I love magnetic bookmarks. They're fancy, and most imprtant, they don't tend to fall of the book the moment you drop it in the bag, or while you're leisurely walking from one room in another with the book in hand.&lt;br /&gt;For my experiment I used a &lt;a href="http://dorkstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dork Stitch &lt;/a&gt;pattern of Ciel from the Black Butler anime. I asked for this pattern not a while ago, and it was fulfilled in a matter of hours (Thanks!) But as you know, I can't libe if I don't change my project every 10 seconds, so I didn't stitch it right away. I did so a few night ago anyway, and here's what I got:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lgnXPGoXjdY/TyAJDRGyzxI/AAAAAAAABO4/5GkZOGKy7KE/s1600/CIMG1410.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lgnXPGoXjdY/TyAJDRGyzxI/AAAAAAAABO4/5GkZOGKy7KE/s400/CIMG1410.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701567079987203858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I absolutely love it. The back and the inside is covered with pink and white polka  dot paper that goes really well with Ciel's dress. And I'm in love with the dress. I made some notes for bookmark making in future - be more carefull with folding the fabric to the inside to avoid such small showing bits, and think of alternative glueing medium. It will also be a good idea to use another kind of magnits, these are small and bulky and the inside paper can't stay put. But they're pretty strong, I can clip more than 20 pages without fearing they will fall off, but I usually go with no more than 5 pages, because else the book has that "gaping" look&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BZKNDKYhe7c/TyAJDta9yTI/AAAAAAAABPE/iFkkUxWdsmc/s1600/CIMG1411.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BZKNDKYhe7c/TyAJDta9yTI/AAAAAAAABPE/iFkkUxWdsmc/s400/CIMG1411.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701567087588002098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The book model btw is the second from the Septimus Heap series. It seems that I don't actually own a book suitable to be bookmarked with a character in a pretty dress. This doesn't  change my feelings for the book nor the bookmark tho!&lt;br /&gt;Have fun with your reads and stitches!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;Идеята да си направя магнитен книгоразделител ми се въртеше в главата от известно време, по-точно, откакто изгубих точните координати на единствения си истински магнитен книгоразделител. Като най-голямо предимство на магнитните трябва да се изтъкне, че те нямат навика да се изсулват от книгата веднага щом я пуснеш в чантата, или докато небрежно я размахваш, ходейки.&lt;br /&gt;И така, за нуждите на експеримента избрах схемичка отново от &lt;a href="http://dorkstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dork Stitch&lt;/a&gt; със Сиел от Black butler/ Kuroshitsuji . Отвътре и на гърба залепих розова хартия на точки, която страшно отива на роклята &amp;lt;3&lt;br /&gt;Вследствие от експеримента бяха отбелязани някои точки, на които следва да се обърне повече внимание при повтарянето му - при прегъването на плата навътре да не остават стърчишки; да се помисли за друг начин за залепяне (понастоящем двойно тиксо) и за евентуална смяна на вида магнити. Тези сега за доста тлъстички и хартията отвътре не може да прилепне равно. Затова пък са доста силни, и над 20 страници се закрепят без проблем, макар че аз никога не хващам повече от 5, защото иначе книгата остава да зее.&lt;br /&gt;А тази книга тук между другото е вторият том от поредицата за Септимъс Хийп. Понастоящем изглежда нямам книги, на които да им отиват кигоразделители с красиви розови роклички.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-4914450407667742334?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/4914450407667742334/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=4914450407667742334' title='9 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/4914450407667742334'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/4914450407667742334'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2012/01/stitched-magnetic-bookmark.html' title='Stitched magnetic bookmark'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lgnXPGoXjdY/TyAJDRGyzxI/AAAAAAAABO4/5GkZOGKy7KE/s72-c/CIMG1410.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-8063738634813954018</id><published>2012-01-23T10:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T10:57:59.441-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IHSW'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='birthday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TUSAL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='card'/><title type='text'>January IHSW and TUSAL</title><content type='html'>I already had the chance to check the blogs of some the participants, and it seems that the weekend was quite productive for everyone, including me, even if my plans got little messed up.

No matter what a try, it won't look good. If it was on me, everything would be scanned. But some things just don't fit, like the TUSAL jar for example&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kdpdN4jdoPY/Tx2qLOkAAlI/AAAAAAAABOs/mKXQHdej2jQ/s1600/CIMG1404.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kdpdN4jdoPY/Tx2qLOkAAlI/AAAAAAAABOs/mKXQHdej2jQ/s400/CIMG1404.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700899813185290834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is the same jar I used for my first TUSAL in 2010. This is the best shot I was able to take today, because of glass reflections and the butterfliy stickers.&lt;br /&gt;I think this is all for now! I don't know what I will work on this evening, but it will be while watching The Swan Princess. By the way, I watched Ratatouille while working on the mouse doctor, it seemes appropriate :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Предния пост казах, че този уикенд ще работя върху мишка за картичката, който чайка ми поръча. Успях да я завърша до неделя вечерта и днес оформих самата картичка. От резултата съм много доволна, макар че има какво още да се желае, особено относно фотографските умения. Ако зависеше от мен, всичко щеше да отива в скенера. За съжаение някои неща просто не се побират, като например ТУСАЛ буркана.&lt;br /&gt;ТУСАЛ е съкращението за едно начинание, в което участвах през 2010 и за тази година отново се записах. Идеята е да събираш всичките си отпадъчни кончета през месеца и да предоставяш снимково доказателство за това.&lt;br /&gt;Ии май това е за днес. Не знам върху какво ще работя вечерта, но със сигурност ще е докато гледам "Принцесата лебед". А мишката ших, докато гледах Рататуи, просто ми се стори много уместно :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-8063738634813954018?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/8063738634813954018/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=8063738634813954018' title='16 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/8063738634813954018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/8063738634813954018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2012/01/january-ihsw-and-tusal.html' title='January IHSW and TUSAL'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5mMbodtJo_Y/Tx2iq05keeI/AAAAAAAABNw/VN4DXPKTfas/s72-c/md1.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-7526125636483831723</id><published>2012-01-21T08:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-21T10:47:35.600-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='finish'/><title type='text'>Why is it finished?</title><content type='html'>I can't help but feel a little bit of guilt abour finishing so fast a piece that is all about procrastinating, and constantly putting off every other project.&lt;br /&gt;I finished it Friday evening, I had only the bottom border to do. I planned to make a fast finish and continue with something else, but on breakfast I picked up Neil Gaiman's Fragile things and couldn't let go until I finished it. It's a collection of short stories and on of these books where you're not sure which reaction is more appropriate after finishing every story - to ask yourself WTF did you just read, or simply stare in awe. Anyway, since the start of the year, I was able to keep reading only from my pre-New year TBR pile, and buy only two new books, a fact that I am very proud of.&lt;br /&gt;But I was talking about stitching. A little more info on the project - I stitched it on the yellow aida that I received from Kttykat more than an year and half ago. It had a very nice colour, cheerfull and bright, but up till now I couldn't find a project suitable for it. I didn't use the reccomended colours, because I didn't have all of them, and because I wasn't sure they will look good on the bright yellow as the model was stitched in lighter linen. I simply follower the colour descriptions and used Ariadna and Puppets . I really like the final result, but I'm still not sure what kind of finish to make.  At first I was planning to got it framed, but hen I imagined myslef explaining to the people from the craft shop how some of the flowers on the border are supposed to be unfinished. So I will probably settle for some kind of home finish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j5Xuxl5vTsE/Txrzm3VgcpI/AAAAAAAABNY/ag-6gaSY9Mo/s1600/why2.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 216px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j5Xuxl5vTsE/Txrzm3VgcpI/AAAAAAAABNY/ag-6gaSY9Mo/s400/why2.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700136127405519506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I have something else to show today that was finished pre- this IHSW. The nurse that woks with my mom asked me to make her something like a little baggy, with flower motif in red, green and yellow. She gave presice mesurement for it and for the length of the cord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AsJ-oNZD3-U/Txr0tDUf50I/AAAAAAAABNk/rwKL3sqfUsA/s1600/flo.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 293px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AsJ-oNZD3-U/Txr0tDUf50I/AAAAAAAABNk/rwKL3sqfUsA/s400/flo.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700137333213357890" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;And this is what I made. I still need to iron it for a tidier finish at the opening. I used a biscornu-like trim to the edges, because I think it's pretty. But I have to say I didn't really enjoy working on it. I had too many requirements, and in the same time, I didn't and still don't know what is this supposed to serve for, which means I don't know if I did the right job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any case, this project at least fully classifies for the Jardin January theme-a-licious. I hoped to work this weekend on the Tree of stitches, becasue it's flower-ish too. But my mom popped up with another request for a card fro one of her collegues and I'm now working on a cute mouse doctor we picked up together. It's a small pattern and I hope I'll be able to show it to you on Monday after the IHSW completely finished!&lt;br /&gt;For now I wish you all a stitch IHSW and overall a great weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it? вече е завършено! Вижда се цялото стихче, в което неизвестният автор разсъждава защо всеки път, когато преполови някой проект, радостта и удовлетворението от него намаляват, и как винаги е по-лесно да започнеш нов, отколкото да завършиш стар. Това, според мен, е универсална истина, която се разпростира много извън областта на ръкоделието. Затова в момента ми е леко гузно, че завърших за толкова кратко време, и без отлагане, проект, чиято същност сама по себе си възпява отлагането. За сметка на това отлагам без задръжки всичко останало, позовавайки се на стария мъдър принцип "Никога не отлагай за утре това, което можеш да свършиш вдругиден". Този принцип без съмнение е в основите на дългосрочното планиране.&lt;br /&gt;Why is it беше завършено петък вечерта, т.е. преди началото на IHSW, и постването му сега е напълно обосновано. Бяха останали само долните цветенца, т.е. не повече от един епизод работа, но от закуска почнах "Чупливи неща" на Нийл Геймън (и ето, че излиза, че все пък съм го отложила заради нещо друго. Фю, олекна ми!) и се заех с довършването на семплера чак след като свърших книгата.  Тя представлява сборник къси разкази, и след всеки от тях човек се чуди коя реакция би била по-подходяща - да се пита какво, по дяволите, е прочел току що, или да зяпа неопределено и да си мисли, че това беше направо зашеметяващо, в добрия смисъл. Във всеки случай някои от тия разкази със сигурност няма да ги препрочитам, way too creepy.&lt;br /&gt;Но думата ми беше, като цяло, за Why is it. Малко допълнително инфо - жълтият плат за фона го спечелих преди повече от година и половина, и въпреки че цветът е много хубав, досега не можех да му намеря подходящо приложение. Не спазвах посочените цветове на конците за проекта, а само цветовите описания. Не бях убедена, че ще изпъкват достатъчно добре на жълтото, защото оригиналният модел беше показан на доста по-блед фон. Не съм сигурна още как ще го завърша. Отначало си мислех за рамка, но после си помислих, че ще трябва да обяснявам в магазина как някои от цветенцата нарочно не са завършени... и май ще остана с нещо домашно направено.&lt;br /&gt;И другото нещо, което имам за показване - него го позавърших даже преди да почне сесията, но не остана време за показване. НЕго ми го поръча медицинската сестра, която работи с мама. Трябваше и торбичка, с цветен мотив в червено, жълто и зелено. Имаше и точни указания за размерите на торбичката и дължината на шнура. Завърших я отстрани както се завършва бискорню, защото ми харесва контрастният декоративен ефект на този шев. Малко има нужда от изглаждане обаче, за да се оправи горния ръб при отвора (сега просто я пъхнах и я затиснах в скенера). Трябва да призная обаче, че ми беше малко скучно да работя върху това. Имаше доста изисквания, за които да следя, а същевременно не знаех, и още не съм наясно за какво точно трябва да служи торбичката - т.е. няма как да знам дали съм си свършила работата като хората. Ще разбера чак началото на февруари, когато медицинската сестра се връща на работа. Но тъй като е цветен мотив, влиза в условието на Theme-a-licious - предизвикателство, което за всеки месец поставя определена тема, и за януари е "градина".&lt;br /&gt;Този уикенд смятах да поработя малко върху Дървото, което отдавна не съм хващала, но майка ми поръча да направя картичка за рожден ден. Заедно избрахме една сладка мишка доктор , и се надявам да я свърша до понеделник.&lt;br /&gt;Весел уикенд дотогава!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-7526125636483831723?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/7526125636483831723/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=7526125636483831723' title='6 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/7526125636483831723'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/7526125636483831723'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-is-it-finished.html' title='Why is it finished?'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j5Xuxl5vTsE/Txrzm3VgcpI/AAAAAAAABNY/ag-6gaSY9Mo/s72-c/why2.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-7353389616296710802</id><published>2012-01-18T13:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-18T16:35:22.060-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><title type='text'>Why is it?...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Why is it when&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I'm halfaway through&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Creative joys diminish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It's more fun to start a piece&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Than it ever is to finish!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NA4qDc54Ai0/TxdBAsBRXOI/AAAAAAAABNM/Co4KUBpcHmo/s1600/why.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 317px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NA4qDc54Ai0/TxdBAsBRXOI/AAAAAAAABNM/Co4KUBpcHmo/s400/why.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699095333532949730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;That's, like, the story of all of my stitchings. I can't help but wonder whether I'll continue stitching on this piece now that I removed it from the loop, or I'll pick something else...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These last ten days was my exam session, so I didn't have much time for crafting. I worked mostly the night after my first exam because I thought I deserved it on order to switch from one subject matter to the other, and today, after my last. This will probably be my first and last uni exam session where I score excellent notes on all subjects, but for now I'm on the happy wave and plan a lot of stitching endeavours, especially given that the &lt;a href="http://joysze.blogspot.com/p/international-hermit-and-stitch-weekend.html"&gt;IHSW &lt;/a&gt;is this weekend. I really might stick with the Why is it? because of the flowerish border and I want to try and do the &lt;a href="http://lottloft.blogspot.com/"&gt;Theme-a licious&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Последните десетина дни беше изпитната  сесия и освен за четене (учебно) нямаше много време за друго. Върху Why is it? обаче ми остана време да поработя вечерта след първия изпит, малко като почивка при смяната на курса от един предмет на друг; и тази вечер, след последния изпит. Това сигурно ще си остане първата и последна сесия, която изкарвам само с шестици, но това в момента няма значение, защото предстои една хубава дълга междусеместриална ваканция :))) &lt;a href="http://joysze.blogspot.com/p/international-hermit-and-stitch-weekend.html"&gt;IHSW&lt;/a&gt; е този уикенд, и през него сигурно ще довърша Why is it? или нещо друго цветно, за да хвана и условията за &lt;a href="http://lottloft.blogspot.com/"&gt;Theme-a licious&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-7353389616296710802?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/7353389616296710802/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=7353389616296710802' title='5 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/7353389616296710802'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/7353389616296710802'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-is-it.html' title='Why is it?...'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NA4qDc54Ai0/TxdBAsBRXOI/AAAAAAAABNM/Co4KUBpcHmo/s72-c/why.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-3355782634058936426</id><published>2012-01-09T11:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-09T11:48:01.196-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wipocalypse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tiny'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='haed'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='storykeep'/><title type='text'>January Wipocalypse check-in</title><content type='html'>So, it's time for the first Wipocalypse post for the year! Getting excited!&lt;br /&gt;As I posted these previous days some progress on projects that are in the wipocalypse list, I'll use that clause where it's stated we can use links. I'm pretty sure I saw it somewhere, even though now I can't find it.&lt;br /&gt;Now this is my Wipocalypse list, I added one more and it's Death as the Hogfather! I've been dying to stitch it for some time now, but wasn't sure if I want to add another big project to the list. But when I checked it this weekend, it turned it's not as big as I thought it was, so here we go! I've also decided I'll add to my wipocalypse list projects that are meant to stay at home/or for family, and not ones I make for presents and such, because they're usually smaller, I decide on them at the last moment, when it's just not appropriate to add them, and because I decided to be selfish this year and try stitching more for myself *mwahahaha* Last year I gave away most of my finished works, some of them I didn't even have the take to take a picture of.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here's what we got:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spring in Japan (Mylena Style)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Steam Punk fairy (Haed) - I'm seriously thinking of restarting this project, because I'm not very happy with the fabric&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tree of Stitches (Abi Gurden)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The great escape (Abi Gurden)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;One sheep open sleigh (Waxing moon)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Storykeeper Storykeep (haed) - &lt;a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cCtJYMHJVuU/Tweg-KTrsyI/AAAAAAAABMc/f0_GlT6kBy4/s512/bookkeep.jpg.jpg"&gt;here &lt;/a&gt;- working on the bottom page with a little black added from the middle page.

I know that the definition is a little too wide, but I have some things in mind.

After seeing Yugi last time, you should have known what's coming next. That's right, the owner of the Blue-eyes white dragon, my fav character from the series - Seto Kaiba.  It's one again from the &lt;a href="http://dorkstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dork Stitch &lt;/a&gt;blog where Missy flawlessly captured the antigravity coat of Kaiba, which he has because the mangaka didn't gift him with antigtavity hair.  I know I promised you more Yu-gi-oh themed babbling, but since I'm sleepy now and have more things to show, I plan to skip it, but hardly someone is going to miss it. I just have to add that with this sprite stitched I'm totally out of place on my board and will have to think of other way to display the tinies I stitch in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CUh84GdEquM/TweatxwbJOI/AAAAAAAABME/qktQYqraEVI/s1600/seto.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CUh84GdEquM/TweatxwbJOI/AAAAAAAABME/qktQYqraEVI/s400/seto.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694690365074515170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;И тъй, да започнем представянето с другите дребосъци. Най-напред някого, за чиято поява предварително съобщих, и която трябваше да се очаква след Юги - притежателят на Синеокия бял дракон, любимият ми герой от поредицата - Сето Кайба. Отново от блога на &lt;a href="http://dorkstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dork Stitch &lt;/a&gt;, където Миси безукорно е уловила вида на неподчиняващото се на гравитацията му палто, с което мангаката го е надарил, предполагам след като му е отказал антигравитационна коса като на останалите герои.  Бях планувала още да разнищвам темата за Ю-ги-о, но тъй като ми се спи, а и имам и други неща за показване, смятам да пропусна, пък и се съмнявам някой да остане дълбоко разочарован от този факт. Ще добавя само, че сега съвсем ми свърши мястото на корковата дъска и няма къде да си забождам следващите геройчета.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, isn't it adorable how I can't line two characters? I guess this might piss off Sebastian, but worse things happen, you know. Those two characters come form the same place Seto did, that to say Dork Stitch, but they originate from another anime - Kuroshitsuji, or Black Butler. Here we see Black Butler in the bottom, and Red Reaper above!  Ok, this wasn't very smart, but sleepy is sleepy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7Es-ErwVrzw/TweeC4aqu6I/AAAAAAAABMQ/h8eYa2jRbVs/s1600/butlers.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 147px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7Es-ErwVrzw/TweeC4aqu6I/AAAAAAAABMQ/h8eYa2jRbVs/s400/butlers.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694694026174446498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Двамата други героя, които идват сега, са от същия блог, но от друго аниме - Курошитсуджи. Отгоре имаме Жътвар на души в червено, общо взето шматка, отдолу иконом в черно, който иначе е демон, който е сключил договор за душата на главния герой, но е общо взето от добрите, и побеждава лошите със сребърните прибори за хранене, като всичко това е включено в изключително заплетен и неправдоподобен сюжет.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now I will show you a bunch of weird looking stitches, and I'll ask you to think of them of some sort of ugly duckling, if this could be a stitching methaphore. About a week ago I started the SK Storykeeper, but I started from the bottom page, because I figure it would be easier this way, with the rather large blocks of black.  While stitching was indeed pleasent and easy, espacially with a dubbed movie, I have to say, this bottom page isn't very motivational. Even after it is finished, it won't make you go " Wow, what a beauty!" or " Now the whole piece makes sence!".  But keep thinking of the duckling and that there are two more pages to come! Ok, so here is the present and the future (I hope) of my SK: With that, all that's left is to wish you a nice weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/dkv16IggeDmi9r9WsibzJDsH6EwbiZ6eRrIT6jir9xI?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 336px; height: 512px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cCtJYMHJVuU/Tweg-KTrsyI/AAAAAAAABMc/f0_GlT6kBy4/s640/bookkeep.jpg.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a8pC3JHjoZg/TwekE_TemDI/AAAAAAAABMo/7-hJ0yDo4OM/s1600/skstorykeeper.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 60px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a8pC3JHjoZg/TwekE_TemDI/AAAAAAAABMo/7-hJ0yDo4OM/s400/skstorykeeper.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694700659452844082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;И накрая на този пост искам да ви покажа нещо, което засега общо взето не прилича на нищо. Ще ви помоля да мислите за него като за крафтърски еквивалент на грозното патенце, защото горе виждате в какво трябва да се превърне (да се надяваме).  Почнах го преди около седмица от най-долната страница, защото там има много черно, и е общо взето по-лесно да се работи. Това си е така, но самата страница трудно може да се нарече мотивираща. От цялата картинка тя стига горе-долу до глезена на крака на момичето. Така че даже и цялата да е завършена, не предизвиква бурни изблици на възвишени чувства. Но, мислете за патенцето.&lt;br /&gt;Сега, май единственото, което остана да ви пожелая, е приятен уикенд :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-1695651826291888081?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/1695651826291888081/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=1695651826291888081' title='2 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/1695651826291888081'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/1695651826291888081'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2012/01/some-more-tinies-and-about-3000.html' title='Some more tinies and about 3000 stitches that still form nothing'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CUh84GdEquM/TweatxwbJOI/AAAAAAAABME/qktQYqraEVI/s72-c/seto.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-2662059816827923321</id><published>2012-01-06T13:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-30T04:37:08.685-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tiny'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='list'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='finish'/><title type='text'>2012 crafty report post</title><content type='html'>Same as the previous one ,but for the crafty records.

I bet you've already recognized the style from&lt;a href="http://dorkstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt; Dork Stitch&lt;/a&gt;! This December &lt;span class="post-author vcard"&gt;&lt;span class="fn"&gt;Missy-tannenbaum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; posted tons of new sprites that I can't wait to stitch! It was hard, but I forced myself to finish the Ouran set first before starting the new ones (I'm not stitching Renge).&lt;br /&gt;Those last days I've been spending most of my time working on Storykeep that I mentioned as a part of my wipocalypse list. I actually started it before the new year and have been working on it and rewatching the first season of Pokemon(because it's dubbed and because it's the best). But I wanted to watch some stuff with subtitles that I found dont work well with Haed so I switched to a sprite. and besides, it feels wrong to stitch Yugi and watch Pokemon. Just.. wrong.&lt;br /&gt;Somewhere in the back of my mind, Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh are something like arch-enemies. Pocket monsters or duel cards? Back then I have no idea how much junk food I ate in order to gather quite good collection of Pokemon tazos and Yu-gi-oh cards. I have no idea where most of them are now, but I remember in high school I kept using a Vulpix tazo to draw sircles in geometry classes.  In any case, I've always had stronger symathies towards the Yu-gi-oh.  More action. Shadow games. And ultimate anti gravity hair.  Noone can beat this. Every argument is invalid.&lt;br /&gt; I may add some more Yu-go-oh rant when I make Seto too&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here is the tip I promised you. Follow these easy steps:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make yourself a cup of tea&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Watch a movie and stitch&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Put your orts in your cup of tea instead of your orts jar&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Notice it somewhere at the middle of the film&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Feel stupid. Welcome to the club&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;През последния месец на &lt;a href="http://dorkstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dork Stitch &lt;/a&gt;се появиха десетки нови схеми, повечето от които нямам търпение да направя. Успях стоически да устоя на изкушението обаче и първо се заех да завърша героите от Оуран. С появата на Кьоя и близнаците тази задача вече е завършена.&lt;br /&gt;Тези дни се занимавам главно с една от задачите, които си поставих за новата година и wipocalypsis-а - Storykeep. Започнах го всъщност преди новата година и докато работех на него се наслаждавах на първия сезон на Покемон, защото него мога да го гледам дублиран и това значително улеснява работата. Но днес исках да гледам нещо със субтитри, а като цяло четенето на субтитри и работата върху Хаед не е особено успешна комбинация. Затова избрах да се заема с Юги.  А и някакси ми изглеждаше грешно да гледаш Покемон, а да правиш Юги.&lt;br /&gt;Сигурна съм, че сте разпознали Юги, защото преди не толкова много време ликът му красеше доста неща, голяма част от тях с китайски произход, но какво да се прави. В съзнанието ми Покемон и Ю-ги-о са нещо като заклети врагове. Джобни чудовища или дуели на сенките. Симпатиите ми от време на време може да са се колебаели и едновременно да съм консумирала огромни количества снакс за Покемон тазоси и кроасани за Ю-ги-о картички (повечето от които не знам къде се намират понастоящем, но помня, че ив гимназията чертаех кръгове по геометрия с тазос на Вулпикс, докато повечето се мъчеха с левчета. Xa, noobs. Ако някой се чуди,  пергелите никога не са били на мода№) . Но в крайна сметка предпочитанията ми към Ю-ги-о винаги са надделявали. Повече драма. Напрежение. И пълното отричане на физичните закони. Косата. Пред антигравитационните коси от това аниме всеки друг аргумент е невалиден.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;А сега, освен всичко друго, ще споделя и един лесен и подходящ за всеки ден начин да се почувстваш тъп. Следвайте следните стъпки:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Направете си чаша чай&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Пуснете си филм докато шиете&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Пускайте остатъците от конци в чашата&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Усетете се чак към средата на филма&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Чувствайте се тъпи. Добре дошли в клуба&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-957431133320888679?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/957431133320888679/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=957431133320888679' title='4 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/957431133320888679'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/957431133320888679'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2012/01/some-tiny-stitches-and-tip-how-to-feel.html' title='Some tiny stitches and a tip how to feel like a stupid stitcher'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wfxWkWY_5_k/TwI_26Qw7II/AAAAAAAABKk/Z_frLDIHCuw/s72-c/sprites.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-622851220633008284</id><published>2012-01-01T08:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T10:30:41.544-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TBR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='books'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='list'/><title type='text'>Past and future reading activities: some lists, stats and goals</title><content type='html'>So, lets start with the future! Yesterday I mentioned I joined the TBR reading challenge from the blog &lt;a href="http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/10/mount-tbr-reading-challenge.html"&gt;My reader's block&lt;/a&gt;, where your goal is to read as many as possible from the books you bought and piled dureing the past years. There are several milestones, cleverly named after different mountains. I decide to go for the smallest onem which in this case is Pike's Peak and is the equivalent of 12 books from the pile. Even though I have enough stash to climb quite bigger heights, I don't trust myslef not to go, buy, and start new ones, and besides, I love rereading, that is also not included.&lt;br /&gt;It is not necessairy to make and follow a list in order to join, but here are some titles that will def be included (and that are in hand's reach so I can check the original title)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Skulduggery Pleasent: Dark Days (Derek Landy)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Son of Neptune (Rick Riordan)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Flyte (Angie Sage)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Physik (Angie Sage)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Queste (Angie Sage)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Syren (Angie Sage)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I can also tell you that some works of Neil Gaiman and Nikolai Tellalov will most def be added. The first two books I've just added to my reading now list. I was wondering wich one to dig first, but as mom took the Son of Neptune, I'm left with the Dark Days.  But she keeps coming to my room to tell me spoilers from the book. It's actually quite nice to have her hooked on the same series as me. After I bought the first book for Septimus Heap, she went and got the whole series. But as the last one is not out yet, now she's kinda depressed, because she's left with too many on going series, poor thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now let's see what I managed to read this past year. Unfortunatelly for me I can mark only new reads to my goal on Shelfari (or at least I don't know how to mark rereads).  This year I reread the whod HP saga, so I think I finished at least 45. I think this year I will have to manage a TBR list, a new reads list and a list of total lists. A list in a list in a list. Sounds awesome. And I should watch Inception too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The "goal" option on Shelfari is not a widget, so I'm just copying the text, but the link are still active, which is cool&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="goal"&gt;       &lt;p class="edit-wrap clear"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I want to read 50 new books between Jan 1, 2011 and Dec 31, 2011&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;                    &lt;div id="progress-wrap" class="clear"&gt;

So now lets start the new year's reads!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2uc0aan0jQQ/TwCd7sGRl3I/AAAAAAAABKM/0wRtpS65AGo/s1600/read-all-the-books-all-of-them.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2uc0aan0jQQ/TwCd7sGRl3I/AAAAAAAABKM/0wRtpS65AGo/s400/read-all-the-books-all-of-them.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692723577771628402" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;И така, нека да започнем книжния преглед от бъдещето, т.е. от плановете за новата година, които традиционно доста надценяват реалните възможности, но в това се таи част от чара им. В последния ден на старата година засякох едно читателско предизвикателство &lt;a href="http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/10/mount-tbr-reading-challenge.html"&gt;TBR reading challenge&lt;/a&gt; , където целта е да прочетеш колкото можеш повече от книгите, които си си купил и които събират прах и чакат звездния си миг. И за да е по-интересно, целите са представени под формата на планини, чиито върхове изкачваш. Аз си набелязах като цел най-ниската планина, Пайкс Пийк (Pike's Peak) , която никога не съм чувала, но тъй като географските ми познания не са особено обширни, това не е чак толкова изненадващо. По-важно в случая е, че тя отговаря на 12 книги от купчината. ВЪпреки че имам материал да покоря доста по-високи върхове, нямам достатъчно доверие в себе си, че няма да пренебрегна къщните запаси за сметка на нещо ново току-що донесено от книжарницата.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Предварителен списък не е задължителен за участие, но ето някои заглавия, които със сигурност ще бъдат прочетени при първа възможност&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Скълдъгъри Плезънт: Мрачни дни - Дерек Ланди&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Синът на Нептун - Рик РИърдън&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Лечение - Анджи Сейдж&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Полет - Анджи Сейдж&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Търсене - Анджи Сейдж&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Сирена - Анджи Сейдж&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Освен това произведения на Нийл Геймън и Николай Теллалов също ще бъдат включени. Първите две книги даже вече си ги включих в списъка "чета в момента", като се колебаех с коя да се заема по-сериозно, но тъй като мама чете Синът на Нептун, за мен останаха Мрачните дни. Затова път тя не пропуска да мине през стаята и да сподели някой и друг спойлер, като да речем как са предвидили бъдещето на Пърси по вътрешностите на плюшена панда. Всъщност да сме зарибени по едни и същи поредици си е много  хубаво. След като взех първата книга на Анджи Сейдж за Септимъс Хийп, тя се запали и набързо попълни поредицата, осигурявайки ми доста материал за четене. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Дотук с бъдещетие планове. Да обърнем поглед към изминалата година. На Шелфари си бях поставила за цел да прочета 50 книги, но тъй като там мога да отбелязвам само новичките току-що прочетени книжки, а не и препрочитанията, бройката не е много точна. Там ми излезе 38 книжки, но тъй като препрочетох и цялата ХП сага по случай излизането на последния филм, а също и някои други неща, финалната бройка трябва да ми е най-млако 45. И така, за тази година ще трябва да си имам списък за TBR книгите, които са вече купени и ще бъдат прочетени за първи път, списък на Шелфари с всички прочетени за пръв път книги и общ списък включващ и евентуални препрочитания. Списък в списъка в списъка. Звучи като Inception, който филм също трябва евентуално да видя&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;И общо взето това е относно плановете за читателската дейност :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-622851220633008284?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/622851220633008284/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=622851220633008284' title='1 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/622851220633008284'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/622851220633008284'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2012/01/past-and-future-reading-activities-some.html' title='Past and future reading activities: some lists, stats and goals'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2uc0aan0jQQ/TwCd7sGRl3I/AAAAAAAABKM/0wRtpS65AGo/s72-c/read-all-the-books-all-of-them.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-5972434184514700826</id><published>2011-12-31T07:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-31T12:06:29.823-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wipocalypse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TBR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='list'/><title type='text'>Happy New Year!

