Happy month of March everybody!It is nice to think that spring will be here pretty soon.This winter was very nice to us in this part of the world but I miss the flowers and the birds,the sunshine and the bike rides.<br />
Today I had a quiet day off work in the company of our pets.It was not a very productive day,just a relaxing one.Actually while watching my favourite talk shows I made two Martenitsas.It is a Bulgarian tradition when people give each other little creations made out of red and white yarn in the beginning of March.The red color is a symbol of health,the white of prosperity.It is like you wish your loved ones have all the health and prosperity in their lives.You can see my Martenitsas in the first picture.vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-65067027554274158922015-02-27T07:53:00.001-08:002015-02-27T08:04:04.259-08:00*******<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Some arts and crafts inspired by St.Valentine's Day.The cards are handmade with store bought stamps,hand made stamps, watercolor and red ballpoint pen.I have made the window decoration from the wire of an old notebook and remnants of yarn and fabric.The picture with Dove chocolate is from last year but I never got to post it ,so... now is the moment.Did I mention that Dove is my favorite chocolate?And the picture of our kitty,because her nose is in the shape of a tiny pink heart.Happy Valentine's Day to you all!vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-20462800563570239312015-02-05T13:24:00.001-08:002015-02-26T17:13:15.371-08:00Time<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Time is the best treasure in life after health.I think.It is so important to have some time for ourselves. To do the things we love.To think.To cleanse our brains.To organize our thoughts.Or just to be.To feel the moment of life.I have time now.I am rich.At the moment.I have eight days off work.I savor every moment,when I do what I love to do:read,sketch,look at the other people's blogs on my tablet,knit,take pictures and so on or even when I do nothing.The pictures above are like illustrations of my life during the last three-four snowy winter days.The spread from my sketchbook is from a year ago.I have some new sketches but I have to take pictures and upload them in the computer.I even tried to bake a bunt cake yesterday and it turned out pretty delicious!vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-66410391170816918892015-01-25T11:06:00.000-08:002015-01-25T11:06:20.189-08:00*****<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Random pictures from my life. I 've been too busy recently.Too much work and no play.No time even to think let along dream or do art.The closest thing to something creative was to take pictures during those two or three weeks.As you can see in the pictures I still try to keep up with my New Year's resolution and drink a lot of herb tea.This one is mint and the ginger bread cookies...well,I had to make them even after Christmas,They are so delicious!!!One of the reason to be busy after work were my daughter's basketball games.It is so much fun to watch her and her team play.They are not the strongest team in the area but they grew up a lot and it is so entertaining to watch them play.I look forward to watching every single game.At some point during those endless work weeks I started feeling the cabin fever really bad .I had to go out for a walk in the snow.I had to...Down the bridge,down the bike trail I went in wind and cold....But I felt really,really good after that walk.<br />
And yesterday we went to eat out at Texas Road House.It is a little bit spendy for us but we had a good reason.My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and it was a special treat for all tree of us.The secret is:we looooove their BBQ ribs.<br />
The last drawing of a random cat was inspired by the Internet.I hope I haven't posted it before,It's an old one and I do not want to bore you with the same images over and over again.She reminds me of our new cat Maya.I am under the influence of her overload of cuteness and at the same time she can be a naughty little thing.But I can never be mad at her.vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-62894956678537833062015-01-02T14:48:00.000-08:002015-01-02T14:48:44.934-08:00Happy New Year!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Christmas brought a lot of warmth and joy to our house.Christmas songs have been played on the trumpet,delicious food has been eaten,lots of presents have been opened,So much excitement for people and pets.And then the New Years celebration was quieter,spent at home with some more delicious food and a glass of wine watching the New Year's show from Time's Square.It was quieter in the house because the kids were not home celebrating with their friends.They had fun for sure as well as we did.I loved this New Year's show and almost all the performers who sang.It was great!<br />
