Filmuletele ce le postez pe canalul de youtube sunt pentru inspiratie, deoarece la crosetat totul este unic, depinzand de multe lucruri ce influenteaza produsul final. Marimea sepcutei depinde de firul cu care lucrati, marimea crosetei si stilul vostru

Cam asa a iesit: Trandafirii mici (vezi TUTORIALUL VIDEO) i-am lucrat dupa urmatoarea schema: Ei pot fi lucarti si mai mari, inmultind numarul de petale. Trebuie sa

A trecut ceva timp de cand nu am mai postat noutati pe blog.In tot acest timp am mai achizitionat cateva piese de pe ebay, in special cristale de cuart provenind din Arkansas (SUA), m-tii Ouachita.Aici se gasesc printre cele mai fine cristale de cuart din lume cu o vechime estimata la 280 milioane ani.De obicei la cumpar necuratate, direct de la propietarul minei, urmand sa le curat eu personal.Unele au fost cumparate separat, altele la gramada.Este vorba despre cutii cu cristale necuratate, ceea ce americanii numesc "mine run".Aici se gasesc cristale necuratate si necercetate.Am achizitionat impreuna cu o prietena o asemena cutie de 4,5 kg la pretul de 150 dolari plus transportul.Per total cred ca meritat investitia, unul dintre ele fiind un cluster "blue phantom".

Citește mai departeDiana Spencer, Princess of Wales was called the “People’s Princess.” She injected personality, beauty and heart into a Royal bloodline that had grown stale. She was the breath of fresh air the Windsor family needed to reinvigorate their line and excite the public. Coming from a lesser Royal house, Diana didn’t put on any airs — it was easy for people to relate to her and her unassuming nature. In 1981, she married Prince Charles in a fairy tale wedding that was seen by 750 million viewers world-wide. However, the romance was anything but a “fairy tale.” Charles was stuffy, distant and 13 years Diana’s senior — he also remained in love with his former flame, Camilla Parker Bowles. Despite great marital turmoil, Diana gave birth to the Princes William and Harry and raised them in a happy and healthy environment. She also instilled in them her passion for humanitarian causes that spanned the globe. She was not content to be a Royal figurehead — she wa

He was the Pied-Piper from Hell. Hitler turned Germany into a war factory bent on world domination.