I hope you had a great 2011 and I wish you an even better 2012 year! Let it be full of all kinds of fun and awesome stuff! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I'll use this post to present you the list for the &lt;a href="http://measi.net/measiblog/2012-wipocalypse/"&gt;Wipocalypse, hosted by Measi&lt;/a&gt;! Fortunately for me, I can change it as much as I want during the year, so here is what I came with so far:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spring in Japan (Mylena Style)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Steam Punk fairy (Haed)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tree of Stitches (Abi Gurden)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The great escape (Abi Gurden)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;One sheep open sleigh (Waxing moon)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Storykeeper Storykeep (haed)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mirror, mirror (Abbey Lane Designs)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why is it? (The Cricket Collection)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Random Selection of characters (from &lt;a href="http://dorkstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dork Stitch&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://crossstitchanime.110mb.com/WebPageOpening.html"&gt;Anime Stitching&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://superstitch.110mb.com/"&gt;Super Stitch,&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://gatchastitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Gatchastitch &lt;/a&gt;and so on. I may add some from pattern I tried to make, but we\ll see about that)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is for now.. Hope I'm not missing something.. In any case, it is to be continued!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And aside from the stitching plans, I decided to join the &lt;a href="http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/10/mount-tbr-reading-challenge.html"&gt;TBR reading challenge&lt;/a&gt; where your goal is to read as much as possible from the books you've piled up.

I also turned to be an awful oracle. I obviously can't see a thing in the future. In my last post I predicted that the craft I should work on and finish before Christmas was the set of the cross stitched ornaments, starting with that deer. Yeah, but no. Future had another plans&lt;br /&gt;You see, we had this campaign at Uni, selling handmade stuff and raising money for a children's home. I really wanted to take part, but as i had to make a rather large number in a short time, I had to give up on cross stitching and decided to do some felt ornaments. i made  25 for the fund raising, and with 4 for the rest of my group as presents, 4 for my mom's workplace and a few more for friends and etc.. I think it's a total of 35 for now. Here are just a few, but at least one of every kind is presented. The gingerbread and the birdiew are Tilda inspired and the snowman idea is from a site I can't find right now (&amp;gt;.&amp;gt;) but I'll update once I figure it out.&lt;br /&gt;hmm.. I wonder how I ended up writing a blog post after midnight... Right now I have that good intention to make my wipocalypse list, but as I proved, I'm not good at guessing. I may just sit and watch another episode of the first season of Pokemon, just because of Team Rocket. I think I'll never get tired of their catch phrase. And you, just keep up the joly mood, because the holidays and the partying isn't over! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i-5qJ7Y_oV8/TvjbBH4w8tI/AAAAAAAABJo/6HRJzhEMqoo/s1600/CIMG1385.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i-5qJ7Y_oV8/TvjbBH4w8tI/AAAAAAAABJo/6HRJzhEMqoo/s400/CIMG1385.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690538941526110930" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ПО-добре късно, отколкото никога, но се надявам всички да са прекарали чудесно коледните празници! :))&lt;br /&gt;Освен че съм назад с нещата, оказва се, че един от другите ми  недостатъци е неспособността ми да виждам в бъдещето. Последно надникнах в кристалната топка и там преди Коледа завършвах серията с орнаменти, първи от които трябваше да бъде този с елена. А ето защо очакванията не бяха оправдани : от университета организираха кампания Коледен павилион за събиране на средства за детски дом като се продават разни ръчно, а и не ръчно изработени неща. Тъй  като реших, че искам да участвам, а трябваше да се направят сравнително голям брой предмети за относително малък период от време, най-добрата крафтърска опция беше да се направят филцови орнаменти. За павилиона направих 25, 4 за колегите  от групата, 4 за кабинета на мама, и още няколко за раздаване, засега общо взето излизат към 35 закръглено. Тъй като все бързах да ги направя и да ги дам, успях да фотографирам само последната пратка, но на нея присъства поне по един представител от всеки вид, така че не е толкова зле. Курабийката и пилето са по тилдовски, а идеята за снежния човек е от един сайт към който ще линкна веднага щом го преоткрия.&lt;br /&gt;Както винаги, блогуването се оказва дейност, с който се занимавам след полунощ, но с малко повече късмет сега ще го завърша преди един. В момента в главата ми се върти благородната идея да си направя списъка за уипокалипсиса, но вече установихме, че не ме бива в предвиждането. Може да продължа да гледам първия сезон на Покемон, само и само заради екипа Ракета. Никога няма да ми омръзне встъпителната им реч XD&lt;br /&gt;А вие поддържайте приповдигнатото празнично настроение, защото празниците още не са свършили! :D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-1802463174894844804?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/1802463174894844804/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=1802463174894844804' title='1 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/1802463174894844804'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/1802463174894844804'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/12/hope-you-all-had-very-merry-christmas.html' title='Hope you all had a very merry Christmas'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i-5qJ7Y_oV8/TvjbBH4w8tI/AAAAAAAABJo/6HRJzhEMqoo/s72-c/CIMG1385.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-7558252844521956335</id><published>2011-11-20T04:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-20T06:15:53.541-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christmass'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IHSD'/><title type='text'>IHSW November</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;a title="Random Ramblings" href="http://joysze.blogspot.com/p/international-hermit-and-stitch-weekend.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-O7Fcchrvu9c/TmpdwyJTSQI/AAAAAAAAQ6k/3no3UV3rvaw/IHSW%252520Hermie1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I was able to join in this month's hermitting! Ignoring the fact I have wips I should work on, I decided to do some Christmas smalls I plan for ornaments and presents. I couldn completely make a finish tho. But here's the Gera Christmas ornament that is mounted, but still needs some trimming, and then is then is the first one of a set of smalls of Prairie Schooler. There are nine of them , and I hope to make at least four before Christmas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xseuCgX3wuE/Tsj09KYy4bI/AAAAAAAABJQ/D0458DKSPik/s1600/2012.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 376px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xseuCgX3wuE/Tsj09KYy4bI/AAAAAAAABJQ/D0458DKSPik/s400/2012.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677056661898060210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4KjU9ni2SKc/Tsj1dt7Lx7I/AAAAAAAABJc/Qx56YAwMhBk/s1600/moose.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 372px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4KjU9ni2SKc/Tsj1dt7Lx7I/AAAAAAAABJc/Qx56YAwMhBk/s400/moose.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677057221193353138" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;But now I look into my crystal ball and forsee not much stitching activity in the near future. Instead I see NHSW - Non-international Hermit and Study Weeks  for the set of tests before the end of the term XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's for now and happy stitches!&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Този месец успях да се включа навреме за IHSW :) Вместо да се заема с някой от текущите проекти, реших да мина на коледна вълна и да направя нещо за орнаментчета (някои читатели се досетиха, че е на ред коледната тематика :))))  Не успях в цялост да завърша, но първото моделче е вече качено на картона, трябва му само малко украска. Второто започнато е част от комплект от девет, но съм решила да направя от тях четири (поне) преди Коледа&lt;br /&gt;Но сега като погледна в клисталното си кълбо, виждам остър дефицит на подобни занимания в следващите седмици, дължащи се на скупчилите се колоквиуми преди края на семестъра. Прояснение се вижда чак след осми декември ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Та това е всичко, приятели *с гласчето на Порки от класическите Весели Мелодии*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-7558252844521956335?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/7558252844521956335/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=7558252844521956335' title='10 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/7558252844521956335'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/7558252844521956335'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/11/ihsw-november.html' title='IHSW November'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-O7Fcchrvu9c/TmpdwyJTSQI/AAAAAAAAQ6k/3no3UV3rvaw/s72-c/IHSW%252520Hermie1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-5808538608208533615</id><published>2011-11-11T13:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-11T15:36:22.215-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stitch Spcialist'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog award'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Great  Escape'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='finish'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SAL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='card'/><title type='text'>Signs of life</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;is the name of the Poets of the Fall album I'm listening to at the moment.

I have to say I'm pretty proud of it, as this is my first official project with French knots in it. So call the war against the French knots WON! Okay, I conquered the Colonials only, but I'm not greedy.  In short, this was a very fun card to stitch. I tried to make a matching box for the thread and the needles too. This photo here is made by the lady who recieved it, Sue. As you know, I'm not much of a photographer and on top of it, I can't find where I saved the picture I made before sending the package who let me post it. I'm really good at losing files on my own computer and clothes in my own room, this is just one of my many talents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WTObrz887SI/Tr2V9CryL-I/AAAAAAAABIg/MA1M78EYsI0/s1600/Nina%252Bto%252BSue%252BT.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WTObrz887SI/Tr2V9CryL-I/AAAAAAAABIg/MA1M78EYsI0/s400/Nina%252Bto%252BSue%252BT.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673855981481766882" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Картичката за рождения ден на Stitch Specialists&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Моята пристигна и беше публикувана вече в групата, така че мога да вия покажа и на вас. Трябва да си призная, че доста се гордея с нея, защото е първият ми официален проект с френски възелчета - официално обявявам войната срещу тях за спечелена! Добре де, само срещу колониалните, но сега, не съм алчна :) Накратко, беше приятна и забавна за правене картичка. Направих и подхождаща кутийка за иглите и конците. Тази снимка тук е направена от госпожата, която получи картичката - Сю. Аз също направих снимки, преди да пратя, но, първо, не съм кой знае колко умел фотограф, и второ, не мога да намеря къде запаметих снимките. Да губя файлове на собствения си компютър и дрехи в стаята си е само един от многото ми таланти&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Parts 2 and 3 of The Great Escape&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it visible that 4 floss colours are used?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5QlGMnrY78c/Tr2iJOnRdBI/AAAAAAAABIs/IRGX8_vMtlE/s1600/CIMG1365.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5QlGMnrY78c/Tr2iJOnRdBI/AAAAAAAABIs/IRGX8_vMtlE/s400/CIMG1365.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673869384982033426" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The Great Escape&lt;br /&gt;Design by Abi Gurden&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheStitchSpecialists/"&gt;The Stitch Specialist&lt;/a&gt; group SAL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Част 2 и 3 от The Great Escape&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Личи ли си, че досега са използвани 4 цвята?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Two new followers!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Двама нови читатели!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://mangogirl-naughtscrossstitches.blogspot.com/"&gt;Mangogirl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and &lt;a href="http://obsessivecrossstitcher.blogspot.com/"&gt;Nic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;An award -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://mi6el.blogspot.com/"&gt;Zvetanka&lt;/a&gt; gave me the Tell me about yourself award - thank you so much! It asks me to tell seven things about myself&lt;br /&gt;1I like to sleep. I really do. Especially when it's cold outside. I must have evolved from some creatures that sleep through all the winter&lt;br /&gt;2I like coffee. Or rather milk with coffee. Or sugar with milk and coffee&lt;br /&gt;3. I'm a book worm and proud of it&lt;br /&gt;4. I like watching anime and also various fantastic series - right now I'm watching Doctor Who and Torchwood - and I can name some bloggers whose fault this is, lol!&lt;br /&gt;5.I like trying new crafts and i love making crafty presents&lt;br /&gt;6. I lie sheep, dogs, owls and all kind of fluff and awesome animals&lt;br /&gt;7.It always takes me hours to write a post - I started this at 11 pm and now it's 1.15 am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R9T1Nh2wUqw/Tr2s4iy0E_I/AAAAAAAABI4/t8016SAi3EI/s1600/907711.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R9T1Nh2wUqw/Tr2s4iy0E_I/AAAAAAAABI4/t8016SAi3EI/s400/907711.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673881192969278450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;So I tag everyone who has an awesome blog - this means all the readers here and who is willing to tell something about themselves!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4CKd2BygKV0/Tr2tWWwPVgI/AAAAAAAABJE/-wppc8lyhUs/s1600/nagrada_ot_irene-24.10.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 199px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4CKd2BygKV0/Tr2tWWwPVgI/AAAAAAAABJE/-wppc8lyhUs/s400/nagrada_ot_irene-24.10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673881705133331970" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mi6el.blogspot.com/"&gt;Цветанка&lt;/a&gt; ми даде тази наградка, за което сърдечно благодаря! Тя приканва да се  споделят 7 неща. И такамм&lt;br /&gt;1. Обичам да спя. Ама наистина. Особено когато е студено вън. Сигурно съм еволюирала от някой вид, който зимата изпада в летаргия&lt;br /&gt;2. Обичам кафе (то не пречи на изпълнението на точка 1). Или по точно мляко с кафе. Или захар с мляко и кафе..&lt;br /&gt;3 Книжен плъх и се гордея с това&lt;br /&gt;4 Гледам аниме и различни фантастични сериали - в момента съм на Доктор Кой и Торчууд - и мога да посоча някои блогъри, които носят пряка отговорност за тази поредна зарибявка :))))&lt;br /&gt;5 Обичам да опитвам  нови неща и техники и да правя ръчно изработени подаръци за приятели&lt;br /&gt;6 Обичам овце, кучета, сови и всякакви други пухкави и страхотни животинки&lt;br /&gt;7Винаги ми отнема твърде много време да напиша един пост. Много лесно се разсейвам&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И така, тагвам всеки, който има страхотен блог, което автоматично включва всички настоящи читатели, и който би искал да сподели нещо за себе си&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Приятен уикенд на всички!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-5808538608208533615?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/5808538608208533615/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=5808538608208533615' title='3 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/5808538608208533615'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/5808538608208533615'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/11/signs-of-life.html' title='Signs of life'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WTObrz887SI/Tr2V9CryL-I/AAAAAAAABIg/MA1M78EYsI0/s72-c/Nina%252Bto%252BSue%252BT.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-4711185232388509627</id><published>2011-10-08T02:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-08T02:50:08.879-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wip'/><title type='text'>Oh my, I really didn't mean to be gone for so long</title><content type='html'>Aah, once again, a typical case of  life getting in the way *sigh* Not a whole lot to tell, but i'll try to manage a 5 things tomorrow!