And now we have to start getting used to the idea that the Holiday season is over./I wish it could last at least for another month!!!/I have to start thinking about a New Year's resolution.I don't know yet...The only thing I could think of was that I have to start drinking more herb tea.There was a period in my life when I drank a lot of herb tea and was very healthy,no flu could knock me over.Oh,...and maybe my regular one:To make more time for sketching/drawing and art.In two words to be creative.So,guys let's be more creative in the New Year 2015.Let's make time for the things we like to do!HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you,who stops by to read my blog!vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-91908001138277667982014-12-13T21:11:00.000-08:002014-12-13T21:11:46.591-08:00The most wonderful time of the year!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's the most wonderful time of the year as they say in the song.I enjoy every minute of it whenever I can.Especially this weekend.I am almost recovered from the nasty flu I got at the beginning of the week.It was not fun I am telling you.My whole family was sick with the cough,fiver,chills,body aches-the works!But we survived and everything is back to normal now,thank god.These pictures are snippets of my day today.Very rarely I will be able to post pictures on the day I take them but today is one of these days.I got a lot of rest and drank a lot of herb tea with chocolate cakes,did some chores and took a lot of pictures,cooked delicious creamy potato soup and went to the Christmas parade with my girl and her friends.It is one of those days that create memories.vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-49691922415270197602014-12-01T15:05:00.002-08:002014-12-01T15:05:54.732-08:00Snapshots from the end of November<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was a wonderful three-day weekend spent in the slow lane.There was a lot of resting, cooking,decorating for Christmas,knitting,reading books,coffee drinking and shopping.<br />
Down went the Fall decorations and up went the Christmas tree.We can't have a real one because my husband is allergic to pine trees.And this year we also have to skip on all the breakable decorations because our Maya is quite a trouble maker.We are afraid that one day when coming after work we will find the whole Christmas tree down on the floor.Let's hope she won't go that far though.<br />
The cute deer in the first picture is a thrift store find.I love treasure hunting in the thrift stores.<br />
I've been in a knitting mood recently making hat after hat and scarf after scarf.When I am stressed out I reach for the knitting needles.Knitting has such a therapeutic effect on me.The idea for the hat with the little owls is from Pintrest.I saw the picture and thought to myself "Oh,I can make that!"And I did it.My daughter liked it too ,so I made one for her as well.I am sorry I don't have a picture of hers to show you.<br />
The pencil sketch in the last picture is from 12 days ago.I did it when I started reading The Fault Of Our Stars by John Green.I finished the book yesterday and I loved it.I haven't see the movie yet.I did not want to see it before I read the book.My daughter has seen it already and she said she cried a lot.vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-11768612108259974932014-11-21T20:04:00.000-08:002014-11-21T20:04:29.018-08:00Random post<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Random post with random pictures from my fall. Snippets from my life.The ground is covered with snow but astronomically it is still fall.A fall that was warm and sunny not long ago and now it is freezing cold and snowy.My life is busy and exhausting at the moment and it was kind of surprise to myself to find time to blog.I am usually so tired that I prefer to do something more passive like reading a book or going on my tablet.I am so glad that I am back to reading Surprisingly I sometimes menage to do some sketching but forget to take pictures of my sketches.This is why my sketch is back from August.vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-25204350535239844882014-11-16T08:09:00.000-08:002014-11-16T08:09:21.427-08:00Maya<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We added a new member to our family.She is about one year old,adopted from the animal shelter.They found her wandering downtown Rochester.Apparently she belonged to somebody who hadn't been able to take care of her anymore.Why do I think so?Because nobody claimed her from the shelter.We named her Maya.We thought about different names like Nelly,Autumn and even Olga,my daughter's idea but it seems that Maya fits her the best.We are in love with her!She is the sweetest,cuddly little kitty!The picture would be perfect if our other kitty ,Precious,was not going through a very jealous stage.At first she was very interested in her and looked like they would get along but now she is trying to put up a fight almost every day.We usually interfere when the things start to get ugly and hope that the time will help them learn how to live together.vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-75754793928950035282014-11-05T15:59:00.000-08:002014-11-05T15:59:58.076-08:00Smiles from our Halloween<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

It is grey and cloudy outside.It's been like this for the last two days.A sad reminder that the cold is coming with dull and dark days.I love snowy wintry days but when they a bathed in a lot of sunshine.The lack of light makes me depressed.<br />
The pictures I am posting are from about two weeks ago.The fall Saturday was gorgeous like it was supposed to be.Warm and sunny with abundance of all the colors the fall can bring.My family and I went on a short trip antiquing around in the nearest little towns.We stopped to take pictures every time we saw a beautiful view.Nowadays even my husband is contaminated with the photo bug.He got himself his own camera and competes with me who is going to take a better picture.Sometimes he takes a really good ones!vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-63863717130031913882014-10-24T19:33:00.000-07:002014-11-16T08:12:35.670-08:00The most beautiful autumn<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the most beautiful autumn I have ever experienced.I can't have enough of it.Wonderful mild weather with a lot of sunshine perfect for walks with a camera in hand.The colors are unbelievable this fall;from warm green and light yellow to deep orange and flaming red.I took multiple walks in the woods and around town to enjoy the pretty scenery.As being a little bit stressed out at work at the moment,who doesn't,this beauty feels like a balm for my soul.I hope the good weather stays longer to keep the leaves on the trees.The yard decorations in the fourth picture are not mine.I took this picture when I went leaf watching around town last week.And the river in the fifth picture is the Mississippi River.Just the picture turned out good and I would like to share it with you.vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-38664660887452792232014-10-09T16:57:00.001-07:002014-10-09T17:00:19.810-07:00Illustration Friday:Silence<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can't believe it is October already!But it seems to me I say it every time a season or a month changes.Time flies so fast isn't it?It is real fall now with all its glamour.I think I already mentioned that before,it is my favorite season.I love its gorgeous colors and light,especially when the sun shines.<br />
And it is such fun to ride your bike down the bike trail through the fall colored woods!!!I love the foggy mornings when the fog creates such magical images.I love the fall because it's the time when the school starts with all kinds of activities and there is no bored kids in the house anymore.And also the soup season begins!!!!I looove me some beef soup with cabbage,potatoes and looots of carrots!vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-86473459194249532112014-09-24T14:40:00.003-07:002014-09-24T14:40:53.286-07:00From my sketchbook<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When travelling by plane a person wastes tons of time waiting at the airports.That's why I always bring a sketchbook with me.The sketches above were done at the Minneapolis and Chicago Airports and on the plane.As you can see it was in May when my daughter and I were on our way to Bulgaria.vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-89367187946997762682014-09-18T18:01:00.000-07:002014-09-18T18:01:42.264-07:00Goodbye,Summer!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am saying Goodbye to the summer with some pictures of our trip to Bulgaria.My daughter will never forget the beautiful countryside with the wild flowers and strawberries, butterflies and farm animals.She still remembers grandma's delicious meatballs and soups.She was amazed by the aroma of the fresh fruit just picked up from the tree.The fruits and veggies from the store do not smell like that.They smell like freezer.Sometimes she daydreams:I wish we could go back to Bulgaria just for a week:to see baba/grandma/and to take a walk in the countryside."vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-10557341324658428912014-09-12T13:26:00.000-07:002014-09-12T13:26:27.562-07:00Back to blogging<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi,long times no see!I wonder if there are still people who check out my blog.I was out of business for a while due to computer problems. Thanks to my step son who has fixed it I am back and ready to roll.My archives are full of pictures I would like to share with you.A lot of exciting things that were excellent photo opportunities happened while I was out of the blogging community.I am not going to bother you with everything but here are some pictures.1.The beautiful bouquet that my husband has bought me from the farmers market.2.The abandoned farm house by the marsh I see every time I go biking.3.4.5.Somebody had a Birthday with a lot of fun,presents and a cake. 6. 7. 8. At Lake Carol,up north Wisconsin where we spent last weekend visiting relatives.Amazing nature!!!<br />

Some random pages from my sketchbook.They are old from February.<br />
They were inspired by pictures from Facebook and the Internet. Thanks to the photographers.<br />
I am in a creative block at the moment and trying to bring back my inspiration looking at old staff of mine.The wonderful weather outside does not help very much.I take a lot of pictures but it feels not right not to draw.vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-20149680649402924162014-08-01T13:59:00.000-07:002014-08-01T13:59:55.596-07:00Hello,August!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Where did July go?It passed so fast!I was planning to blog a lot,to post more pictures from our trip to Bulgaria.What happened?I don't know.Maybe the beautiful weather was in the way urging us to go out and enjoy it while we have it.Bike rides,tending a vegetable patch,play dates for the guinea pigs,hanging the laundry on the clothes line outdoors.The wonderful little joys of summer!<br />
And then the horrible things that happened in the world...leaving me in deep sadness, helpless to find words to express it.Random cruelty,wars,hundreds of innocent lives taken.When will it end...?It is hard to find words...vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-52367719936090583562014-07-04T10:40:00.000-07:002014-07-04T15:21:02.193-07:00We are back<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's been more than two weeks since we came back from our trip to Bulgaria.Finally I settled down: got adjusted to the time zone, organized the house a little bit, got used to my regular routine and now I feel I can post some pictures from our trip.We had a lot of wonderful moments with my family and friends during this trip and some not so happy experiences but they were mainly connected with the process of travelling itself.<br />
My daughter rediscovered the country again as she did not remember much from her previous two trips.She was too young at that time.She loved the food prepared mainly from scratch, the beautiful nature especially the country side and the sea.She was ecstatic when she saw the Black Sea for the first time and did not want to leave the city of Bourgas because she wanted to spent more time at the beach.Needless to say that she was so happy to see and spend time with her grandma and her uncle,my friends who she remembered very well from her previous visits and to play with their children.<br />
The worst moment of our trip was at the beginning when we missed our connection to Munich.There was a storm over Chicago and they shut the airport down.We had to land in the city of Molina,IL and although we had 6 hour layover we missed our next flight.As a result we had to spent about 20 hours at the airport in Chicago There were hundreds of people like us who missed their flights.We were offered cot beds, pillows and blankets in a rest area at Terminal 3.It looked like a refugee camp.I am mentioning this not because I want to concentrate on the negative events but because it was kind of unique experience although not very pleasant.We tried to make the best of the rest of our time at the O'Hara airport.We explored it,we did some sketching and people watching,pictures taking and ate at a Chinese restaurant.In the pictures:<br />

Last weekend the weather was too good for a person to stay home.Warm,sunny,bright,gorgeous!We had the urge to do something different so we decided on a trip along the Mississippi River.My daughter invited a friend to join us.We crossed the river in Winona and rode along the Wisconsin side enjoying the view and the pretty little towns at the water front.This ride was so refreshing and uplifting, a good medicine against the six month long cabin fiver.In my next post I am going to show more pictures from this ride.vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645945966161216834.post-111856063083386952014-05-14T15:00:00.000-07:002014-05-14T15:00:25.223-07:00Spring.Postcards from our garden.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There is some relieve and joy and happiness that spring is finally here.It is still cooler than it is supposed to be at this time of the year but the flowers are blooming,the birds are chirping and the sunshine shows up once in a while.Our Guinea pigs had their first play date outside.It was fun to watch them hopping and running around the pen.As you can see we have a new Guinea pig.His name is Pip/My daughter got him as a present from a friend.He is very cute and likes to be petted.What he does not like is to be picked up.He gets very nervous when he is in the air and starts squealing just like a pig.I am going to post more pictures of Pip in the next posts for sure.All the pictures in this post but the second one were taken by my daughter.She is getting really good at that!vanya'sArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00647908331996689025noreply@blogger.com0
