another long weekend

Two wonderful, long weekends in a row and wonderful weather with it! One could get used to this....
Although this weekend is not as warm as the Easter one, and we even had a frost the night before last. We had to get some of the pot plants under cover a bit sharpish.
Despite the weather man promising some rain for today, it held of in most parts of the country, which was a very good news for a certain young couple in London. It was an ideal day for a wedding and I am sure all of you, who are interested, watched it on TV.
That all done, I would like some rain now, please! My garden is desperate for it and everywhere is like a dust bowl. Two of our water buts are empty already and we are still in April! But as they say, be careful what you wish for!

When it was very warm last week, I was looking for something to stitch, nothing too warm or delicate.
I found this in one of my draws, I bought it years ago on holidays. I can't even call it UFO, as not a stitch was done on it before it disappeared in a draw.


A piece of fabric with a printed design. I plan to make it into a curtain for a small side  window in our dining room, which looks out onto a side of the garage, a view which needs to be permanently blanked out. It is a very easy project, simply stitched in a stem stitch.


change of address

No, I am not moving!
When I was clearing my inbox today I came across an email I received a few weeks ago (no, I am not very good at computer maintenance!)

Hi Radka,
We posted an article that we thought you and your readers might be interested in having a look at, “40 Idea Blogs for Kids Crafts" (http://www.changeofaddress.org/blog/2010/40-idea-blogs-for-kids-crafts/ ). I am happy to let you know that your site has been included in this list.
Thanks for your time!
Sheryl Owen

The site is called "Change of Address", not somewhere I would expect my blog to be listed, LOL!
But you never know! Browsing down the list of blogs included, I found some interesting fellow bloggers, you can have a look here.

Last month I posted this picture on my blog. Lorenza asked me if she could use my picture, and of course I agreed. I was very curious what she was going to do with it. Please visit her blog and have a look.
Isn't she clever? I am so pleased that my picture was an inspiration for her project!

21st August

Today I received a very kind email from a fellow blogger, another Czech living abroad, for the anniversary of the terrible day, 21st August 1968. The events of that day in our country, then Czechoslovakia, will always be in the memory of all who were there.

Thank you Jana, I am thinking of you too.