First we have TOS. I finished the last part I was working on. I sent a mail asking for a new pass for the tree, thinking I'm totally out of downloaded parts, but later I found a few more I downloaded. I will still need the new pass, but at least for now I still have what to work :)&lt;br /&gt;Second comes my first update on Steam Punk! Too bad I coudn get a better light for the photo. Anyway, this last week I've been mainly frogging rather than stitching. Massive frog attack on the Fairym and on the Tree too.&lt;br /&gt;And last but not least comes the Great Escape. The first part consist of Montenegrin Stitch. I think I did it all right. Colours again are not at their best. Fabric is light pink, and the thread is dark pink-purple colour&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2MhdQes3gqA/Tno8hq7-REI/AAAAAAAABIE/66Nr5DmnbBo/s1600/CIMG1351.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 326px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2MhdQes3gqA/Tno8hq7-REI/AAAAAAAABIE/66Nr5DmnbBo/s400/CIMG1351.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654898831276262466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Tree of Stitches&lt;br /&gt;Design by Abi Gurden&lt;br /&gt;SAL on &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheStitchSpecialists"&gt;The Stitch Specialist&lt;/a&gt; Yahoo Group&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r125SlN5Y-A/Tno8hJfelPI/AAAAAAAABH8/mBVKEBDXu2w/s1600/CIMG1354.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r125SlN5Y-A/Tno8hJfelPI/AAAAAAAABH8/mBVKEBDXu2w/s400/CIMG1354.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654898822298375410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Steam Punk Fairy, HAED&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-24xZwUbHK3s/Tno8iKBAwaI/AAAAAAAABIM/lOa_8RpW2SY/s1600/CIMG1350.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-24xZwUbHK3s/Tno8iKBAwaI/AAAAAAAABIM/lOa_8RpW2SY/s400/CIMG1350.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654898839618896290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The Great Escape&lt;br /&gt;Design by Abi Gurden&lt;br /&gt;SAL on the &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheStitchSpecialists"&gt;STitch Specialists&lt;/a&gt;, going at the moment&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;Май ще е най-добре да спра да опитвам да предвидя какво и кога ще поствам, защото досега и веднъж не съм улучила. Сигурно имам дарба за метеоролог, сбъркала съм попрището.&lt;br /&gt;Както и да е, най-накрая, ето резултати от IHSW!&lt;br /&gt;Най-напред е Дървото, с две нови части добавени. Имам още няколко клончета запас, но после ще трябва да помоля за паролата за следващите&lt;br /&gt;Следва Стийм Пънк феята с нейния първи уип! Жалко, че не можах да докарам по-добра светлина. Всъщност по-голямата част от миналата седмица беше посветена на изкарване на бодове, отколкото на поставянето на нови. Почти двеста бройки си отидоха в небитието, и все пак засега феята е с около 800 бода. Но не е като да си личи.&lt;br /&gt;И накрая, но не и по важност, идва новият САЛ наStitch Specialists - Совата! На всеки две седмици ще излиза нова част, докато се оформи пълната картинка. С тази първа част се започват гърдите на пилето.  Цветовете отново не са в пълния си блясък, платът е светло розов, конецът тъмно розов с лилав намек, който ми иде да кръстя "сладко от сливи", макар че съм наясно, че ако ида в кухнята да сверя, няма да имат общо. Може би сладко от сливи забъркано с конфитюр от ягоди, с малко сметана да омекоти и цвета, и може и да го докараме. Но аз си ги предпочитам отделно, за сметка на това придружени от палачинка.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;Also, there are some yummy giveaways going!&lt;br /&gt;Anne from &lt;a href="http://dollsmusings.blogspot.com/2011/09/100-followers1st-year-blogoversary.html"&gt;Doll's Musings&lt;/a&gt; is celebrating 100 followers&lt;br /&gt;Hannah, who is &lt;a href="http://citystitching.blogspot.com/"&gt;Stitching in the city&lt;/a&gt; wants to share some vacation memoreis with everyone&lt;br /&gt;Miranda from the &lt;a href="http://crochetstashroom.blogspot.com/"&gt;Stash Asylum&lt;/a&gt; celebrates 50 followes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;В момента има и няколко много вкуснички бонбона/конфетки/giveaway-я на горните блогове :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Приятна почивка и хубав празник на всички утре!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-3816230129154719119?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/3816230129154719119/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=3816230129154719119' title='7 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/3816230129154719119'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/3816230129154719119'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/09/ihsw-finally-and-some-giveaways-you-may.html' title='IHSW finally and some giveaways you may want to check'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2MhdQes3gqA/Tno8hq7-REI/AAAAAAAABIE/66Nr5DmnbBo/s72-c/CIMG1351.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-6801013260789832592</id><published>2011-09-20T10:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-20T12:13:41.428-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='5 Things Sunday'/><title type='text'>5 things!</title><content type='html'>Hello there everyone! The lack of posting this weekend was caused by severe absence of internet connection. So I now agree with Rosey and everyone who suggested that a castle should need  instant and unbreakable access to the World Wide Web at any time. So now I'm gonna post my 5 things, then read some frog stuff, and then post the IHSW, hopefully before the start of tomorrow. Sounds like a plan, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Здрасти! Липсата на постове през уикенда се дължеше на остър дефицит на интернет. Така че съм съгласна с всички, които изтъкнаха, че замъкът има нужда от непрекъснат достъп до световната мрежа по всяко време. И така, сега ще са Петте неща, после трябва да прочета нещо жабешко по физиология, а след това да постна резултатите от IHSW, по възможност преди да е станало утре. Звучи като план, мдам?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The Great Escape&lt;br /&gt;The first part of the new SAL from the Stitch Specialists is out! And it has owls! I decided I'm going to breed a new pink and purple owl for this project, but I heard some people might do the... TRANSFORMER OWL!  If you haven't heard about it, godm where have you been?! This is one of the most awesome things ever that initially triggered my owl love. I'm not sure if I haven't posted it already, but there are never too many owls:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DJrupqPqKYo" allowfullscreen="" width="420" frameborder="0" height="315"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Голямото бягство&lt;br /&gt;Така се казва новият САЛ на The Stitch Specialists, чиято първа част излезе тази седмица. Включва СОВА! Аз смятам да създам нов вид розово-лилави сови, но подочух, че някои замислят да пресъздадат ТРАНСФОРМИРАЩАТА СОВА! Ако не сте я виждали вече, не знам къде сте били. Това е едно от най-яките неща изобщо, и в голяма степен на него се дължи зараждането на совешката ми любов. Може вече да съм поствала това клипче, но една сова повече никога не е излишна.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Reading rather boringly written, predictable love  (soap )novel...&lt;br /&gt;can sometimes be refreshing. And they live happily ever after. Phew, you got me worried for a second there&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Не особено интересно написана сапунена история&lt;br /&gt;понякога може да действа освежаващо. И накрая те заживели щастливо. Фю, добре че, за момент се притесних&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3Choosing stuff for the SS exchange&lt;br /&gt;I bought fabric and today I set on a pattern for the card, I plan to alter the colorway to suit the fav colours of my partner.  I plan to start work the day after tomorrow and finish as much as possible in these 4 rest days (national holidays) as possible :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 Нещица за размяната на SS&lt;br /&gt;Взех плата, а днес вече си избрах и схема за картичката за размяната по случай годишнината на SS Смятам малко да изменя цветовете, за да съвпадат с любимите на човека, на който ми се падна да пращам. Надявам се да мога да почна в четвъртък и да свърша колкото е възможно повече през почивните дни.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. My favourite book reviews place&lt;br /&gt;is &lt;a href="http://www.knigolandia.info/"&gt;Knigolandia&lt;/a&gt;. It's in bulgarian. I really enjoy reading all the reviews there, even on books I'm never going to read, because they're just not my type. I picked a number of titles from there that I want to check, including Warm bodies that I read this summer and absolutely loved. It even made me want to read IT for a minute there, but I gave up on the idea for now&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 Любимото ми местенце за ревюта на книжки&lt;br /&gt;е &lt;a href="http://www.knigolandia.info/"&gt;Книголандия&lt;/a&gt;. С голямо удоволствие чета всички ревюта, дори и на книгите, които никога няма да прочета, защото не са мой тип. Оттам съм си харесала доста заглавия, включително и "Топли тела" , което прочетох лятото и много харесах. За минута даже у мен се породи желанието да прочета ТО, но бързо отшумя&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5Chaperone proteins&lt;br /&gt;This last week I was reminded how cool are they. As the real chaperones supervises young ladies and the proteins by the same name  assist the  folding or unfolding and the assembly or disassembly of other structures, I just CAN'T HELP but imagine the Young Lady Protein (wearing a pink dress and lace umbrella) followed everywhere by her Chaperon; and on the ball the mean sir Protease tries to decieve her, but in the end the lady meets sir  Cofactor with the help of the Chaperon, he defended her and they lived happily ever after.&lt;br /&gt;What, it's not bad having some imagination.&lt;br /&gt;Sir Cofactor has a pretty hat with plume&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 Шаперони&lt;br /&gt;Тази седмица ми припомниха защо частта за шапероните беше една от любимите ми теми в биохимията. По принцип шапероните са възрастни дами, които имат за задача да следят за поведението на младите неомъжени дами в обществото. Протеините със същото име пък спомагат за нагъването и разгъването на полипептидната верига и образуването на белтъците. Така че, просто нямаше как да не си представя младата  госпожица Протеин (с розова рокля и дантелено чадърче) следвана навсякъде от своята шаперонка; а докато госпожицата се опитва да се измъкне на бала, лукавият сър Протеаза се опитва да я измами, но! Шаперонката навреме успява да повика сър Кофактор, който съумява да я защити и накрая заживели щастливо.&lt;br /&gt;Какво, не е лошо човек да проявавя от време на време малко въображение&lt;br /&gt;Сър Кофактор има хубава шапка с пухкави пера.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And before calling it a post(and not calling it a day, because I am supposed to have one more posy, right) I want to say hi to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://mylittlestitchingblog.blogspot.com/"&gt;Shannon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and &lt;a href="http://trezzasharafagency.blogspot.com/"&gt;Adam&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Здрастита на гореизброените :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And following the example of Anne and Joysze, I wanted to point how you can make your blog visible and let people check and follow your own blog too.&lt;br /&gt;So Click on your Edit Profile , click Select blogs to display button and make sure you blog is added.&lt;br /&gt;:) Now I should be able to stalk you back!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; И следвайки примира на Ан и Джойзе, исках да напомня как да се подсигури човек, че блогът му е видим за потенциални сталкъри :D&lt;br /&gt;Така че от Edit Profile -&amp;gt; Select blogs to display -&amp;gt; и се уверете, че вашият блог е отбелязан :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-6801013260789832592?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/6801013260789832592/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=6801013260789832592' title='2 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/6801013260789832592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/6801013260789832592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/09/5-things.html' title='5 things!'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/DJrupqPqKYo/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-6917223462473924997</id><published>2011-09-12T12:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T14:45:01.327-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='5 Things Sunday'/><title type='text'>5 things Sunday!</title><content type='html'>In a world where Sundays come a day later&lt;br /&gt;Meme from &lt;a href="http://coffee-craft.blogspot.com/"&gt;Coffee and Craft&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~&lt;br /&gt;5 неделни неща... в свят, в който неделята пристига по-късно&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Buying school stuff&lt;br /&gt;Well one of the good sides of starting school again, is that it's a perfect excuse for shopping. It's not like before, of course, like in middle school, or even high school. Just shopping for clothes and pickinga purse big enough for the anatomy atlas. While shopping for this very bag today, I accidentaly bought a couple of books, American Gods and The Familiars. Oops!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~&lt;br /&gt;1 Пазаруване за училище.„Във всеки случай, началото на учебната година винаги е чудесен повод за шопинг. Е , вече не е както в средното училище, или даже в гимназията. Сега си е най-вече пазаруване на дрехи и избиране на чанта, достатъчно голяма да събере атласа по анатомия. Докато търсех същата тази чанта, случайно се сдобих и с две книжки- Американски богове и Фамилиарите. Упс ;P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2Ceremonies for the beginning of the new semester&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Церемонии по откриването&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3Rereading all of my HP stuff&lt;br /&gt;While rewatching the movie before finally watching the last one, I also reread the books. This weekend I finished Quidditch through the ages (did I get the spelling right? Too lazy to check) and Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. I especially love Harry and Ron's notes of the Beasts, my fav one must be Dungbombs rule XD If some HP fan has yet to read those two books, he should hurry up, for they're such an adorable addition to the HP world, especially now when there are are no more books or movies to wait for. What's left for my rereading now is the Tales of Beedle the bard. By the way, does any of you knows anything of &lt;a href="http://www.shelfari.com/books/22858455/Harry-Potter-The-Prequel"&gt;The Prequel&lt;/a&gt; ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 Препрочитане на всичко що е ХП&lt;br /&gt;Освен че прегледах всички филми в очакване на последния, тази година направих обстоен преглед и на ХП книгите. Този уикенд завърших История на куидича и Фантастични зверове и къде да ги открием. Последната се отличава с доста забавните коментари на Хари и Рон по страниците. Така че ако някой Хари Потър фен не е прочел тези книжки, съветвам го да навакса пропуска, защото те са наистина очарователно допълнение, особено сега, когато няма други филми и книги, които да очакваме.  За препрочитане ми остана само Приказките на барда Бийдъл. А някой между другото да е чувал за &lt;a href="http://www.shelfari.com/books/22858455/Harry-Potter-The-Prequel"&gt;Предисторията &lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 Hugh Laurie evolution&lt;br /&gt;Just this morning I finished his book The Gun Seller, which was pretty funnym but just helicopters, bombs and guns aren't my thing, so it got 3 stars of 5 meaning I liked it. But he's album is really really good. What is more interesting anyway, is this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dBaVIctNUBA/Tm5msvUp0WI/AAAAAAAABHk/vZbJSOZDbXE/s1600/Bertie%2BWooster%2Bdonning%2Bthe%2Bkeffiyeh.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dBaVIctNUBA/Tm5msvUp0WI/AAAAAAAABHk/vZbJSOZDbXE/s400/Bertie%2BWooster%2Bdonning%2Bthe%2Bkeffiyeh.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651567501199921506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Bertie turns into..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l3omxeV0Glo/Tm5mso6TVkI/AAAAAAAABHs/GJxxHSwxNo0/s1600/dr.house8.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 350px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l3omxeV0Glo/Tm5mso6TVkI/AAAAAAAABHs/GJxxHSwxNo0/s400/dr.house8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651567499478783554" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;..and House into..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ngpkN8cwHYQ/Tm5msxIoxqI/AAAAAAAABH0/ZHDVdnbVgJI/s1600/2011_hop_019.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ngpkN8cwHYQ/Tm5msxIoxqI/AAAAAAAABH0/ZHDVdnbVgJI/s400/2011_hop_019.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651567501686392482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;the Easter bunny!  And I think Chase turned into a chick&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Еволюцията на Хю Лори&lt;br /&gt;Този актьор си го харесвам отдавна, а днес свърших книгата му, Търговецът на оръжие. Беше си забавна, но все пак хеликоптери, снайпери и ракети земя-въздух и каквито там други елементи, не са точно по моята част, затова томчето получи три звездички като "хареса ми" за оценка. Но албумън му одобрявам изцяло. Но по-интересна определено е трансформацията му от Бърти Устър, през Хаус до Великденския Заек. А освен това мисля, че Чейс е едно от пиленцата. Онова в долния десен ъгъл&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. My castle&lt;br /&gt;ok, you all know about Pinterest. I think it's pretty awesome, although I don't use it very often. But I have one more active board that I want to show you - &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/topcho/my-castle/"&gt;My castle&lt;/a&gt;! My best friend and I once talked how awesome it would be, if someone was to give us a whole library as a present, as the Beast did for Belle. Then we decided we want the whole castle, Beast and all magical stuff included! She wanted some swans, and I put in a delivery owl. We both decided on a chocolate room and on some unicorns. I mean, what castle would it be without unicorns. And so we're putting in all the stuff our hearts might desire. But I tend to forget all the good ideas when I sit in forn of the computer. Last thing we talked was abou adding a pool, but I think I'm missing something. Any ideas? Or what would you put in your castle?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 Моят замък&lt;br /&gt;Предполагам много от вас вече знаят за Пинтерест.  На мен много ми харесва като идея, но твърде рядко се сещам да го ползвам. Но имам едно табло, което искам да ви покажа - &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/topcho/my-castle/"&gt;Моят замък.   &lt;/a&gt;Всичко тръгна от това как с най-добрата ми приятелка си говорихме колко е хубаво да ти подарят библиотека, както Звяра направи за Бел. След това решихме, че като искаме библиотеката, да вземем направо целия замък, че и със звяра и посудата в комплект. А после добавяхме всичко, което ни се прииска. Тя поиска лебеди в езерцето, аз добавих сова за доставки. И двете се съгласихме, че трябва да има шоколадова стая и еднорози. Че как без еднорози? Но твърде често хубавите идеи се изпаряват, докато седна на компютъра. ПОследно щях да добавям басейн, а и май люлки също. Идеи? А вие какво ще сложите във вашия замък?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-6917223462473924997?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/6917223462473924997/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=6917223462473924997' title='5 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/6917223462473924997'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/6917223462473924997'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/09/5-things-sunday.html' title='5 things Sunday!'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dBaVIctNUBA/Tm5msvUp0WI/AAAAAAAABHk/vZbJSOZDbXE/s72-c/Bertie%2BWooster%2Bdonning%2Bthe%2Bkeffiyeh.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-2527467763705454327</id><published>2011-09-10T15:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-10T16:09:18.606-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='craft exchange'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animanga'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='haedstitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal pattern'/><title type='text'>Mr Anime hair is finished</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q7X6b6f-xEQ/TmvpHHMS5aI/AAAAAAAABHc/xKoMHKK3ARw/s1600/images.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I just finished this lad here! I thought that after getting the hair done, it would be just a matter of day's work to finish it. Sadly, I had forgotten how many colours I neede for the face. Loots of confetti. But the skin conftti somehow seemed easier than the hair. Still annoying but easier. I think the face turned quite well, so I'm not sorry at all for keeping lots of the skin colours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9YdiJAOqwNk/Tmvh-NbBTcI/AAAAAAAABHU/dnAljovDm1c/s1600/shi%2Bhai%2Bfin.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 393px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9YdiJAOqwNk/Tmvh-NbBTcI/AAAAAAAABHU/dnAljovDm1c/s400/shi%2Bhai%2Bfin.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650858616337550786" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И така, преди малко го завърших. Мислех си, че след като косата е готова, другото ще бъде ден работа, но не взех предвид колко много нюанса имаше на лицето. Много много конфети, но те незнайно защо не бяха толкова досадни като тези на косата. НЕ съжалявам обаче, че ги оставих толкова много, финалният резултат много ми харесва.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from this, most of my free time went to winding up bobbins with  the colours for the fairy (while watching TNG. Btw I just watched the  episode with the Cyrano performance! lol! I think data would have done a  better job XD)  I know I'm supposed to show some progress on her, but with the new school year starting at Monday ( sigh and sob), I don't know when this is going to happen. I'm planning to take her to Varna, along with the project for the card for the SS exchange.  Soon I should know who I'm sending to. Can't wait! I still haven't picked a project, even though I have a few in mind, but I want to see the colour prefernces; and I might take the Tree as well. I need to catch up with the Tree, because I got a little distracted with ... my TUSAL  and I'm so cheap project! I haven't forgotten it!&lt;br /&gt;Anyway I was talking about the Fairy. I can just give you the info, that I started it on a Very Boring 22 ct Evenwave, because at that time I had only 22 and 30 at home and I felt I was too young to die and so I didn't picked the 30. I can also show a picture of the Fairy, for everyone who doesn't know how she looks like. I've been in kind of Steam punk mood recently, and right know I hope that the sequel of Clockwork Angel will come up soon. But here's the fairy, retty, no?:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q7X6b6f-xEQ/TmvpHHMS5aI/AAAAAAAABHc/xKoMHKK3ARw/s1600/images.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 190px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q7X6b6f-xEQ/TmvpHHMS5aI/AAAAAAAABHc/xKoMHKK3ARw/s400/images.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650866465865393570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Останалото свободно време беше в голямата си част посветено на изрязване на картончета и навиване на конците за ФЕята на тях. Знам, че би трябвало да покажа малко прогрес, вместо само да приказвам, но с новата учебна година, започваща в понеделник, не знам кога ще се наканя. Смятам да взема със себе си във Варна Феята, проектът, който ще е за размяната от SS - скоро трябва да стане ясно на кого ще пращам, нямам търпение вече :D Още не съм избрала какво точно ще работя, макар че имам някои идеи, реших първо да изчакам да видя кои цветове са посочени като любими. А може и да взема и Дървото. Малко изоставам с него, защото се разсеях с TUSAL + I'm so cheap проекта ми XD Не съм го забравила!&lt;br /&gt;Но всъщност приказвах за стийм пънк . Сега съм на стийм пънк вълна, също подпомогната от "Ангел с часовников механизъм", чието продължение се надявам да излезе скоро. Иначе за феята мога само да ви издам, че е на Много Скучен 22 Каунт, защото трябваше тогава да избирам между 22 и 30, а 30 ми изглеждаше като смъртна присъда, пък рано ми е още. Засега ще ви оставя да се порадвате на картинката на феята, която някой ден, евентуално, ще бъде пресъздадена с кончета :D Иначе, пожелайте ми късмет с новия семестър, докато аз поздравявам новите читатели с линкчетата по- долу :))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, please wish me luck with the new semester, while I'm welcoming&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://octoberlace.wordpress.com"&gt;October Lace&lt;/a&gt; (such a cool and pretty name! &amp;lt;3)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://reveriesofacrafter.blogspot.com/"&gt;Reveries of a crafter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And &lt;a href="http://crochetstashroom.blogspot.com/"&gt;Miranda&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome and thank you!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-2527467763705454327?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/2527467763705454327/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=2527467763705454327' title='10 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/2527467763705454327'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/2527467763705454327'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/09/mr-anime-hair-is-finished.html' title='Mr Anime hair is finished'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9YdiJAOqwNk/Tmvh-NbBTcI/AAAAAAAABHU/dnAljovDm1c/s72-c/shi%2Bhai%2Bfin.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-2441416263991418757</id><published>2011-09-06T14:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-06T15:54:13.416-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='5 Things Sunday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animals'/><title type='text'>5 things that were supposed to be on Sunday!</title><content type='html'>I told you I was going to be late with this, but anyway! Here are my things, and the meme is from &lt;a href="http://coffee-craft.blogspot.com/"&gt;Coffee and Craft&lt;/a&gt; blog!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The llama slug!&lt;br /&gt;I promised you llamas, right? And just for the record, I liked llamas even before DA! They're so fluffy! This one was really awesome and very polite, it came to us and let us touch its ears and caress it - really fluffly!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CdPwMjiBv6E/TmaYVZ1AyyI/AAAAAAAABG0/G8-dCF3ahxA/s1600/CIMG1336.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CdPwMjiBv6E/TmaYVZ1AyyI/AAAAAAAABG0/G8-dCF3ahxA/s400/CIMG1336.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649370276060777250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.Лами!&lt;br /&gt;Обещаното си е обещано - лами! Само за отчета - аз си харесвах ламите дори и преди Deviantart! Те са си просто готини, и меки също. А тази дойде при нас до оградата и даваше да я пипаме и да я галим - наистина беше много мекичка!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Green stuff&lt;br /&gt;OMG so much green.. Makes me feel like Jane from Tarzan or something&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CFnadRgyThU/TmaaeHsdvnI/AAAAAAAABG8/NzwMNIfhOBo/s1600/CIMG1276.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CFnadRgyThU/TmaaeHsdvnI/AAAAAAAABG8/NzwMNIfhOBo/s400/CIMG1276.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649372624835165810" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;2. Зелено&lt;br /&gt;ОМГр толкова много зелено, кара ме да си мисля за Джейн и Тарзан&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. My first HAED!&lt;br /&gt;I finally started it this last week! It's the Steam Punk Fairy. It was quite hard to choose one, but my sister voted for the fairy.  I was able to put a few hundred stitches, but I'm not sure when I'll update you with a picture. But I'm gonna put anouther counter next to the fishy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Моят първи ХАЕД&lt;br /&gt;След толкова канене предната седмица най-накрая започнах първия си Хаед. Моделът е Стийм Пънк Фея. Засега успях да направя няколкостотин бода, но не знам кога ще приложа и снимка. Във всеки случай обаче трябва да сложа нов брояч до рибката!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Skirts and Dresses&lt;br /&gt;Especially those that don't need ironing, you just jump in them and you're ready to go. Ahh, one of the reasons summer is good. Of course winter skirts are ok too, but summer ones are still so much better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 Летни рокли и поли&lt;br /&gt;Особено тези, които няма нужда да гладиш, а можеш просто да скочиш в тях и си готов за излизане. Една от причините да харесвам лятото. И зимните поли си имат своята прелест, но не могат да се мерят с летните&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 Ostriches.&lt;br /&gt;They're not as awesome as llamas, but I still thought they deserve an honorable mention. They're scarier with a hint of evil genius. Seeing them together with llamas makes me think of Izma and Kusko. But they didn't seem to mind eachother. The yards for the llamas, the ostriches and the deers were connected and the llamas were visiting the ostriches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4lAiRPUdn3w/TmaeFtoEo4I/AAAAAAAABHE/rf98gNXoXHQ/s1600/CIMG1347.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4lAiRPUdn3w/TmaeFtoEo4I/AAAAAAAABHE/rf98gNXoXHQ/s400/CIMG1347.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649376603567072130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2K6ToMLp1wU/TmaeGH4woNI/AAAAAAAABHM/4M4Z7peqRi0/s1600/CIMG1342.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2K6ToMLp1wU/TmaeGH4woNI/AAAAAAAABHM/4M4Z7peqRi0/s400/CIMG1342.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649376610616385746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 Щрауси&lt;br /&gt;Не са толкова страхотни като ламите, но реших, че заслужават почетно упоменаване. Те изглеждат по-заплашителни, с намек за зъл гений. Като ги гледам заедно с ламите , и си мисля за Изма и Куско. Клетките/полянките на щраусите, ламите и елените бяха свързани, и ламите гостуваха на щраусите. Като че ли се харесваха. Елените пък изглежда не работаха по въпроса на медусъседските отношения.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And in the end - hellos to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://memybubbleandmystitching.blogspot.com/"&gt;Claudia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://heather-rainbowkitties.blogspot.com/"&gt;Heather&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://rosey175.blogspot.com"&gt;Rosey&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://amberquilt.blogspot.com/"&gt;Krystaline&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-2441416263991418757?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/2441416263991418757/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=2441416263991418757' title='6 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/2441416263991418757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/2441416263991418757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/09/5-things-that-were-supposed-to-be-on.html' title='5 things that were supposed to be on Sunday!'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CdPwMjiBv6E/TmaYVZ1AyyI/AAAAAAAABG0/G8-dCF3ahxA/s72-c/CIMG1336.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-8316185636978680249</id><published>2011-09-01T15:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-01T15:31:11.815-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wip'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animanga'/><title type='text'>This is going to be a short one</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wMDty3xeUrc/TmAHIMz9eqI/AAAAAAAABGs/S6y7ucGhcYU/s1600/shi%2Bhai.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A short post, it is. Aaah, I was hoping to finish filling the hair, but couldn't make it. But tomorrow I'm going to something like mini trip, and I won't have internet access over the weekend and the beginning of the next week, so I thought about posting something. And that means that my Sunday things won't be on Sunday, sigh T___T But if I'm lucky, there might be some llamas.

Well, part 3 is french knots... and mind you, I didn't run away from them. It's just a strategic reteat. I followed Abi's advice to leave them for later and go on with the next patrs.&lt;br /&gt;I want to thank you all who gave me an opinion about the colour way of my rice stitches! It seems that most people liked the last option best so I used it in my stitch. During those two parts, I had many chances to find out for myself how forgiving linen is. I had to frod the eyelets once (misplaced the start) and two times the rice stitch (first time to remove my first start with the colourway I didn't like, and the second time because I misplaced again). And this really is the most kind hearted and forgiving fabric in the world!&lt;br /&gt;Now I've finished the 6th part, but I'll wait to get one more done before  bothering you with update again.&lt;br /&gt;And something I forgot to make yesterday - shame on me! - to say hello to &lt;a href="http://bythebayneedleart.blogspot.com/"&gt;Donna&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Tree of Stitches&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Stitch Specialist SAL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Design by Abi Gurden&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MGtfzgCApwM/Tlv8WfMiEII/AAAAAAAABGk/Gq3XtEWhMk4/s1600/tree4-5.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 382px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MGtfzgCApwM/Tlv8WfMiEII/AAAAAAAABGk/Gq3XtEWhMk4/s400/tree4-5.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646384021100433538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ето ги и части 4 и 5 от моето дърво. А къде е трета част, може да се запита някой. Ами, третата част се състои от френски възли. Сега, да не помислите,  че бягам от тях. Не, това е само стратегическо отстъпление. Даже и отстъпление не е, а всъщност напредвам назад.&lt;br /&gt;Последвах съвета на Аби да пропусна засега тази част и да се върна към нея по-късно.&lt;br /&gt;Благодаря на всички, които  споделиха кой от вариантите им харесва най-много. Най-много гласове събра последния,  него и използвах за клончето си. Докато работех върху тези части, имах възможност от първа ръка да се убедя колко лесно опрощава греховете ленът. Четвъртата част я преправях веднъж (защото поставих грешно първите бодове) , а петата - два път (първия път махах бодовете с цветовете, които не ми бяха харесали, а втория път пак бях поставила грешно начало и то ми разваляше броенето).&lt;br /&gt;Тази вечер завърших и шестата част, но ще изчакам да направя още една преди следващия ъпдейт.&lt;br /&gt;И нещо, което изпуснах да направя вчера - срам ме е, признавам си - да кажа здрасти на &lt;a href="http://bythebayneedleart.blogspot.com/"&gt;Donna &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-5673756760839888989?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/5673756760839888989/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=5673756760839888989' title='7 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/5673756760839888989'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/5673756760839888989'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/08/tree-of-stitches-parts-4-and-5.html' title='Tree of Stitches parts 4 and 5'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MGtfzgCApwM/Tlv8WfMiEII/AAAAAAAABGk/Gq3XtEWhMk4/s72-c/tree4-5.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-3308403805184333501</id><published>2011-08-28T13:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-28T16:36:34.285-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='5 Things Sunday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='craft exchange'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='books'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SAL'/><title type='text'>5 Things Sunday!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://thelunacafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Diced-white-chocolate.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A meme from&lt;a href="http://coffee-craft.blogspot.com/"&gt; Coffee and Craft&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although this week kinda lacked any kind of excitement, let's see what we have here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. Kenneth Branagh in Shakespeare plays&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The movies are gorgeous, just so beautifully made. I recently told you about Much ado about nothing and Love's Labour's lost (did I) and I was lucky enough to spot Othelo in the TV program, so no need to search for it. I have to say I wasn't a big Shakespeare fan before, and I only read the comedies and those that were in the school program, but now I definitelly am going to read some of the rest. I still prefer the comedies though, and just as before, Much ado is my all time favourite of his. I'm in love with the song, all the versions of it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mX7__Wpej8k" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Кенет Брана във филми по Шекспир&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Всичките са толкова хубаво направени, че просто на човек не им остава друго, освен да им се наслаждава. Наскоро бях споменала Много шум за нищо и Напразните усилия на любовта (нали?) а ето че и открих Отело в програмата на телевизията. Признавам си, че преди не бях голям фен на Шекспир и по своя воля съм чела само някои комедии, освен нещата задължителни за училище. Сега обаче смятам да прегледам и някои от останалите. Все пак обаче комедиите си ги харесвам повече, а Многото шум си ми остава любим от тях.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2Neil Gaiman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems I'll have to add him to my list of beloved authors. And not only his books are awesome, the movies made after them are too. You know Caroline, and probably Stardust, and I found this week that  there were a mini series for Neverwhere! I just finishes watching it, and I loved it. It follows the book exactly which makes me very happy, as the book is too good to change anything in it. And Richard is adorable. I love the way he speaks. And I must add, that Gaiman creates one of the scariesr villains. Mr Croup and Mr Vandemar.... T______T way too scary! The series is from 1996 and my sister was amazed how old it is. Well, while I was watching TNG, she was amazed that it had colours, and teriffied from the lack of special effects&lt;br /&gt;So if you happen to feel like watching a mini 6 episode series, I strongly recommend Neverwhere&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2 Нийл Геймън&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Май че ще трябва да го включо в списъка с любими автори. И не само книгите му са страхотни, а и филмите по тях също. Няма начин да не сте чували за Коралайн, сигурно и за Звезден прах, а наскоро открих, че има мини сериал по Neverwhere (Никъде, никога, никой - не задължително в този порядък е българското заглавие, но книгата е много далече, за да проверя) Току що го свърших и беше страхотен. Следва неотлъчно книгата, което е чудесно, защото тя е твърде хубава, за да се променя каквото и да било. А и главният герой е сладурче, и говори с очарователен акцент, толкова очарователен всъщност, че на някои места не мога да се размина без субтитри. Но наистина много сладко говори. А да добавя, че Геймън създава и едни от най-плашещите злодеи. Господата Круп и Вандемар водят класацията. Сериалът е от 1996 и сестра ми беше удивена колко е стар. E, тя беше удивена и че Стар Трек е цветен, а също така потресена от нивото на специалните ефекти. Иначе Neverwhere го препоръчвам горещо&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3Lihdt white chocolate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the reasons words like delicious were invented&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thelunacafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Diced-white-chocolate.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 490px; height: 346px;" src="http://thelunacafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Diced-white-chocolate.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3 Бял шоколад Линдт&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Една от причините да съществуват думи като вкусно и всички останали суперлативи,  до които можеш да прибегнеш. Ако, естествено, устата ти не е твърде пълна с шоколад за да говориш&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4 Autan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is kind of insect repellent, anti-mosquito if we have to be exact. You remember Lilo and Stitch? When they stated that the only reason Earth existes id to breed mosquitos? Well those aliens must be having a damn good care of those little buggers, because form year to year they're getting bigger and nastier. And, apparently, I'm one of their favourite meals. I don't know what's wrong with my blood or DNA, cause they don't seem to like anyone else in the house. Now, nit that Autan makes them desert the houe at once screaming for mercy, but at least I'mn ot waking at nights because a horde of mosquitos is feasting on me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4 Аутан&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Онзи репелент против комари. Не че му правя специално реклама или нещо. Помните ли онази част от Лило и Стич, когато накрая Земята се отърва от разрушаване, защото е природен резерват за комари? Е, изглежда през последните години извънземните са почнали много хубаво да се грижат за тях, защото от година на година стават все по-големи и по-гадни. И изглежда аз съм им любимото ястие. Сигурна съм, че даже си канят гости от чужбина да споделят специалитета. Не знам какво не ми е наред с кръвта или ДНК-то, защото не обръщат внимание на никоой друг в къщата.  Сега, не е като аутанът да ги кара да напускат апартамента с писъци (то това и Райт не го може) но поне не се будя нощем, защото орда комари замезват на мой гръб, повече или по малко буквално.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5SALs, exchanges and all kinds of blogging and stitching community stuff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I joined the card exchange on&lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheStitchSpecialists/"&gt; The Stitch Specialists&lt;/a&gt; for the first birthday of the group, and I'm so excited about it! Up till knw, I've only done privite exchanges, but never something like this, so I can't wait! I hope everything will be good, in any case, if my pen pal lives overseas, I'll senf my package at least a month early, to nake sure it will arrive on time! Lol the joys of international shipping! XD&lt;br /&gt;I also want to join the &lt;a href="http://measi.net/measiblog/2011/08/28/4814/"&gt;Wipocalypse SAL&lt;/a&gt;. I was interested in joining something like this even last year, but I thought it was pretty impossible for me to start 15 new projects for the Crazt challenge, nor I have so many wips for that ither similar challlenge. I like the rules of this one, because it gives lots of freedom.  Hih, but now I have an evil plan - I'll make a bunch of starts till the end of the year, to include them! MWAHAHAHA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5САЛ-ове, обмени и други подобни неща&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Включих се в обмяната на бродирани картички по случай първия рожден ден на The Stitch Specialists, и много се вълнувам за това. За пръ път ще участвам в такава размяна, досега съм правила няколко само, и то лични. Във всеки случай, ако ще пращам до Щатите, ще пусна пакета месец предварително, за да съм сигурна, че ще пристигне навреме. Вече знам всички радости на пощенското обслужване.&lt;br /&gt;Също така се включвам и в Уипокалипс САЛ (wip - work in progress - проект, върху който се работи в момента, и SAL - stitch-a-long - да шием заедно) От миналата година ми се искаше да се включа в нещо подобно, но Лудото януарско предизвикателство ми се стори тогава твърде непостижимо. Правилата на Уипокалипсиса са по-либерални. Сега съм намислила зъл план - да почна сума ти неща преди края на годината, които после да включа в списъка на уипокалипсиса.

