Poletni intervju / Summer Interview

fotografija: Maj Pavček

Na tole objavo sem kar malo pozabila, ob vseh prigodah v zadnjih dveh tednih. Petra Tkalčec, ki piše zanimiv blog Bag of Pretty, me je spet prijazno povabila k sodelovanju. Petra, ki živi v Budimpešti, soustvarja in piše tudi za EastOK Europe, spletno lifestyle revijo, ki je namenjena tistim, ki jih zanima dogajanje in umetniško vrenje v vzhodni Evropi.
Tokrat je želela predstaviti Zavod lab laar oziroma Majo in mene, kot ustanoviteljici in gonilni sili projekta. Intervju je kratek in poletno lahkoten, napisan je pa v angleškem jeziku. Te objave sem še posebno vesela, ker naju zanimajo tudi ustvarjalci iz sosednjih dežel. Če poznate kakšnega res zanimivega, kar z besedo na dan prosim.

With all the adventures in the last two weeks I was not very focused and so I have forgotten to mention you an lovely presentation of lab laar institute . Petra Tkalčec who writes an interesting blog Bag of Pretty, kindly invited me (and maja this time) once again to answer some questions. Petra, who lives in Budapest, is co-creating and writeing for EastOK Europe, online lifestyle magazine that is intended for those who want to fully enjoy the Easteren Europe.

This time, she wanted to present the Institute lab Laar and Maya and me, as the founder and driving force of the project. The interview was short and in the spiurit of summer lazyness and it is written in English language. This post I'm especially glad about this presentation us we are also very interested in artists from neighbor countries. If you know someone really interesting, I'll be more then pleased to hear your suggestions.

LUNA

Naša mala Luna je zrasla, 16.avgusta je praznovala svoj 1.rojstni dan. Prav na rojstni dan smo imeli tudi foto sešn, ki je le napol uspel. Med rekviziti je bila tudi mesna tortica z eno luštno progasto svečko, ki jo je Luna takoj zgrizla in se v svojem običajnem slogu velikega lakotnika zakadila v tortico.
Življenje z terierčkom je zabavno in predvsem zelo aktivno. Mi ji pravimo kar naša mala osebna trenerka, ker nas tudi, ko se nam najmanj ljubi, vedno zvleče ven in če se le da na hrib.
Frida je bila seveda tudi povabljena na zabavo in malo je manjkalo pa bi Luna snedla še njeno paštetko. Saj tega ne dela iz zlobe, preprosto si ne more pomagat. Frida je njena najboljs prjatlca, pa tudi malo starejša, zrelejša je in hvala bogu ne preveč zamerljiva, tko da ni bilo hude krvi.
Takle imamo.

Summer days / Part 2

Saj že veste, da zelo rada fotografiram, ane da veste? O svojem navdušenju nad Instagramom sem tudi že govorila. Se pa stopnjuje, to poletje sem namreč popolnoma pozabila na fotoaparat.

Poletje je prijetno, veliko pobegov v naravo, druženja ob rekah in jezerih in posedanja na terasi. Ko bi vsaj še malo dalj trajalo, zdaj me namreč že preganja tisti občutek, da bo te uživancije še prekmalu konec. Se moram pa malo pohvaliti, sem bila pridna in sem šivala. Nastala je ena manša serija, ki je odromala v Iko, dve sta pa ostali pri meni, ker sta mi bili tako všeč. Bom vzela fotoaparat v roke, poslikala in vam jih postavila na ogled. Komaj čakam vaša mnenja.

You allready know how much I enjoy taking pictures, right? My enthusiasm about Instagram has also been revealed already. This summer I took all my photos with my phone. I just did not bother carrying around the real camera.

Summer feels so nice, with all great escapes into the nature, spending time with frends by the rivers and lakes hire in Slovenia, and I can't forget to mention lovely  gatherings on our patio. I just wish the summer would last a little longer.  

But do not think there is only party and relaxing going on hire. I was a good girl and recently I made a small sery of cats. They are already in store waiting for somebody to adopt them. I kept two of them at home for a while since I couldn't separate from them. I'll take a few pictures with a real camera and show them to you soon . Can't wait your for opinions.

Summer days / Part 1

Ni kaj poletna shema je. Pri meni nič kaj veliko novega. Lab laarov projekt "Delavnica polna nereda" mi še vedno zavzema večino časa, mucki so še vedno bolj ali manj na čakanju. Trenutno je ena serija v delu in seveda, komaj čakam, da vam jih spet malo pokažem.
Ta velik dopust je žal že mimo, luštno je bilo, tako kot ponavadi. Lenobni poletni dnevi še pridejo na vrsto in jaz bom, tako kot spet pridno instagramirala.
Letos sem zelo malo fotografirala z fotoaparatom, večina fotografij je nastala z mobitelom. Tudi če niso čisto ostre, so mi všeč. Se spomnite serije Tri reči ? Tokrat sem iz instagramov naredila kolaže, današnji so iz Hvara, kjer smo bili na družinskih počitnicah.
Kako pa vi kaj preživljate poletje? Se kaj pritožujete nad vročino? Jaz se raje ne, ker sem kar naprej in preglasno bentila nad predolgo zimo ;).

