Earlier I'd prepared two posts, but then we went on a walk and now I think these #autumn photos are way better for happiness 🤍🍂🏔️

"gropile din drum erau mai adânci decât memoria satului" 😅

Crossed paths with a bear ;)

#SewAndTell Scary... Well, altering this very expensive dress comes to mind. I was asked to shorten the hem and add loops, so it can be worn as a long, short, or high-low dress. So I cleared my table... took away all distractions... and started. Mindfulness indeed 😅 #sewing 🧶🪡

Socks :) #ShowMeYourKnits #knitting 🧶

#AIHalloween2025 Day 4 (Vampire) Sorry to disappoint, but there's not actually a tradition of vampires in Transylvania 🧛‍♂️🧛‍♀️ `A vampiress with bloodred lips` #midjourney #synthart

First snow of the season 🌨️

Crossed paths with a mantis :)

This is something we love about Romania 😍 I wish you could smell and taste these tomatoes 🍅🌱

This autumn, please consider leaving dead plants in your garden rather than 'tidying' them up. Over the winter they will provide sheltered spots for hibernating ladybirds and lots of other creatures 🐞

Here is a cute monkey on a reversible sun hat :) #SewAndTell #sewing 🧶🪡

I knitted these handwarmers to care for others. For people I love, who don't need gifts, who sit a lot and have cold hands. Joyful to know they feel a bit more comfortable 🤍 #ShowMeYourKnits #knitting 🧶

🍂 🧡 Autumn colors of #ShowMeYourKnits are for Sue's Beltane shawl @veg-grower.bsky.social 🤗 Started anew, I've finished Chart 2 once and am having fun with it 🫶 I am hoping to have it ready by Samhain 😉

Here's our contribution to make our natural neighborhood cleaner. Today is Let's do it, Romania! and thousands of ppl are doing the same 🤩 letsdoitromania.ro

Small gardens can boost biodiversity just as much as big ones. And when joined together, tiny nature-friendly spaces create wildlife corridors that can benefit hedgehogs and all sorts of other wildlife! Ideas for small gardens: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/sma...

This soft flannel shirt sure is a favourite. It used to be an XL adult size which I turned into a kids' size. I love the fabric, a flanny means comfort 🥰 #SewAndTell #upcycle #sewing 🧶

Digging work for a new lake has turned up hundreds of ancient tree trunks and branches near Oudega in Friesland, part of a primeval forest dating back 6000 years.

😷 "Everywhere in Romania there is an increase in Covid cases... in the last two months it is more than obvious... There is no longer any sustained protection against the virus... ... the vaccine is nowhere to be found in Romania." 😷 romania.europalibera.org/a/cazuri-cov...

Valtoare = traditional Romanian "washing machine", made by diverting a stream through a wood barrel. These were lifesavers when you had to wash traditional carpets and other heavy duty fabrics. This one is from Bologa, Cluj County, still in use after at least 50 years.

Who doesn't like a tote bag? 🛍️ Someone asked me to make one for them, they chose the material, size, pockets etc. and this colorful bag is the result 🙂 #sewing 🧶

This week's #ShowMeYourKnits is scarves 🧣 Lol, those were my last week's WIPs so here I am posting the same items. I might have to post them again whenever the Blue theme comes around 😂 #knitting 🧶

A dragon is watching over us again :) #DragonTuesday #photo #clouds

Mosaic art on a public building in NSW 🖼️ I also love the use of photovoltaic and the transparent roof panels for letting in daylight 🌞

An encounter with a bat made the lunar eclipse even more exciting 🦇🌑

I'm working on how to transform a custom-made dress into a different style custom-made dress... 🙃

We found some pretty pottery at the market :)

It's the yearly pottery market this weekend! Crafters from all over the country gather at #Sibiu main square 🫖🏺 Pictures: www.turnulsfatului.ro/2025/09/06/t...

Trying out several patterns, I started these WIPs all inspired through the #ShowMeYourKnits community 🤩 #knitting 🧶

For #showmeyourknits I have a sweater that I made for my mum, who was always so cold.. It was my first, and I pbly should've followed a pattern as the body turned out slightly short & the sleeves too long 🙃 But she wore it all the time anyway 🥰

Good morning bluesky Today the MJ daily theme has updated to 🌈 🐲, which is an interesting coincidence. Run here as a naked --p prompt. `🌈 🐲` --p #midjourney

This is great! #SewAndTell was definitely missing, thank you @rrhiza.bsky.social 🙂 So I wasn't there for the First week, but am here for Summer (and there's still a heatwave where we are 🌞) Here is the custom-made dress I just finished 👗 #sewing 🧶

I'm so happy that the shirt's I made for someone fit perfectly and feel comfortable, and they gave me the loveliest feedback one could think of. that's what it's all about 🤍 #sewing 🧶

Choices choices ;)

#Molen | Thema #Dag9 #Beau_gustus fotochallenge @ta57.bsky.social 💧Inbreng: Molenviergang Aarlanderveen, waar wind en wieken het water wegmalen uit een diepe polder van maar liefst 5,4 meter onder Zeeniveau (NAP). Zie molenviergangaarlanderveen.nl @rijnlandsemolen.bsky.social

Almost weekend! 🌞 Here are some photo's of nice things in and from the garden 🌱💜🌻🥒 Can you spot the praying mantis?

Romania sees sharp rise in COVID-19 cases in July 2025 — Up 232% from June. "Romania had recorded 3,586,193 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 69,266 related deaths since the start of the pandemic"

After all that rain, the water in the pond is very clear and we spotted a snake swimming in it (smallish, black with white eyes). Excitement...

Hollow fields on a reclaimed peat plain west of Kanis, the Netherlands; on the right, an alluvial ridge of an old branch of the River Rhine. In summer, the fields dry out and the peat shrinks. The edges of the fields remain wet because of the ditches and shrink less. The result: hollow fields.