I even think now it's pretty cute, especially when it's falling asleep, and that it's definitely awesome. This project was my first try with soluble canvas, and I'm happy with the result. Now I have the idea of making a matching t-shirt with the moon for my sister, but this is still uncertain. The moon is seriously creeping me out, every time I see it, I think of all kind of teeth and gum deseases, I mean, it's mouth is bleeding all the time, what if in the end some tooth falls from the mouth, like some kind of asteroid or something? That's how the Dinos died.  Creepy, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И така, ето го най-накрая завършеното Слънце от анимето Soul Eater. Схемата за него е от сайта на Dawn &lt;a href="http://crossstitchanime.110mb.com/WebPageOpening.html"&gt;Anime Stitching&lt;/a&gt; , който като цяло е едно страхотно място за намиране на аниме схеми от всякакъв род.&lt;br /&gt;Първите няколко епизода Слънцето ми изглеждаше малко страшничко, но после си му свикнах, и сега съм даже на мнение, че е доста сладко, когато по залез заспива. За него за пръв път използвах разтворима канава, и съм доволна от резултата. Сега имам план да направя за сестра си подобна тениска, само че с &lt;a href="http://www.souleaterwallpaper.com/images/wallpapers/Soul-Eater-Moon-925584.jpeg"&gt;Луната&lt;/a&gt;. Това обаче си остава само намерение. Луната твърде сериозно ме депресира, всеки път като я дадат в кадър, и започвам да мисля за какви ли не стоматологични проблеми, ами че венците и кървят през цялото време, какво ще стане ако някой зъб накрая вземе да и падне, като някакъв метеорит? Ето така са загинали динозаврите. Страшничко, а?&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;So this is a close up of the Sun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L95A4iuRrHw/TlV7b1d6rvI/AAAAAAAABGM/BxYJ9f_DiEw/s1600/suni.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 350px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L95A4iuRrHw/TlV7b1d6rvI/AAAAAAAABGM/BxYJ9f_DiEw/s400/suni.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644553426118029042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Слънчо отблизо&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;Full view of the t-shirt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oWhU4SC9XMo/TlV7yLyXa3I/AAAAAAAABGU/LtJigcB3L9Q/s1600/CIMG1239.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 364px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oWhU4SC9XMo/TlV7yLyXa3I/AAAAAAAABGU/LtJigcB3L9Q/s400/CIMG1239.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644553810066500466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Тениската като цяло&lt;br /&gt;~~&lt;br /&gt;And now I have a question for you, regarding my Tree. Now I'm doing the Rice Stitch section. But I can't choose the colours fot the stitch. So I'm asking for your opinion: which one do you like better? First one is the monochrome, I don't really like it, because it looks to much like a block of cross stitches, despite the fact that it does have more dimenshion. Second is the combo of the darker pink with Kreinik 4. Scans dont do justice to sparkle threads but many of it know how this Kreinik looks like in real life. I thought it may look nice, and this is what I first started, but I'm not that sure now. The bottom two variations are the 2 different options between the two pinks I decided to use for my tree. So, what do you think? by the way this is not the fabric I'm stitching the tree on, just a spare piece of evenwave, because I didn't feel like cutting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3BqR2ZbaZUg/TlV8Ksb4pVI/AAAAAAAABGc/etMFuY6RtiE/s1600/stit4i.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3BqR2ZbaZUg/TlV8Ksb4pVI/AAAAAAAABGc/etMFuY6RtiE/s400/stit4i.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644554231147439442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;А сега имам въпрос за вас относно &lt;a href="http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/08/tree-of-stitches-parts-1-and-2.html"&gt;Дървото&lt;/a&gt;. Сега правя частта с един  Оризов бод (не знам как трябва да се преведе на български, така че карам буквално), обаче нещо не мога да му избера цветове.  Така че ще прибегна до вашето мнение. Горе са вариантите... първи е едноцветният, който обаче много не ми харесва, защото твърде много ми прилича на четири кръстчета (търсеният ефект е голямо кръстче със защипани крачета), въпреки че това е малко по-обемно от обикновена кръстата купчинка. Вторият е с металик Крейник 4 вътре, скенерите никога не се спогаждат добре с металици, но е бял конец с розови, зеленикави и синкави отблясъци. Отначало почнах тага до правя, но нещо не ми харесва резултатът. И накрая са двете възможни комбинации между розовите, които използвам за короната на Дървото. Кой вариант ви харесва най-много?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;And in the end of this post, I have to say hello to 4 more followers - &lt;a href="http://tikistitches.blogspot.com/"&gt;Tiki&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://juliesandyesdearsravings.blogspot.com/"&gt;Julie&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://takingonestitchatatime.blogspot.com/"&gt;Carolyn &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://craftyimaginingsbyjen.blogspot.com/"&gt;Jennifer&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;И преди края на поста, отново е време за "здрастита" -&lt;a href="http://tikistitches.blogspot.com/"&gt;Tiki&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://juliesandyesdearsravings.blogspot.com/"&gt;Julie&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://takingonestitchatatime.blogspot.com/"&gt;Carolyn&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://craftyimaginingsbyjen.blogspot.com/"&gt;Jennifer &lt;/a&gt;-  влиянието на IHSW изглежда още се усеща! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-6219629548306032820?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/6219629548306032820/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=6219629548306032820' title='11 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/6219629548306032820'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/6219629548306032820'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/08/sun-is-shining-merrily-and-tiny-tree.html' title='The sun is shining merrily and a tiny tree question'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L95A4iuRrHw/TlV7b1d6rvI/AAAAAAAABGM/BxYJ9f_DiEw/s72-c/suni.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-4429192630469331468</id><published>2011-08-23T14:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-23T14:58:03.179-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animanga'/><title type='text'>Here comes the mighty hair</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZdfcKLpYIhs/TlQcbttOSRI/AAAAAAAABGE/BZpvZddNdC4/s1600/shiki.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because what's an anime character without his crazy, weird coloured, max volumed, anti gravity hair? What we have here is still pretty ordinary for anime standarts, and it's just dark haired guy, again on the normal side.&lt;br /&gt;In short, I finished outlining the hair, woohoo! From the start, the Shiki project took almost one full skein of black (the rest went to the Soul Eater sun). Now I have the moral rights to continue with the colours, yay! While doing the pattern, I was able to go down to 21 colours. With black and those few red stitches in his eyes, now 19 left, way to go. I, however, plan to take a short break on this and continue with my Tree of Stitches. And if I get over my laziness, tomorrow this blog shall have a picture of my finished Soul Eater Sun t-shirt. Btw I finished Soul Eater today, and the last episode was kinda annoying. Sigh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now, before showing you the picture, I want to thank everyone who stopped by during this months IHSW! And Special thanks to new followers &lt;a href="http://citystitching.blogspot.com/"&gt;Hannah&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://lowfrequencytherapy.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kid Shuffle&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ducky-kate.blogspot.com/"&gt;Ducky &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://rahenna.blogspot.com/"&gt;Rahenna&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZdfcKLpYIhs/TlQcbttOSRI/AAAAAAAABGE/BZpvZddNdC4/s1600/shiki.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 378px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZdfcKLpYIhs/TlQcbttOSRI/AAAAAAAABGE/BZpvZddNdC4/s400/shiki.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644167495453395218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Какво биха били аниметата, ако героите им не бяха горди притежатели на буйни, странно оцветени, неподчиняващи се на гравитацията коси? Този субект тук обаче притежава доста обикновени, да не кажем скучни, черти по стандартните аниме критерии. Накратко - с очертаването на косата свърших всичкото черно по Шики! Отне ми почти цяло чиле черно (останалото отиде на Слънцето) Сега имам моралното право да се захвана с другите цветове, макар че смятам засега да не се възползвам от него. Докато работех схемата, свих палитрата до 21 цвята, минус черното и червеното, което се изчерпва с общо шест бода за блясък в очите, остава 19. На прав път сме.&lt;br /&gt;Сега смятам да пренасоча вниманието си към Дървото. А ако утре победя мързела си, блогът ще се сдобие и със снимки на тениската със Soul Eater слънцето.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И преди да пожелая лека нощ (или добро утро) искам да благодаря на всички, които се отбиха и коментираха по случай тазмесечния IHSW.

Stitching projects seem to go much faster ans easier than the "ordinary" ones and as soon as I'm done with one, I pick the next one. I'm still working on my other wips as well, but the pace is not so fast.&lt;br /&gt;So here is my project for this months IHSW. A new start was planned from the beginning, but it was supposed to be a Haed. Unfortunately, my thread order is not here yet, so I decided to start this instead. This is going to be a head shot portrait of Shiki from Togainu no Chi, an anime I haven't yet watched, but I guess I should check it since I'm stitching it. In any case, it's a favourite for one girl I met on a anime event. We agreed on doing and art/craft exchange, I'm making her this stitched piece and she's drawing me a some wallpapers&lt;br /&gt;It's a nice stitch, although I'm getting a little tired of all the black. But I figured thing will be lots easier if I finished all the black first befor going with all the other colours.&lt;br /&gt;This is it from me for now, now I'll go check some more of the participants in the IHSW! :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wwp8pKuZSpY/TlKPz6Y1lSI/AAAAAAAABF8/UVUOcnOTvgI/s1600/shi.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 375px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wwp8pKuZSpY/TlKPz6Y1lSI/AAAAAAAABF8/UVUOcnOTvgI/s400/shi.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643731405058184482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Изглежда тази година ми е аниме година по отношение на бродирането. АНиме проектите някакси ми вървят по-бързо от "обикновените" и щом свърша един, веднага подхващам нов. Не, че не работя и върху други, но те определено вървят с по-умерено темпо.&lt;br /&gt;И така, ето ми го отчета за тазмесечния IHSW. Беше планирано да започна нещо ново, но то трябваше да бъде HAED. За съжаление, конците ми ги няма още, така че вместо това започнах да работя върху Шики от Тогаину но Чи, аниме, което не съм гледала, но може би трябва да му хвърля око или две, колкото имам наблизо, при условие, че го бродирам. Във всеки случай знам, че е любимо на една прителка от София, с която се запознахме покрай всички тези аниме събития. С нея се уговорихме да си направим размяна - аз и бродирам един от нейните любими герои, а тя ми рисува няколко плаката с мои любимци :)&lt;br /&gt;Засега всичко върви супер с този проект, макар че черното почва да ми омръзва. Устоявам на изкушението да почна някой друг цвят, защото си знам, че ако свърша всичкото черно, после ще бъде доста по-лесно.&lt;br /&gt;И така, май това е всичко. Аз сега ще ида да наобиколя да видя какво са работили другите "отшелници" през уикенда :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-2861684262101910926?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/2861684262101910926/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=2861684262101910926' title='18 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/2861684262101910926'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/2861684262101910926'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/08/ihsw-august.html' title='IHSW August'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wwp8pKuZSpY/TlKPz6Y1lSI/AAAAAAAABF8/UVUOcnOTvgI/s72-c/shi.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-5805198509236551135</id><published>2011-08-21T12:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-21T13:42:39.939-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='5 Things Sunday'/><title type='text'>5 Things Sunday!</title><content type='html'>So here it is, guys, ready for the second edition? :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Beach&lt;br /&gt;Now, as I live 10-15 minutes from the sea, you may think that I always spend my summer, lazing on the beach. This isn't true. Not the lazing part - that is the ultimate truth. But this last week I exceeded my usual number of visits, woohoo! But I'm not telling you my total number, you will laugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Weekly anime meetings&lt;br /&gt;I've got kinda used to the weekly anime meeting in Varna (that I was visiting every secind week, but what ever) and now I'm very happy that the meeting in Bourgas got revived. Few years ago, we had huge meetings every month or so, 60+ people, games, presentations and so on. But then the people doing all the work around those meeting went to study in other cities. One friend is trying to start them anew, for now it's just gathering and talking about different anime every week. Today's was Naruto. Oh my. But I was fangirling, so it was ok.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Home made chinese food&lt;br /&gt;My mum is getting really good at this. Today it was chicken with bamboo and peanuts. Yum-yum&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Star Trek&lt;br /&gt;I'm rewatching TNG, this is the only series I've ever watched, actually. Now it's even more awesome than when I was a kid. I can't wait to watch every next episode, hoping for more Data cuteness, lol!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. IHSW&lt;br /&gt;The IHSW, hosted by &lt;a href="http://joysze.blogspot.com"&gt;Joysze &lt;/a&gt;- I really love it, and I hate to miss it. Luckily this month I was able to join in! During the IHSWs, I'm alawys getting so much more done than ususal. The magic. Tomorrow I'll show you what I worked on this weekend&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;И така, ето го второто издание на Петте Неделни Неща&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Плаж&lt;br /&gt;Човек би си помислил, че щом живея на 10-15 минути от морето, ще прекарвам лятото, мързелувайки на плажа. Е, това не е така. Освен частта с мързелуването. Тя абсолятно отговаря на истината. Тази седмица обаче значително надминах средната си посещаемост на плажа, уау! Поне вече имам разлика на тена :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Седмични аниме срещи&lt;br /&gt;Бях им свикнала от Варна (макар че там ходех всяка втора седмица) и с радост разбрах, че и бургаските срещи се възраждат. Преди няколко години на всеки няколко месеца се правеха големи срещи - 60+ души, презентации, игри и т.н. След това обаче организаторите отидоха да учат по други градове/държави, и нямаше кой да подхнате делото.  Сега обаче една приятелка се е заела с тази тежка задача. Засега на седмичните срещи просто се събираме да приказваме за определено аниме. Тазседмичното беше Наруто, защото има много нарутардчета. Аз обаче си фенгърлствах за Итаче, така че всичко беше ок&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Домашно приготвени китайски манджи :D&lt;br /&gt;Мама става много добра в това. Днешното меню беше Императорско пиле с бамбук и фъстъци&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Стар Трек&lt;br /&gt;Сега гледам отново The Next Generation, и е даже по-добро, отколкото когато бях малка. Очаквам всеки следващ епизод с надежда за повече незабравими Дейта моменти.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 IHSW&lt;br /&gt;И този месец той се организира от &lt;a href="http://joysze.blogspot.com"&gt;Joysze&lt;/a&gt;. Сериозно си го обичам това, защото винаги се оказва, че свършвам повече работа, отколкото през обикновен уикенд. Утре ще покажа върху какво работех този път&lt;br /&gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-5805198509236551135?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/5805198509236551135/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=5805198509236551135' title='3 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/5805198509236551135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/5805198509236551135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/08/5-things-sunday_21.html' title='5 Things Sunday!'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-7531975646946302319</id><published>2011-08-19T13:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-19T16:25:53.233-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plastic canvas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sewing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animanga'/><title type='text'>A bunch of not so good photos, but still photos</title><content type='html'>As you know, a picture is worth a 1000 words.

Sone of these finishes are made like months ago, some are new.

This is the "to be continued " I spoke for. Soo like you know last week in Varna was the Anifest, which is an anime, manga and japanese culture event. My sister took part in it, as one of the artists in the anime style exhibition and I had to  take her pictures there few days before the day of the event. The initial plan was to drop the arts and take the first bus back. But things didn't go as planned, oh no, they didn't XD The woman from the mall helping to organize the event, was searching for an artist to draw a portrait of the ombudsman in anime style during the morning news block. Most Varna artists seemed too shy to be show in front of the camera and noone was willing to accept. As I was carrying some of Maya's (my sister, a.k.a. &lt;a href="http://psychopuffle.deviantart.com/"&gt;PsychoPuffle&lt;/a&gt;) pictures, I showed them, people really liked them and asked me to call her. For my surprise, she accepted - I really didn't believed she would get on the bus right away to go to another city in order to participate in early morning show, but she did, lol! And so she came, and the sun was shining bright, and can you guess how the weather was on the morning - pouring rain and like 15 C lower than the day before. Anyway, we went to the place to meet one other girl from the anime club that was taking part too. The main idea was promote the upcoming event and to give the ombudsman, who loves caricatures, self-portraits and such - a new piece for his collection. The girls had 30 minutes to draw him and this is the result!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--fq0es9rXRo/TkwlNyLj9VI/AAAAAAAABD8/YqwEJIGTMTw/s1600/287828_2278869497984_1436164039_32614627_2596_o.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--fq0es9rXRo/TkwlNyLj9VI/AAAAAAAABD8/YqwEJIGTMTw/s400/287828_2278869497984_1436164039_32614627_2596_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641925351927182674" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;My sister's on the left with her work next to her - she did pretty well. Too nad this is the only picture I could find&lt;br /&gt;Btw if I could ask for some advice - anyone knows how to download a video from a site that is nor precisely for video streaming (like youtube, dailymotion and so on)? Because we'd like pretty much to download the whole &lt;a href="http://bnt.bg/bg/news/view/58310/konstantin_penchev_pred_bnt_i_darik"&gt;interview &lt;/a&gt;with the girls showing in the beginning and in the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next with Maya we went to watch HP. Some of you were surprised why we saw the movie a month after its release. Answer - our city has some cinema-related problems, which is extremely annoying! If it was some small town, I'd somehow get over it. But it is not, Bourgas even won the "best city to live in" award last year. Anyway, that's why we ended up watcging the HP so late and in other city. This didn't hurt the qualities of the movie, and my sister was pretty happy with the day, me too, despite the fact I was freezing (remember, we came with clothes for 32 C and ended up with 17 C Brrr! At least she had sneakers and jeans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we went back to Burgas and on Satruday's early morning we were ready to go once again for the main event. One of my sister's friend was coming along too - Yana. She's a real anime fan, so she really had lots of fun, as the fest had a little bit of almost everything to show. Maya was more impressed by the games, They tried quite many, including Guitar Hero and Street Fighter. And oh poor things, they couldn't play Mortal Kombat or Tekken, because they were under 16! *can't help the evil grin. You should heard them in order to understand*&lt;br /&gt;Maya didn't spend almost any money and won a pair of neko ears form the lottery. I did't get ears, and unfortunately, unlike her, I spent quite some. I got myself a hand drawn cup with some guy from Durarara that I plan to call Sebastian anyway, a DOGS poster, and 4 manga volumes - Cafe Taro.&lt;br /&gt;And now, if you want, you're welcome to scroll down for some pics :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;Това е продължението за Анифеста, което ви бях обещала! И така, както вече знаете, Анифест се проведе в събота във Варна. Историята обаче ще започнем няколко дни по рано &amp;gt;:) Сестра (Мая) участва в изложбата на рисунки и аз трябваше да ги занеса няколко дни преди самото събитие. Първоначалният план беше да ги оставя и възможно най-бързо да хвана обратния автобус. Този план обаче претърпя тотална корекция. Жената, която представляваше мола, в който се провеждаше Анифеста, търсеше човек, който да нарисува портрет на омбудсмана в аниме стил по време на сутрешния блок на бнт. Изведнъж обаче всички подходящи варненци много ги досрамяло и те до един и отказали. Тъй като носех картините на Мая, показах ги, и те много ги харесаха и ме помолиха да и се обадя да я питам. За моя огромна изненада тя прие - а тя по принцип не е човек, който ей така ще се вземе да бърза да хваща автобуса, да иде в друг град, за да участва в предаване в 7,30 - но, изглежда госпожата е била много много убедителна! И така, на другата сутрин се запътихме към уговореното място - което между другото е грешно посочено в Гугъл мапс! shame shame! XD - и определено ни вървеше по вода, макар че колко точно литра на квадратен метър, не мога да ви кажа. Там се събрахме с още едно момиче от клуба, което също щеше да участва, а и да представя клуба - все пак 14 годишната ми роднина не е член.&lt;br /&gt;Общо взето идеята беше да се направи подарък на омбудсмана, който събирал свои карикатури и портрети и едновременно с това да се направи реклама на Анифеста. Момичетата имаха около половин час, докато течеше &lt;a href="http://bnt.bg/bg/news/view/58310/konstantin_penchev_pred_bnt_i_darik"&gt;интервюто&lt;/a&gt;. Между другото, ако някой знае как се свалят клипчета от сайтове, различни от youtube, dailymotion и т.н., и сподели, ще получи вечната ми благодарност и виртуално шарено бонбонче!&lt;br /&gt;След гореописаните събития в четвъртък, в събота пак се върнахме във Варна, този път за самия Анифест. С нас беше и една приятелка на сестра ми. Тя си е образцов аниме фен, и мисля, че си прекара доста добре, защото фестът предлагаше по малко от почти всичко. Ссетра ми бе заинтересувана от игрите. Те се пробваха на доста, включитело Guitar Hero и Street Fighter, но не можаха да премерят сили на Tekken  и Mortal Kombat, защото са под 16! *на това място е невъзможно човек да си спести ухилването от ухо до ухо, ако ги бяхте чули и видели на живо, щяхте да ме разберете).&lt;br /&gt;Мая успя да спечели чифт котешки уши от томболата, а аз - да изхарча парички за манга и за чашка.&lt;br /&gt;А сега, малко снимчици:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Caligraphy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kWkVaLEcIcE/Tkw_IiaMY9I/AAAAAAAABEs/7DQYGk9Fe6k/s1600/185265_10150261311853780_315608228779_7588262_4928774_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kWkVaLEcIcE/Tkw_IiaMY9I/AAAAAAAABEs/7DQYGk9Fe6k/s400/185265_10150261311853780_315608228779_7588262_4928774_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641953849096561618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Калиграфия&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;The cutest Origami tree in the whole world&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SH4hG2yQ9A8/Tkw0D2Rw79I/AAAAAAAABEc/9P_ulG0Glww/s1600/185514_10150261305373780_315608228779_7588137_6463776_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SH4hG2yQ9A8/Tkw0D2Rw79I/AAAAAAAABEc/9P_ulG0Glww/s400/185514_10150261305373780_315608228779_7588137_6463776_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641941673902665682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Най-сладкото оригами дръвче в целия свят&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;Pretty awesome Hisagi cosplay - extra points for the sword release!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HpeI6dQiKss/Tkw0DpT-39I/AAAAAAAABEU/18arwF-W1W4/s1600/DSCN0671.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HpeI6dQiKss/Tkw0DpT-39I/AAAAAAAABEU/18arwF-W1W4/s400/DSCN0671.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641941670422306770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Доста добър косплей на Хисаги от Блийч, който получава допълнителни точки за оръжието в истинския му вид (а не обикновена катана)&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;Andthis is the cutest little cosplayer!