There is not very much going on lately, that is whay I'm not posting very offten. I'm still working on lab laars project "A messy workshop" wich still occupies most of my time. My kittens and Studoi13 are still waiting for me to find more time for them. There is one serie of Cats tough I'm working on currently and of course, I can't wait to show them to you again.
Our family  vacations are unfortunately already passed, it was kind of cute, as usual. But lazy summer days are still to come and I'll as usually take a lot of photos.

This year I took very few photos with my camera, most of the images are created by the mobile phone. Even if they are not quite sharp, I like them. Do you remember my Instagram post series Tri reči? This time I made ​​collages from Instagram photos.  This ones today are from Hvar, where we were on family vacation.

And how did you spend your summer wacations? Are you complaining about how hot it is? I prefer not to, because I was so very frustrated about too long winter and could not spare words about it too ;).

Vrtnice / Roses

Kako malo je včasih potrebno, da je ženska zadovoljna. Pred parimi urami sem domov prišla z polno košaro čudovitih dišečih vrtnic, s katerimi me je založila gospa Elizabeta. Zraven mi je dala še kozarček njene famozne vrtnične marmelade, ki sem jo vedno oboževala. "Cila sritna" bi rekli moji dalmatinski prijatelji, sem  zdaj že v svojem kotičku, listam novo poletno številko e-revije Dom in Stil in se veselim Aninih receptov z vrtnicami. Nekaj jih bom vkuhala v marmelado, nekaj posušila za čaj, malo pa jih bom tudi kandirala, da bodo pozimi sladice še bolje teknile.
Tokratna izdaja revije, mi je še posebno všeč, kot vedno pa je polna dobrih receptov, odličnih fotografij in idej za ustvarjanje. Vas zanima? Poglejte si tukaj.

Sometimes there are small things and gestures that can make a woman happy. That happend to me today. A cuple of hours ago I came home with a basket full of beautiful and fragant roses, wich were a gift from Mrs. Elizabeta. She allso gave me one jar of her famous roses jam, wich I have always adored. I'm sitting in my favorite corner wright now, with my happy face and enjoying reading a brand new edition of a e-magazine Dom in Stil. This is a beautiful edition and there are a lot of  recepies with roses from a very  talented Ana. I'm definitely gonna get inspired and make myself all sorts of goodies from that smelling roses.

Back to routine

Gari Kasparov protiv cilog svita (Split) / Garry Kasparov against all ( Split)

Že slab teden sem spet doma, sicer pa še vedno na nizkih obratih. Nič se mi ne prestavlja v višjo prestavo, čeprav vem, da bo kar treba.
Po dolgih letih sva se z U. in tokrat tudi s škorčki vrnila na Hvar, v Vrbosko, kjer imava krasne spomine in dobre prijatelje. Slednji so redki in zato še toliko bolj cenjeni. A veste tisto, ko se z nekom ne vidiš in ne slišiš 100 let, potem se pa srečaš in nadaljuješ točno tam, kjer si končal. Nobenih uvodov, nobenega tipanja, formalnih vprašanj in podobno. No, to je tisto pravo in kar šteje, zato imam take ljudi rada.
Sicer ne bom prav veliko govorila. Počitnice so bile super, to je jasno, kot je jasno tudi, da bi jih podaljšala še za dva tedna, če bi se dalo.
Po drugi strani pa sem vesela tudi vrnitve, vas dragih blogovskih prijateljev in novih izzivov, ki se rišejo v prihodnosti. Na zadnjem kolažu so verižice, ki so nastale na morju. Malo zato, ker šivalnega stroja ne morem nositi okrog, predvsem pa, ker je zabavno to nizanje perlic. Poleg slednjih sem s seboj nesla tudi akvarele in se po dolgem času spravila k slikanju. Skrajni čas, sploh glede na to, da je to ena izmed mojih ljubših oblik ustvarjanja, ko pozabim na čas in samo uživam. Samo tega vam zaenkrat še ne bom pokazala, rabim več časa in malo poguma.

Igranje z perlami / Playing with pearls

It is allmost a week since I'am back home from hollidays, but it seems I still can't slip ito daily routine. Eaven tough I know I will have to, as sooner as better.
After many years U. and I,  this time also with kids, returned back to Hvar, to lovely Vrboska, where we have wonderful memories and good friends. Such people are rare and therefore all the more appreciated. I´am talking about that great feeling when you meet someone you did not see or hear from for about 100 years, but then you meet and carry on exactly where you left off. No formal questions, no small talk you just start conversation like you saw each other last night. Well, that's what counts, and that's why I apriciate and love these kind of people.
The hollidays were great and I would love to have a few more weeks there, if that would be possible.On the other hand, I am also happy to be back and to hear from you, my precious blog friends. There are allso some interesting new challenges, waiting for me in the future. As the september is aproaching I'am getting more exited.
I've made some collages for you, a few impressions from great time We  have spend on Hvar. This last one shows some new and totally diferent things I started playing with. Well, I could not take a sewing machine with me, so I took the pearls and my watercolors. Yes I paint to, but unfortunatly not enough offten, since that is one of my favorite art form. I intend to show you my paintings and drawings once, but not now. I need some more time and curage.

