....
Ildi Exit sorsolta nekem, akivel februárban találkoztunk is... Ezt a szerény és visszafogott hajgumit viseltem, ami nagyon tetszett neki, és azt kérte, legyen ez is a képen.

Sajnos nem sikerült, mert a karikatúrán lévő fonott copffal nézett ki jól a kép... De valahogy azért mégiscsak szerettem volna rátenni a képre legalább valami hasonlót....Ekkor jött a "keret" ötlete. Sajnos nem kaptam zöld fonalat, de a sárga is nagyon jellemző rám és jól kiegészítették egymást a naranccsal.

Szerencsére Exi már régen megkapta a kis csomagot. És én is megkaptam Sue csomagját, aki nekem küldött. Köszönöm! Ildinek is a játékot!



There was a game organized by Ildi in January. We had to sew selfportraits, but this should not be a realistic one. After some shocking weeks I found an old drawing.... This was made in Szentendre (a beautiful little town) some years ago. I copied the drawing onto the fabric with superwashable pens (but it is a lie, I had to wash the fabric for ages till I could remove the ink...) and then I started to sew. I wanted to use the thread painting tachnique but I know I have to read about it a lot more, this was my first try. I used the orange fabric because I love that colour. The black thread goes well with it and I used some grey for the shadow.... In February I met Exi who was picked for me (we sent these pics to each other as Easter presents) and she saw the orange-green hairpiece in my hair (look at the photo above), she asked me to put it somehow to the picture. I tried, but in the pic I had a long pony tail so I decided to use some extra thread for the border. I could buy that green but yellow is another colour which I like, so I used them.
I also got my parcel from Sue so you can check her picture in her blog! I like it!

On its way.....

Exi, good news! Your little envelope is on its way to you..... I have just came back from the post office.... I hope you'll get it soon :D

And in Hungarian:
Exi, jó híreim vannak! Kicsi csomagocskád úton már feléd tart... Éppen most érkeztem haza a postáról... (persze nem sikerült tökéletesen a küldés most sem, mert a levélkét sikerült kifelejtenem a borítékból.....-mostanában mindig ez történik..... azt hiszem, azt majd átküldöm neked mailben....pirul.... :D )

March - finished things

Monday, March 30, 2009

Here are my finished things for the challange in March. This month I made lots of birthday presents. Some are the finished objects....
Mum's bag:

I have made it for my mum. I learnt the zip-it bag from kdatta but I changed some things so mum can close it. I had to add some hands for it.

It is a simple purse, the fabric is from my Aussie Advent Swap:

And this is a pencil case for my colleague who is a chocolate lover....:


UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Saturday, March 21, 2009

It seems I could kill my blog..... I tried to change template but it was a mistake... a huge mistake... Now I am too frustrated to be able to find and redo everything I lost so sorry but I stop doing anything with the blog for now...

I am really sorry for the links I lost ... I try to find you again....hopefully.... in a better mood .... once...

Before picture

I take place in a game of Quilt Otaku. Marisa asked us to take a photo of a handmade project then read her instructions about taking photos and make a new pic.

Here you can see my 'before picture' .
It is a holder I made for my new camera. I didn't like to take it with my in a towel or something... It was khm... embarrassing a bit....


Finished project - February

Monday, March 9, 2009


..... I wanted to say, nearly February.... I know I was a bit late but I was very busy with birthdays..... Lots of birthdays in March.... Actually the most important birthday - or let's say the most exciting was in connection with this project.
My colleagues' new born baby..... I have decided to make this baby quilt for him for his very first birthday.... He was said to be born last Thursday but luckily he was a bit late so I could finish this quilt on time. (on Saturday)

The first idea was a country quilt with farm animals... (As a teacher I wanted to make something teachable :D :D) But I couldn't draw the mouse and my B decided to look for pics on the Net. I have found the 'mouse on Mars', I drew it and then a Hungarian character, Frakk the dog came. So I changed the original plan (in January) and I used the figures of the tales from our childhood (I mean our childhood with the young parents).

I wanted to use the tale equivalent of the farm animals, but as you can see I couldn't (I had so many ideas)... Tiger is the favourite of the young father, Tom is his name too and he likes bears....

I used flanel for the backing and thick vlies inside. The quilt is applique but I machine embroidered Tiger's stripes. I quilted some of the background (free machine quilting) like the tree, stones, clouds etc.

Then on the blue stripes I quilted with blue thread. I am really proud of it! I think it is 85x105 cm, but I am not sure as I forgot to measure it! (I think I will have to ask them to measure it for me later...)

As you know I do not make quilts (very rarely only) so I am really proud of this one. He liked it, I hope she and the little one will, too.

Sewing and baking

Sunday, February 22, 2009

This weekend I looked like a housewife (nearly never....normally...) I tidied the flat (yuck!) then I could continue my secret project which meant cutting and drawing this time...... Today I decided to make something yummi!

On Monday we went to a cookbook shop (it was one of the presents of my B on his nameday) and I was the one who got present :D (OK, he got something too!) So I got 6 tiny baking plates or whatever they call them in English... I always wanted something like these...
I found a nice recipe in our Australian cookbook (delicious lemon it is called) so I decided to give it a try. I should have used one big dish but I had 6 small ones so I was a bit worried about it, but it turned out well. And it is a kind of soufle which I never made before....
Here you can see the small dishes before going into the oven:



And here are the result of the baking, the beautiful (and yummi) soufles:


And finally this is the view of my sewing room, inspiring me these days:
