Băi frate, deci stăteam liniștit în vizuina mea călduță, când dintr-o dată, haț! simt că mă prinde coneva de urechi și mă trage în sus! Și numa mă trezesc ... într-un mall, ceva, un loc cu multe mese cu chestii pe ele. Um... wtf?<br />

<br />Zic, ia să văd ce mi se întâmplă. Văd pe o masă din apropiere niște căni drăguuțe foc, cu un ceainic delicat, frumos, se asorta cu mine. Zic, hai să beau un ceai, să mă liniștesc. Era zmeurată! Închipuie-ți!!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Ok, tre să recunosc, m-am pilit un pic, da' nu tare, mă știi că io țin la băutură. Dar parcă mi-o mai venit așa, inima la loc. Mă gândesc, hai să mă uit prin jur, poate găsesc vreo modalitate să mă întorc acasă la mine în vizuină. Văd o plasă, scria pe ea ceva cu călătorie, zic, asta-i! M-am băgat în ea.... nimic.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Băi frate, era un aer uscat în locul ăla, mi s-a uscat instantaneu pielea pe mine. Și de buze, nu mai zic. Știi că io am o problemă medicală, m-am născut cu buză de iepure, și din cauza asta-s mai sensibil. Dar am găsit pe altă masă un balsam de buze, să-l mănânci, nu alta! Și tot așa, roz, delicat, asortat cu mine.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Era și destul de răcoare acolo, nu ca la mine în vizuină. Zic, hai să-mi găsesc ceva de îmbrăcat. Am găsit o geacă șmecherăă! Așa de fain îmi stătea cu ea! Păcat că îmi era un pic strâmtă la piept. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Lângă masa cu geci era o masă cu accesorii de piele. Zic, dacă tot mi-e mică geaca, să îmi iau totuși ceva fancy. Cravată sau papion? Cravată sau papion? Vine balul de Crăciun din pădure, oare care s-ar potrivi mai bine? Nu m-am putut hotărî, le-am luat pe amândouă, zi și tu dacă nu arăt irezistibil cu ambele!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Puțin mai încolo era o masă cu multe culori pe ea. Era și o carte imeeensă, clar părea magică. M-am uitat la poze, dar n-am pus mâna, că nu se știe niciodată. Oricum, am impresia că oamenii nu văd bine: cine-o mai văzut animale de culorile astea?!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Am mers mai departe, să găsesc vreun mod de a ajunge acasă, când dau de o masă pliiină cu floricele colorate! Arăta masa aia exact ca și câmpul din spatele casei de la mine. Băi frate, și m-o apucat iar un dor de casă de eram gata-gata să plâng. Ce, se știe că și iepurașii plâng câteodată, asta este.</div>

<br /><br />Am încercat iar să mă întorc; lângă floricele era o masă cu multe lucruri care păreau a fi ceva tunel, zic, hai să încerc. Mă pun într-unu de-ăsta... nimic. Am aflat apoi că asta sunt lucruri cu care își aranjează oamenii vizuinele de Crăciun ... oops! <br /><br />Am obosit într-un hal după atâtea emoții și decepții, pff! Și m-am așezat aici, unde mă vedeți acuma. E taaare comod, și verde ca la mine acasă. Știi ce mă gândesc? Stau aici peste noapte și-apoi văd io mâine cum ajung acasă. Băi frate, ce zi am avut! Noapte bună. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #660000;">Once upon a time, I had a grandma. She was not your usual, vanilla-scented, cake-baking grandma. No, she was fiery and strong and loved her family fiercely. She had this gift of <i>deciding </i>things into existence, and they somehow always obeyed. If one of us was sick, she would decide to make us better in two days, and she did. If a neighbour needed help in the garden, she decided to do her own work and theirs. If life threw something horrible at her, she decided to make the most of it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #783f04;"><i>Odată ca niciodată, aveam o bunică. Nu era bunicuţa obişnuită, care miroase a vanilie şi face prăjituri. Nu, era focoasă şi puternică şi îşi iubea familia într-un fel aprig. Avea darul de a hotărî lucrurile să se întâmple, şi cumva ele se supuneau întotdeauna. Dacă unul din nou era bolnav, ea hotăra să ne facă bine în două zile, şi aşa era. Dacă o vecină avea nevoie de ajutor în grădină, ea hotăra să facă şi munca ei, şi pe-a vecinei. Dacă viaţa îi arunca în poală ceva groaznic, ea hotăra să scoată ceva bun din asta.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i>
<span style="color: #660000;">One evening (it might have been winter, as I seem to remember there was a fire going in the stove), she decided I was old enough to stop having my evening milk in a baby bottle. I was about to start wailing for the impending loss of my sense of security, when something magical happened. She opened the cupboard - <i>that </i>cupboard, the one that housed all the cups and plates and glasses that only came out at very special occasions and always with great care. The forbidden cupboard was opened and a cup floated into my hands. It was tiny; it looked so frail that even the bright orange flower painted on its side looked too heavy for its thin, almost translucent porcelain walls. I was in awe. Even if it became my daily evening milk cup, I always treated it with great care, and even now I tremble a bit when I take it out of my usual, not-at-all-forbidden cupboard.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #783f04;"><i>Într-o seară (cred că era iarnă, că parcă îmi amintesc focul în sobă), bunica a hotărît că sunt prea mare să-mi mai beau laptele de seară din sticla cu biberon. Eram gata să mă apuc de bocit pentru pierderea iminentă a simţului meu de securitate, când s-a întâmplat ceva magic. Bunica a deschis bufetul - bufetul acela, cel în care locuiau toate ceştile şi farfuriile şi paharele care ieşeau doar la ocazii foarte speciale, şi întotdeauna cu multă grijă. Bufetul interzis s-a deschis şi o ceaşcă a plutit până în mâinile mele. Era micuţă; părea aşa de fragilă încât şi floarea portocalie pictată pe o parte părea prea grea pentru pereţii ei de porţelan subţire, aproape translucid. Eram copleşită. Chiar dacă a devenit ceaşca mea cotidiană de lapte, întotdeauna o tratam cu mare grijă, şi chiar şi acum tremur un pic când o scot din dulapul meu obişnuit, deloc-interzis.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">I don't know what happened to the rest of the set, but I still have my cup and saucer. I now use it to photograph my litle fairies in, they seem to go together so well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><i>Nu ştiu ce s-a întâmplat cu
restul setului, dar eu mai am încă ceaşca şi farfurioara mea. Le
folosesc acum pentru a-mi fotografia zânuţele, mi se pare că se
potrivesc tare bine.</i></span> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;">But, apart from is cuteness factor, whenever I use the cup, I am reminded of what my grandma taught me that evening 30-odd years ago and that I only became aware of as an adult -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"> - that I am a big girl</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"> - that I can be trusted, even with fragile things</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"> - that it's OK to let myself be pushed out of my comfort zone, as, when I lose something, something much better might come to me instead</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #783f04;"><i>Dar, pe lângă factorul estetic, de fiecare dată când folosesc ceaşca îmi amintesc de ceea ce m-a învăţat bunica în acea seară, acum 30 de ani, şi de care am devenit conştientă abia când am devenit adult - </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #783f04;"><i> - că sunt mare</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #783f04;"><i> - că se poate avea încredere în mine, chiar şi cu lucruri fragile</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #783f04;"><i> - că e OK să mă las scoasă din zona mea de confort, pentru că, de fiecare dată când pierd ceva, s-ar putea ca ceva şi mai fain să vină în loc</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;">My grandma did not live happily everafter, but her cup will. Because I have <i>decided</i>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #783f04;"><i>Bunica mea nu a trăit fericită până la adânci bătrâneţe, însă ceşcuţa ei va trăi. Pentru că am hotărât. </i></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is Archie the muckla. Born and raised in Fălushtain, like any usual muckla, he figured out from an early age that he was destined for bigger things. Yes, it's alright to live your life like any other muckla, in a human's house, being responsible for messages, stealing keys and gnawing holes in socks. But who's to deal with the really serious issues of the world?!</span></span></span></div>

Însă de chestiunile cu adevărat serioase cine se ocupă?!</i></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This question bothered him every day, while he was looking for a place in the world. He began to investigate the depths of human nature, trying to understand what makes humans behave the way thez do, as well as what is the purpose of mucklor in a world dominated by humans who don't even know of their existence. He decided humans in general are fascinating, but not so nice.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i><span style="color: #783f04;">Această întrebare l-a preocupat zilnic, în timp ce îşi căuta fără astâmpăr rostul în lume. S-a apucat să sondeze adâncurile naturii umane, încercând să înţeleagă ce-i face să se comporte aşa cum se comportă, precum şi care e rostul mişumacilor într-o lume dominată de oameni care nici nu ştiu de existenţa lor. A ajuns la concluzia că oamenii sunt fascinanţi, dar nu prea sunt de treabă<span style="color: #660000;">.</span></span></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">However, his desire to change the world for the better was not affected by this sad conclusion. What is he became a pilot? He could deliver mail to people in faraway places, he could write messages in the sky at festivals and other events...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="color: #660000;">But this didn't work... apparently they don't accept students who have tails in flight school... also, he didn't meet the height criteria, considering he is only 13cm and a half tall.</span></span></span></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Totuşi, dorinţa lui de a schimba lumea în bine nu a fost afectată de această tristă concluzie. Oare dacă s-ar face pilot? Ar putea să livreze corespondenţa unor oameni din locuri îndepărtate, ar putea scrie mesaje pe cer la festivaluri şi alte evenimente... </span></span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Dar asta a picat... cică nu primesc cursanţi cu coadă la şcoala de pilotaj... şi nici nu întrunea condiţiile de înălţime, având în vedere că are doar 13 centimetri jumate. </span></span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">He then tried a more down-to-earth job: baking. It's so nice to make people happy in the morning, with warm bread and sofisticated cakes... But this didn't work either when, after a few fits and throwing raw dough at rude customers, Archie decided customer service jobs were not for him. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">S-a oprit apoi la o meserie mai cu picioarele pe pământ: brutăria. Ce frumos e să faci oamenii fericiţi dimineaţa, cu pâine caldă şi prăjituri sofisticate... Dar şi asta a picat, când, după câteva crize de aruncat cu aluat crud după clienţi nepoliticoşi, Archie şi-a dat seama într-un târziu că lucrul cu publicul larg nu e pentru el.</span></span></i></div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Convinced that the world is against him, he decided to be against the world in turn. His favourite word became NO. </span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #783f04;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Pătruns de convingerea că lumea e împotriva lui, s-a hotărât să fie şi el împotriva lumii. Cuvântul lui preferat a devenit NU. </span></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But his community spirit is hard to break, even when it seems like everything is against him. Upset as he is with people, global warming, corporations, rude customers, inconsiderate neighbours, corrupt politicians and many others, he still does his best to change things. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Însă spiritul său civic e greu de învins, chiar şi atunci când pare că toate îi sunt împotrivă. Aşa supărat cum e el, pe oameni, pe încălzirea globală, pe corporaţii, pe clienţii nepoliticoşi, pe vecinii </span></span></i><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i><span style="color: #783f04;">nesimţiţi, pe politicienii corupţi şi pe multe altele, tot se străduieşte să schimbe ceva.</span></i></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Being now more mature, Archie no longer throws dough at people, but he can be seen at most of the protests marches in big cities, carrying his mohawk and a sign bigger than himself. His influence is strong enough that he managed to move other domestic mucklor from their comfortable existence and make them aware of the great issues of the world. Take Nelu for example: he was on the barricades of the <a href="http://www.rosiamontana.org/en/">Roşia Montană</a> fight ever since its beginning, and this is largely due to Archie's influence.</span></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Acum, la maturitate, Archie nu mai aruncă cu aluat după oameni, însă poate fi zărit la majoritatea protestelor din marile oraşe, cu creasta lui de punker şi o pancartă mai mare decât el. Influenţa lui e destul de puternică încât a reuşit să urnească şi alţi mişumaci domestici din existenţele lor comode şi să-i sensibilizeze faţă de problemele lumii. Uite, de exemplu Nelu (Bulinel, în buletin) a fost pe baricadele luptei pentru Roşia Montană încă de la începuturi, lucru care se datorează în mare parte influenţei lui Archie.</span></span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #660000;">I wouldn't be suprised if Archie runs for some political function in Fălushtain soon. And I might even vote for him. I mean, he's civically active, he's involved in his community, he's united, he's against! You wish you were more like him!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Nu m-aş mira ca Archie să candideze la ceva funcţie politică în Fălushtain în curând. Şi io cred că aş şi vota cu el. Adică, e activ civic, e implicat în societate, e puternic, e unit, e împotrivă! Aţi vrea voi să fiţi ca el!</span></span></i></div>

<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'm so well organised that it takes me years to quench the curiosity that you were no doubt consumed by ever since <a href="http://falushtain.blogspot.ro/2011/09/wendy-challenge-part-i.html">this post</a>. But as posting more often was among my (many, most of them unreasonable) New Year resolutions, here is Part II. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i>Sunt atât de bine organizată încât îmi ia ani de zile să vă satisfac curiozitatea care sunt sigură că vă macină de când am scris post-ul ăsta. Dar, devreme ce să scriu mai des pe blog era una din (multele și iraționalele) hotărârile mele de Anul Nou, iată și partea a II-a. </i></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #783f04;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This dress fit perfectly, but it had some golden stitching, which is not really my style. So, in an extremely complex and time-consuming refashion, I unpicked all the golden stitches and replaced them with red ones.</span></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i>Rochia asta imi venea la fix, doar că avea niște cusături aurii care nu erau tocmai pe gustul meu. Astfel, printr-un proces complex și îndelungat, am desfăcut toate cusăturile aurii și le-am înlocuit cu roșu.</i></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Paired with a red cardi, belt and tights, this dress makes for a perfect school outfit. Serious, but cheerful, just like me!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i>Împreună cu un jerseu, o curea și colanți, toate roșii, rochia asta a devenit o ținută perfectă pentru școală. Serioasă dar veselă, ca mine!</i></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Do you remember <a href="http://falushtain.blogspot.ro/2009/12/new-gloth-doll.html">Dr. Maselarovic</a>? Well, today I have the extremely painful pleasure of presenting to you his illustrious colleague, Dr. Fluorian Maxilarian. Armenian by birth, he too seized the rare chance of being able to study at the university of Tirgu Mures, which she graduated with high grades and low spirits.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It would seem that the dental profession is extremely stressful, as Dr.
Maxilarian has an equally serious hair deficiency in common with his above-mentioned colleague. However, apart from being follicularly challenged, Dr. Maxilarian is in excellent health and greatly enjoys cracking jokes and following them with his characteristic evil chuckle.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i>Se pare ca profesia de stomatolog este extrem de stresanta, deoarece Dr. Maxilarian are acelasi deficit de par in comun cu colegul sau mai sus mentionat.

<span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks ago, She took us to a fair. We are used to them already: she puts us on display and people come and look and touch and say oh-look-how-cute and some of us even get adopted, which is a bit heartbreaking, if you ask me, as I never get to see my brothers again, but I guess it's also a good thing, as we muckla are curious beings and it's always good to see other places and live in other people's drawers, since frankly I'm quite sick of the shelf I have to live on at home, where She puts us for weeks on end and nobody comes to play with us unless maybe that new baby comes to visit and nibbles on us a little.</span></div>

Deja suntem obisnuiti cu ele: ne expune si vin oamenii si se uita si pun mana si zic vai-uite-ce-dragut si unii dintre noi sunt chiar adoptati, ceea ce e un pic tragic dupa parerea mea, pentru ca nu mai apuc sa-mi vad fratii niciodata, dar presupun ca e si ceva bun, fiindca noi mishumacii suntem fiinte curioase si intotdeauna e fain sa vezi alte locuri si sa locuiesti in sertare la altii, ca sincer sa spun m-am cam saturat de raftul pe care trebuie sa locuiesc acasa, unde Ea ne pune sa stam saptamani de-a randul si nu vine nimeni sa se joace cu noi, numai daca nu vine copilu' ala nou din cand in cand si ne rontzaie un pic. </i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">But what She doesn't know, and I bet you didn't know either, is that we don't really stand still. I mean, come on, we are alert intelligent inquisitive extremely bright beings, and shelves are just too boring. So, whenever people aren't looking, we wander in search of shiny things. We love shiny things. Some of us go <a href="http://bydadabeads.blogspot.com/">shopping</a>...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="color: cyan;">Dar ceea ce nu stie ea, si pun pariu ca nici tu nu stiai, este ca noi nu prea stam linistiti. Adica, sa fim seriosi, suntem fiinte inteligente, curioase, extrem de alerte, si rafturile sunt pur si simplu prea plictisitoare. Asa ca, ori de cate ori nu se uita oamenii, noi plecam in cautare de lucrusoare stralucitoare. Ne place tare mult tot ce straluceste.

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>De fapt, fie ca e timpul sau nu, faima lui nu mai poate fi stavilita. Cunostintele lui in materie de...pai, cam orice, stilul informativ dar accesibil in care scrie, precum si frumusetea lui legendara l-au facut cunoscut peste tot in lume. Dar sa vorbesc despre fiecare pe rand.</i> </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-size: large;">Born in Calcutta, India, Rashid grew up speaking three languages. Sometimes all at once, much to the confusion of his parents, who were in awe of his precocious linguistic intelligence. Recognizing their son's potential, they sent him to Falushtain, to the Kindergarten for Freaks and Unusually Clever Kids (K-FUCK, as it is more commonly known). This penchant for multitasking did not leave young Sheik; he read 3-4 books at once, went to 2 high-schools at the same time and obtained three PhD's. Just because he could. One from the University of Sorbonne, with the paper <i>The Philosophy of Punctuation;</i> One from the University of Uppsala, with the paper <i>Separation Anxiety in the Marauding Nations of the North</i>; and one from Cambridge University, for his invaluable research work into Coulrophobia.</span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">Nascut in Calcutta, Rashid a crescut vorbind 3 limbi. Uneori pe toate deodata, spre confuzia parintilor sai, care erau uimiti de inteligenta lingvistica precoce a fiului lor. Recunoscand potentialul copilului, l-au trimis in Falushtain, la Gradinita pentru Ciudati si Plozi Deosebit de Destepti. Inclinatia lui spre multitasking nu l-a </span></i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">parasit </span></i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">pe micul Sheik nici in anii ce au urmat; citea 3-4 carti odata, a mers la 3 licee in acelasi timp, si a obtinut 3 doctorate. Numa de-aia. Unul de la Universitatea din Sorbona, cu lucrarea </span></i><span style="font-size: small;">Filozofia Punctuatiei; <i>unul de la Universitatea Uppsala, cu lucrarea </i>Anxietatea de Separare la Natiunile Invadatoare din Nord; <i>si unul de la Universitatea Cambridge, pentru munca sa de cercetare in domeniul coulrofobiei.</i></span></span></span> </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-size: large;">Of course, he was made for a brilliant academic career. He has received honorary degrees from pretty much every university that matters in this world. But even if he is an expert in a great variety of fields, his main specialty remains psychiatry. He has written many books on the topic, his latest one being <i>Common Mental Disorders of the Modern Age</i>, published in 2012. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Desigur, Rashid era facut pentru o cariera academica. A primit titluri onorifice de la toate universitatile care conteaza in lumea asta. dar desi este un expert in multe domenii, specialitatea sa principala ramane psihiatria. A scris multe carti in acest domeniu, cea mai recenta fiind </i>Tulburari Mentale Comune in Era Moderna<i>, publicata in 2012.</i></span> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-size: large;">As for his looks...well, ladies, you can judge for yourselves. He is not quite a spring chicken anymore, but the few wrinkles he has only add character to his exotic face. Words such as "hunk", "steamy" and "I definitely would" are often heard whispered in the back of rooms where Rashid may be holding a lecture. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Cat despre cum arata...doamnelor, puteti judeca si singure. Nu mai e chiar un fecior, dar cele cateva riduri pe care le are au adaugat caracter chipului sau exotic.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-size: large;">All in all, Prof. Rashid is a true Renaissance man, a highly accomplished citizen of Falushtain, who makes his country proud. If he were to run for mayor next elections, I think I might vote for him...</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">In concluzie, Rashid este un adevarat om al Renasterii, un cetatean plin de success al Falushtainului, care isi face tara mandra.

Wendy, thoughtful as always, took note of my newly discovered passion for refashioning and sent me (among other lovely b-day gifts) some of her old dresses to use for fabric, or whichever way I see fit. It was a wonderful surprise, and I decided to give myself the challenge to turn each of the dresses into something different. So... let <b>The Wendy Challenge</b> begin! </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-small;"><i>Wendy, grijulie ca intotdeauna, a observat noua mea pasiune pentru modificat haine si mi-a trimis (printre alte cadouri de ziua mea) niste rochii vechi pe care sa le folosesc pentru material, sau in ce fel imi va cadea bine. A fost o surpriza minunata, si m-am decis sa-mi dau eu mie provocarea de a transforma fiecare rochie (+fusta) in ceva diferit. Asa ca...sa inceapa <b>Provocarea Wendy!</b></i></span><br />
<br />
I seek permission to place before the jury...<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-small;"><i>Cer permisiunea de a supune atentiei juratilor...</i></span></div>

Stripy dress, fits perfectly (turns out we're the same size!). It has pockets and a button-down back, which make it all the more awesome. The length is not very flattering, and there's a mysterious belly hole the purpose of which I cannot fathom. Ventilation? Showing off a potential belly button piercing? Modern design?<br />
<span style="color: cyan;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Rochie dungata, mi-e buna la fix (cine-ar fi zis ca purtam exact aceeasi marime!). Are buzunare si se incheie cu nasturi la spate, lucruri care o fac si mai faina. Lungimea nu e chiar potrivita, si are o gaura misterioasa deasupra buricului, a carei scop nu-l pot defini. Ventilatie? Posibilitatea de a-ti arata un potential piercing din buric? Design modern?</span></i></span> </div>

Cute little navy dress, knee-length. This one fits fine too (dammit, I have too many dresses!). Not crazy about the gold thread and the buttons, but that's an easy fix. Very see-through, so it might require a petticoat of some sort. The fabric would be great for making flower-brooches, but I can't bring myself to chop it up. At least not at least after I've worn it a few times.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-small;"><i>O foarte draguta rochita bleumarin, pana la genunchi. Si asta mi-e buna (la naiba, am prea multe rochii!). Nu ma omor dupa firul auriu si dupa nasturi, dar asta e usor de rezolvat. Materialul ar fi excelent pentru brose tip floare, dar parca nu-mi vine s-o ciopartesc inca. Cel putin nu inainte de a o fi purtat macar de cateva ori.</i></span></div>

Very long, very full, very blue skirt. Looks a bit much for me, I wouldn't wear it. So that gives me heaps and heaps of royal blue velvet to use for...something.<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-small;"><i>Fusta foarte lunga, foarte larga, foarte albastra. Cam mult pentru mine, n-as purta-o. Asa ca am stive de catifea albastra s-o folosesc pentru....ceva.</i></span><br />

And, because it wouldn't be a challenge if it didn't force me to do something, I will give myself deadlines for this refashionings. And, because I tend to be lenient with myself, since I'm all I've got, I will only "impose" upon myself one refashion a month. I will keep you posted with the evolution (or lack thereof) of the garments that travelled a long long way across mountains
and oceans and rice fields, to begin a new life in Transylvania. And a big thanks to Wendy for providing me with the extra impulse I needed to venture deeper into the misty woods of refashioning.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-small;"><i>Si, pentru ca n-ar fi provocare daca nu m-ar forta la ceva, o
sa-mi dau date limita pentru modificari. Si, pentru ca tind sa fiu indulgenta cu mine insami ca doar numa' pe mine ma am, imi
"impun" o modificare pe luna. O sa va tin la curent cu evolutia (sau involutia) obiectelor de imbracaminte care au calatorit peste munti si vai si oceane si campuri de orez, pentru a incepe o noua viata in Transilvania.