I won't bore you with unnessesairy babling for this one, so here's just the beasic info and the photos:&lt;br /&gt;Pattern - Three of stitches by Abi Gurden  - the &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheStitchSpecialists/"&gt;Stitch Specialists &lt;/a&gt;group SAL&lt;br /&gt;linen 30 count&lt;br /&gt;Ariadna threads.&lt;br /&gt;By the way neither the camera, nor the scanner shows the real colour of the thread for the trunk. It actually has a tint of pink in the brown&lt;br /&gt;I think the first Special Stitch turned rather good. The next part is French knots. They're scary...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t-5CbzrYHLo/TkltQYi5m7I/AAAAAAAABDg/6y2PkLUdu2I/s1600/CIMG1235.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t-5CbzrYHLo/TkltQYi5m7I/AAAAAAAABDg/6y2PkLUdu2I/s400/CIMG1235.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641160136492424114" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y-o7_Vb8Pt8/TkltvgF010I/AAAAAAAABDo/WN5DEuCK9bs/s1600/tree2.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y-o7_Vb8Pt8/TkltvgF010I/AAAAAAAABDo/WN5DEuCK9bs/s400/tree2.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641160671093905218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ето най-накрая снимки на дръвчето. Ще карам по бързата процедура - схема на Abi Gurden - &lt;a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheStitchSpecialists/"&gt;The Stitch Specialists &lt;/a&gt;, лен 30 каунт, а конците са Ариадна. Трябва да изтъкна, че нито фотоапаратът, нито скенерът не отдават дължимото на цвета на ствола на дървото, който има доста приятен намек за розово в кафявото. И така, с първите две части приключихме сполучливо. Следващата обаче е за френските възли, а те са страшни..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-5335543966550269588?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/5335543966550269588/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=5335543966550269588' title='9 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/5335543966550269588'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/5335543966550269588'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/08/tree-of-stitches-parts-1-and-2.html' title='Tree of Stitches - parts 1 and 2'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t-5CbzrYHLo/TkltQYi5m7I/AAAAAAAABDg/6y2PkLUdu2I/s72-c/CIMG1235.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-4687613196929768155</id><published>2011-08-14T11:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-14T13:45:27.714-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='http://www.blogger.com/img/http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifblank.gif'/><title type='text'>5 things Sunday!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.candyfavorites.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/l/i/lindt_white_chocolate.jpg_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello everyone! It's been a busy, really busy week for me so I didn't have time to post as much as I wanted. So I thought  this meme is the perfect way to summarize it all. Most of them are "to be continued" but it can't be helped, or this post will be a few kilometers long&lt;br /&gt;5 Things Sunday is a weekly meme I saw from the &lt;a href="http://coffee-craft.blogspot.com/"&gt;Coffee and Craft blog &lt;/a&gt;that I really love! It's all about gathering random things that made the week awesome, which is a pretty cool idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. Anifest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday my sister, her friend and I went to Varna for the first anime event in this city. It was organised by the Shiokaze anime club in one of the malls and it was pretty successfull. I  think both of them had pretty much fun, especially Yana (the friend) as she is a real anime fan, and there were lot to see and buy. My sister was more impressed by the games, she learned to play Go, but I thik what she liked most was Guitar Hero and Street Fighter. (to be continued with more talking and photos)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. Sewing machine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally got my hands on the sewing machine! We have one, we always did, but up untill now I never tried it. And now when I did, I have so many projects in my head I want to try! Most of them I never will, but oh well. I't's been about two weeks or a little bit less since I started working how to sew with it, I'm getting all the basics, but the machine is just going too fast! XD For now I just want to become a master of the straight lines. And for now, to be continued with the photos of the long promised finishes and the results of me using the machine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheStitchSpecialists/"&gt;The Stitch Specialists&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I said, I joined the Yahoo group at the beginning of the week and I already started the Tree of Stitches! I finished the second part today. Abi Gurden's explainings of the stitches are so good and easy to understand, I was able to make my first special stitches, lol! Pics of my tree will be posted here soon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.myowlbarn.com/"&gt;My Owl Barn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one of the cutest places on the net! So much owls, so much owlsomness!!! I want to make oll the crafty projects form there! I want all the owly goodness!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5The last HP movie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally watched it, and I loved it so! The Snape drama! And more Snape drama (my sister ruined the most dramatic moments though &amp;gt;:(  One thing I didn't like - when Voldemort dided and turned into little pieces that started flying all over - in 3D it's like they're raining on you! Gah! Voldemort pieces in my hair and on my face, no thanks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And  before I end this post I want to welcome 2 new followers, Ccflo, whose profile or blog  I couldn't find, but I'd love to! ; and &lt;a href="http://myxstitchcorner.blogspot.com/"&gt;Xeihua&lt;/a&gt; who is from the SS group too and has an outstanding example of the Tree stitched!&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;Здрасти! През тази седмица имаше доста неща за правене, някои планирани, други не, но заради тях не писах толкова, колкото ми се искаше. Затова реших, че това meme е подходяща форма да се резюмират нещата. 5 Things Sunday тръгна от блога  &lt;a href="http://coffee-craft.blogspot.com/"&gt;Cofee and Craft&lt;/a&gt; и основната му идея е да събереш на едно място 5 иначе може би различни неща, като обединяващото звено е, че те са направили изминалата седмица по-хубава:)&lt;br /&gt;и така, моята петица е:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Анифест&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Вчера със сестра ми и една нейна приятелка отидохме до Варна за първия аниме фестивал организиран там от клуба Шиоказе. Според мен и двете си прекара добре, особено Яна (приятелката), защото тя си е истинско аниме фенче, а фестът предоставяше всичко, за да зарадва хората от тази порода. Сестра ми беше по-впечатлена от игрите, както настолните - учи се да играе го - така и компютърните (следва продължение по темата, придружено от снимков материал)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Шевна машина&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Най-накрая изкарах шевната ни машина! Ние винаги сме имали,  но досега не се бях пробвала.  След като вече го направих, в главата ми се нароиха сума ти планове, болшинството от които по всяка вероятност ще си останат неосъществени. Засега след около две седмици или малко по-малко упражнения, може да се каже, че схващам основното, само дето машината се движи много бързо! XD Е, засега меракът ми е да овладея до съвършенство шиенето по права линия, после ще видим. (тук също следва продължение с резултати те от употребата на шевната машина)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Групата &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheStitchSpecialists/"&gt;The Stitch Specialits&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Вече писах за нея преди. Но трябва да добавя, че вече започнах да си шия дървото. Обясненията на Abi Gurden са много разбираеми, и с тяхна помощ успях да се преборя с втората част от схемата. Третата съдържа френски възли, които са си предизвикателство отвсякъде погледнато. Всъщност, мен много ме бива да ги правя. Проблемът е, че възлите винаги са от опаковата страна. &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.myowlbarn.com/"&gt;My owl barn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Едно от най-интересните местнеца, на които съм попадала в близко време. Пълно с всевъзможни совешки сладости!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Последниян филм за Хари Потър&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Най-накрая го гледах и много го харесах. Снейп драма! И още Снейп драма! Макар че сестра ми успя да ми развали най-драматични момент, когато Снейп умираше, защото съм се вживявала прекалено. Само едно нещо не ми хареса - когато Волдемор умря, и се разпръсна на парцалчета - на 3d все едно те капеха върху теб! Парченца Волдемор по косата и лицето ми? Гиуууу!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И преди края на този пост - здрасти на ccflo и &lt;a href="http://myxstitchcorner.blogspot.com"&gt;Xeihua &lt;/a&gt;- на нейния блог сега може да видите чудесен пример как би трябвало да изглежда дървото от SS групата, когато е завършено!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-4687613196929768155?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/4687613196929768155/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=4687613196929768155' title='3 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/4687613196929768155'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/4687613196929768155'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/08/5-things-sunday.html' title='5 things Sunday!'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-1846822866083751686</id><published>2011-08-08T12:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-08T15:16:23.937-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wip'/><title type='text'>Back to the good ol' stiching</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NQh62eC-svs/TkBNzDMU6vI/AAAAAAAABDM/56Fvu6GELUk/s1600/sheep.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KztFMK_ArXA/TkBNfsg9SkI/AAAAAAAABDE/9XnpMEBE52E/s1600/sheep.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But first let me : Wow, people, you're all such fast bloggers! I feel ashamed for procrastinating and getting distraceted. So now - I'm gonna sit and write this thing in one piece! Without going to do other things. So probably this post will be quite short XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a couple of finished finishes to show - Puchu  as a pillow, Hikaru keychain, and the baloon kitty, made in something that can be hanged on the wall. You name it. But this is just a teaser - cause my camera is down and I'll be able to make photos not until tomorrow. For now, I'll show you something that I can tuck into the scanner&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NQh62eC-svs/TkBNzDMU6vI/AAAAAAAABDM/56Fvu6GELUk/s1600/sheep.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 367px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NQh62eC-svs/TkBNzDMU6vI/AAAAAAAABDM/56Fvu6GELUk/s400/sheep.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638592272893537010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;And this is my sheep! I was a little uncertain about the colours, when the skein were just laid on the fabric, but now I like it ! Apart from this, there's not much to say about it for now&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still another thing that might be worth mentioning is that I joined the yahoo group of The Stitch Specialists, hoping that I'll finally learn some speciality stitches and French knot won't be a dirty word anymore. I still need some more time to get used to all this message board thing. Up till now I've only been visiting forums and blogs. But Ihope and believe that I'll manage it somehow, and that I'll try my luck (successfully maybe!) with the beautiful Tree of Stitches I've seen on your blogs, and maybe eventually, the cutie owl too. But that's way too far in the future! For now my future plans are way simplier - a movie, and a few stitches here and there before I go to bed. Oh and some posts ago someone asked - and I forgot to answer, shame on me!- whether I watched Harry Potter5 that night, or Much Ado About Nothing. Actually I made up my decision when I finished translating the post, and that night the winner was Harry (the Ado was next night). Right now I'm choosing between Harry Potter 7 the first part, and Love's Labour's Lost! Ah, the iternal battle between Harry and Shakespeare!  (ok, it's actually more like Alan Rickman vs Keneth Branagh XD)&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;След като прочетох колко бързо успявате да напишете блоговете си, остава ми само кторичко да се срамувам от това колко ме бива в отлагането и разсейването! Честно се опитах този пост да го напиша без да се разсейвам. Само едно- две забягвания до Youtube докато се качваше снимката, но то не се брои! Нали?&lt;br /&gt;Имам няколко завършени-завършени неща (т.е. вече съм показала самото нещо избродирано, но сега вече е приведено в приличен и краен вид) - Пучуто, Хикару и котката. Но те ще трябва да почакат, докато се зареди хубавичко батерията на фотоапарата. Дотогава нямам друг изобр, освен да ви покажа нещо, което мога да натъпча в принтера. А това е овцата.&lt;br /&gt;Коледната ми овчица напредва бавно и славно под илюзията, че до зимата има много време. Засега няма да се каже кой знае какво за овцата, освен че отначало бях малко несигурна за цветовете, но сега ми харесват доста повече.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Иначе друго - включих се в Yahoo групата на The Stitch Specialists с надеждата като се навъртам около хора, които могат да правят всичките тези специални бодчета, да прихвана от тях. Малко още не мога да свикна с Яху-то, тъй като досега винаги съм била само на форуми и блогове, но да се надяваме, че и това ще стане. В далечно бъдеще виждам и мое собственичко ушито дърво на бодчетата, а може би дори и сова! Но такива далечни прогнози са доста несигурни понякога, затова предпочитам да залагам на не толкова отдалечените във времето. Засега за близкото бъдеще предвиждам филмче + някой бод тук и там.&lt;br /&gt;Преди няколко поста се чудех какво да избера между Хари Потър 5 и Много шум за нищо. Онази вечер битката спечели ХП. А сега се колебая между първата част на Даровете на смъртта и Напразните усилия на любовта. Ах, вечната битка между Хари Потър и Шекспир. Е добре де, това може да се разглежда и като Алън Рикман срещу Кенет Брана XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-1846822866083751686?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/1846822866083751686/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=1846822866083751686' title='10 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/1846822866083751686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/1846822866083751686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/08/back-to-good-ol-stiching.html' title='Back to the good ol&apos; stiching'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NQh62eC-svs/TkBNzDMU6vI/AAAAAAAABDM/56Fvu6GELUk/s72-c/sheep.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-782845773894481553</id><published>2011-08-05T12:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-05T15:43:43.768-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='birthday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='paper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='card'/><title type='text'>As promised!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BsxLkEvhLV8/TjxYj405tCI/AAAAAAAABC8/VWioAjbM-3Q/s1600/CIMG0006.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-11HqmLkHGEY/TjxWJvcTQPI/AAAAAAAABC0/b5oSFIVroNk/s1600/CIMG0003.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm back again! I was wondering what to plague you today, as I had a photoshoot of several things that will pop up on the blog (sounds more exciting than it actually is). But first - yesterday I forgot to say thanks to &lt;a href="http://fox-inverse.blogspot.com/"&gt;Inverse &lt;/a&gt;for following - thanks!&lt;br /&gt;So, for today I decided to show someting a little bit different. which is a card. I don do cards, as you may guess from the sad misspeld tag on the left saying "carf" with only one entry. But my grandmother had a bday last week. I was kinda caught off guard as I thought I'll be wrapping present. But - she wanted something for the garden - that we can't be trusted to find and bought, lol - so in the end I was making a card with money pocket. And this was happening around midnight, with not much materials for card making and the computer decided that this night exactly, should have break =&amp;gt; no prinatbles&lt;br /&gt;anyway - ta da &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-11HqmLkHGEY/TjxWJvcTQPI/AAAAAAAABC0/b5oSFIVroNk/s1600/CIMG0003.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-11HqmLkHGEY/TjxWJvcTQPI/AAAAAAAABC0/b5oSFIVroNk/s400/CIMG0003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637475558914998514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Casting: absolutely ordinary plain white cardboard sheet&lt;br /&gt;               white circles cut with the help of my pefume bottle (it was on the backstage but still has to be mentioned, for without its help, things wouldn't be the same)&lt;br /&gt;              rub-on flowers that I got for free last summer after buying a bunch of stuff from the craft shop&lt;br /&gt;              my uneven handwriting&lt;br /&gt;              ribbons&lt;br /&gt;               a green sheet from an old notebook (it has NOTEBOOK written on the othe side of the paper)&lt;br /&gt;              an ordinary sewing pin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BsxLkEvhLV8/TjxYj405tCI/AAAAAAAABC8/VWioAjbM-3Q/s1600/CIMG0006.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BsxLkEvhLV8/TjxYj405tCI/AAAAAAAABC8/VWioAjbM-3Q/s400/CIMG0006.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637478207133955106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Special efects: The thin ribbon is connected with the back of the green pocket, so when you pull it,  the money inthe pocket are coming out&lt;br /&gt;Awarded for "actual absence of ill intent and it's the try that matters"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Showing the true meaning of scraps in scrapbboking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soon in theaters in your home town&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now, before I call it a day, I want to ask: How much time does it take for you to write a blog entry. Because for me, it always takes hours. And often includes watching a movie. for example, while writing this post, I  had dinner, read a chapter of  a Pratchett book, watched two and a half episodes of anime and checked almost the whole history of three blogs, while checking my mail every five minutes, just like this. On the half of the third I felt guilty and came back to finish it here. But bear in mind, that I still have to write the part in Bulgarian. Usually this goes faster, for obvious reasons. But it still takes time and attention. From the one I have a little, and even less from the other. XP&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;Аз този пост започнах да го пиша към десет вечерта... Макар че известна част от забавянето се дължи на това, че се чудех с какво да досадя на широката публика днес, причина за по-голямата част е изключителната ми невъзможност да задържа вниманието си на един отворен прозорец за повече от минута. Докато пишех този пост успях да ида да вечерям, да прочета една глава от книга на Пратчет, да изгледам два епизода и половина аниме, да прегледам почти цялата история на три блога и естествено, на всеки пет минути да си проверявам пощата. А още не е дошъл момента да се натисне бутона публикуване. А на вас колко време ви отнема да напишете един средностатистически пост?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;В момента е близо един и половина, но все още смятам, че обещанието ми от вчера да поствам днес си е изпълнено, защото моето днес си свършва чак след като си легна; или поне докато съмне, но се надявам да не се стига до подобни крайности&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Преди да се впусна из дебрите на обясненията по проект, който не е строго от моята специалност, да поправя пропуска си от вчера и да се похваля за новата жертва - &lt;a href="http://fox-inverse.blogspot.com/"&gt;Inverse &lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;:D&lt;br /&gt;Иначе за днес ерших да ви занимая с нещо малко по-различно. Картичка, както вече сте видели. Картичкоправенето определено не е по моята специалност, не съм квалифицирана, няма ми го в трудовата характеристика и т.н. Но миналата седмица баба имаше рожден ден, а очакванията ми да опаковам подарък (в което се справям сравнително по-добре) не бяха оправдани. Тъй като тя искаше нещо за градината, намирането и закупуването на което не може да ни бъде поверено ^^"", вместо опаковка майка ми каза да направя пликче за парички, и на бял свят се пръкна горното нещо. Тази задача ме свари малко неподготвена, в 11 вечерта, и с компютър, който по причини, които до ден днешен отказва да сподели с мен, си беше взел почивка за вечерта, т.е. без връзка със смета и без различни принтабилни нещица, които да улеснят творческия процес&lt;br /&gt;Иии та-каа, представям ви...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;С участието на:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;лист обикновен бял картон&lt;br /&gt;кръгчета, изрязани от кутията на някакъв телефон, с неоценимата помощ на шише парфюм  (участие само зад сцената, но заслужава почетно упоменаване, тъй като без него нещата щяха да са невъзможни)&lt;br /&gt;цветни rub-on лепенки, които получих безплатно от магазина миналата година, когато бях направила доста голяма покупка&lt;br /&gt;панделки с много нисък афинитет към лепило&lt;br /&gt;страница от тетрадка (с голям надпис NOTEBOOK) он другата страна&lt;br /&gt;карфица&lt;br /&gt;моят неравен почерк&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Специални ефекти:&lt;/span&gt; панделката е закрепена за вътрешната страна на джобчето, и когато се дръпне, паричките излизат от джобчето&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Награда&lt;/span&gt; "важни са усилията и доброто намерение"&lt;br /&gt;Придава ново значение на думата scrap в scrapbooking&lt;br /&gt;Скоро по кината и във вашия град&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;За разлика от ХП 7, който изглежда няма намерение да пристигне в моя град &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;А аз иначе утре се завръщам към по познати занимания&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-782845773894481553?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/782845773894481553/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=782845773894481553' title='4 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/782845773894481553'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/782845773894481553'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/08/as-promised.html' title='As promised!'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-11HqmLkHGEY/TjxWJvcTQPI/AAAAAAAABC0/b5oSFIVroNk/s72-c/CIMG0003.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-7977303001641326165</id><published>2011-08-04T09:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-04T14:37:32.324-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plastic canvas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animanga'/><title type='text'>Yesterday was such an awesome day on the manga front !</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hVBpOonWNms/TjsEWNgOKUI/AAAAAAAABCs/quMSIwSAT5w/s1600/magnets.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the title says! Yesterday two manga series I'm following made me extremely happy. Yay! Can you guess the titles? On Bleach we have the&lt;a href="http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/459/14"&gt; shinigamis coming back&lt;/a&gt;!! Do note Rukia's gloves, hairstyle and that she's a lieutenant now :)) And it's good to see Ichigo back in his shinigami uniform too.&lt;br /&gt;And on Naruto, &lt;a href="http://www.mangareader.net/naruto/550/8"&gt;Itachi's free&lt;/a&gt;. To be honest, I dropped Naruto some time ago, but when I was told about the last chapter, it was, well, a must read :) and now I have 80 chapters to read in order to catch up O.o When did they pile?&lt;br /&gt;All this seemed to nicely fit the crafty theme for today's post. Last week I recieved my order from an online shop, and it had some plastic canvas too. For  my first try with plastic, I decided to do some magnets, so I wanted small patterns. all of those are actually alphabet style patterns for bracelets. Ah, the good old bracelet days... I kinda miss them to tell the truth. All the time I keep promising myself to find some time and make one again, just not to forget how to knot. &lt;a href="http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2008/03/have-been-sick.html"&gt;Here &lt;/a&gt;is how the Leaf sign was knotted&lt;br /&gt;So, now you can see: the Naruto Sand village sign, Naruto Leaf village sign, Jigoku Shojo (Hell Girl) mark, and L's L from Death Note.&lt;br /&gt;This is it for today. I was planning to babble some more, but it turns I'm to lazy to do even this properly; just like I'm to lazy to place the stitchings properly in the scanner. Tomorrow I'll try to be a better person and post again. Wish me luck! :))))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hVBpOonWNms/TjsEWNgOKUI/AAAAAAAABCs/quMSIwSAT5w/s1600/magnets.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 147px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hVBpOonWNms/TjsEWNgOKUI/AAAAAAAABCs/quMSIwSAT5w/s400/magnets.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637104138212747586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Вчера беше много хубав ден, поне колкото се отнася до излезлите манга глави! Две от любимите ми поредици ми поднесоха много приятни изненадил Може ли да се досети някой кои са?&lt;br /&gt;Най-напред &lt;a href="http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/459/14"&gt;Блийч&lt;/a&gt;, където най-накрая шинигамитата се завърнаха! След дълго отсъствие от 35 глави (а то всъщност дали се брои за дълго, след като засега мангата е до 459 глава?) Рукия се завръща - и да се обърне внимание на ръкавичките (като на брат и Бякуя), новата прическа и значката на лейтенант :D  А на следващата страница Ичиго също се завръща в пълния си блясък като шинигами, йей!&lt;br /&gt;Другата приятност беше поднесена от &lt;a href="http://www.mangareader.net/naruto/550/8"&gt;Наруто&lt;/a&gt;, където Итачи се освободи от хипнозата. Признавам си, че бях зарязала Наруто малко след смъртта на Итачи, но след като ми съобщиха какво става, нямаше как, трябваше да се прочете (в мое отсътвие те го възродили и хипнотизирали.... много неща надробили за изтъваните от мен 80 чаптъра...)&lt;br /&gt;Иначе причината да ви разкажа как вървят моите манга сапунки е, че тематически подхождат на останалата част от поста. Която всъщност представлява моят първи опит върху перфорирана пластмаса. Реших да се пробвам да направя магнитчета; тъй като имах нужда от малки схеми, използвах "азбучни" схеми за гривни. Ах, добрите стари времена на плетене на гривни... малко ми липсват. Все си повтарям, че е крайно време да седна и да направя поне една, ей така, колкото да не забравя как става, но засега си оставам само с добрите намерения.  Но ето &lt;a href="http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2008/03/have-been-sick.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;така&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, да речем, изглежда един от символите изплетен&lt;br /&gt;От ляво на дясно са знакът на селото на пясъка от Наруто, на селото на листата, знакът на Jigoku Shojo (или момичето от ада, това така и не го доизгледах, защото ме стресираше) и L на Ел от Death note.&lt;br /&gt;Имах доброто намерение да приказвам и за други неща, но открих, че твърде много ме мързи. Както ме домързя и да подредя кандидат-магнитчетата правилно в скенера. Но за утре планирам да се поправя в това отношение и да постна нещо. Пожелайте ми късмет! :)))&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-7977303001641326165?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/7977303001641326165/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=7977303001641326165' title='4 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/7977303001641326165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/7977303001641326165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/08/yesterday-was-such-awesome-day-on-manga.html' title='Yesterday was such an awesome day on the manga front !'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hVBpOonWNms/TjsEWNgOKUI/AAAAAAAABCs/quMSIwSAT5w/s72-c/magnets.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-6339222539842902128</id><published>2011-07-30T12:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-30T14:31:21.998-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animanga'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal pattern'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='finish'/><title type='text'>Puchus vs Alucard</title><content type='html'>Hello, it's me again! But given the fact that I'm the only one writing this blog, that's not a surprise at all, is it. Right to the point, thanks for all the comments on the last post! And thank you, &lt;a href="http://starcraftdinner.blogspot.com/"&gt;Last Days&lt;/a&gt;, for following!  Seems that the Puchu magic is working and winning your love. Just don't forget that despite the cute bearish look, they're here to invade our world:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NalzxEYGz7s" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" width="480"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet, they're cute. Here's my stitched Puchu in all of its evil glory:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FCfrROBRCMw/TjRbJQDoIdI/AAAAAAAABCc/6dorOLs3u3k/s1600/puchufin.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 306px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FCfrROBRCMw/TjRbJQDoIdI/AAAAAAAABCc/6dorOLs3u3k/s400/puchufin.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635229248234463698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Aah, I forgot a piece of backstitch. I hope I'll remember to add it. anyway, in case you suddenly wish to add a stitched Puchu to the army and help them achieve world domination, the pattern was actually posted &lt;a href="http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2009/12/and-i-will-say-nyaa-and-kyaa-and-puchuu.html"&gt;here &lt;/a&gt;a while ago.&lt;br /&gt;I had to wait a few days to get that yellow, and meantime I stitched this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X6XBJ13EXC8/TjRoP_ITMlI/AAAAAAAABCk/g3PshNK6kGY/s1600/alucard.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 238px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X6XBJ13EXC8/TjRoP_ITMlI/AAAAAAAABCk/g3PshNK6kGY/s400/alucard.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635243657600905810" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Armed and dangerous, here comes Alucard. Now the question is, who would win, Alucard or Puchu? Place your bets, but do be careful. The Alucard pattern I made by a request from the 1337 xstitch forum (that, shame on me, I haven't visited for ages).  The pattern is still on the &lt;a href="http://1337xstitch.yolasite.com/hellsing.php"&gt;site&lt;/a&gt; though And, as a matter of fact, the pattern for the Hitachiin twins from before, too. As usual, I didn't pay the slightest attention to the colour key, and I advise everyone who might want to try his luck with Alucard, to do the same. With this I think I covered the point "stitching some patterns I tried to make", although I first had in mind bigger ones. The stitchings from those personal patterns will go to this summer's Anifest. This is an anime and Japanese culture event organzed by the club I'm in. It's the first such event on the sea, and we're all trying to help cover the expenses and make this as good as possible. I'm assigned to make a  presentation too, and hell how I hate working with PowerPoint. &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I'll be off to play some Harry Potter 2, or watch - HP 5 or Much ado about nothing - still can't decide. Have a nice Sunday everyone!&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Пак съм аз. Това обаче не е изненадващо, като се има предвид факта, че само аз пиша в този блог. Няма съспенс, няма изненадващи обрати.  Така че направо - благодаря за всички коментари по предишния пост (а на LAst Days и за "следването"!). Изглежда, Пучуто е успяло да ви омае. Но въпреки сладкия му мечешки вид, не забравяйте, че пучувците са тук, за да завладеят света. Моят принос към пучувската армия е общо взето готов, само един неволно изпуснат контурен бод го дели.  А ако на някой друг му се прииска да помогне на пучувците по пътя им към световно господство като увеличи броя им, схемата всъщност е &lt;a href="http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2009/12/and-i-will-say-nyaa-and-kyaa-and-puchuu.html"&gt;тук&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;беше ми се наложило да спра замалко работата върху Пучуто, докато ми пристигне новото жълто. Времето си запълних с работа върху друг аниме герой , Алукард от Хелзинг. И сега естествено въпросът е, при един евентуален кървав сблъсък, кой би победил? Пучу ( с тупалка за килими) или Алукард(с два броя 13 милиметрови оръжия? Извънземното или вампирът (май такъв филм още не са правили) . Аз няма да бързам да се обзалагам.&lt;br /&gt;Схемата за Алукард я правих преди време за член от 1337 форума. Тя самата, а също и схемата за Хитачин от поста преди ваканцията все още си стоят на &lt;a href="http://1337xstitch.yolasite.com/hellsing.php"&gt;сайта  &lt;/a&gt;Тези нещица, правени по собствени схемички, ще отидат на Анифеста във Варна&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://shiokaze-bg.org/css/a1.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://shiokaze-bg.org/css/a1.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Анифест се организира от варненския клуб Шиоказе, чийто член съм (ако не ме изгонят, защото не съм си внесла членската такса последните месеци &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;&amp;gt;"" ) и всички се опитваме да помогнем с организирането. (аз трябва да направя и една презентация, а как не обичам да работя с PowerPoint!) Така че ако случайно се намирате във Варна на 13 август, може да се отбиете през Мол Варна и (да гледате сеир) т.е. да вземете участие в първото събитие за аниме, манга и японска култура, провеждащо се на морето :)))&lt;br /&gt;А сега аз ще гледкам петия филм за Хари Потър - като част от грандиозния ми ХП маратон, включващ филми, книги и игри. Приятна и прохладна неделя!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-6339222539842902128?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/6339222539842902128/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=6339222539842902128' title='7 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/6339222539842902128'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/6339222539842902128'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/07/puchus-vs-alucard.html' title='Puchus vs Alucard'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/NalzxEYGz7s/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-7479989892803118249</id><published>2011-07-21T13:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-22T16:26:14.798-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='trip'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animanga'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal pattern'/><title type='text'>Hey ho!</title><content type='html'>I'm back and alive, despite that freaking hot weather. The last  three days I've been trying to catch up with all the blogs :D Lot of great stuff to see and read! But I knew that the first thing I should hve done was to sit and write something brief about the vacation - cause I know myself - as the time passes by, I totally lose my mojo to write about whatever the event was!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I even had some stupid things in mind to babble about! Anyway lets just go with the flow.&lt;br /&gt;We visited three towns and I had a book to read and a project to stitch for every one of them. Lol it's not surpising that I'm still stitching the first project (and for now I'm out of floss) but with the read things went better and I finished the third one today - I couldn't monopolise it because mom decided to read it too.&lt;br /&gt;Clockwork Angel gets bout 8/10, The red pyramid a little over 9/10 and Warm bodies gets 11/10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R6HlKc2ojg4/TiiU3d3-BvI/AAAAAAAABCE/a78WeKhM94w/s1600/157209_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 155px; height: 225px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R6HlKc2ojg4/TiiU3d3-BvI/AAAAAAAABCE/a78WeKhM94w/s400/157209_b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631915014659901170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;One of the best books I read lately and definitelly the best zombie novel I got my hands on. Very unusual, charming, gross, touching and so worth the read :) Plus it combines beautiful cover with cathing name - I don't judge books by the cover, but I find it nice when a good book is accompanied by these. It also had a pretty paper band acroos it with a heart (but realistic one) that my sister lost in the first hotel &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm looking forward to seeing the movie next year, hope it will be good!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here's the only project I could work on. It's a... Puchuu XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X7_bIyEz624/Tim_sSvZl_I/AAAAAAAABCM/K-AJsVlCZlw/s1600/puchu.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X7_bIyEz624/Tim_sSvZl_I/AAAAAAAABCM/K-AJsVlCZlw/s400/puchu.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632243576669313010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;As I said, I ran out of yellow so the Puchu will be done next week. And letters look better in real life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It ended up having less time to stitch than I thought I would because there were quite lot stuff to visit. My sister probably hates me for making her visit so many museums, but else she would have stayed in the room all the time, watching House MD for like 7th time and occasionally going to the hotel fitness . My plan for vacation was better, right? Besides, I started collecting stamps from the 100 national objects/places. Total for this trip is 7 museums and 2 ethnographical complexes because in the last town we were in all the museums were closed on Sundays and Mondays &amp;gt;.&amp;gt; As you may guess, those were the days we were staying.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I'm still too lazy to connect the camera and transfer the photos and I'm not even that much sure if they'll be of interest anyway. But I wanted to show the *old style* photo we did in the studio of one of the museums. They had quite a variety of costumes, mainly from the 19th and 20th century, and this is what I picked&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JvzJALkaIVw/Tint_kkESXI/AAAAAAAABCU/ZBriIKfwQXc/s1600/retro.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 282px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JvzJALkaIVw/Tint_kkESXI/AAAAAAAABCU/ZBriIKfwQXc/s400/retro.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632294485406009714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I have some doubts for the hat and I simply despise that stupid cardboard box that I have no idea where it came from, but otherwise, I really like this! If I had the chance I'd try on some more, from the folklore costumes up to the uniforms from WWs. And would you belive, nor my mother, neither my sister wanted to change, and I couldn't make them. What a bore &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now what's left for this pretty random post is to say "hi and sorry for taking so long" to some new followers - &lt;a href="http://temenuzhka.blogspot.com/"&gt;Temenuzhka Petrova&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href="http://stitchinchicken.blogspot.com/"&gt;Cath&lt;/a&gt; and a mysterious follower № 47 that may or may not go under the name "C". Ah,  how I love it when blogger is so not cooperative. But if I happen to reveal the mystery, I'll be more than happy to follow too! Anyway thanks to all the folowers for following, to all the readers for reading and have a nice weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;Живо съм! Въпреки жегите XP От три дни обикалям по блоговете да наваксам с материала, изпуснат по време на екскурзията - а той беше много :) Но все не се наканвах да седна да дам кратък отчет за събитията - а си се знам, че колкото повече отлагам, толкова повече ще ме домързи, и най-накрая нищо няма да излезе. А даже си бях намислила глупости за писане.&lt;br /&gt;Накратко, минахме през три града - Габрово, Трявна и Стара Загора, като нашите визити неизменно съвпадаха с пиковите температури за района. В сакчето си бях подговила три книжки и три проекта - по едно за всеки град - ама нее хич не си надценявам възможностите, особено в мъкненето на чанти. В крайна сметка работа се осъществи само по един проект, и то с по-бавни темпове от очакваното, но затова пък книжките бяха завършени в съответните градове, само последната - Старозагорската - не успях, защото по това време се конкурирах за нея с майка си.&lt;br /&gt;Ще съобщя само мнението си във вид на златни звездички - Ангел с часовников механизъм - около 8/10, Червената пирамида - 9/10 звездички, заради сянката на Пърси и Топли тела - 11/10 Последното (което хронологично погледнато беше първо) смятам да класирам към най-добрите си попадения за тази година и към най-добрите зомби романи изобщо. Подобаващо реалистичен за роман за немъртви (да се чете "гнусничко на места"). Романтика, мозъци и личната екзистенциална драма на главния герой с душевен свят дълбок като Марианската падина и по-тежки говорни проблеми от Джордж VІ (личен рекорд - 4 свързани срички - е, в началото). А и е придружена от хващащо заглавие и красива корица (по хубава от англоезичната). Не че съдя книжките по кориците, но винаги е приятно, когато ги има и тези радващи окото елементи. А в началото даже си имаше една хубавка лента със сърчице отгоре, която сестра ми загуби още в първия хотел. Но затова пък прочете книгата. Уау.&lt;br /&gt;А пък аз ще чакам филма.&lt;br /&gt;А с иглата работех върху един Пучу. Ако не знаете какво е Пучу, много е вероятно изобщо и да не ви трябва да знаете. Те са малки, жълти, с по-обезоръжаващ поглед от Котарака в Чизми, въоръжени с тупалки за килими, имат лилава кръв, искат да завладеят земята, речникът им се състои само от думата "пучу" и са от лошите. Или накрая излязоха от добрите? Така или иначе те са от Excel Saga, а това го гледаш ако случайно се почустваш твърде умен и искаш коефициента ти на интелигентност да спадне драстично. Аз лично го довърших, защото исках да разбера дали най-накрая Ексел ще изяде кучето си Менчи.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Иначе развивахме усилена културно-образователна дейност. По последни данни бяха посетени 7 музея и 2 етнографски комплекса (Боженци и Етъра). Това доведе до 4 печатчета в книжката за 100 национални туристически обекта. В Стара Загора обаче, всичко почиваше неделя и понеделник. Това, естествено, бяха дните, когато бяхме там. И няма печатче. Мрън, мрън, мрън.&lt;br /&gt;В Трявна не пропуснах да се изкипря в едно ретро фото студио. Въпреки че тая известни съмнения към шапката и дълбока ненавист към кашона, който ми разваля атмосферата на снимката, много си я харесвам. За съжаление не можах да убедя  останалите да се включат. Скучна работа &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И май остана само да кажа "здравейте и съжалявам за закъснението" на &lt;a href="http://temenuzhka.blogspot.com/"&gt;Теменужка Петрова&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://stitchinchicken.blogspot.com/"&gt;Cath  &lt;/a&gt;и тайнствен follower № 47, който може, или пък не, да се подвизава под името С. Блогър ми отказа съдействие по този въпрос, но се надявам някой ден да разкрия мистерията. И така, благодаря за четенето и приятен уикенд на всички!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-7479989892803118249?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/7479989892803118249/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=7479989892803118249' title='6 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/7479989892803118249'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/7479989892803118249'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/07/hey-ho.html' title='Hey ho!'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R6HlKc2ojg4/TiiU3d3-BvI/AAAAAAAABCE/a78WeKhM94w/s72-c/157209_b.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-1226927171009736183</id><published>2011-07-09T14:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-09T14:41:25.698-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animanga'/><title type='text'>Going on a family vacation!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vfAJ75laFtQ/ThjKIrAsoEI/AAAAAAAABBk/WaynFXbHzK8/s1600/hikaru.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And posting in kind of hurry!&lt;br /&gt;So we're going on a trip for like 10 days.

