The Snowflower Diaries

My darlings, I enjoy and appreciate summer holiday so much after I had a car crash this month.  I celebrate small things in life much more.   I am thinking of starting the #100happydays challenge on Facebook, too. Today I would like to give you a gift, so I designed you a lovely pattern for the summer holiday!  It is an easy stitch and it brings you the scent of sea, the summer breeze in your hair and the memory of relaxing days and walking barefoot:-) Please, feel free to download it, it is free for personal (non-commercial) use!:-) HAPPY STITCHING!:-)  IN HUNGARIAN Drágaságaim! Az ebben a hónapban történt, friss autóbalesetem után még inkább élvezem és értékelem a nyári láblógatós szabadságomat.  Sokkal jobban örülök (és észreveszem) a kis dolgokat.  Azon is gondolkodom, hogy a facebook-on elindulok a #100happydays (100 boldog nap) kihíváson.  Ma Benneteket szeretnélek megajándékozni valamivel, ezért terveztem nektek eg...

Have you ever wondered why I chose the name Snowflower Diaries?  First of all I could not think of a better name.    I had participated on a business course for crafters last week where they spoke about the importance of choosing a good, possibly not too long, name.   I know that by any calculation mine does not fit the criteria and what is more, I LOVE misspelled words as I like all things that has a little 'mistake', a scar, a touch of difference.   My brand name is long, misspelled (snowflower instead of snowdrop, because this is how we call this flower in my language and I like it better), but fits me perfectly and I will not change it for all the treasures of the world. I thought to show you a photo of me and you will understand....:-)   Here is a true winter girl who loves white, big skirts, fun and who is very romantic, too:-))) IN HUNGARIAN Gondolkoztál már azon, hogy a búbánatban sikerült a Snowflower Diaries nevet k...

Dear Friends, There is only 30 mins left from 2014! It had been the hardest and darkest year of my life, I had learnt so much about people and myself, too. I am very thankful I step into 2015 with a clear vision of those who proved to be real family and friends, friends in need.  I am very thankful that the trauma that broke my life into pieces also broke those stony fossil layers on my soul that made my eyes blind for so long and forgot what lays really inside, down under, who I am and what was my heart's real desire. When I was a child  I was so sensitive, more sensitive than anyone I met, I had nobody to understand and after a while I labelled myself as crazy, too who has way too vivid fantasy.   As the years passed I slowly and imperceptidly forgot to see and feel.  I always thought others knew better who I am, they must be right what is best for me. Wrong. I very rarely listened to that silent voice inside.       This year I had t...

Good evening, I am very happy to spend the rest of the week at home with my kids.   I am also planning the 2015 year of The Snowflower Diaries using a couple free printable planners I found on Pinterest and - of course - I had to buy new set of pens in all colours, stickers and tapes;-)   I must be more organised in the future and use my time wiser, this was the main conclusion of 2014.   Today I brought you a new design, friend of yesterday's Elise.  She is Josephine .   The pattern is 128 W x 95 H, the model was stitched with DMC and The Gentle Art Threads.    It is available in our Etsy shop. Tomorrow I am coming with a primitive design called Winter Friends:-) Happy stitching!:-) Hugs IN HUNGARIAN Szép estét!  Úgy örülök, hogy a hét hátralévő részében itthon lehetek a gyerekekkel.  A szabadság alatt a 2015. évi célkitűzéseket is szeretném összeállítani a Snowflower Diaries számára, le is töltöttem a Pinteres...

Dear Girls, I am happy to present you a new release each day till the end of 2014 :-) Actually I scheduled earlier release dates, but I was called to work in Brussels, Belgium.   When I was attending law school I was dreaming of working at EU headquarters one day, I am so happy my dream came true!:-)   I had designed two beautiful Renaissance style winter ladies, today please welcome ELISE !:-)  Stiched with DMC and The Gentle Art threads the pattern measures 126 W x 92 H. The pattern is  in our Etsy shop .  IN HUNGARIAN:    Kedves Lányok!  Örömmel értesítelek Benneteket, hogy 2014 végéig minden nap érkezik egy új minta:-) Korábbi megjelenési dátumokat terveztem, de közbeszólt egy munka Brüsszelben, Belgiumban.   Amikor a jogi karra jártam,  elképzeltem, milyen jó lenne az EU szerveinél dolgozni egy nap, jó érzés, hogy belekóstolhattam. Két szépséges reneszánsz, téli hölgyet terveztem,...

Dear Girls, I would like to show my new visitors the winter designs of 2013: Thank you for coming!:-)

Hello Ladies, How are you doing?  Are your pumpkins carved and ready?:-)  I am taking an autumn holiday with my children, we are arranging a witchy party for Halloween, light candles and remember our loved ones who had passed away. I had stitched a little pillow for All Hallows Eve, it is called 'I WILL BE THERE'. This is a gift pattern for all of you, for all your kindness and support, please feel free to download it:-)  The model was stitched with The Gentle Art Sampler Threads Piney Woods and Old Red Paint. Happy Stitching!:-) IN HUNGARIAN: Helló Lányok! Hogy vagytok? Faragtatok halloween tököt?:-) Őszi szüneten vagyok a gyerekeimmel.  Mindenszentekre  boszibulival készülünk és gyertyagyújtással emlékezünk elhunyt szeretteinkre.  Hímeztem egy kis párnát az alkalomra, az a címe, hogy "Ott leszek", melynek a mintájával szeretnélek Benneteket megajándékozni azért a sok kedvességért és ösztönzéséért, melyet kapok Tőletek, egy...

Dear Girls, Butterflies follow my way this year. They had appeared in many of my designs, and their black sisters with white dots are flying with my Persephone .  I cannot deny the fact that I am hooked on creating "antique" linens with some coffee and my oven. The model was stitched with DMC. The pattern is available in our Etsy shop . IN HUNGARIAN: Kedves Csajok!  Egész évben pillangók kísérnek utamon. Jó pár mintámban feltűntek és most fehér pöttyös éjfekete nővéreik repkednek az én Persephoném nyomában. Azt sem tagadhatom le, hogy rákattantam a hímzővásznak öregítésére kávé és a sütőm segítségével.  A modellt DMC-vel hímeztem, a minta már kapható az Etsy boltunkban . Amíg Persephone lefoglalja magát a szerelmi bájital főzésével, szeretném megmutatni másik mintámat is, A rózsabokor fedőnevűt.  Ezt a kis finom párnát az új étkezőmbe varrtam már.  Nemrég lőttem egy öreg tálaló szekrényt, amelyet fehérre festek a napokban.  M...
