Drevesa Trees

Že večkrat sem omenila, kako zelo rada imam drevesa in gozd. Rada ga imam spomladi, ko tako lepo diši, poleti, ko tako lepo hladi, jeseni, ko je tako lepo obarvan in pozimi, ko je tako spokojen. Pravzaprav diši v vseh letnih časih.

Danes sem na kup zbrala nekaj svojih slik dreves iz preteklih mesecev, ki se niso uspele uvrstiti na blog.

Zdaj pa jih je iz pozabe rešila Marna, ki na svojem blogu za nagrado ponuja prav posebno drevo. :)

I mentioned many times how immensely I like trees and woods. I like it in spring when it smells so nice, I like it in summer when it cools you down so pleasantly, I like it in autumn when it’s so lovely coloured and I like it in winter when it is so peaceful. Actually it smells nicely in all the seasons.

Today I gathered here a bunch of my trees-photos from past few months which didn’t qualify for this blog at the time.

Because of Marna they are now saved from being forgotten, because on her blog she is giving away a special tree. :)

Razsvetljen večer Evening light

Včeraj je bil dan končno spet daljši, zato sva si proti večeru mimogrede ogledala

Plečnikovo kapelico v Preski pri Medvodah, zgrajeno leta 1934.

From yesterday on the daylight lasts longer again, so last evening we visited

a cultural monument designed in 1934 by our greatest architect Jože Plečnik:

the chapel in Preska near Medvode town.

Pokrajine v nas Landscapes within us

Z velikim veseljem sem v ta namen oblikovala predstavitveno brošurico.

It was a great joy for me to design a little brochure for the occasion.

Danes smo se na kup zbrale samo prijateljice, vključno z mojo sestro, in šle nazdravit njeni razstavi, ki je na ogled v poslovni stavbi Geoplina, na Cesti Ljubljanske brigade 11 v Ljubljani, in bo trajala vse tja globoko v prihodnji mesec.

Njene pokrajine izvabljajo najboljše iz nas in v njih se preprosto z veseljem za vedno izgubiš.

Tako sem ponosna.

Vabljeni!

We went today - just a bunch of girlfriends together with my sister - to see her exhibition. If you’re in Slovenia, you are welcome to see it in headquarters of Geoplin Company, in Ljubljana at Cesta Ljubljanske brigade 11.

Her landscapes bring out the best from us and it’s such a joy to get lost in there for ever.

I’m so proud.

Welcome!

Mmmm... 7

Že tako ali tako imam rada maslo namazano na kruhu, če pa je izboljšano po Mirovo, pa je oh in sploh!
Modelček sva kupila na letošnjem Gregorjevem semnju v Logatcu in Miro se je lotil dela.

Nasekljal je posušene paradižnike in drobnjak, jih primešal maslu, stlačil v modelček in hop v hladilnik;

I like butter spread on bread anyway, but if it’s improved in Miro’s way it is - oh in sploh – without words!
We bought butter shape-model on this year’s Gregorjevo fair in Logatec and Miro set to work.

He chopped dried tomatoes and chives, mixed them together with butter, put everything into the model and hop into the refrigerator:

Naslednji dan ali čez nekaj ur;

The next day or after a couple of hours:

In še vsakokratna obvezna obmizna začimbica;

And here’s a little spice that can never be missed at the table:

Stranpoti Sideways

Dedek že od nekdaj pravi, da so stranpoti pogosto bolj zanimive od glavnih, zato nas je mnogokrat raje zapeljal skozi neznane kraje.

Te filozofije se, če se le da, drživa tudi z Mirom in tako sva zadnjič, ko sva se iz Logatca vračala proti Ljubljani, zavila na Barje in si spotoma na hitro ogledala edini še stoječi, 21. steber železniškega viadukta v Borovnici in vedno veličastno Plečnikovo cerkev sv. Mihaela v Črni vasi.

Večerilo se je že, pokrajina je bila tako čarobna, nebo pa na meji med dramatičnostjo in otožnostjo, da se je zdelo, kot da lebdiva skozi sanje.

My grandpa has always been saying that sideways are usually more interesting than the main ones, so many times he drove us through unknown places rather than using highway.