The black and white mouse tail still looks kind of strange to me, be otherwise I'm very happy with it. I absolutely love my colourfull set of baloons. Now that I look at it, I realize that I kept only two of the original colour choices, lol. Kitty will probably be finished with something, involving felt. Maybe a ribbon too, but just maybe&lt;br /&gt;But this will wait a little, because tomorrow will be a busy day, having an anime club meeting. I also had some requests from club members for stitched anime pieces, so I might start something of them now that the kitty is done (remember - "Various anime stitching"  - there was such point in my plans)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--YynbQPsGpU/ThNaKGusv4I/AAAAAAAABBc/tG3hPhbbNDc/s1600/cataloon%2Bcomplete.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 220px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--YynbQPsGpU/ThNaKGusv4I/AAAAAAAABBc/tG3hPhbbNDc/s400/cataloon%2Bcomplete.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625939489167556482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Котето сега е завършено, и с контурен бод даже, готово за по-нататъшната си съдба, която почти сигурно ще включва филц, а също и не е невероятно да има и присъствие на панделка, но това последното са само слухове. Една ютия преди това, естествено, няма да е излишна, но дори и в това състояние много си харесвам шарените балони. Сега като огледах композицията, осъзнах, че само два цвята са съгласно предложенията на схемата - сивото и черното.&lt;br /&gt;Последните акценти върху външния вид на котката няма да бъдат поставени още утре, за съжаление, защото се очертава зает ден - ще имаме събрание на аниме клуба :) А и обещах да изработя разни нещица за там, така че след като котката освободи мястото си за друг проект, сигурно нещо аниме ще се намърда там (разни аниме неща - имах такава точка в предварителния план!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-5797131838602228416?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/5797131838602228416/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=5797131838602228416' title='5 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/5797131838602228416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/5797131838602228416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/07/finish-it-happens-even-to-people-like.html' title='A finish!

No? Good! Neither do I, it seems! Cause since then I ended with 3 new books! But everything is absolutely explainable, I assure you.&lt;br /&gt;First, on Thursday, I was leaving Varna after the official end of the uni year. I had to go down to the centre to do some work but rain started pouring. Well, it was only natural to go somewhere and hide from the rain, right, and it only happened so that I was dangerously close to my favourite bookshop in Varna. Long story short, I went out with 2 books in hand:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KRiF111utDg/ThDCCCmQH5I/AAAAAAAABAk/vlqOV2l3BQs/s1600/scottcover_highlight.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 129px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KRiF111utDg/ThDCCCmQH5I/AAAAAAAABAk/vlqOV2l3BQs/s200/scottcover_highlight.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625209274898587538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because I've been waiting for like forever for Scot to get translated&lt;br /&gt;and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oU46D6Dvsz4/ThDCCZCJ-kI/AAAAAAAABAs/aVzMR2q4JAk/s1600/nikoga-nikyde-nikoj.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 125px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oU46D6Dvsz4/ThDCCZCJ-kI/AAAAAAAABAs/aVzMR2q4JAk/s200/nikoga-nikyde-nikoj.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625209280921205314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;And &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Neverwhere&lt;/span&gt; from Neil Geiman. Cause he's so amazing. I read him even before Coraline was out. And the moment I saw this, my greedy hands where holding it, and my weak mind was thinking " And what if the book is not available in the bookshops in Bourgas?" I guess it's still good I didn't take &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;American gods&lt;/span&gt; along! ANd I didn't put my glasses on. Imagine what other titles I could have spotted if I was with them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, as I was able to read in the bus on the way back and finished Neverwhere the same night  - 5am is still dark, so it still counts as night - and Scot too the next day, it pretty much doesn't matter, as they didn't stay unread long enough to be added to the lists, right? I'm becoming a fan of Scot, very fresh and gave me such a good laugh, and Neverwhere as even better than expected. It was just as an &lt;a href="http://instoresnow.walmart.com/uploadedImages/Food_Center/Recipes/American_Summer_2009/01_WMT_10162_1500_amerSummer_POV_370x270_BrownieIceCreamPizza_US_ENG_01.jpg"&gt;icecream pizza&lt;/a&gt; - just as yummy with sweet topping and and bitter berries here and there, and you can't stop eating, cause it's meeelting, so faster, faster, faster!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please do excuse this comparison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yesterday we were out  with mom and we walked past Helicon, the biggest bookshop in my city, and I had my nose on the glass drooling over  a bookie, not because I have no self restraint, but because it was the new series of Rick Riordan , following the adventures of the demigods!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-seSoMsXt1Lk/ThDPnqIK6eI/AAAAAAAABA0/o_54Y89bKx8/s1600/56435.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 138px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-seSoMsXt1Lk/ThDPnqIK6eI/AAAAAAAABA0/o_54Y89bKx8/s200/56435.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625224214816156130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I'm half the way through it for now, and currently loving it, and I promise I'll go back to my previously stated reading plans as soon as I read the last of those yummy pages. ANd, by the way, none of the Neil Geimans books was there! Lucky I got it while I was able, see!!&lt;br /&gt;When I came back with this book, my sister accused me that if I didn't buy all those books, I'd have enough money to buy threads and start a Haed project ( the one she liked and voted for wasn't as big as all the ususal haeds, but after checking the floss list, it left the impression that every stitch is a different colour.)&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the reason I'm saying this, is to fluently pass from the reading theme on the stitching one. While I'm still wondering about what bigger project I want to try my luck with, I've been stitching too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was planning to finish my "Kitty with balloons" tonight but seems this will be due to tomorrow. I decided I want to stitch the balloons in varigated  thread, but I had only three colours, when I needed 6. I bought the needed ones yesterday, but I still have two balloons left to stitch - for the progress picture please scroll bellow. and this reminds me that I haven't mentioned the actual name of the kitty design - it's &lt;a href="http://www.123stitch.com/pictures/04-1625.jpg"&gt;Bringing up the rear&lt;/a&gt; . As you see, I'm doing only the third kitty, because it extremely reminds me to the cat of my landlady. I kept forgetting the name, because for a long time I didn't even took the time to actually chack what it means - yeah, I didn't know and I continue to learn new words thanks to stitchng, Among the most importants ones I learnt I'd put "mojo", "frogging" and "spiffy" . And yet, when someone says they lost their mojo, I can't help buy imagine a tiny Mojo Jojo hiding behind the sofa while the person in question is searching the house for him. Yup I have one hell of imagination that in this right momment goes toward Kuroshitsuji and how I want to stitch....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway! I picked my sheep project, it's been actually waiting for some time now - it's been a love from first sigh, it's a "&lt;a href="http://www.123stitch.com/pictures/06-2853.jpg"&gt;One-sheep open sleigh&lt;/a&gt;"! I'm doing it on the purple fabric I got from Cat last year and using the dmc alternatives provided - I only decided to change one blue for Ariadna. Very, very pleasent stitch, and I giggle everytime I imagine this sheep racing in the night sky with its silhouette on the moon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what I got for now, I wish everyone a great start of the week and happy holiday to those celebrating!&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;Здрасти! Помните ли онова обещание, което направих преди един-два поста, и което даже подплатих със снимки? Не? Чудесно! Нито пък аз, както изглежда, защото от тогава се обзаведох с три нови нови книжки. Но уверявам ви, имам си много солидно оправдание.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Първо, в четвъртък си замивах от Варна и трябваше да сляза до центъра, преди да тръгна. Почна да вали и чиста случайност беше, че една от любимите ми книжарници беше най-близкото убежище. Накратко, оттам излязох с две томчета под ръка. Но! Едното беше първият том от поредицата за Скот Пилгрим, за която са се казали толкова добри неща, че от година сигурно се надявах да я преведат на български. И, о, чудо - молбите ми са чути - как да пренебрегнеш такъв знак! Граб! И освен това, Скот е комикс. Това не се брои за книга, така или иначе. Но тъй като още вали, налага се времето да се запълни. С пренебрежение успявам да подмина книгоразделителите, дори и онези, магнитните, с които колкото и да мяташ книгата, не си губиш страницата. Завой наляво, спирачка, Нийл Геймън! Достатъчно да се отключи блестяща проява на рефлекси като по Павловски. Нийл ГЕймън си го харесвам още преди да излезе филма по "Коралайн". Граб! А в мозъчето се въртят мисли от рода на "Ами ако в Бургас я няма?" Пак добре, че не излязох и с "Американски богове". Освен това, даже бях без очила. Ами, ако с тях бях засякла още някое заглавие?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Обаче, тъй като свърших "Никога, никъде, никой" (със супер готиното оригинално заглавие Neverwhere) същата вечер, защото 5 сутринта още е тъмно, а на другия ден и Скот, и тези книжки изобщо не успяха да се вместят в списъка на чакащите; смятам, че това е изключително оневиняващо обстоятелство.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Вчера пък с майка излязохме в центъра, радарите ми се задействаха и ме насочиха към витрината на Хеликон, където се кипреше първият том от новата поредица на Рик Риърдън! А по сигурна информация не е бил налице предния ден! И какво друго може да се каже освен.... слава на 10% намаление от промо чипа XD. Засега съм горе долу до половината и обещавам, че щом изгриза последната страница от това, се връщам към предишните читателски планове.&lt;br /&gt;А между другото, в Хеликона ги нямаше книгите на Нийл Геймън!&lt;br /&gt;Когато се прибрах, сестра ми ме обвини, че ако не си бях купила книгите, щях да мога да взема конците, за да започна да шия HAED. Това го казвам, за да направя плавен преход от книжната част. Докато още се чудя по HAEDския въпрос, все пак успях да поработя малко.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Накратко, котешки ъпдейт:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tEgr4e_YGcQ/ThDkcuSJFuI/AAAAAAAABA8/j0u703ejsO8/s1600/cataloon.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OClYfbERIW0/ThDlpGbFmCI/AAAAAAAABBE/PuMLwpG-7tw/s1600/cataloon.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 205px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OClYfbERIW0/ThDlpGbFmCI/AAAAAAAABBE/PuMLwpG-7tw/s400/cataloon.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625248428847372322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Всъщност, "Котка с балони" както аз го кръстих, се казва "Bringing up the rear" Реших да променя доста цветове, включително всички балони -  реших да ги направя с тези шаренки конци, но се оказа, че имам в наличност 3 цвята, а пък 6 балона, затова и завършването малко се забави, докато купя останалите.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Овчи ъпдейт:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ji2tR4enNKQ/ThDoILQq-RI/AAAAAAAABBM/8E_pqFOC7NY/s1600/sheepsleight.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 271px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ji2tR4enNKQ/ThDoILQq-RI/AAAAAAAABBM/8E_pqFOC7NY/s400/sheepsleight.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625251161745062162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;От доста време тази схема си чакаше реда. Казва се "One sheep open sleigh" и неминуемо в съзнанието ми изниква образът на шейната на Дядо Коледа, теглена от овца, силуетът отпечатан на фона на луната, и звън на чанове във въздуха. Е, в "Дядо Прас" шейната я теглеха прасета, така че не виждам никакъв проблем тази отговорна задача да се повери на някакъв друг род добитък. Според мен би изглеждало добре и с кенгурута.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Май засега това, приятна седмица на всички!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-506343884043000696?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/506343884043000696/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=506343884043000696' title='2 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/506343884043000696'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/506343884043000696'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/07/im-so-weak-minded-and-lacking-self.html' title='I&apos;m so weak minded and lacking self control'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KRiF111utDg/ThDCCCmQH5I/AAAAAAAABAk/vlqOV2l3BQs/s72-c/scottcover_highlight.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-8501300387833334195</id><published>2011-06-29T05:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-29T05:52:57.345-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='school'/><title type='text'>One sixth!</title><content type='html'>Passed the last exam of the session yesterday (it was Physics) !

But, of course, this is not the only thing I plan to do - as you can guess, I shall spare a good amount of my time to stitching and crafting too. So now I have for you some progress on the wips and also some big plans for new projects!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;В предишния пост споделих повечето от книжкие, които смятам да опитам да прочета това лято. Но, разбира се, читкането не е едниственото нещо, с което имам намерение да се занимавам - една голяма част от времето ще бъде посветена на други хобита:) И сега следва малко прогрес по wip-овете, а също и големи планове за нови проекти!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us start with...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;The Spring of Japan&lt;br /&gt;It's been almost one year after I started this and now I'm almost half the way through - 4 pages of 8, but the right side pages I'm currently stitching are slightly smaller than the left ones. The progress on this piece hasn't been very fast, but present, nevertheless. I plan to give it a little break now and concentrate on other pieces for the time being. Just let me share that I really hate metallic thread. And tiny little flowers too. I haven't checked how many of this I have on the next page, but here it is what we have  for now:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pT-DWMSu9Kk/TgZdxG3bv3I/AAAAAAAAA_g/MzRe_PxZqfo/s1600/spring4.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 292px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pT-DWMSu9Kk/TgZdxG3bv3I/AAAAAAAAA_g/MzRe_PxZqfo/s400/spring4.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622284283056734066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Най-напред разбира се да кажем за Японска пролет. Почнах я преди почти една година и засега равносметката е - почти половината. 4страници от 8, но десните страници са по малки от левите. Бавен прогрес, но все пак, прогресът си беше налице. За известно време обаче смятам да и дам почивка. Между другото нека да споделя, че се настроих отрицателно към златния конец и малките бели цветчета.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt; Kitties with baloons&lt;br /&gt;Only one kitty, acually.About half way through, and I plan to finish it till the end of the next week. For now we have a cat, and a mouse. The backstitching should make the mouse pop up more .No baloons, but I promise you, they shall come too&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AahZI1YzWbY/TgZflb1gN4I/AAAAAAAAA_o/y0XPq4rq6BM/s1600/cat.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 323px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AahZI1YzWbY/TgZflb1gN4I/AAAAAAAAA_o/y0XPq4rq6BM/s400/cat.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622286281550608258" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;После имаме котка с балони. Е, засега балони няма, има котка и мишка. Но обещавам, че и балоните ще пристигнат. Даже смятам до края на другата седмица да ги доставя. А мишката след млако контур трябва да изпъкне повече&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Next  point on the summer wish list is named "Various anime sticthing from various sites" I have my eyes on so many. I have yet to finish one of the Missy's tinies. I don't know how lame it is to post a wip on such project, but it was on the same piece of fabric as the cat, so it got scaned - why throw it away in the virtual recycle bin?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S_JWJMA9AjI/TgZg9rjp-ZI/AAAAAAAAA_w/BLTQN3RzP_U/s1600/twin%2Btinie.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 182px; height: 252px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S_JWJMA9AjI/TgZg9rjp-ZI/AAAAAAAAA_w/BLTQN3RzP_U/s400/twin%2Btinie.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622287797599205778" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Tретата точка от дневния, т.е. летния ред е озаглавена "Различни аниме неща от различни сайтове" Толкова много съм си харесала, че не знам откъде да започна. Имам за довършване още от дребната серия на Missy. Струва ми се в известна степен жалка картинка да публикувам wip на такъв проект, но беше на същото парче плат с котката, та защо да хвърлям картинката във виртуалното кошче за боклук?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those are what you can call wips. Now for the new starts I'm planning! I see everyone's rotating several big projects, and I want toooo. So I decided it can't be that scary and that I'll start some and finish them... eventually!&lt;br /&gt;I was planning to try and start a haed, but instead I picked something else in the cradt store and this is probably going to take its place - after all, let's not overdo it.&lt;br /&gt;I bought a stamped design, I wanted to try one for some time, although I found them a bit scary. I definitely think ordinary counted cross stitch is the best, but aaall of the patterns in the store were sooo boring, I only found some stamps more interesting. The one I bought, I have absolutely no idea what its name is. I call it "Pretty 20s lady with awesome hat". Actually, I have no idea if the dress design is from the twenties, and it most likely is not, but not that long ago I read that book "Twenties girl" and it's still kinda stuck in my mind. Wish me luck with this one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7-GOxR-WCbc/TgZjxpfHXOI/AAAAAAAAA_4/rm1JKdDqUMo/s1600/lady.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 292px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7-GOxR-WCbc/TgZjxpfHXOI/AAAAAAAAA_4/rm1JKdDqUMo/s400/lady.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622290889419742434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Тези дотук можеше да се нарекат уипове, или още работи в процес на... работа? А сега идва време за новите планове! По блоговете виждам как всички въртят на ротационен принцип по няколко големи проекта, и искам и ааааз ;P Реших, че не е чак толкова страшно, и че ще почна няколко...и ще ги свърша, рано или късно.&lt;br /&gt;Смятах да включа в списъка и дизайн на HAED, но взех нещо друго от магазина, което сигурно ще заеме неговото място - да не прекаляваме с амбициите все пак :D&lt;br /&gt;Взех щампа. от известно време ми се искаше да опитам, макар че ми изглеждат доста страшни. Разгадаването на символи и броенето на квадратчета по схемата определено има своята прелест, сравнено с взирането, за да разбереш това на роклята черно ли е, или онова супер тъмно сиво, което аха-аха и съвсем да премине на тъмната страна на силата. Но всички останали схеми бяха толкова скууу-чнии, само щампите бяха интересни, така че в крайна сметка взех тази. Нямам представа как се казва, аз я кръстих "Хубава дама от 20те с готина шапка" Всъщност не знам дали дизайнът съответства изобщо на двайсетте, по-скоро даже имам силни подозрения, че не е, но сравнително наскоро четох "Във вихъра на двайсетте" и това още има известно влияние. Пожелайте ми късмет с това.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I have plans for moar things!&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;I want to try my luck with one of the designs I made, converting piccus. I haven't decided wich one yet, I tried making pattern for Byakuya, Count D (Petshop of horrors), Belphegor (from the french animated series) and Cyrano de Bergerac. I LOVE all of those characters, so it will be hard to choose, basing only on love! Well, Cyrano is monochrome, and all of the rest are pretty colourfull, so... but we'll see&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Искам и да се опитам с някоя от картинките, които направих на схеми. Още не съм решила коя, правила съм на Бякуя от Блийч, на Граф Ди от Petshop of horrors, на Белфегор от френската анимация, която преди доста години май вече даваха по БНТ, и на Сирано дьо Бержерак. Всичките герои МНОГО си ги обичам, така че това няма да може да бъде критерий, по който да избера. Сирано е един цвят само като силует, а и силно се надявам скоро да го играят и в Бургас, така че тези факти може да натежат в негова полза.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt; I want to stitch an owl!

Just wanted to add that my list now contains one book less. I started "First grave on the right" still while writing that post - I just wanted to check the original English title - and then I couldn't let go till 4am. Then on the next day, first thing was to grab it, and at 2 pm I was all " Where is my next  volume!?!?!" But it's not out yet sob sob sob T____T  Good for you I can't write book reviews,  but let me tell you, I'm so calling my next plushie Reyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;П.П. Исках само да кажа, че книжният списък сега съдържа книга по малко. Започнах "Първият гроб отдясно" още докато го пишех - така, просто исках да проверя оригиналното заглавия и я отворих - и не можах да  я пусна до 4 сутринта. После на другия ден първата ми работа ми беше пак да я грабна , и в 2 следобяд вече беше фаза "Къде ми е следващия том?!?" А той още не излязъл даже... хник хник хник T____T  Добре, че не се запалвам да пиша пространствени ревюто, но ще кажа само, че определено си кръщавам следващата плюшка Рейес XD&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-7982928523260321455?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/7982928523260321455/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=7982928523260321455' title='5 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/7982928523260321455'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/7982928523260321455'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/06/now-to-share-summer-stitching-plans.html' title='Now to share the summer stitching plans :)'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pT-DWMSu9Kk/TgZdxG3bv3I/AAAAAAAAA_g/MzRe_PxZqfo/s72-c/spring4.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-2162534062452427218</id><published>2011-06-23T10:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-23T16:13:50.179-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='books'/><title type='text'>My, it's been 3 weeks since I last posted! And now I'm going to talk to you about bookies!</title><content type='html'>Where did June go? What happened to it? Well, I actually know that it got lost somehwere in the exam session, but still, it was a surprise when I checked today and realized it's been three weeks since my last post; and also, that I missed some interesting stuff that's going on the blog world, including, but not only, the IHSW. *sigh* But anyway, I have only one exam left now, and if I go through the Physics next week, I'll then proclaim the start of the summer and the freedom! :D With this in mind, I can't help, but make plans for summer activities :) and one of the essentials for a good vacation time is a kilo or two of good quality reads, right?So I had to check if I'm prepared for this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;Къде ли отиде Юни и какво стана с него... Всъщност имам вътрешна информация, че Юни се загуби някъде измежду изпитите през сесията, но все пак беше изненадващо, когато видях, че са минали три седмици от последния ми пост в блога. През това време съм изпуснала доста интересни неща, ставащи из блогосферата, включително,  но не само IHSW. Но както и да е, остава ми само един изпит, и ако другата седмица успея да се преборя с физиката, официално ще обявя начало на лятото и на свободата. С нещата така, не мога да се спра и да не правя някои планове за летни дейности. :D А едно от главните изисквания за добре прекарана ваканция е килце или две хубаво четиво, нали? Така че трябваше да проверя дали съм добре подготвена за това.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;For the sake of the order in my research, I divided bookies in several categories. First of them is &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Books I personally bought, and this means I really, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;really &lt;/span&gt;want to read them&lt;/span&gt;. Those books will be on  the frontline and take the main attack&lt;br /&gt;Most of them are included in the following picture:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YA3HxGbIzX4/TgOFo2vlaMI/AAAAAAAAA_A/sYJnGn8HAkc/s1600/CIMG1094.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YA3HxGbIzX4/TgOFo2vlaMI/AAAAAAAAA_A/sYJnGn8HAkc/s400/CIMG1094.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621483696824871106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;So here we have&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Eoin Colfer - And another thing&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Iulka - Dreamland, vol 2 - Royal blood (freedom translation of the title, since I don't know how it is translatedq if it is, in English&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Darynda Jones - First grave on the right&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt; Hugh Laurie - The Gunseller&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Joanne Harris - Runemarks&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Cassandra Clare - Mortal instruments: City of bones&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt; Cassandra Clare -The infernal devices: Clockwork angel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some books couldn't make it in the picture, main reason: couldn't find them. Those are Dan Brown's The lost symbol (that I forget in Varna), also some of the books that you may know from my Shelfari in the bootom of the page - Sister Pelagia from Boris Akunin (that I should really, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;finally &lt;/span&gt;finish, if only I can &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;find &lt;/span&gt;it, it &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;should &lt;/span&gt;be here somewhere) and Zotov's Minus Angel that's been on my reading now list for quite some time, but actually I've read only few pages of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, now, as I said, those are the primary targets&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;За целта на задачата и за нейното улеснение, заглавията разделих на групи, първата от които е &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Книги, които собественоръчно съм купила, т.е. наистина, ама &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;наистина &lt;/span&gt;искам да ги прочета&lt;/span&gt;. Тези книги са разположени на фронтовата линия и ще поемат първата четяща атака. Някои от тях бяха запечатани на снимката горе, други не успяха, но в общи линии списъкът е следният:&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Оуен Колфър - И още нещо&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt; Юлка - Страната на сънищата 2: Кралска кръв&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Даринда Джоунс - Първият гроб отдясно&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Хю Лори - Търговецът на оръжие&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Джоан Харис - Рунически знаци&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Касандра Клеър - Град от кости&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Касандра Клеър - Ангел с часовников механизъм&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Дан Браун - Загубеният символ&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Борис Акунин -Сестра Пелагия и червеният петел&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Zотов - Епидемия в рая&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Дан Браун беше забравен във Варна, а последните две просто не можах да ги намеря. Те и двете от доста време обитават Shelfari рафта на дъното на блога, книгата на Zотов под оригиналното и заглавие "Минус ангел". И двете са там от доста време, и е крайно време да продължат нататък, към раздела "Прочетени"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;The second big group contains several little ones, I gave them very clever names, like &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Books that were given to me as presents, I quite like them, but since I didn't ask for them they can wait a little&lt;/span&gt;; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Books that were given to me, but I'm not that interested in them, but they're gifts so I should at least give them a try, shouldn't I&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Books that were given to/were bought by other family members but I have my eye on them&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8KgaAc7InsA/TgOgeOkGxtI/AAAAAAAAA_I/G9X89r2yMgk/s1600/CIMG1098.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8KgaAc7InsA/TgOgeOkGxtI/AAAAAAAAA_I/G9X89r2yMgk/s400/CIMG1098.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621513201054566098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;From  the first *present* group there is only one to show you here for the momment, and this is the Soddit.  This seems to be quite an awesome parody of the Hobbit, as you may have guessed, I've read some of it, but haven't had the time to finish it&lt;br /&gt;Other bookies in the group are mostly from the bulgarian fantasy author Nikolay Tellalov.  Now here is a different reason to postpone reading those .I really loved his book To wake up a dragon, and definitelly want to read the rest of the series - it's a set of four books. But now I have the third and the forth, while missing the second, and just don't feel like skipping a whole volume and imagining what happened in there (although I'm quite good at it and don't mind doing it as a hobbie! XD) And there is one more of his, but I can't recall the name right now &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second *present* book.  Le sigh. Don't you hate it when you're given a book you just feel you're not going to like, just because it's not your type of read? I do. I've had lots of these, especially from present swaps for Christmas in school and so on. When people think just because you're a known bookworm, they can pick whatever book, be it a dictionary, or the middle book from a trilogie (that I have already), or the same book several times in a row. But I'm ok with this, because as they don't care much if I'm going to read it anyway. The worst case scenario is another: when you're handed a nicely wraped bookie with a big wide smile and the words "I'm so sure you're going to love this one! I literally couldn't set the book aside till the last page! It's absolutely awesome and I just know it's exactly your type!" And what else can you say than " Oh my, thank you! I had my eye on this title actually!" Or something in this lines. And you're left with tha guilty feeling in the back of your consciousness, the little voice that tells you that you should read that book. And every time you meet with the said person, you try to avoid the quistion "How did you like the book/ the album/ the movie, etc"&lt;br /&gt;Am I alone in this?&lt;br /&gt;In this group I have titles from Frederic Beigbeder,Jorge Bucay and Paulo Coelho. Ok, I admit, I'm not a fan of this kind of books. I know many people are, and I think this is perfectly cool, but I also estimate that the fact I am not doesn't make me worse of a reader or of a person.&lt;br /&gt;But still there is that guilty factor and the fact I usually don't like giving up on a book. Jeez, I even read Twilight.&lt;br /&gt;That's why I let only people that know me well to buy me books as presents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last third sub-group was books from the other members of the family.Here we have&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Carlos Ruiz Zafon - Marina, The Shadow of the wind and The Angel's game. They're my mothers' but I'm so reading them too. I actually wanted most The prince of the mist, but it's not even translated here. Nah.&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt; Anne Rice -The Witching hour&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Konstantin Starchev - The fourth artefact&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt; Boris Akunin - Quest. It's a book-game, mom is reading it right now and is going through all the puzzles and mysteries without checking in the back of the book. Yay, she's good! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;Втората голяма група се подразделя на няколко по малки, на които дадох умните и оригинални имена "Книги, които са ми подарили, харесват ми, но които могат да почакат", "Книги, които са ми подарили, не са мой тип, но нали са подарък, не трябва ли поне да пробвам да ги прочета?" и "Книги, подарени на/купени от други членове на семейството, на които обаче (книги) съм хвърлила оче"&lt;br /&gt;В първата група засега попадат The Soddit, с подзаглавие &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Дотам и обратно, по дяволите, къде го сложих, къде е, не мога да повярвам,трябва да съм го оставил &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Там&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Обратно до Там&lt;/span&gt;, о боже господи, и тук не е, и отново &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Обратно&lt;/span&gt;, да му се не види, ето го , през цялото време е било пред входната врата&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;А също така и всички книги, които имам на Никола Теллалов. Причината за отлагане на четенето тук е друга. Отдавна си харесвам неговата "Да събудиш драконче" и си бях решила да прочета останалите от поредицата. Но засега в наличност са ми само третият и четвъртият том, а някак си не ми се иска да прескоча събитията от цял том, не че не мога да си измисля с какви събития да го запълня и да зашия първи за трети том с бели и шарени конци XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Втора подгрупа. Въздъх. Само аз ли се чувствам страшно неудобно, когато ми подарят книга, която си знам, че няма да ми хареса? Получавала съм доста такива, особено когато сме си разменяли подаръци в училище и т.н. Някои смятат, че щом им се е паднало да подаряват на книжно плъхче, каквото и да грабнат от лавицата с книги, ако и да е речник, или случаен том от многология или пък защо не, една и съща книга няколко пъти подред, пак става. Но тъй като тях всъщност не ги интересува дали ще ти хареса книгата, е ок! По-лошият сценарий е да ти подадат старателно опакован подарък, и да ти го подадат с усмивка, с блеснали очички и с думите "Много старателно я избирах!" "Сигурна съм, че ще ти хареса!" "Обожавам я, убедена съм, че няма да можеш да я оставиш до последната страница!" и на които можеш да отговориш само с "Уау, мерси, всъщност си го бях харесала това заглавие, как позна!" или нещо подобно. И да си останеш с мътно блуждаещо чувство за вина нейде из съзнанието, което от време на време ще те гризва и ще те подсеща, че дългът повелява, noblesse oblige да отдадеш дължимото на тази книга. А при повторни срещи в продължение на години ще отбягваш старателно въпроси от рода на "А хареса ли ти... книгата/филмът/албумът " защото си важи и за останалите&lt;br /&gt;В тази група имам заглавия от Фредерик Бегбеде, Хорхе Букай и Паулу Коелю. Признавам си, че не са мой тип. Много хора наистина ги обичат, и това си е супер, но не считам, че фактът, че аз не съм сред тях, ме прави по-лош читател.&lt;br /&gt;Но, остава си онзи виновен елемент, както и това, че по принцип не обичам да оставям книги. Мдам, че аз даже "Здрач" прочетох.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Третата подгрупичка накратко съдържа&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt; Карлос Руис Зафон - Марина, Сянката на вятъра иИграта на ангела. Всъщност аз най-много исках да прочета Принцът на мъглите, но тъц, не е преведена още на български. Е, късмет. Докато я чакам, ще се пробвам с другите.&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Ан Райс - Полунощ&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Константин Старчев - Четвъртият артефакт (хихи, с автограф, е как да не се похвали човек XD)&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;gt;Борис Акунин - Куест - което е книга-игра. В момента я чете майка и без никакво затруднение минава всички загадки, без даже да прибегне до подсказките на гърба на книгата.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;The third bookie group is pictureless, because those are the titles we exchange with my best friend, Ral. I collect one series, she does others. Like example, right now I'm buying the Skulduggery pleasant series and the Diary of a Whimpy kid, and she - Rick Riordan's Kane Chronicles and Hex Hall. Saving money, and saving place. Then if the other likes it, she can buy a copy for herself - we're playing it safe! XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;Третата група е без картинка, защото това са книгите, които си разменяме с най-добрата ми приятелка. Аз събирам една поредица, тя друга. Например сега аз купувам Скълдъгъри Плезънт и Дневникъд на един дръндьо (има ли наистина такава дума, или специално са си я измислили О.о), а тя - Хрониките на Кейн на Рик Риърдън и Хекс Хол. Пестим пари, пестим място и играем на сигурно - ако и на другата и хареса книгата, чак тогава ще се обзаведе със собствено копие! XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;Aamd so this is it, for now! I think I have it for a good summer start. What else can I say - thank you if you made it through this ridiculously long post. Oh, and I wanted to introduce you to my fav teddy, who helped presenting the books - &lt;a href="http://ruskino.ru/artist/34/photo/8962.jpg"&gt;Vladimir&lt;/a&gt; (I named my bear after a character from a soap opera, so what)  is pleased to meat you all and would like to say few words:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2CFir6XoU2E/TgPBYOzK6DI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/WbnB4XBxzTg/s1600/CIMG1100.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2CFir6XoU2E/TgPBYOzK6DI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/WbnB4XBxzTg/s400/CIMG1100.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621549381922252850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Иии, това е то, засега! Мисля, че засега имам достатъчно за добър старт. Какво друго да кажа, освен да поздравя тези, които смело са стигнали до тук през този дълъг пост. А да, исках и да ви представя своя асистент, който ми помагаше в презентирането на книгите - мечо &lt;a href="http://ruskino.ru/artist/34/photo/8962.jpg"&gt;Владимир (&lt;/a&gt;да, кръстила съм си мечето на герой от сапунка, е, и?) Той искаше да каже нещо, а по-точно "Тържествено се кълна, че ще се въздържам и няма да си купувам книжки"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;Also, if you have read some of these and want to share some opinions, feel free to. Or if you want to recommend something, despite evrything said, I never mind adding another title to my Want to read list.

