Kaplje in polži / Raindrops and snails

Zadnje dni, kot verjetno veste, je odločno preveč deževalo. Sprva je bilo še lepo in v tem času so nastale zgornje forografije, potem pa mi je začelo presedati.  Kako ste pa vi kaj prijatelji z dežjem?

We had a lot of rain for the last (not just few) days. It was nice at the beginning and in that time I took the upper photos, but later it was dragging me down... all that water and cold... no, not my kind of weather... how do you like rain?

Danes, ha, danes je bila pa druga pesem. Ampak polži, polži... grrrrr, hiškarji so v redu, lazarjem pa sem napovedala vojno. Požrli so mi pol vrta. Uboga špinača sploh ni imela priložnosti. Samo nosek je pomolila iz zemlje, pa je bilo po njej. Imate kakšen preizkušen recept, kako jih pregnati, zatreti, uničiti...?

But today... well today was great, sunny, perfect for a little snaily painting. And I had time to do some gardening... and fighting the neverending war against slugs... they are eating my vegetables... grrrrrr

Do you have any ideas how to get rid of them?

S polžjo hirostjo nastaja tudi še ena srajčna oblekica. Žigova srajca mi ej zaposlovala misli že kar nekaj časa, danes pa se je porodila prava ideja. 

Najprej tale s polžem iz prtička... ki ima seveda dvojno nalogo - okrasno, pod njim pa se skriva tudi madež :o) ...

potem pa še tista z volančki na sredini. ta mi ej še posebej ljubka in da celotni podobi piko na i.

Jutri moram narediti še naramnice, potem pa sledi najtežja preizkušnja... predstavitev izdelka kritikom....

And this is my latest project... snaily shirt dress. My husband eliminated this shirt from his wardrobe long ago and I thought it will be perfect for summer dress. It's linnen and cotton mixture, very lovely fabric indeed. But without a story... again... until today... I really like the snail applique wit a doily and those frills..... :o)

I still need to make the starps and than the hardest job of all - show the dress to the critics...
