Uisce updates

Here's a few new pics of the cutest dog in the world and the cutest cat in the world:)

Easter Eggs and the likes

I had a sudden urge yesterday to decorate some Easter eggs the good old traditional Hungarian way. Spent a few hours drawing them with wax (the patterns are based on traditional Easter egg patterns from various places around Hungary), dyeing them with some Easter egg dye I had from years ago (I love when I finally get to use something I held onto for years...;-), drying them, melting and wipeing the wax off with paper, giving them a shine with some olive oil. Here's a few photos of the end product and the process. HAPPY EASTER!!! :)

Springing up from sleep:)

It has been a long time since my last post, October I suppose it was, just after I moved into my new mobile home... Being April I can say I have survived a winter in a tin box:) Actually, it was more than survive, since as far as I remember the places I've resided in since leaving the family nest, this one had the most potential to be warm, once the stove was going, everything was fine and toasty.Minus a good bit of draft from the floor, but I'll sort that for next winter:)
I slowly made the place more and more comfortable, and once I accepted the fact that it'll never be perfectly finished, I'm happy:)
Painted the place nice and green so it'll blend in, startes some vegetable beds (well, amazingly the weeds already have taken over...), the place at the moment is a little vegetable nursery. The winter also brought broken chimneys, broken shower, gas leak, waking up at 4am by a carbon monoxide alarm, driving on ice, water freezing inside overnight,tipsyly fixing disconnected pipes flooding the place after the thaw-out on christmas night at 3am, cosy fires, and other random events.
Had a short trip to Hungary in January, and a few little ones up the country.
The days on the farm have turned from playing cards into planting hundreds of globe artichoke plants out to the fields and the likes, exciting times!
I've also started to do a bit of home help work nearby, and in the midst of it all, have a temporary housemate for a few months, a lovely pup called Uisce.
I might as well fill the rest of the space with pictures, they're so much more exciting than words!
They're kind of in an opposite order, newest to oldest.