Sejem / park Tabor

Na sejem v parku Tabor me je že pred časom opozorila Irena, ki mi je tudi prijazno posredovala prijavnico. Na sejem se nisem prijavila, ker je bil junij divji in mi časa za ustvarjanje ni ostalo prav veliko.
Včeraj smo na morje odpravili našega ta velikega škorca. Ta mali škorček je neutolažljivo jokal, zato sva ga odpeljala na sladoled in jaz sem to priložnost izkoristila za ogled sejma na Taboru. Zelo sem vesela, da sem uspela spoznati in poklepetati z Darsi Darjo, pa Mucamaca Majo, Miss Polka in čisto na hitro tudi  Lovely Blanko. Sejem je bil zelo prijeten in v zavetju parka je bila vročina veliko bolj znosna. Veliko je bilo postavljenega na ogled, mene pa so najbolj pritegnila mila in fotografije Tine Umer. Morda bi tukaj pripisala še kaj če se ne bi zgodilo prijetno naključje. Med stojnicami se je sukal tudi najin dragi prijatelj s katerim se nismo videli že zares celo večnost (tisti kuža tam zgoraj je njegov Miki). Druženje smo nato nadaljevali v bližnji kavarni.
Ker smo se od doma odpravili v naglici, kot običajno, sem fotoaparat pozabila doma. Tile kolaži so sestavljeni iz instagramov, ki me trenutno nadvse zabavajo. Ugotavljam pa, da za povečave niso ravno primerni. Kaj pa vi, ki še niste na morju, počnete te dni?

V pričakovanju / Great expectation

Nedelja je bila vroča in lenobna. Midva z Nilom sva se malo podrenjala na gugalnici, ker je mreža preparela in mamika čisto pretežka zanjo :). Takole sva se crkljala v težkem pričakovanju naših Grkov.  V ozadju se je vrtela najina muzika za zabavo, Potumayo Kids, French playground. Vas zanima kateri komad prevrtavava vedno znova? Tale spodaj.

Sunday was hot and lazy. Most of it I spend hanging around with Nil in the garden. We squeezed together on a swing while hammock has weathered and mummy is just to heavy to lay on it :). This is how we were cuddling and eagerly waiting for our dear  Greek relatives to come. We were listening our favorite party cd, wich is Potumayo Kids, French playground. And there is one song that we have to repeat all the time. Do you want ti hear it? Look at the video.

S sonca pod kap

Kaj pa naj človek drugega naredi, kadar so takšni "pasji" dnevi. Z mojimi fanti smo se odpravili v Bohinj, ki je naša najpogostejša poletna destinacija. Poleg morja, se razume. Ker smo letos na morju manj kot običajno, se pogosteje odpravimo na Gorenjsko. Pa tudi na Dolenjsko gremo radi, k našim dragim prijateljem, ležat pod trto in se vozit s traktorjem. Zdaj, ko imamo vsi škorčke, nič več ne skačemo v mrzlo Krko, ampak se raje zapeljemo v Dolenjske toplice. Tudi prav, samo da je zraven voda. Če ni jezera, reke ali bazena, pa se tudi najde priročna rešitev. Tu so vodne bombe, ki jih imamo pri sebi vedno polne žepe, kar tako, za vsak primer, če komu postane neznosno vroče ali pa malo drugače, bolj za hec. Malo sem že naveličana poletne vročine, čeprav mi je po drugi strani kar malce žal, da se že izteka. Tako je vsako leto: težko čakam na novi letni čas, kar koli že ta prinaša - jesenske barve, buče, hladnejše dneve in sneg, ali pa vnovično prebujenje narave .... Kmalu ko se bo jesen zresnila in dozorela, bom začela pogrešati lahna oblačilca in poležavanja v viseči mreži.

These last few days are too hot to work, so me and my boys decided to cool down in our usual sommer destination Lake Bohinj. We also went to wisit our dear frends in the contryside of Dolenjska region, where we use to swim in a beautifoul river Krka. But now we all have small kids, and we adapt, chooseing a compromise, swiming pool in Spa Dolenjske toplice. But just in case there is no lake, river or even no swiming pool, we allways carry water bombs in our pockets. They are great, we love them! I'm allready looking forvard a new season, Autumn colors, colder days and new hollidays....in one way. But when the Autumn starts to become more and more cold and rainy, I'll miss the laisy sommer days again. Same story, every year. Vsakič ista zgodba.