She makes wonderful, bright, fresh looking quilts.<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: small;"><i>Face niste quilturi minunate, in culori vii si proaspete. </i></span><br />
<br />
And she came up with the brilliant quick piecing idea which helped me make <a href="http://falushtain.blogspot.com/2011/09/mighty-pleased.html">this </a>quilt.<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="color: cyan;">Si a mai avut si ideea geniala care m-a ajutat sa fac quiltul <a href="http://falushtain.blogspot.com/2011/09/mighty-pleased.html">asta</a>. </span></i></span><br />
<br />Her blog is worth a visit, there's plenty of inspiration to be found!<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="color: cyan;">Merita sa-i vizitati blogul, e plin de inspiratie!</span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">I recently had to make a baptism gift for a friend of a friend. I was told that a brown and blue combination would be nice, and that it had to contain a quote and the baby's name. But apart from that I was given total freedom... which is not always helpful.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan; font-size: x-small;"><i>Mi s-a cerut nu demult sa fac un cadou de botez pentru o prietena de-a unei prietene. Mi s-a spus ca ar fi faina o combinatie de albastru cu maro, si ca trebuia sa contina un citat si numele baietelului. Dar in afara de asta, am avut libertate totala...ceea ce nu-i intotdeauna usor.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I racked my brain trying to imagine what the baby's mother (Whom I don't know) might like, and after going back and forth a few times, I came up with the following. Quilt...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="color: cyan;">Mi-am stors creierii incercand sa-mi imaginez ce i-ar placea mamicii copilului (mamica pe care n-o cunosc), si dupa mai multe pendulari, am ajuns la urmatoarele. Quilt..</span>.</i></span></div>

The fabric came from a total amount of 8 thrifted pillowcases (I used every single inch of them!). I must say I am mighty pleased with how it all turned out. I don't know what was the matter with me, but everything went so smoothly: perfectly parallel lines, no tangled balls of thread on the back, no twisted bias binding, no corner of the quilt being accidentally sewn under, no cursing...none of my usual quilting banes! Just placid, cheerful sewing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-small;"><i>Sursa materialului au constituit-o 8 fete de perna de la second (am folosit fiecare centimetru!). Tre sa spun ca sunt tare multumita de cum a iesit totul. Nu stiu ce mi se intamplase, dar totul a mers ca pe roate: linii perfect paralele, fara bile incurcate de atza pe dos, fara binding sucit, fara sa prind din greseala vreun colt de quilt in cusatura, fara injuraturi...nimic din problemele mele obisnuite cand fac un quilt. </i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also employed a trick for easy piecing, which I found <a href="http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2009/10/elizabeths-fabric-focus-quick-piece-tiny-squares/">here</a>, and which is total genius! Thank you, Elizabeth, for enabling me to come up with the best aligned squares of my life. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-small;"><i>Am folosit si un truc de unit patratele, pe care l-am gasit <a href="http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2009/10/elizabeths-fabric-focus-quick-piece-tiny-squares/">aici</a>, si care e absolut genial!

But above all, I loved working with this colour combination. I found it so soothing that I just couldn't stop staring at the fabrics. I must make something in these colours again.</div>

I think I'm not alone in the belief that the fair was quite a success. For three days, the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jai-Bistrot/219539544736118">garden </a>was filled with colourful smiling people.

