Täiskasvanud Õppija Nädal Viskoosas/Adult Learning week
Riia/Riga
Kuremäe
Kalvi
Kolm eriti kiiret nädalat.....nendega põhjendan oma vaikimist blogis. Aga olen reisinud Ida-Virus kahel nädalavahetusel ja Lätimaal eelmisel nädalavahetusel. Panen mõne pildi, kuni on aega veidi pikemalt kirjutada

Last three weeks have been sooooooooo busy. Little trips took me to the East-Estonia. Two week-end's I spent there but it was very interesting. And last weekend we (teachers from our school) spent very good time in Latvia. It was fun!
I put some photos here. And I really try to write about these trip's soon.

teisipäev, oktoober 3

Olen juba pikka aega mõelnud oma blogi lugejatele ja tahtnud tervitada teid:)Lihtsalt niisama ja ilma igasuguse tagamõtteta. Tean et osa on ka kommenteerijad (mhmm...ingliskeelseid lugejaid on nende hulgas küll suurem enamus) ja osa niisama vaatajad. Tore on teada, et seal olete ja ärge olge nii tagasihoidlikud endast teada andma :)

Aga kahe nädalavahetuse reisidest pikemalt edaspidi.

I have been thinging about you, my readers. It's good to know that someone think that my life is interesting and my craft is nice. I have got so many good reviews from you. Thanks!
Don't be so shy and let me know how you are :)

About my weekends...maybe I have time to write about it tomorrow...at least I hope so :)

Meel on kurb...kaks tuttavat inimest on siinilmas vähem. Üks ema töökaaslase abikaasa...kaugel maal meie hulgast lahkunud. Ja endine õpilane...ja sellest vaid paar aastat kui ta veel meie koolis oli. Miks juhtub headele inimestele ja heade inimestega. Oma mõtetes olen nende peredega, soovides neile hingejõudu saata.

I feel sad, my mom's coworker's husband is dead and it's happend far avay from Estonia. Hour ago ame another sad news. One 18 years old girl who graduated from our school tree years ago is also dead. She was very talented in grafts and she was young mother, her son is only year old. Sad!

Nädalavahetusest Narvas ja sooja kingituse teemadel hiljem.
About my weekend in Narva I will wrote later.

Ei tea, miks aeg kaob käest....

Olen vahepeal saanud väga vahva paki Kanadast. Favorite Color Swap jõuis lõpule, a minul on nüüd mõned väga ilusat rohelist tooni lõngad ja eriti armsad silmusemärkijad juures. Pluss veel ilusaid, rohelisi asju :) Silmusemärkijad olid tõeliselt armsad, kilpkonnadega. Ja kui ma kunagi arvasin, et selliseid asju ma ei kasuta, siis nende puhul ei saanud kiusatusele vastu panna ja panin lihtsalt kaunistuseks ühe pooleli oleva töö jurde :)No ja nuhtlus oli ka, sest kassile saadeti maiust ja tundub, et pean seda edaspidigi ostma hakkama. Ühel päeval, kui olen uue kaamera saanud, panen paremad pildid üles.

Saatjaks Jenni. Ise saatsin ma paki Erinile, aga pole veel infot, kas ta on selle kätte saanud.

I got my Favorite Color Swap package. Jenny sent lovely green stuff. I absolutly love stitchmarkers (some day, when I get new camera, I will post better pictures) and my cat loves his "sweets". This green color is right and I want thank you very much, Jenny!
Ja selle paki pildid, mis saatsin Krisile Sokikoti vahetuse raames.

And ther is also pictures about KSKS package I sent to Kris.

Päevalill, mis salaja ennast kasvuhoonesse kasvama sättis

Mõned pildid eelmisest nädalast

neljapäev, september 7



Oh, kuhu see aeg küll ometi kaob?
No olgu, kooli algas ja sügis on koolis alati eriti kiire aeg. Ja natuke on ju vaja talvevarusid ka täiendada ja kurke vaaritada. Mis veel....käisin vitspunumise kursusel. LAHE! Vot see töö mulle meeldis. Istud ja vaikselt nokid punuda. Siis oli ju muidugi vaja nädalavahetusel vitsu korjama minna. Tunnistan ausalt, et osa veel koorimata, aga ühe korvikese jagu materjali ehk ikka kokku saab. Eile vahetasin väga ebaprakilise kapi oma käsitöö (loe: soditoa) toas vana sektsiooni vastu. Igatahes sai palju parem, kuigi...kraami on mul tõesti ülearu palju.

Well, it's fall and againtime to be business-like I do't understand, where times go. Ok, I know that fall is very busy time in school. Congratulations to all teachers! Have a great schoolyear! Good is, that I may go to field and get fresh potatos, carrots, turnip and make good stew
After last posting I have done pickle cucumbers, been in very good course and learned how to weav baskets - it was really good course and I enjoyed it very much.
Yesterday I got old-new cupboard to my crafting room. It meant that I had to carry all my stuff out of room - huh, lot of work. My father thinks that most of that is trash...maybe he's right?
I haven'd done much crafting. I sent away my Favorite Colorswap package and I hope my pall enjoy it as much I enjoyd to put this packege together.
Some blear photos too.

Sorry Susan and Carmen that I haven't write so long time. I try to do it very soon :)

neljapäev, august 31

Ikka veel pole aega oma viimase aja tegemistest kirjutada....neid on palju olnud. Aga äkki homme...

Still I don't have time to write about last two weeks. It's have been very intresting time.
But..I got package from Tisha and I love everything. She sent me yarn (I already knit socks from it, and one is finished), beautiful fabrics, sticthmarkers, candy and it all was wrapped very nicely. AITÄHH TISHA!

Jälle kord pean ma alustama sõnadega...kaua aega pole kohtunud.
Mis siis vahepeal juhtunud on? Terve eelmise nädala ma peamiselt õmblesin - Reigi kiriku aastapäevale pühendatud loteriile asju. Kuna koguduse poolt hallatav kasutatud riiete pood on andnud materjali õmblemiseks, siis oli see pisike vastuteene. Peamiselt valmisid poekotid ja enda arvates tulid päris lahedad ja oleks meelsasti endale jätnud :) Pildid on endiselt hägusad :( aparaat ikka korrast ära ja ei teravusta, aga väikse mulje ikka saab.

Again I must start ...long time no see. What happend last week. Mostly I sewed bags, but also made some shawls, and pillow for chair :) I promised to do something. our local church had anniversary and they had little lottery. Church have little shop where they sell second hand clothes and they have give something to us (school I meant) and we have refashioned these. So it was payback time :)
Photos are still bad but you have little overview.


Edit: Unustasin õelda, et kotid on vanadest velvetpükstest tehtud
I forgot to tell, that bags are made from old velveteen trousers

Laupäeva õhtul oli järjekordne töötuba. Sel korral oli 42 naist Ida-Virumaalt Integratsiooni Sihtasutuse koolitusel Hiiumaal ja et vaimu värske hoida, õppisid nad veidi käsitööd. Õpetasime meie "afrika" paela (mina õpetasin), Liia tegi pisikesi vilditud pallikesi kaelaehete jaoks ja Silli-Mai vehkis viltimisnõelaga. "õpilastele" meeldis.
Saturday eveng we had little workshop (again and I hope it was last one this summer :) )
Our "students" ( 42 women from east side of Estonia, mostly estonian language teachers on the area where is russian ) . They were very good leaners and wanted more time:)
They learned our "african"band, felted with needle and made little felted balls for felted necklace.

Nüüd olen Haapsalus õppimas töövahendeid, mida kasutada kui võtta osa rahvusvahelisest sõprukoolide programmist eTwinning. Seltskond on lahe ja õpetused head :)

Now I'm in Haapsalu and learn about eTwinning...something we hope to do in our school. It looks fun. And people here is great :)

Uus vahetus on tulemas. Seekord kotid, ükskõik mis tehnikas. Osavõtuks tuleb saata mail tegijatele oma andmetega ja registreerumine kestab 25. augustini.

There is new swap - International Tote Exchange. Signups until 25. august 2006
Viimasel paaril päeval on toredaid asju toimunud. Sain paki Kanadast koos tikkimisajakirja ja projektikeste lehekestega. Oli üsna häid ideid.

Last couple of days have been very happy. I got package from Canada. There were cross-stitshing magasin and lots of good ideas. THANK YOU CARMEN!

Eile aga...Simply Redi kontsert. HÄSTI-VÄGA-SUPER-MÕNUS oli! Seda, millist häält suudab eestlane teha, kui talle midagi meeldib, ei kuule mitte iga päev. Ja igatahes on mulle meeldib, kui bänd ja laulja suudavad rahva ilma lisavidinateta (ekraanid, värvid jms) niimoodi elama panna. Mu parim kontserdikogemus on aastast vist 98, kui ma Joe Cockeri esimesel Eesti kontrserdil Sinises paviljonis käisin. Ka siis oli selline hea tunne publiku ja esineja vahel. Eilne kontsert on tihedalt Cockeri oma kannal :) Igatahes on tunded vägevad. Ja Liisi Koiksoni plaadi üritan ka endale leida. Isegi kehva heli, mis tema esinemise ajal oli, ei rikkunud muljet heast laujannast.
Yesterday I was in Tallinn. Reason: Simply Red's concert. It was great! I'm so full of good emotions that could do anything, at all!

Pahadest asjadest niipalju, et midagi on Vormsil mu kaameraga juhtunud ja see ei teravusta enam. Tegelen probleemiga, aga kiiret lahendust pole loota :(
About photos: something has happend with my camera on Vormsi :( And now all photos are very bad. I try to find some solution, but it take's time.

neljapäev, august 10



The kit from my KSKS buddy arrived yesterday. I know that it may sound like something you heared before, but...my secret pal IS THE BEST!
You don't know how hard it was to wait until I get home and can make pictre all of it :) I was so curious.

Look what she sent to me! Colous of bag and yarn is 101% right (why pict don't show it right way : ( ! ). And chocolate is very good.

I LOVE my bag and all the other goodies included in the package. Thank you so much Linda!

And there is another big thanks to say. AITÄH AINO! This package came week ago and there were some Kool-Aid's and mola! I really like molas, these are so different from our craft in Estonia. And I will try Kool Aid when I get little bit free time :) It seems to be very intresting technique to dye yarn.

Viimane postitus oli kaua aega tagasi....Ei tulnud tüdi peale, hoopis remont ja Vormsil käik olid vahepeal. Värvimine ikka poolik, aga õnneks sai aja korraks naabrite juures maha võtta.
Vormsist siis. Seal oli Saarte Naiste Koja 11 kogunemine ja neljandat korda siis folklooripäevade nime all. Ei mäletagi täpselt kuidas tavlvel mmeieni kutse jõudis, aga nimekirjas me Liia ja Silli-Maiga olime. Oi oli vaev oma kodune laevärvimine pooleli jätta ja pidusse minna. Liial ei õnnestunudki majaka juurest tulema saada.
Peamiselt koosnes seltskond Pühalepa Lustilistest (tea, kas sai õige nimi). No need on vägevad naised...kõhulihased on mul nüüd poole tugevamad...naermisest muidugi. Igast asjast "rebiti kild". Erilise hoo sai lõmps sisse siis kui Rohukülas pruutpaar kaile neiu vana perekonnanime uputama tuli. Meie omadel kohe idee valmis - kõis ette, egas muidu saa. Muhu naised, kes ka juba Vormsi praami järjekorras olid, tekitasid teisegi takistuse. Edasi tuli praami "Reet" kapten "ära moosida", et ikka praamile pääseks. Paul oli lahe mees ja kaptenina igati tasemel...saime ilusti naabrite juurde. Reede sujus rahulikult, õhtul tegime sale saarel oma bussiga pisikese ringi. Laupäeva hommikul oli ürituse avamine, rongkäiguga ja puha.
Siis väike laat töötubadega (oi hiidlaste äri läks paremini kui saarlaste oma ;) ) Osalesin Vormsi lasteaia õpetaja tehtud õppetoas "Vormsi Aabits" - sain häid ideid endale ja kolleegidele rääkimiseks. Õhtul oli simman. Üksiti esitleti ja auhinnati Saarte-keha-kate konkursi töid. Saarte-keha-kate/these are costumes from contest
Väga ilusaid asju oli ja häid ideid ka. Pidu vedas Abruka Maali - võite arvata et seegi õhtu läks naeru tähe all. Pühapäeval rääkis ürituse patroon pr Rüütel Kihnust ja Kristina Rajando vormsi rahvariietest. Huvitav oli. Peo lõpus kingid ja koju. Osa läks küll enne veel ekskurseerima. Küll loodaks et järgmisel aastal võetakse Abrukale ka kaasa.
Pildid lähevad esialgu bloggeri jonnimise tõttu flickrisse.

Long time no see. Well, last couple of week I have been very busy....I decorated three rooms in my home. Now I almoste finished it. I only have to paint last floor.
But...last weekend I spent in Vormsi. This is our neighbour-island. There were
It was very intresing and funny time. I try to write more, but now I just put pics.

Edit: looks that blogger doesn't want to do this, so I put pic on my flickr account and

Well, as I promised, Flat Scout last days in Estonia. I wanted to write yesterday (so I promised), but we finaly had some rain...with little bit thunder too. And it take off internetconnection :(
So...we went our old semetery in Reigi.
There resting my ancestry and lot's of people I know. So I can talk lot of stories. Like on of my forefather who came bac from russian czar's armi. It was long travel and took years. When he arrived he went and told to army people "here I am." So he got gift ( he was good soldier if he reported that he's back) - tavern. One estonian composer wrote about it opera.



Count Ungern-Sternberg built the stone church that you see today in 1800-1802. He had the church built in memory of his son Gustav who killed himself because he was heavily in debt to gamblers. Gustav is buried in the churchyard at Reigi.
The church contains many beautiful works of art which are said to have been donated by the grateful survivors of shipwrecks near Hiiumaa\'s dangerous northwest coast.
This bulding is 115 years old and this is where our local municipalities locate ( it's has always been place for administrative center).
(Front) (back view)
And we spent time in my school and my classroom ( it is locate our oldest schoolhouse, it's 106 years old). There is my craft-class, boys workshop and my cooking-class.
(craft-house and little cornes in my craft-class)

She liked some our kids works :) Unfortunatly...there was only some of these.
(curtains are also made by girls - it's batic)
(crazy-quilt is made by my students) others is mine. This old spinning-wheel belonged to my Mom's granny (so girls can't forget craft roots ;) )




So, it all...we made passport (I forgot to make picture :( ) to Flat Scout and Wednesday she went to travel again. We had great time togedher and she said that she will be back in future :) .She saw only little part of Hiiumaa.

P.S. Here is Kõpu Lighthouse and view from top to Kõpu village.

And I found one very cute pics from last year. It's from Kõpu too...there was Kõpu villages day (it was big party :) )