If it is possible Miro and I also use this philosophy. And so the other day when we were returning from Logatec to Ljubljana, we made a side turn through Barje (Ljubljana’s marshland). By the way we took a quick look at the 21st column, the only one left standing from what used to be a railway viaduct (built in the middle of 19th century and bombed in the Second World War) in Borovnica (= Blueberry) village and always magnificent church of sv. Mihael (St. Michael) in Črna vas (= Black village) built by our greatest architect Jože Plečnik in 1938.

It was getting dark already, the landscape was so magical and the sky was lingering between drama and melancholy – it seemed like flying through dreams.

Evro-teden Euro-week

Ta teden je Etsy v znamenju Evrope, zato sem v čast temu in pa dejstvu, da sem nova članica tako
ETS (Etsy Team Slovenia - novonastala skupina slovenskih Etsyjevcev)
kot tudi
EST (European Street Team - skupine etsyjevih ustvarjalcev iz Evrope),
sestavila kar tri nove zakladnice.

Prvo popolnoma slovensko, drugi dve pa evropski (vključno z nekaj slovenskimi izdelki).

Vse moje zakladnice, ki sem jih do zdaj sestavila, si lahko ogledate tu.
Vse zakladnice, v katere so drugi vključili moje izdelke (plus mojih zgornjih 10), pa si lahko ogledate tu.

It is Euro- week on Etsy. Because of this fact and because I’m a proud new member of
ETS (Etsy Team Slovenia – group of Slovene Etsians)
and
EST (European Street Team – European artists on Etsy)
I made three new treasuries.

First one is completely Slovenian and the other two European (including some Slovenian items).

Here you can see all my treasuries made so far.
List of all treasuries made by others that are featuring my items (including the 10 made by me mentioned above) - you can see them here.

Pisma iz Japonske Letters from Japan

V zadnjih dneh je v mojih mislih pogosto Japonska. Ob tem mislim tudi na Yukie, nekdanjo dopisovalko. Tako prijazna punca. Sploh se ne spomnim, kako sva izgubili stik. Kriva so verjetno vihrava najstniška leta.

O, kako so mi bila všeč njena pisma! Nežna in na lepih, pisanih papirjih, njena latinična pisava pa na pogosto prozorni podlagi tako simpatična, kot japonske pismenke. Ta pisma so bila kot slike. In tako umetelno zložena, da sem imela vedno probleme, kako jih zložiti nazaj. :)

Danes sem jih ponovno vzela v roke. Spet me je ganila njena skrb ob naši osamosvojitvi. Kaj vse sva si povedali in kakšne načrte za prihodnost sva kovali! :)

Tu je le nekaj delcev, ki niso preveč intimni. Upam, da ne bi bila jezna, če bi jih videla objavljene. Jaz pa si medtem mislim, da je v teh dolgih letih že obiskala Rim, se mogoče naučila kakšno slovensko besedo in predvsem, da je z njo vse v redu.

挨拶、私の友人

In the last days Japan is often on my mind. I’m thinking a lot also about Yukie, my ex pen pal. Such a sweet girl. I just can’t remember how we’ve lost contact. The turbulent teenage years should be blamed probably.

O, how I liked her letters! All delicate and on pretty, colourful papers. Her latin-alphabet handwriting on the transparent background was so cute, just like Japanese script. Those letters were like paintings for me. And they were folded so artfully that it was always a big challenge for me to fold them like they were. :)

I took them in my hands today after quite some time. Again I was touched by her concern about events that accompanied our independence back in 1991. All that things that we told to each other and what plans we had for the future! :)

Here are just a few pieces of the story that are not to intimate. I hope she wouldn’t mind. Meanwhile I’m thinking that in all those years she did manage to see Rome already, that she has learned some Slovenian words and most of all that she is all right.

Okrašena drevesa in male žabice Decorated trees and tiny frogs

Kakšen lep dan! V gozdu je vse žuborelo od pričakovanja jutrišnjega prvega pomladnega dne in ostanki bele zime se bleščijo samo še v daljavah.

Tudi Zoja je podivjala – dobesedno - kar lahko vidite na predzadnji sliki… kjer je ni… pa bi morala biti. :)

What a wonderful day! In the woods everything was overflowed with anticipation of the first day of spring coming tomorrow and remains of white winter are shining only in a distance.

Zoja went wild also – literally – as you can see on the photo previous to the last one, where she should be captured running like crazy, but there is not even a piece of her tail. :)