This was the largest quilt I've ever made (130cm x 190cm) and also my first man-quilt.<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">V-am promis povestea facerii acestui quilt, deci iat-o. Asta a fost cel mai mare quilt pe care l-am facut pana acum (130x190), precum si primul quilt de barbati.</span></span></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />I had the idea in a flash of genius: hey, I could stencil those little dancing people he likes so much on some fabric, then turn the fabric into a quilt! His favourite colour combination being green and black, I went to search for some green fabric. The one below was the only green I could find that was cotton, and large enough. I wasn't crazy about the shade, but I figured it might look different once it was covered in LDPs (= little dancing people).<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Ideea mi-a venit intr-o strafulgerare de geniu: hei, as putea picta omuletii aia care-i plac asa de mult pe un material, iar apoi sa fac un quilt din material! Combinatia lui preferata fiind verde cu negru, am plecat in cautare de verde. Singurul verde pe care l-am gasit si care sa fie si bumbac si destul de mare a fost cel de mai jos. </span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">Nu ma omoram dupa nuanta, dar</span></span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">m-am gandit ca va arata altfel odata ce va fi acoperit cu ODi (omuleti dansand).</span></span><br /><br />I had a forest green fabric paint which looked quite nice, and I made stencils out of a plastic cover from one of my uni folders (what, it was all I had on hand at the time). And I started painting.<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Aveam o vopsea pt textile de un verde-brad care arata bine; am facut sabloane din coperta de plastic a unui dosar pe care-l folosesc la scoala (ce, aia aveam la indemana!). Si m-am apucat de pictat.</span></span></span><br /><br />1270 done, 2348 to go....<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">1270 gata, mai am 2348...</span></span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdpih6zoWFMTb13U1yQLSeLGn2_BESPkLA9o_0dfQdLcWKDBHryt9h-h9ELv8uKNDQAtVqPi0z9ex1udtib_tlP2TKK7WnPENkinaW2so9ypYglkzUtIjgZQyhvEsCpiWKWLI4gBYzI4s/s1600/DSC02901.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdpih6zoWFMTb13U1yQLSeLGn2_BESPkLA9o_0dfQdLcWKDBHryt9h-h9ELv8uKNDQAtVqPi0z9ex1udtib_tlP2TKK7WnPENkinaW2so9ypYglkzUtIjgZQyhvEsCpiWKWLI4gBYzI4s/s320/DSC02901.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632171096427205426" border="0" /></a>To be fair, I estimate about 5 LDPs per block, so that would mean I stencilled approximately 250 of them.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="font-style: italic;">Pentru corectitudine, am estimat cam 5 ODi per bloc, deci asta ar insemna ca am pictat cam 250 in total.</span></span></span><br /><br />As we all know, Murphy never sleeps! I soon ran out of fabric paint. I ran to the store to get some more, but it was that exact shade that they had run out of. I decided to take the next closest shade. I mean, it was just one number down, how different could it be? This different!<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Dupa cum stim, Murphy nu doarme niciodata! Mi s-a terminat repede vopseaua pt textile. Am fugit la magazin sa mai iau dar exact nuanta aia n-o mai aveau. Am luat nuanta cea mai apropiata. In fond, era diferenta de doar un numar, cate de diferita putea sa fie? Asa de diferita!</span></span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpQgEbZluTddmk-1LRoY1M9n4re3LXbscop4H-lzTjTzwxnS0l_Ooic-PbB7gvjfJhepaTWQCtpC0FqNLdjKK3pTaBWK8RC0Wl7G4dtXrhLlt8rKFkXdvPMJhib0nKuUf-qYM7YzsgUy8/s1600/DSC03013.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpQgEbZluTddmk-1LRoY1M9n4re3LXbscop4H-lzTjTzwxnS0l_Ooic-PbB7gvjfJhepaTWQCtpC0FqNLdjKK3pTaBWK8RC0Wl7G4dtXrhLlt8rKFkXdvPMJhib0nKuUf-qYM7YzsgUy8/s320/DSC03013.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632176779252315074" border="0" /></a>I mixed it with white and yellow and brown and light green and blue and purple in an attempt to get it closer to the original shade, but what I ended up with was a sort of rancid furry mold colour. Oh well, I went on with it, waiting to see what it would look like when cut into blocks. I ended up with blocks that had both shades, and some blocks that had only one of the shades:<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Am amestecat-o cu alb si galben su maro si verde deschis si albastru si mov in incercarea de a o aduce mai aproape de nuanta originala, dar am ajuns la o culoare de mucegai blanos ranced. Ma rog, am mers mai departe, hotarata sa vad cum va arata odata ce mterialul va fi taiat in blocuri. Mi-au iesit blocuri cu ambele nuante, si blocuri care aveau doar una din nuante:</span></span></span><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7GQohM6I7CV2ARxYi3OW6o7IoAPT7ExnD0bGRrVb04lHPPcTr4b09J7yykRgVPNyiaKeqJz1YLn8rE8IyiDrDKNw5M39sYac9k6oqLN5nA3YjPZ6-jW7uchdAVMvNzL03_wEqqWmR1Fs/s1600/DSC03010.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7GQohM6I7CV2ARxYi3OW6o7IoAPT7ExnD0bGRrVb04lHPPcTr4b09J7yykRgVPNyiaKeqJz1YLn8rE8IyiDrDKNw5M39sYac9k6oqLN5nA3YjPZ6-jW7uchdAVMvNzL03_wEqqWmR1Fs/s320/DSC03010.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632176774601185346" border="0" /></a>I laid out the blocks on the bed...<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Am pus blocurile pe pat...</span></span></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgewchkZupKv-SVEaq97dSyWg1a_H6ViaDBrGSmGq6qBTTEiZnE0tytMbd9H9T9Tsu968bpOoegeJ2IQWc7uPrfBrRiUPUhmPxiiK8mOwEyLOe6ftDPUkkVFDzf4Wmtj9fW0wKyuAIaRIQ/s1600/DSC02993.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgewchkZupKv-SVEaq97dSyWg1a_H6ViaDBrGSmGq6qBTTEiZnE0tytMbd9H9T9Tsu968bpOoegeJ2IQWc7uPrfBrRiUPUhmPxiiK8mOwEyLOe6ftDPUkkVFDzf4Wmtj9fW0wKyuAIaRIQ/s320/DSC02993.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632176771170469394" border="0" /></a>...and YUCK! Nothing worked: the three greens smashed together, with the black border, it all looked awful to me. There was no way I would offer this as a birthday present. Maybe to a half-blind dog to sleep on.<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">...si BLEAH! Nimic nu se potrivea: trei nuante de verde trantite impreuna, cu marginea neagra, arata groaznic. N-aveam cum sa ofer asa ceva drept cadou de zi de nastere. Poate unui caine pe jumate orb, sa doarma pe el.</span></span></span><br /><br />Not sure what to do, I left it aside and went to look for fabric for the other presents.<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Nu stiam ce sa fac, asa ca l-am pus deoparte si am plecat sa caut materiale pentru celelalte cadouri.</span></span></span><br /><br />And what do I find? A huge, oh-so-soft sheet in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">perfect </span>shade of green! I'm sure Murphy was snickering down at me while I was standing in the shop, wandering if I should laugh, swear or just buy the damn sheet. I bought it.<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Si ce gasesc? Un cearsaf mare, super-moale, in nuanta <span style="font-weight: bold;">perfecta</span> de verde! Cred ca Murphy se prapadea de ras in timp ce eu stateam in magazin, intrebandu-ma daca sa rad, sa injur sau sa cumpar naibii materialul. L-am cumparat.</span></span></span><br /><br />So off come two more plastic folder covers, to be turned into larger stencils, and the process begins again. This time, though, I decided to pre-cut the blocks and only put one large LDP in the middle of each, to save me some time. Also, no more green paint. Black will do, thank you very much. Here's what the first blocks looked like:<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Asa ca sunt sacrificate inca doua coperte de dosare, pentru a fi transformate in sabloane mai mari, si procesul reincepe. Insa de data asta am decis sa tai blocurile dinainte si sa pun numai cate un OD mare in mijlocul fiecarui bloc, ca sa mai economisesc timp. De data asta fara vopsea verde, e bine si negru. Iata cum au iesit primele blocuri:</span></span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sK2FrjOKS4Y/Til9xjE1HlI/AAAAAAAADP8/9TSle9jju8Y/s1600/DSC02955.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sK2FrjOKS4Y/Til9xjE1HlI/AAAAAAAADP8/9TSle9jju8Y/s320/DSC02955.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632171099186077266" border="0" /></a>Excited about the obvious improvement, I almost forgot the drudgery of having painted and ironed another 45 LFDPs (little friggin dancing people). I got some pretty well aligned seams too:<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Entuziasmata de imbunatatirea evidenta, aproape am uitat efortul si plictiseala de a fi pictat inca 45 de OND (omuletii naibii dansand). Am nimerit si cusaturile destul de aliniate:</span></span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbGRBUKC3VwjVXfwrfq5lyD0z9qyjH6Lx6IVSMtZwbomDDdkOhZLfyaK_GNvg_GrBs07TQe3UJ128yKLzi2YKN7OhjpkE5-3ulkJK14u1XDLDG9GfeT8G8x8EeQPsOhFSEp8JGbN692BA/s1600/DSC02957.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbGRBUKC3VwjVXfwrfq5lyD0z9qyjH6Lx6IVSMtZwbomDDdkOhZLfyaK_GNvg_GrBs07TQe3UJ128yKLzi2YKN7OhjpkE5-3ulkJK14u1XDLDG9GfeT8G8x8EeQPsOhFSEp8JGbN692BA/s320/DSC02957.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632171104816335570" border="0" /></a>Being such a large quilt.