This time it's the main characters - Haruhi and Tamaki:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xBpgPa4CtRM/TeEgyFp2a4I/AAAAAAAAA-Y/v86fZbCsVTM/s1600/tinies.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 376px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xBpgPa4CtRM/TeEgyFp2a4I/AAAAAAAAA-Y/v86fZbCsVTM/s400/tinies.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611802655563606914" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;While I once again wished I had payed more attention when choosing colours and stitching, I'm still rather pleased with the result. Both Tamaki and Haruhi have a very high level of cuteness, especially when Tamaki is growing mushrooms when depressed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GGo3zwIeekY/S-LflziC2wI/AAAAAAAAAts/UgZXpWiURZU/s1600/tamaki+mushroom.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 182px; height: 261px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GGo3zwIeekY/S-LflziC2wI/AAAAAAAAAts/UgZXpWiURZU/s1600/tamaki+mushroom.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I'm still thinking over the option of stitching a tiny shroom to accompany him in his occasional moments of woe.&lt;br /&gt;The patterns for this couple are, as you might have guessed already, from Missy Tannenbaum's blog &lt;a href="http://dorkstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dork Stitch&lt;/a&gt;! She was quite worried about the situation and the possible tension between the FF sprites and the newcomers in their teritory. Well this is how things are for now:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z7ABmFUKtNU/TeEklb0Ty9I/AAAAAAAAA-g/7JiUYPC2XFY/s1600/CIMG1079.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z7ABmFUKtNU/TeEklb0Ty9I/AAAAAAAAA-g/7JiUYPC2XFY/s400/CIMG1079.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611806836221266898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;For now this is what I can report: with only Mori and Honey, the FFs didn't pay much attention, probably because they had the advantage of numbers. They were more preoccupied with the unfairness of the fact that Zack is stitched of blue Aida while everyone else is stuck with the pink (athough this fact can't be seen very well in the picture). But with Tamaki and Haruni showing in, who knows what's going to happen next.&lt;br /&gt;I personally think that this mostly male sprite society needs more female tinies. That's why I was planning to stitch the Sailor Scouts for some time now, but then there were the Ouran guys that I just love too much, and THEN a few days ago (or was it yesterday?) a Sebastian sprite was available! If you've watched Kuroshitsuji (and if you haven't, you should really fix this) then you will understand how for a moment I was tempted to leave aside my current stitching - which is, I'll tell you the secret - the Hitachiin twins, my favourite characers form Ouran - and start a tiny Sebastian right away!&lt;br /&gt;But for now I can't promise anything regarding the situation on the board, nor the further population. One thing I know for sure - soon I'll need a bigger board, because stitching tinies is  way too addicting. They're perfect to work a few stitches on in my pauses in studying, and still to have a visible result and not to get bored&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end of the post, I have to admit that I couldn't find the picture of the finished Bleach logo, and this is quite pissing me off. I'm not sure what I find more annoying - the fact that I can't find it even though I'm sure I took a photo, or that this is clearly a case of "Is it real if I don't blog about it"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;Tия дни, кротко и полека, се появиха още двама герои от Оуран - и то този път главните - Тамаки и Харухи. Въпреки че за пореден път ми се прииска да съм отделила повече време да избера цветовете и на изработката като цяло, пак им се радвам. Обичам си ги и двамата, особено когато в депресивен епизод Тамаки започне  да отглежда гъби. Все още обмислям дали да не му намеря и направя малка гъбка, за да го съпровожда в евентулните моменти на неволя.&lt;br /&gt;Както може вече да сте се досетили, и този път схемите са от блога на Миси Таненбаум &lt;a href="http://dorkstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dork Stitch&lt;/a&gt;. Авторката им изрази известно безпокойство относно как героите от Final Fantasy ще посрещнат тези от Оуран. Настоящето положение и подялба на земя (в случая корк) може да видите на снимката. Засега мога да докладвам само това: докато бяха само Мори и Хъни, FFтата не им обръщаха голямо внимание, може би защото бяха убедени, че имат числено превъзходство. Бяха по-заети да разнищват върховната несправедливост само Зак гордо да се перчи на син фон, докато останалите са затънали в розово, което обаче не се вижда добре на снимката. Но след като дойдоха Тамаки и Харухи, положението може да се промени.&lt;br /&gt;Аз лично смятам, че преобладавщо мъжкото общество от дребосъчета има нужда от женско присъствие, което смятах да осигуря като направя момичетата от Сейлър Муун. Този план обаче е на път за пореден път да бъде отложен (първият път бе след появата на схемите за Оуран), защото видях че вчера се е появила схема за Себастиян от анимето Курошитсуджи, печално кръстено у нас Куро суджуци след представленията на Аниплей 2009. Все още е мистерия дали суджуците бяха случаен лапсус или част от сценария, но това не променя факта, че съм заклет фен и на тази серия, и то до степен, че почти щях да зарежа близнаците, които бродирам в момента за сметка на Себастиян.&lt;br /&gt;Във всеки случай само едно нещо ми се струва сигурно - скоро ще имам нужда от по-голяма коркова дъска, защото шиенето на подобни дребосъчета е изключително пристрастяващо. Идеални са човек да направи няколко бода върху тях по време на кратка почивка от химично учене, и все пак да има някакъв видим резултат, за да не се отегчи.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;А в края на поста ще трябва да си призная, че не успях да намеря снимките на завършеното Блийч лого. Не знам кое ме дразни повече - това, че не мога да я открия, въпреки че съм сигурна, че го заснех, или фактът, че това очевидно е случай на "Ако не напиша блог за нещо, то реалност ли е било изобщо" XP&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-8391476592389713862?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/8391476592389713862/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=8391476592389713862' title='6 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/8391476592389713862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/8391476592389713862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/05/this-is-so-addicting-im-going-to-need.html' title='This is so addicting, I&apos;m going to need a bigger board soon'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xBpgPa4CtRM/TeEgyFp2a4I/AAAAAAAAA-Y/v86fZbCsVTM/s72-c/tinies.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-6588352217212095993</id><published>2011-05-23T12:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-23T14:23:19.819-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animanga'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IHSD'/><title type='text'>ISHW (mainly)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0TjcyKv_dvI/Tdq8VgAOh0I/AAAAAAAAA-Q/7w9268QUCDA/s1600/tinies.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi there!&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't much around lately, simply but becasue May turned to be quite busy! One thing that it was the last month from the term, and there were two big anime conventions going - Aniplay - the biggest cosplay event, and Bunkasai. It was lots of fun, but also quite time consuming. I won't go in details as I wouldn't want to bore you, but I'll just tell you that I have absolutely awesome photos with Reno from FF, with Kyuzo and Ukyo (stunning cosplay, that guy made it!) from Samurai 7, and with Excaibur from Soul Eater! XD And many many more photos featuring swords, hats and cosplayers we were successful to kidnap&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Between these, I managed to do some stitching, I finished the BLEACH logo, and also did a Picachu, but couldn't make a photo of it T__T It was for present too and I was in hurry. But I'll show at least the Bleach as soon as a I get over my laziness and copy the photo from my laptop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for now I wanted to show you what I did this month's ISHW hosted by Joysze on &lt;a href="http://joysze.blogspot.com/"&gt;Random Ramblings&lt;/a&gt;!. Good I was able to return to the world of blogging just in time, else I could have missed it!And that would be a pity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't feel much like working on the Spring or finishing the cat I started last month, so I just decided to stitch some more cute tinies provided from &lt;a href="http://dorkstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dork stitch&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0TjcyKv_dvI/Tdq8VgAOh0I/AAAAAAAAA-Q/7w9268QUCDA/s1600/tinies.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 306px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0TjcyKv_dvI/Tdq8VgAOh0I/AAAAAAAAA-Q/7w9268QUCDA/s400/tinies.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610003363397535554" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Here you see Mori-sempai and Honey-sempai from Ouran high school host club and Zack from FF!&lt;br /&gt;As much as I love Ouran, I really enjoyed stitching them, especially Honey's bunny!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One last thing before I go! When I came back and finally opened my blogger, I saw that a new follower joined! So hello and thanks to &lt;a href="http://vipsu2000.blogspot.com/"&gt;Virpi&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;As a goodbay and till next next time, you're welcome to play the video down there and sing the Ouran opening with me. My sister always atempts to kill me when I sing it, but I love it so!&lt;br /&gt;KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE! XD&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Здрасти, пак съм аз!&lt;br /&gt;Последният месец беше доста зает, с което се обяснява и липсата ми напоследък. Освен че май беше последният месец от семестъра, в него се насъбраха и две важни аниме събития - Аниплей в София и Бункасай във Велико Търново. Сега няма да ви отегчавам с излишни подробности, но няма как да не се похваля, че успях да си направя много страхотни снимки, включително с Рено от Final Fantasy, с Кюзу и Укьо от Samurai 7 и с Екскалибур от Soul Eater XD Както и с още много мечове, шапки и други косплеъри, които успяхме да отвлечем!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Иначе между пътуванията успях да свърша логото на Блийч и даже да направя един много сладък Пикачу. Той обаче също беше за подарък и в бързината не ми остана време за снимка. Логото обаче ще го покажа, веднага щом преборя мързела и прехвърля снимката от лаптопа си.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Иначе главната причина за днешния пост си остава IHSW, в превод официалният уикенд за заключване на всички врати и бродиране. Моят резултат се намира няколко сантиметра по-горе и в реда, в който са представени са Мори-семпай и Хъни-семпай от Ouran High School Host Club и Зак от Final Fantasy, като схемите отново са от блога &lt;a href="http://dorkstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dork Stitch&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;Тъй като много си обичам Ouran, беше и голямо удоволствие да работя върху тях, и с не по-малко желание ще довърша и останалите !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Предпоследно нещо преди да сложа край на този пост, е да кажа здрасти на новия последовател, който с изненада открих, че се е присъединил по време на дългото ми отсъствие - &lt;a href="http://vipsu2000.blogspot.com/"&gt;Virpi &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;А вече последното е поздравче - началната песен от Ouran High School Host Club, която много обичам, обаче сестра ми от своя страна обича да усоетява всеки опит да я изпълня.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="349" width="560"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kq0mCDSBgUY?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=bg_BG"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kq0mCDSBgUY?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=bg_BG" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="349" width="560"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-6588352217212095993?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/6588352217212095993/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=6588352217212095993' title='6 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/6588352217212095993'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/6588352217212095993'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/05/ishw-mainly.html' title='ISHW (mainly)'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0TjcyKv_dvI/Tdq8VgAOh0I/AAAAAAAAA-Q/7w9268QUCDA/s72-c/tinies.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-2769218045662501565</id><published>2011-04-23T14:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-23T15:20:55.134-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wip'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animanga'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IHSD'/><title type='text'>Happy Easter and other things!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-127FYa8mDww/TbNQFkqADEI/AAAAAAAAA-I/3Q-ifZEQ46Y/s1600/CIMG0632.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FwiVHNGk7_U/TbNIB50QkHI/AAAAAAAAA-A/I3hztwPfta8/s1600/CIMG0634.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x7duYzS-Gy0/TbNDj9mtaRI/AAAAAAAAA94/J0WDVDtnOds/s1600/CIMG0636.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HWQm6PcCmKg/TbNAYR1HSNI/AAAAAAAAA9w/D6QvrTxSheE/s1600/images.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lately I haven't had the time to blog at all, so some things have piled up, but let's start with the most actual one! Happy Easter everyone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HWQm6PcCmKg/TbNAYR1HSNI/AAAAAAAAA9w/D6QvrTxSheE/s1600/images.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 293px; height: 172px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HWQm6PcCmKg/TbNAYR1HSNI/AAAAAAAAA9w/D6QvrTxSheE/s400/images.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598889547598874834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Напоследък все не ми оставаше време за блога, така че се понатрупаха нещица, но нека започнем с най-важното! Христос воскресе! :) Честит Великден на всички и весело изкарване на празника!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Going back the time line, I need to show you some new starts. The most recent one is the Bleach logo from &lt;a href="http://crossstitchanime.110mb.com/WebPageOpening.html"&gt;Dawn's site&lt;/a&gt;. It's for present. I was hoping to give myself a break from the Bleach fandom, but as I couldn't come up with some else suitable, it's Bleach again, lol! The picture is from this morning, but I stitched some more, actually almost all of the blue till the end of the letters is done now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x7duYzS-Gy0/TbNDj9mtaRI/AAAAAAAAA94/J0WDVDtnOds/s1600/CIMG0636.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x7duYzS-Gy0/TbNDj9mtaRI/AAAAAAAAA94/J0WDVDtnOds/s400/CIMG0636.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598893046863063314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Връщайки се назад по времевата линия, имам два нови проекта, които започнах.. По-скорошният е логото на Блийч от &lt;a href="http://crossstitchanime.110mb.com/WebPageOpening.html"&gt;сайта на Dawn&lt;/a&gt;. Искаше ми се да си дам почивка от този фендом, но тъй като е за подарък, а не можах да измисля нещо по-подходящо, остана си Блийч :) Снимката е правена тази сутрин, но оттогава доста напреднах - почти всичкото синьо е завършено чак то H на BLEACH&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second new start is the result from the IHSW! Oh, I'm so late with this! I was planning to continue working on the Spring this month too, but I forgot this project at home. So I added another wip, and yet another present. Lol it's a long tailed cat, if you can't guess it right away!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FwiVHNGk7_U/TbNIB50QkHI/AAAAAAAAA-A/I3hztwPfta8/s1600/CIMG0634.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FwiVHNGk7_U/TbNIB50QkHI/AAAAAAAAA-A/I3hztwPfta8/s400/CIMG0634.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598897959288737906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Вторият старт е от миналия уикенд, когато за пореден месец беше IHSW т.е уикенд, теоретично посветен изцяло за бродиране... тази последната част с изцялото рядко става, но това е друг въпрос. Това също се гласи за подарък, и ако не си личи, е котка - с дълга опашка :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And last of the stitching news is the finished Toshiro!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-127FYa8mDww/TbNQFkqADEI/AAAAAAAAA-I/3Q-ifZEQ46Y/s1600/CIMG0632.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-127FYa8mDww/TbNQFkqADEI/AAAAAAAAA-I/3Q-ifZEQ46Y/s400/CIMG0632.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598906818421066818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И накрая идва още един от капитаните, този път завършен, Хитсугая Тоширо :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Аpart from the stitching,  a very belated welcome to latest follower &lt;a href="http://juco22.blogspot.com/"&gt;Juco,  who  &lt;/a&gt;I see lives in the beautifulHungary! I've been there only once, and for least than a day too, but it was striking beautiful and I hope I'll be able to visit this country again in the future!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И след разните крафтърски проекти, последно на ред идва закъсняло здрасти за последния последовател &lt;a href="http://juco22.blogspot.com/"&gt;Juco &lt;/a&gt;, която видях, че живее в красивата Унгария :) Само веднъж съм била там, и за по-малко от ден, но ми направи страхотно впечатление, много, много красива, и се надявам да мога в бъдеще да я посетя пак!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И така, весел празник!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-2769218045662501565?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/2769218045662501565/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=2769218045662501565' title='6 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/2769218045662501565'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/2769218045662501565'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/04/happy-easter-and-other-things.html' title='Happy Easter and other things!'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HWQm6PcCmKg/TbNAYR1HSNI/AAAAAAAAA9w/D6QvrTxSheE/s72-c/images.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-6013771878731484934</id><published>2011-04-02T09:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-02T09:51:39.206-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><title type='text'>It's raining outside and I'm getting more and more sleepy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5VMGAfyHZG8/TZdQoa-QnYI/AAAAAAAAA9o/0eubjYkwmMw/s1600/bunny.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I'm always sleepy to begin with &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;As a matter of fact, I didn't plan to stitch something like this this week. My plans were to do some Dork Stitch sprites, but I forgot my 14 count fabric at Varna and I didn't want to stitch on higher count and make them smaller. It's pretty annoying having stash at two places like this &amp;gt;.&amp;gt; I had a small hope that I had here a little piece of fabric, just enough to do one sprite - my last pink piece, lol, I was keeping it for Rude actually XD Anyway, giving its size it was probably hought to be scrap and now it's gone forever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this is what I stitched instead:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5VMGAfyHZG8/TZdQoa-QnYI/AAAAAAAAA9o/0eubjYkwmMw/s1600/bunny.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 328px; height: 334px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5VMGAfyHZG8/TZdQoa-QnYI/AAAAAAAAA9o/0eubjYkwmMw/s400/bunny.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591026117769207170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Back when I recieved the pretty coloured fabrics from Cat, I instantly thought that the purple is perfect for Christmas projects, and the yellow one for Easter projects! But as Easter was coming closer, I didn't feel like stitching anything like it, I even picked up too other projects to do on the yellow background. Then suddenly, while browsing the crafty blogs I came accross this shamelesly cute pattern from&lt;a href="http://syku66.blogspot.com/"&gt; Sylvia K&lt;/a&gt; !And this bunny was stitched as fast as possble. I'll probably finish it as ornament, but not this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in the end of the post, welcome to Vespa Nurse from &lt;a href="http://sisterstitchy.blogspot.com/"&gt;Sister Stitch&lt;/a&gt;! She highlighted some amazing ponies in her last post, that I had tons of fun looking at!&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;Навън все повече вали, вали, вали, а на мен все повече ми се спи, спи, спи... е казал някой неизвестен мислител от ранга на Мечо Пух. Мисля, че не е той, защото някъде в дебрите на спомените ми тази фраза се свързва с раета. Едва ли принадлежи на зебра обаче.&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;Аз си имах други планове върху какво да работя този уикенд - смятах да подхвана последната излязла мини схема на Final Fantasy от Dork Stitch, и още някои от там. Но си забравих 14 каунтовия плат във Варна, а на по дребно не исках да ги правя, защото щяха да излязат по-малки... Доста досадно е така да са ми разпилени нещата в два града, но какво да се прави &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Вместо да ушия поредния 8-битов войн, уших онзи Зайо отгоре! Още щом получих ръчно боядисаните платове от Cat и реших, че лилавия е идеален за коледни проекти, а жълтия за великденски. Но с наближаването на Великден така и не ми идваше музата за нищо великденско. Даже избрах други проекти за жълтия фон, но както си обикалях из различните крафти блогчета, съвсем случайно попаднах на този безсрамно сладък заек от &lt;a href="http://syku66.blogspot.com/"&gt;Sylvia K&lt;/a&gt;! Той бе ушит възможно най-бързо, и сигурно скоро ще бъде завършен под формата на орнаментче, но не този уикенд.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И накрая здрасти на Vespa Nurse от &lt;a href="http://sisterstitchy.blogspot.com/"&gt; Sister Stitch &lt;/a&gt;, която в последния си пост е писала и за едни страхотни понита (включително Ктхулу пони! и Люк Скайуокър пони!) , които се вдъхнових да намеря в гугъл - и си заслужаваше!

It's about national folklore dances. On Friday, there was a big party for all the classes from the club - which is called Ogledalo, meaning mirror, and is for all kinds of dances and sports. It was the first such meeting I went to, there were about 200 people and a lot of dancing :) So I thought I'd share with you some of the clips I made - since I couldné make even one decent photo. As I''m the one holding the camera, you'll just have to believe me that I was there!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Май съм споменавала, но от няколко месеца ходя на народни танци. Петъка имаше голямо събиране на всички групи с народни танци от клуба Огледало, в който ходя - бяхме около 200 души сигурно и падна голямо тропане :) Така че реших да ви покажа някои от клипчетата, които заснех, още повече, че нито една свястна снимка не стана &amp;gt;.&amp;gt; Но тъй като аз държа апарата и ме няма съответно никъде, ще трябва на доверие да ми вярвате, че и аз бях там! XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Тhis one is called Melnishko horo - this one I really like!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BxcWgg4RPEc" allowfullscreen="" width="480" frameborder="0" height="390"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Това съм доста сигурна, че е Мелнишко - това много си го харесвам.&lt;br /&gt;This one is called Graovsko horo... Our teacher is the blond girl with beige clothes, she's with no doubt the best teacher ever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mKO8frVAX2c" allowfullscreen="" width="480" frameborder="0" height="390"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Това е Граовско хоро... добре, че имаше кой да ми каже XD Че изобщо много ги бъркам. Учителката ни на танците е русото момиче с бежовите дрехи :) Най-готината инструкторка&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can't remeber the name of this one... I fail at remembering the names&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lmOfcOa34yg" allowfullscreen="" width="480" frameborder="0" height="390"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eто, и на това му забравих името...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This one we haven't learned yet, so at least I have an excuse not to remeber the name! But I really liked it and can't wait till we get to it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/d8c81nUYn-0" allowfullscreen="" width="480" frameborder="0" height="390"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tова не сме го учили още, така че поне имам извинение, да не му помня името! Но си го харесах и с нетърпение чакам да стигнем до него&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Same here - haven't studied yet, but I absolutely LOVE this one!!!  Lol I was keeping the camera down to the legs so I can learn from the video too! But I'm pretty sure that when we get to it, I won't be able to keep with the speed - I'm pretty slow &amp;gt;.&amp;lt; - and will get completely tangled!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JJJRHsga1_U" allowfullscreen="" width="480" frameborder="0" height="390"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И тук положението е същото - не сме го учили, но отсега още си го харесах!!!

