Tagged - bilingual post again

Két jelölést is kaptam ősszel - télen, kicsit lemaradtam velük. Most válaszolok.

Az első, hogy hat tetszőleges dolgot írjak magamról. Anno sokat gondolkoztam rajta, hogy mit írjak, de azóta elfelejtettem, szóval itt van az a hat, ami elsőre eszembe jut:
- Az olvasás szerves része az életemnek. Nem megyek ki az ajtón úgy, hogy nincs nálam könyv, és a várakozás két percét is kihasználom.
- Rosszul tűröm a kötöttségeket és a kötelező dolgokat.
- Imádok új dolgokat kipróbálni (ez a hímzéseimen is látszik), és keresem a kihívásokat.
- Optimista típus vagyok, minden helyzetnek hamar meglátom a jó oldalát, és arra koncentrálok.
- Az életemnek több része van, és elég különbözőek is egymástól, és ez nekem így jó is.
- Legnagyobb álmom, hogy Kubába eljussak (és ha semmi nem jön közbe, áprilisban más álmot kell keresnem!)

I was tagged two times (and I am late with both).

The first is to tell 6 random things about myself.
- Reading is a natural part of my life. I never leave the house without a book. Even two minutes waiting will find me reading.
- I hate ties and obligatory things
- I love to try new things (the long wip list clearly shows that), and always seeking challanges.
- I am an optimistic girl, seeing the good side of any situation, and concentrating on it.
- My life consists of several very different parts, which is good for me.
- My biggest dream is to get to Cuba (and if everything goes well, I will have to find another dream in April!).

A másik feladat az volt, hogy soroljam fel a rám legnagyobb hatást tevő 5 könyvet 2008ból.
Íme a listám:
- D. H . Lawrence: Lady Chatterley szeretője
Bevallom őszintén, ebbe azért néztem bele, mert kíváncsi voltam, hogy mitől botránykönyv. Aztán nem tudtam letenni, nagyon szép könyv, nagyon nagy hatással volt rám, rengeteg mindenről szól.
- Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice
Az egyik kedvenc íróm, minden könyvét szeretem, és arra különösen büszke vagyok, hogy ezt angolul is elolvastam
- Marian Keyes: Utolsó esély szalon
Új kedvencem, tavaly minden nálunk kapható könyvét elolvastam, imádom a humorát, meg hogy pont kellőképpen romantikusak, de nem csöpögősek a könyvei. Ez erre különösképpen igaz.
- Robert Merle: A gyermekkirály
Tőle azért ez, mert ezt olvastam tutira tavaly, de a teljes Francia História sorozatot imádom, meg az összes többi könyvét is, tőle még nem olvastam rosszat.
- Fejős Éva: Bangkok tranzit
Nagyon tetszett, rengeteg gondolat volt benne. Hosszú idő után ez volt az első könyv, aminek befejezésekor még 1-2 napig nem tudtam újba belekezdeni, annyira ez járt a fejemben. (A legemlékezetesebb ilyen könyv számomra egyébként az Állati elmék volt Merle-től).

The other meme was about my 5 favourite books in 2008. Here is the list:
- D.H.Lawrence: Lady Chatterley's lover
I started this to see why it was so infamous, but could not put it down. It is a very deep and beautiful book.
- Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice
Austen is one of my favourites, and this book of hers is above all. And I am particularly proud of having read it in English original.
- Marian Keyes: Last chance saloon
One of my favourite authors, I just love her romantic style and humour. I have read all books available here in Hungary.
- Robert Merle: Roi enfant
I just love the whole series, and all his books overall.
- Fejos Eva: Bangkok tranzit
This is a Hungarian book, Hungarian author, but a very deep book. I just couldn't put it down.

I will try to get back to more regular posting especially as I have some progress to share.

Sagittarius Astrocat by Margaret Sherry for Adél

Jane Austen adn February Cat

I did not show you yet my progress on last week's challenge and SAT for the Let's Stitch group.

My weekly challenge project was At Home with Jane Austen from the Sampler Girl. I did not manage to work much on it, due to work and RR commitments, but I left the half way mark on that one, so I am satisfied.


And for the Friday nigh SAT, I chose to finish up the February Cat from the Calendar Cats RR. Here is a pic of him, and some details.

An RR and a challenge

Last week there was a challenge on the Let's Stitch blog, to dig out our oldest wip, and work on it. Though it is not certainly the oldest wip I have, it is one of them, and I still love it, so I jumped at the idea of pulling it out and putting some stitches in it. Not very much though, as I was also working on some exchanges and RRs. Anyway, I sticked to it for Friday's Stitch-A-Thon as well, and this is what I accomplished:



And last week I also managed to finish up another one of the Herbs and Spices RR: Lemon Verbena for Cinella. Here it is:




Now off to do some stitching, this week's challenge is to work on a sampler design, so I am putting some stitches into At home with Jane Austen by the Sampler Girl (besides those RRs and exchanges, of course).

The standing before the challenge:

Some pictures again

I haven't posted for a while now. I have done some stitching, and finally I have some piccies to show you.

So (in no particular order):
I finished June Cat from Margaret Sherry's Calendar Cats for maczyka's RR.



I managed to finish two pictures from the Herbs and Spices RR, Comfrey for Szandrah, and Ginger for Melinda.



I was the lucky winner on Edige's blogaversery drawing, and I received this lovely purse:

I have sent and received the needleroll on the Hooked on Exchanging group, look what lovely needleroll I have received!

And the one I stitched for Leigh:

Mini Topiary sampler III Needleroll Designer: Jeannette Douglas Designs Fabric: 28 ct vintage cream linen Threads: various silks from my stash

I also managed to finished the Margaret Sherry cat for the charity, but no pictures yet, they have to be uploaded from my camera.



P.S.: I decided to write this blog only in English from now on. The events of my life will be written in Hungarian on multiply (but there in Hungarian only). I hope my Hungarian friends who follow this blog can cope with this. If not, let me know :-) and I will find a solution.

És még egyszer utoljára magyarul: fárasztó magyarul és angolul is írni a blogot. Ezért úgy döntöttem, ezt a blogot ezentúl angolul vezetem (végül is itt nagyjából kizárólag a kész hímzéseimet mutogatom), ha valami olyan történik velem, amit nagyon meg szeretnék osztani veletek, magyarul, azt a multin fogom megtenni. Ott ityamom néven vagyok megtalálható, ha esetleg valakinek hiányoznék magyarul ;-). Remélem, az engem olvasó magyar barátaimnak megfelel ez így. Ha nem, szóljatok, kitalálok valamit :-)

Fájdalmas szépség