And it was a lovely holiday, except for the car crash they had on the very last day. They were not very seriously injured, but the accident kept everyone in the country longer than previously planned.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Luna trecuta m-am intalnit cu o veche prietena din liceu, venita in vacanta in Romania, cu sotul si socrii ei englezi. Si a fost o vacanta minunata, cu exceptia accidentului de masina din ultima zi. N-au fost raniti foarte grav, dar accidentul i-a tinut in tara mai mult decat era planificat.</span></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiudgJrtU180LzHCWCdU60udQhwb5P4sPDkSlMHq4BuPx6NdVpwkXA64XQmWG46bgfDmkg1WfCd4q4zvp5KoLHtvkn30UGp8cNyi_S4ntCGmwwMVHRNSaikTEdGNo0ZN2YDcXe6TVuGUhY/s1600/DSC_1162.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiudgJrtU180LzHCWCdU60udQhwb5P4sPDkSlMHq4BuPx6NdVpwkXA64XQmWG46bgfDmkg1WfCd4q4zvp5KoLHtvkn30UGp8cNyi_S4ntCGmwwMVHRNSaikTEdGNo0ZN2YDcXe6TVuGUhY/s320/DSC_1162.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629185324205924610" border="0" /></a>Which gave me the chance to spend more time with Maureen, who is a <span style="font-weight: bold;">quilter</span>! Can you imagine that? A real, flesh-and-blood quilter, who owns sewing machines and buys fabrics, organises tea parties and is part of several (several!) quilting and embroidery clubs. Such a character might sound like a myth to someone living in a country with no fabric shops and no "quilt" in the dictionary. But mark my words, my crafty Romanian sisters, they do exist!<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Ceea ce mi-a dat ocazia sa petrec mai mult timp cu Maureen, care face quilturi! Puteti sa va imaginati asa ceva? O persoana in carne si oase, care are masini de cusut si cumpara materiale si organizeaza serate englezeti si face marte din mai multe (mai multe) cluburi de quilt si broderie. Asa ceva ar putea parea un mit celor ce locuiesc intr-o tara fara magazine de materiale si fara cuvantul "quilt" in dictionar. Dar luati aminte la vorbele mele, exista!</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span>She was kind enough to spend an afternoon at my place, and we talked and talked. I actually used words like "mitre" and "bias binding" and "applique", words which I knew but had never uttered in my life, for lack of anyone who would understand them.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">A fost draguta si a petrecut o dupa amiaza la mine acasa, si am vorbit intr-una. Am apucat sa folosesc cuvinte cum ar fi "mitre" si "bias binding" si "applique", cuvinte pe care le stiam dar pe care nu le-am rostit niciodata in viata mea, pentru ca nu aveam cui.</span></span><br /><br />Talking to her for a few hours was a sensory overload that only reading 5 new craft magazines at the same time could give you.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Vorbind cu ea cateva ore m-am simtit de parca as fi citit 5 reviste de craft noi, toate in acelasi timp.</span></span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This miracle made me decide to revive my Green Monday, so from now on I'll do a post every Monday, expressing my envy towards those more craftily endowed or fortunate than me. All in good humour, though! :) (more or less)<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Acest miracol m-a determinat sa hotarast reinvierea Lunilor Verzi, asa ca de acum inainte voi posta in fiecare luni, exprimandu-mi invidia fata de cei/cele mai inzestrate sau mai norocoase decat mine din punct de vedere al craftului</span>. <span style="font-style: italic;">Totul in mod amical, desigur! (mai mult sau mai putin)</span></span>.<br /></div></div></div>NeMehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01573116845543046805noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784077972910666705.post-73932879304459454112011-07-03T18:31:00.005+03:002011-07-03T20:50:18.704+03:00In the beginning, there were pyjamas<div style="text-align: justify;">It all started with pyjamas. I needed some. I found these and instantly loved the design and colour.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Totul a inceput cu pijamaua. Imi trebuia una. Am gasit-o pe asta si mi-a placut imediat modelul si culoarea.</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x99AcY92TF8/ThCMH7KvJ_I/AAAAAAAADNw/D-3dLbVQnkQ/s1600/DSC01580.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x99AcY92TF8/ThCMH7KvJ_I/AAAAAAAADNw/D-3dLbVQnkQ/s320/DSC01580.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625150002355447794" border="0" /></a>But, while walking home after having bought my new happy pretty jammies, I had...<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Dar, in timp ce ma intorceam acasa cu proaspat cumparata pijama, am avut...</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Revelation 1</span>: Hey, this fabric is way too nice to only be worn in the dark. Is there a way to turn this into something wearable outdoors too?<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Revelatia 1:</span> Hei, materialul asta e prea fain ca sa fie purtat numai pe intuneric. Oare exista vreo cale de a transforma pijamaua asta in ceva purtabil si afara?</span></span><br /><br />It turns out there was, and this lead the way to my first ever refashion: the PJ dress!<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Se pare ca a existat, si asta a condus la prima mea transformare vestimentara: rochia pijama!</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bSxmBOQd1Nc/ThCMI1YgvfI/AAAAAAAADOI/FIMdwV97Xys/s1600/DSC02891.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bSxmBOQd1Nc/ThCMI1YgvfI/AAAAAAAADOI/FIMdwV97Xys/s320/DSC02891.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625150017982479858" border="0" /></a>I chopped the pants up and re-assembled them into skirt panels, shortened the top, added some lace and satin here and there, as well as a tulle underskirt and I was quite pleased with the result!<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Am taiat pantalonii si i-am reasamblat in segmente de fusta, am scurtat maioul, am adaugat niste dantela si satin pe ici pe colo, precum si un jupon de tulle, si am fost foarte satisfacuta de rezultat!</span></span><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0yxD8j3KwsFFR_rbUMuLqIEPCmIeZ_Y30WhucrEyFEocISe4TTfgYFJHmonLMuuWViA-lIHorLM0AdjZp_zve-pwsro_AiHBoIMx9a3fmIDftJ4ISu3pcP9toJuWTZgcXDHynDLsca80/s1600/DSC02889.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 223px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0yxD8j3KwsFFR_rbUMuLqIEPCmIeZ_Y30WhucrEyFEocISe4TTfgYFJHmonLMuuWViA-lIHorLM0AdjZp_zve-pwsro_AiHBoIMx9a3fmIDftJ4ISu3pcP9toJuWTZgcXDHynDLsca80/s320/DSC02889.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625150012275918594" border="0" /></a>This first success lead to...<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Acest prim succes a condus la...</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Revelation 2: </span>Hey, I can do this refashioning thing too! Let the dull and the ill-fitting come to me, and do not hinder them.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Revelatia 2:</span> Hei, se pare ca pot si eu sa fac chestia asta cu transformatu'! Lasati plicticoasele si nepotrivitele sa vina la mine!</span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I saw my shopping horizons instantly broadened: now I could buy things that didn't quite fit, simply because I loved the fabric. I could always turn the item into something else. So I got onto my second ever refashion. I had had this shirt for a while, thinking I would use the fabric for a quilt or doll dress. It was blah: bulky, uncomfortable and not very flattering, with the hippie pointed collar and all:<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Mi-am vazut orizonturile comerciale largite instantaneu: acum pot cumpara si lucruri care nu-mi sunt bune, doar pentru ca-mi place materialul. Pot oricand sa transform un obiect de imbracaminte in altceva. Asa ca m-am apucat de a doua transformare. Aveam camasa asta de o vreme, gandindu-ma ca voi folosi materialul intr-un quilt sau o rochita pentru papusi. Era bla: mare, incomoda, si cu un guler ascutit, hippie:</span></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg69ZeA7yjpMFGj1B0CFUhwRb-UiPo3o4gnXZoz4tJXyubs28V4oXs7V38LnK-MrSJ-ekSJ8BET14idBypEjTrErOLQzf8YDZ3jFFndjB1KtGCJMcyT4h53276dKu9lb6vJVHK7yAOT64/s1600/DSC01921.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg69ZeA7yjpMFGj1B0CFUhwRb-UiPo3o4gnXZoz4tJXyubs28V4oXs7V38LnK-MrSJ-ekSJ8BET14idBypEjTrErOLQzf8YDZ3jFFndjB1KtGCJMcyT4h53276dKu9lb6vJVHK7yAOT64/s320/DSC01921.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625150011497739362" border="0" /></a>So I cut and pinned and rounded and almost dislocated a shoulder in the process of trying to work on the back of the shirt while actually wearing it, but I finally ended up with this:<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Asa ca am taiat si am prins cu ace si am rotunjit si aproape mi-am dislocat un umar in procesul de a lucra la spatele camasii in timp ce o purtam. Dar in final mi-a iesit asta:</span></span><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sYxbX7_HYLA/ThCehGBamEI/AAAAAAAADOc/1wA1G3Yj2SU/s1600/DSC02898.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sYxbX7_HYLA/ThCehGBamEI/AAAAAAAADOc/1wA1G3Yj2SU/s320/DSC02898.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625170225975171138" border="0" /></a>Short puff sleeves (I think that's what they're called), rounded collar (that was a lot of work to transform!) and a more fitted waist. Easy to integrate in a respectable teacher's outfit:<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Maneci scurte, guler rotunjit (am lucrat la ala, nu gluma!) si o talie mai stransa. Usor de incorporat intr-o tinuta de profa respectabila:</span></span><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4_h32KLLmi8/ThCMJC_WlqI/AAAAAAAADOQ/K7gflq-V9qU/s1600/DSC02893.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4_h32KLLmi8/ThCMJC_WlqI/AAAAAAAADOQ/K7gflq-V9qU/s320/DSC02893.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625150021635053218" border="0" /></a>And thus begin my clothes-altering adventures.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Si iata cum incep aventurile mele pe taramul transformarii hainelor. </span></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I think this is the beginning of a beautiful frenship... :)<br /></div><br /></div>NeMehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01573116845543046805noreply@blogger.com4