And sorry for being so slow! ^^""&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third! It's not nice like the previous ones... as I see the packages with the martenichki I sent still haven't reached their destination... I was really hoping that they would do so till the end of March. When I sent them, I checked on the site of the Bulgarian post service, where was a note that packages OVER 500 gr to the USA will be slowed down for some weird security reasons. But as mine were like 50 gr, they should have been sent right away... But it seems to me that noone in the post service is actually separating the lighter from the heavier and they're sending it all the slow way &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;  I still hope that they'll arrive eventually. Next year I'll be sending them along with the Christmas cards &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warning - lots of videos in the next post! :))))&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;Сред няколкото неща за споменаване, най-напред да кажа, че Ким от&lt;a href="http://kim-demeter83.blogspot.com/2011/03/give-away.html"&gt; Sense and Stitchability&lt;/a&gt; прави гивъуейл... послучай сто поста и нова работа :)&lt;br /&gt;После здрасти на &lt;a href="http://blog.emogoth.com/"&gt;EmoGoth  &lt;/a&gt;и &lt;a href="http://stitchandsparkle.blogspot.com/"&gt;wendy111&lt;/a&gt;, които са решили да следват блога :)&lt;br /&gt;И третото не е така приятно като останалите... както изглежда, пакетите с мартенички, които пратих към Щатите в края на февруари, няма да стигнат до края на март... Когато ги пусках, проверих на сайта на Пощите и там имаше обявление, че пакети НАД 500 гр ще бъдат забавени, по причини по сигурност, останалите би трябвало да си пътуват за стандартните, някой беше казал 10 работни дни...  Тъй като моите бяха има-няма 50 гр, се надявах да стигнат преди края на месеца, защото иначе цялата мартеничкова идея съвсем се губи... но изглежда никой не си е играл да разделя на леки и тежки пакетите и всичките ги пращат наведнъж - по бавния начин... А досега бях много доволна от Български Пощи, особено от клона до нас в Бургас... хем бяха любезни винаги жените, които са ме обслужвали, хем колетите за страната пристигаха на съседния ден, за съседни страни пристигаха на третия работен ден... по далече вярно не съм пращала...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Предупреждение - в следващия пост ще има много клипчета :)))&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-1835480532644261705?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/1835480532644261705/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=1835480532644261705' title='3 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/1835480532644261705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/1835480532644261705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/03/stuffles-to-mention.html' title='Stuffles to mention!'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-281910916733233033</id><published>2011-03-23T10:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-23T11:27:51.970-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I did warn you of more of this randomness was  coming</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://istaricomics.com/files/Manga/Bride/Vol%2003/Bride_cover_03_mid.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/model_4_cover-400-site.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Because I wanted to show you the manhwa I bought too! I love the manhwa style as well, the only thing is that it's a pity it's read the "normal way" :D Reading manga in the bus from right to the left and feeling the wtf looks of the other passengers is one of the little joys of life! :P&lt;br /&gt;So I first bought one volume of a manhwa called Model. I think I've heard the title before too, but never checked it. But the art was nice, and the gothic  vampire story with a tint of Dorian Gray sounded cool too - I do like vampire stories despite  the fact i do not approve Twilight. There were 4 volumes as total, and I thought I'd check the first one, and if it's good, I'll take the rest too. Well, after reading the prologue, I was running back to the shop to buy the next 3 volumes! XD And now I'm waiting and hoping that they'll ship in the rest of the volumes too, well the last one is yet to be even printed, but I hope someday soon I'll be able to find it here too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/model_cover_01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 199px;" src="http://comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/model_cover_01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/model02-cover-400-site.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 159px; height: 227px;" src="http://comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/model02-cover-400-site.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/model-3-copy-draft-400-site.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 136px; height: 196px;" src="http://comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/model-3-copy-draft-400-site.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/model_4_cover-400-site.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 164px; height: 236px;" src="http://comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/model_4_cover-400-site.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Предупредих, че ще има и още, защото искам да покажа и манхвата, която си взех :) Харесвам корейската манхва също колкото японската манга, единственият и минус е, че се чете нормално, отляво надясно. А да си седиш в автобуса Варна-Бургас и да си четеш черно-белия комикс отдясно наляво, и съответно цялата книжка отзад напред, и да си знаеш, че човека на съседната седалка те гледа О.о ето така, си е една от малките радости на живота.  И като видях тази манхва Модел, въпреки че не знаех много за нея, си взех първото томче, тъй като готик вампирската историйка с лек привкус на Дориан Грей ми се стори интересна - аз харесвам вампирски истории, макар че определено не обичам Здрач - и реших, че ако си струва, ще ида да взема останалите три тома, които бяха налични в момента. Ами, след като прочетох пролога на първия том, и тичках да купя ;) Сега се надявам скоро да внесат и останалите. Е, последният седми том още и в Русия не е излязал, така че сигурно ще трябва да почакам.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way did I tell the best part - those manga and manhwa volumes in  Russian are about 2 or 3 times cheaper than what I can buy here in  English, and up to 5 times cheaper if I ordered it! For example, those books were about 8-9 lv each, and I've paid up to 45 lv for ove volume... It was Kaori Yuki's Godchild... yeah, I really love this series, but with these prices I just couldn't buy them all &gt;.&gt; So it's some deal! So it's a great deal! I don't mind the slightest in what language I read - well as long as I understand what it's about, lol! - and the paper and cover quality is as good or even better than the Tokyopop edidtions I have - so I can't wait for the next massive manga shopping! XD I also found out that there are Russian editions of some other series I love, including my most favourite manhwa - The Bride of the Water God. It's from another publisher although, and I saw books only by the Comic Factory. Nyaah, but hope never dies! Me wants the Brideee~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://istaricomics.com/files/Manga/Bride/Vol%2003/Bride_cover_03_mid.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 244px; height: 347px;" src="http://istaricomics.com/files/Manga/Bride/Vol%2003/Bride_cover_03_mid.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;И още едно хубаво нещо, е че руската манга е 2-3 пъти по евтина от тази, която можех досега да си купя оттук директно на английски, и до 5 пъти по евтина, ако я поръчвах.  Тези томчета ми струваха по 8-9 лева... което май е по-евтино от преведената на български манга! Във всеки случай, стига да разбирам за какво иде реч, нямам претенции относно езика. А и разбрах, че в Русия издават и най-най-любимата ми манхва, Невястата на речния бог. Първия път като четох от тази история, ми стана страшно любопитно, защото основата си е кажи-речи приказката как през сушава година пращат една девойка в долното царство. И ние си имаме такава приказка, ето и в Корея имали подобна... но тук в манхвата нещата стават доста по-интересни разбира се :) Само че това заглавие е на друго издателство... и все пак се надявам, че и то ще се появи тук!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-281910916733233033?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/281910916733233033/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=281910916733233033' title='3 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/281910916733233033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/281910916733233033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/03/i-did-warn-you-of-more-of-this.html' title='I did warn you of more of this randomness was  coming'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-5610177729710168502</id><published>2011-03-23T01:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-23T02:05:45.559-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animanga'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='books'/><title type='text'>So random</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://books.comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/psoh_vol1a.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Hi there! It's 10.20 as I'm writing this, an unbelievably early hour for me not only to surf the net, but to be out of the bed, if I have a choice, that is. But since we have a 2 ahd a half hours hole between the anatomy early in the morning, and the chemistry in 11.30, I came back home, checked all the stuff around the Internet, found out that I listened 15 times in a row to the same Backstreet boys song, which probably means, that my sister forgot to logg out of my Last.fm profile again. And then, I had the sudden urge to let you know that&lt;br /&gt;I'm surrounded&lt;br /&gt;by yummy, yummy things to read XD&lt;br /&gt;First, if you remember, I announced some time ago that I'm going hunting for pretty manga books. Thanks to a friend from the anime meetings that let me know about it, I now have almost 1/4 of the volumes they shipped from Russia, and I plan to obtain at least one more quater XD&lt;br /&gt;Now I'll show you the eye and mind candies I got :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Здравейте всички :) Часът е 10 и 20, което не е обичайното време за мен да обикалям из дебрите на блог пространството, всъщност, ако имам избор, по това време аз съм си още под завивките. Но тъй като имаме 2 и половина часа дупка между анатомията рано сутринта и химията от11 и 30, аз се прибрах, проверих каквото имаше за проверяване из интернета, открих, че съм изслушала 15 пъти една и съща песен на Бекстрийт Бойс, което най-вероятно значи, че сестра ми пак не е излязла от профила ми в last.fm.  След това ме обзе голямо желание да ви покажа вкусните неща за четене, с които съм заобиколена... и които по принцип не трябва много много да пипам XD&lt;br /&gt;:Може да се сещате, че преди време обявих, че отивам да си купувам томчета манга... благодарение на един приятел от аниме срещите, който ми каза за тях, сега се сдобих със сигурно 1/4 от доставката на книжарницата от Русия, и имам намерение в скоро време да взема поне още една четвърт!&lt;br /&gt;Мангата е японски комикс... с много жанрове и стилове като рисуване, и нещо към което аз съм открито пристрастена, но което на българския пазар по принцип доста трудно се намира... Затова сега ще ви покажа хубавите томчета, които си взех :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First is this totally mind blowing eye candy from Higuri You. Yes, I did buy this one because of the cover. I love Higuri You's art. It's called Taisho Dream Stories and is a set of short stories&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/taishe_cover_last_version_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 166px; height: 239px;" src="http://comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/taishe_cover_last_version_2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Най-напред едно томче на авторка, чийто стил много харесвам :))) Хигури Ю със сборник от къси истории, Сънища от епохата Тайшо.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next is another faivourite mangaka, with one serie I've already read and love - Akino Matsuri. It's the Petshop of Horrors serie that I absolutely love for the dark yet funny stories and the artwork too. I recieved the first volume as a present. I plan to eventually buy the whole series, but as I couldn't back then, I just left a huge mass of dark energy in front of the bookshelf in order to scare away everyone from my precious manga. Next is Night Exile, a manga I had my eyes on since some time, but never actually read it. But it's Akino Matsuri again so I'm sure it will be more than worthy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://books.comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/psoh_vol1a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 169px; height: 251px;" src="http://books.comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/psoh_vol1a.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://books.comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/psoh_vol2a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 252px;" src="http://books.comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/psoh_vol2a.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/ne_cover-1-400.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 162px; height: 234px;" src="http://comics-factory.ru/wp-content/uploads/ne_cover-1-400.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;После идва друга мангака, която много харесвам, и една поредица, която вече съм чела и обичам - Акино Мацури с Petshop of horrors, което заглавие е по-добре да си остане непреведено, защото в противен случай звучи повече абсурдно, отколкото страшно... Но така или иначе много харесвам тази поредица - и като рисунък, и като истории - хем страшничко, хем на места те разсмива :)  Първия том получих като подарък, купих втория, а имам мераци и за останалите. Тъй като не можах да взема на момента, засега съм оставила маса тъмна енергия пред щанда с книгите, за да гони всички от скъпоценните ми томчета... Мухаха }:)  И още един том от Акино Мацури - Нощен изгнаник - която манга не съм чела, но подозирам, че ще си струва&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Сегаа имам още да ви отегчавам с подобно изреждане, но ето, че вече е 11 часа и имам да бързам за химия... но после имам два часа дупка и между химията и социалната медицина, така че кой знае... XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I have yet more to bore you with stuff like this, but it's 11 already and I should hurry for my chemisrty. But don't worry, I have a hole between the chemistry and the social medicine later this afternoon, so who knows XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-5610177729710168502?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/5610177729710168502/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=5610177729710168502' title='3 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/5610177729710168502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/5610177729710168502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/03/so-random.html' title='So random'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-4654174009894472609</id><published>2011-03-22T12:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-22T12:42:52.218-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A yummy giveaway going</title><content type='html'>There is a &lt;a href="http://measi.net/rhodystitchers/?p=122"&gt;Sping Giveaway on Rhode Island Stitchers&lt;/a&gt; that is absolutely delicious !

I worked on Spring in Japan, and I haven't touched this piece since last months Hermit and Stitch. So..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dLsDYcUUOPM/TYZOFq9N6rI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/1FaE-QlLgTg/s1600/japanese%2Bspring.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 292px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dLsDYcUUOPM/TYZOFq9N6rI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/1FaE-QlLgTg/s400/japanese%2Bspring.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586238247137045170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ta-dam! The fourth page is almost done! I started stitching on Friday and kept it through the weekend. Colourwise, it was fun to stitch, since some new colours popped up, or some I have used only a little. But there was a lot of metal thread to work with, which I don't like at all.&lt;br /&gt;Since I know myslef, I can say that I'll pick up this piece again during the next IHSW XD But for the nest time, I see this page finished!&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to make this a longer post, but I think I should rather check again the stuff I have for tomorrow. We have Friday off in our week schedule, but the first three days are hell &gt;.&gt; So one last thing - I wanted to say hello to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://therapy-by-thread.blogspot.com/"&gt;Blu from Therapy by thread!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've seen this cute kitty avatar before, but somehow missed clicking on it, what a shame! XD&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;И така, дойде края на поредни International Hermit and Stitch уикенд, който насърчава хората да превъртят два пъти ключа в ключалката и да си останат на топличко да работят цял уикенд върху някой проект, а после гордо да покажат резултата. И аз си стоя, с чаша зелен чай, защото черният свърши, който беше горещ, когато пишех първите редове на английски, в момента е топличък, а надявам се, докато свърша да пиша, ще е изпит; и гордо ви показва прогреса си на Японската пролет. Който си е забележим, нали? :D Не бях работила на него от предния IHSW, почнах в петък и ших през уикенда. И ето че четвъртата страница е почти завършена :)&lt;br /&gt;Изкушението да пиша още глупости е голямо, но като знам колко ми е натоварена програмата за първите три дни от седмицата - за сметка на петъка, който е свободен - и май ще се въздържа. Исках само последно да кажа здрасти на &lt;a href="http://therapy-by-thread.blogspot.com/"&gt;Blu  от Therapy by thread &lt;/a&gt;, чийто сладък котешки аватар съм виждала и преди, но някак си все съм пропуснала да кликна върху него.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И с това казано, приятна седмица на всички :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-6039336892739585577?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/6039336892739585577/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=6039336892739585577' title='8 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/6039336892739585577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/6039336892739585577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/03/hermit-and-stitch-day-results.html' title='Hermit and Stitch day results!'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dLsDYcUUOPM/TYZOFq9N6rI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/1FaE-QlLgTg/s72-c/japanese%2Bspring.jpg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-4325438099294989855</id><published>2011-03-13T04:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-13T05:08:59.413-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wip'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animanga'/><title type='text'>Next Bleach chibi - sketch!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xv893Qx_UD4/TXyw3xhz3rI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/lSIjfkFKAJI/s1600/CIMG0576.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or what is the equivalent of sketch when it comes to stictching! As ususal, it seems that it took me way longer to make a photo, that to stitch, but anyway, here is what I'm currently working on!&lt;br /&gt;This is not the best photo either, but as you can see, it's Hitsugaya taichou in progress!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xv893Qx_UD4/TXyw3xhz3rI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/lSIjfkFKAJI/s1600/CIMG0576.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xv893Qx_UD4/TXyw3xhz3rI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/lSIjfkFKAJI/s400/CIMG0576.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583532110267014834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a chance some of you remember that I said I'm going to try my luck with Ichigo next. Even if there is more than one reason to love and want to stitch Hitsugaya, I was really going to pick Ichigo or Renji. Then why this sudden change of heart - but why, cause I'm cheap as you know, and Hitsugaya uses the exact same colours as Byakuya , + one, while the bright hairs of Ichi and Renji would mean more thread buying! XD&lt;br /&gt;And as I'm planning to go and buy a bunch of manga right now, this would better not be happening, lol&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;И ето го скеча на новото чиби, или каквото там може да се приеме като еквивалент на скеч, когато става дума за бродиране... :D Както обикновено, отне повече време да направя снимка, отколкото всъщност работих върху него...  Но така или иначе - това е следващият капитан, Хитсугая!&lt;br /&gt;Ммм, някой евентуално може да си спомня, че се заричах да почна друго чиби... Въпреки че има много причини човек да харесва ХИтсугая, и да иска да си го има от плът... т.е. от плат и конец, наистина се канех да почна Ичиго или Ренджи. Внезапната промяна на курса се дължи на факта, че Хитсугая използва съвсем същите конци като Бякуя, плюс още един. А ярките червени коси на другите двама кандидати щяха да наложат купуването на нови цветове....&lt;br /&gt;А тъй като само след час смятам да ида и да си взема няколко нови лъскави томчета манга, това ще е по-добре да не се случва!

Ain't he? ^____^&lt;br /&gt;The pattern for this piece of cuteness, as well as many others comes from Awenmir's &lt;a href="http://superstitch.110mb.com/"&gt;Superstitch&lt;/a&gt; site!&lt;br /&gt;So as you can see, I stitched my favourite Gotei 13 captain! This time for change I used all the right colour numbers - it is stitched with 7 different shades if gray! O.o Omg I stitched with 7 different shades of gray and I'm seeing 3 or 4 at most! XP&lt;br /&gt;Mom said he looked sad and hungry. But this was before I finished it, so I hope he looks happier in colour now, or at least as close to the happy face as Kuchiki Byakuya can be.&lt;br /&gt;There is a high possibility for hime to finish as a pillow, because I want to HUGGLE him! XD&lt;br /&gt;I plan to stitch more Bleach chibis, but haven't decided which one I'll start next.  After all, with all those grays, I hope to stitch more shinigami uniforms, lol. Maybe next will come Ichigo - he's the main chara after all, but we'll see!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/54XteeVSjrg" allowfullscreen="" width="480" frameborder="0" height="390"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;E, не е ли сладък? Не е ли? *W*&lt;br /&gt;Схемата за това чиби, както и за много други, идва от сайта на Awenmir &lt;a href="http://superstitch.110mb.com/"&gt;Superstitch&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;И така, най-накрая си уших любимия капитан от Готей 13. Този път за разнообразие използвах точно конците, както си бяха по списък. Имаше 7 нюанса на сиво О.о Използвах 7 нюанса на сиво, а сега виждам 3, 4 в най-добрия случай! XP&lt;br /&gt;Мама каза, че Бякуя и изглеждал тъжен и гладен. Но това беше преди да го запълня цялото с цвят. Надявам се сега да изглежда по-доволен от положението.&lt;br /&gt;Има голяма вероятност това да го завърша като възглавничка, че да мога да си го гушкам ^__^ Смятам да продължа да шия още от Блийч чибитата, но още не съм решила кое ще е следващото.

Те от своя страна също имаха какво да предложат :) Трябва да призная, че ми се купуват още! XD Сред тези са и мартеничките, за момичетата, които казаха, че биха желали да получат по една от мен - но е тайна кои са ;P А дръвчето го купихме със сестра ми за кабинета на мама. Имаше наистина много красиви подобни дръвчета -май предни години не бях виждала подобен артикул. И при нас имаше свитъчета с първомартенски пожелания, но съвсем мънички - всъщност едно такова не е успяло да се хване на снимката - вижда му се само поставчицата  - горе, малко по вдясно от средата. ИНаче беше с калинка отгоре. Имаше и с щъркелчета, а също и стъклени бутилчици с пожелания. :D Наистина, ако не беше такъв студ, доста повече време щях да прекарам да оглеждам сергиите - но и толкова ни стигаха да станем на ледени шушулки и да подгизнем в снега. А горките продавачи на сергиите мога само да съжалявам :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И накрая да кажа здрасти на &lt;a href="http://flossybobbin.blogspot.com/"&gt;Flossy&lt;/a&gt;, която също има блог, който си струва да бъде посетен ;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-3158448987845114862?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/3158448987845114862/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=3158448987845114862' title='2 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/3158448987845114862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/3158448987845114862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/02/shopping-for-martenichki-today.html' title='Shopping for martenichki today!'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IxP_A5Ey85Y/TWlZoSm54zI/AAAAAAAAA8Q/T-MSvRop7Y0/s72-c/CIMG0534.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-4444638942600862130</id><published>2011-02-24T14:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-24T15:18:29.118-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cooking'/><title type='text'>Hellos and something you haven't seen from me up till now XD</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RjRqgnJ1VDY/TWber1LOPSI/AAAAAAAAA8A/bRJ7Vtft59g/s1600/CIMG0458.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First again - sorry for the bad quality picture on the winner post - maybe it got some people confused. As you see it drew the number 2 from my list - in my list the first 3 places went to Netty (the first commenter + extra entry for following + extra entry for spreading the word) next places for the second commenter and etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second! I want to say hello and thanks to the two new followers -&lt;a href="http://lisavslounge.blogspot.com/"&gt; Lisa V&lt;/a&gt; and Scully236. Again I can't see through Blogger if she has a blog or not, but anyway thanks and welcome to both of you :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third! The thing you haven't seen from me up till now, lol! I've been in cooking mood lately (this is the time to say that in general I fail at cooking) but I found a cooking site I really loved and decided to give some recepies a try! Look what I managed to do&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RjRqgnJ1VDY/TWber1LOPSI/AAAAAAAAA8A/bRJ7Vtft59g/s1600/CIMG0458.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RjRqgnJ1VDY/TWber1LOPSI/AAAAAAAAA8A/bRJ7Vtft59g/s400/CIMG0458.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577390033134828834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;And it actually tastes good! XD I'm amazed by myself, lol!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And forth! The forth thing is consisted by few things, do you follow? XD 1) I've seen some post crossing sites and blogs and all of it seems so cool, although way to complicated for me ^^'' 2) 1st of March is coming! 3) So the question is, do you want me to send you a martenichka? (you may want to check my old &lt;a href="http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2009/03/march.html"&gt;post &lt;/a&gt;or &lt;a href="http://www.google.bg/images?q=%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B8&amp;amp;um=1&amp;amp;hl=bg&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla:bg:official&amp;amp;sout=1&amp;amp;tbs=isch:1&amp;amp;ei=buJmTdi6E9DxsgaS16X0DA&amp;amp;sa=N&amp;amp;start=0&amp;amp;ndsp=18&amp;amp;biw=1366&amp;amp;bih=576"&gt;Google &lt;/a&gt;) While it definitelly won't get to you on 1st of March, I still think giving and receiving untill the end of the month is absolutely acceptable! So drop a word if you're interested ;P&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Първо нещо в списъка на дневния ред :D За картинката на предния пост, която уж трябваше да е разясняваща, а вместо това обърка победителката ^^ Правилно показва 2 - това е второ място в списъка със заявки за участие - в него първият коментиращ фигурираше с три участия (коментар, следване и постване за кендито), следващите няколко за втория и т.н. ^^"" Съжалявам, ако съм те объркала, Нети!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Второ! Исках да кажа здрасти на новите последователи - &lt;a href="http://lisavslounge.blogspot.com/"&gt;Lisa &lt;/a&gt;V и Scully236 . За съжаление блогспот пак ми прави проблеми, както непрекъснато напоследък всъщност, и не мога да видя дали Scully има блог :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Третото нещо е това, което досега не се е появявало на този блог. Последната седмица нещо ме прихвана да правя готварски експерименти, пък и намерих накрая сайт с рецепти, който да ми харесва, и реших да пробвам някои. Вече видяхте какво стъкмих :D Получи се изненадващо ядивно, че и на вид се докара. Тия нещица в рецептата се казваха Чатал Таклъсъ, и според мен имат вкус на толумбички, макар че в коментарите към рецептата да обясняваха защо се различават ^^''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Четвъртото нещо се състои от няколко неща! Слушайте внимателно, няма да повтарям (но затова пък колкото пъти искате може да си го препрочетете XD Напоследък гледах Ало, ало, ако не си личи) - 1) Започнах да следя някои блогове, които се занимават с post crossing, което ми се струва страшно интересно и вълнуващо, но все пак доста сложно за някой като мен ^^ 2) Идва първи март!!! 3) Искате ли да ви пратя мартеничка? Но не ръчно изработена, пък и е ясно, че до първи март няма да пристигне. Но аз смятам, че е напълно допустимо да подаряваш и получаваш мартенички чаак до края на месеца :P И така, ако искате, кажете :D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-4444638942600862130?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/4444638942600862130/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=4444638942600862130' title='6 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/4444638942600862130'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/4444638942600862130'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/02/hellos-and-something-you-havent-seen.html' title='Hellos and something you haven&apos;t seen from me up till now XD'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RjRqgnJ1VDY/TWber1LOPSI/AAAAAAAAA8A/bRJ7Vtft59g/s72-c/CIMG0458.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-1076582496299556388</id><published>2011-02-24T12:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-24T12:37:40.625-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='giveaway'/><title type='text'>The winner!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JHZMp8XVY2A/TWa9ZkyRaoI/AAAAAAAAA74/bHTGeM3zw-U/s1600/winner.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without further delay, I'll just announce the winner of my little giveaway!

This is the time to thank her and also &lt;a href="http://blackmageheart.wordpress.com/"&gt;Blackmageheart &lt;/a&gt;from the In the hand blog for deciding to follow me! Both of their blogs are full of absoluite awesomeness, so I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun reading them too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next to the actual update - to be honest, this was one of the most non-hermit weekends for me. This weekend was the first birthday of the anime club I joined, and a party was held. It was pretty cool (literally too 0 by some time I thought I was freezing, lol!) with a yummy blue cake and the most delicious home made sushi I've ever eaten. It was a nerdy-geeky party maybe, with lots of computer game playing - but I didn't, because I'm fail at it! - Yu-gi-oh cards and for me - some BLEACH! At some time with few girls we decided to practice our dancing skills with sirtaki XD and some other bulgarian dances (while they were listening rock and metal on the first floor) and we even though sirtaki to some of the boys! It was pretty awesome, especially the WTF faces of everyone who came in the room!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, end of the off topic - I worked on two projects, although I'm not sure if this was allowed.&lt;br /&gt;A few stitches on the Spring:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SgcNfFbDB1s/TWGA84X-MpI/AAAAAAAAA7o/b_zIkPtXM4A/s1600/CIMG0454.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SgcNfFbDB1s/TWGA84X-MpI/AAAAAAAAA7o/b_zIkPtXM4A/s400/CIMG0454.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575879597074821778" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And some more visible progreess, but on a tiny project - I started stitching a biscornu for the girl who gave me those cake and keycahin. Her birthday is in the end of the week.  Please scroll down to see it!&lt;br /&gt;I'll go and see what everuone else did in their hermit day probably tomorrow!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And also don't forget the giveaway I'm holding one post back :D&lt;br /&gt;~~~~&lt;br /&gt;Този път реших да се включа в International Hermit and Stitch Day, организиран от &lt;a href="http://joysze.blogspot.com/"&gt;Joyce&lt;/a&gt;. Тук трябва да благодаря на нея и на &lt;a href="http://blackmageheart.wordpress.com/"&gt;blackmageheart&lt;/a&gt;, че са решили да следват блога ми. Аз самата ще следя техните с удоволствие!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Всъщност този уикенд беше доста по оживен за мен от бикновено, но все пак успях да свърша малко работа. Вчера беше партито послучай първия рожден ден на аниме клуба, към който се присъединх преди няколко месеца - но още съм newbie ;D Беше си страхотно, макар че по някое време ми стори, че става и минусово. Имаше голяма синя торта с емблемата на клуба, и най-вкусното домашно суши, което съм яла. Беше си geek парти, с компютърни игри - на които аз обаче не се пробвам, че и без друго не ме бива, дългочасови дуели с карти Ю-Ги-О, и специално за мен - БЛИЙЧ :D По едно време с няколко момичета ни хрумна да опитаме танцувалните си умения и се усамотихме в една стая да играем сиртаки и право хоро (защото за елениното така и не достигнахме консенсус как беше XD) около дуелиращите се с карти,  под звуците на метъла и рока, които се чуваха  от стаята отдолу :DDD Даже научиха няколко момчета как се танцува сиртаки, а мен се опитаха да ме научат на самба. Най-безценно беше  WTF O.o изражението на всеки, който отвореше вратата XXD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Но дотук с офф топика - успях да направя няколко бода на Пролетта, а също така поработих и върху бискорнюто, което правя за Теди - колежката, която ми подари кексчето и ключодържателя. Нейният рожден ден е в края на седмицата&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nt44XKW97uk/TWGEk2ZcxLI/AAAAAAAAA7w/O0_SpIlMwMk/s1600/CIMG0457.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nt44XKW97uk/TWGEk2ZcxLI/AAAAAAAAA7w/O0_SpIlMwMk/s400/CIMG0457.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575883582273799346" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И не забравяйте кендито ;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-4351998775016173626?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/4351998775016173626/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=4351998775016173626' title='3 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/4351998775016173626'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/4351998775016173626'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/02/hermit-and-stitch-day.html' title='Hermit and Stitch day!'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SgcNfFbDB1s/TWGA84X-MpI/AAAAAAAAA7o/b_zIkPtXM4A/s72-c/CIMG0454.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-3850896912642555845</id><published>2011-02-17T15:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-17T15:44:25.053-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recieved gift'/><title type='text'>Thankies!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-msG8170gsQk/TV2x1tE2qWI/AAAAAAAAA7U/KoSBrgs9kcc/s1600/CIMG0342.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First thankies and welcome to a new follower, Emma Lenton! I couldn't find out if she has a blog or not (blogger is like this sometimes) but if so, I'd really like to follow too! While trying to figure this out, I somehow became follower of my own blog, which is quite stupid and should be fixed, lol ^^''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Най-напред благодаря и добре дошла на новия "последовател" Emma Lenton! Не можах да разбера дали тя има блог, а ми се иска да последвам обратно. Но в процеса станах последовател на собствения си блог, което е доста глупаво и ще трябва да го оправя ^^''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second thanks to everyone who entered the little giveaway I'm holding! There's about one week left, so I hope some more people might decide to join! So don't forget the giveaway going &lt;a href="http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/02/giveaway.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Вторите благорадя са за всички, които досега се записаха за подаръчето! Остава малко по-малко от седмица, така че се надявам още някой да се включи! Ако има такъв проявяващ желание някой, то нека надникне &lt;a href="http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/02/giveaway.html"&gt;тук &lt;/a&gt;да види наградката и да се запише :)))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the last is not exactly a thanks, since I've already thanked personally and she's not reading my blog, but I just HAD to show you the awesome handmade birthday gifts my friend from the university Tedi, or &lt;a href="http://bugubu.deviantart.com/"&gt;BuGuBu &lt;/a&gt;on DA! Ain't the cupcake charm the curtest! And the keychain just screams to me "Senbonzakura!"XD (I'm actually working on her birthday present now, but shhh, don't tell her!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-msG8170gsQk/TV2x1tE2qWI/AAAAAAAAA7U/KoSBrgs9kcc/s1600/CIMG0342.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-msG8170gsQk/TV2x1tE2qWI/AAAAAAAAA7U/KoSBrgs9kcc/s400/CIMG0342.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574807449945680226" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;И последното не е точно благодарене, а си е мисто хвалене! Още повече, че колежката от университета - Теди, или &lt;a href="http://bugubu.deviantart.com/"&gt;BuGuBu в DA  &lt;/a&gt;не чете блога ми, но просто ТРЯБВАШЕ да се похваля с подаръчетата, които тя ми изработи за рождения ден!! Това не е ли най сладкото кексче, което сте виждали? А като видях дръвчето на ключодържателя, първата ми мисъл беше "Sembonzakura"XD&lt;br /&gt;(Всъщност в момента работя върху подаръка за нейния рожден ден, но шшшш, не и казвайте!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-3850896912642555845?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/3850896912642555845/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=3850896912642555845' title='4 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/3850896912642555845'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/3850896912642555845'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/02/thankies.html' title='Thankies!'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-msG8170gsQk/TV2x1tE2qWI/AAAAAAAAA7U/KoSBrgs9kcc/s72-c/CIMG0342.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-5579264845165062082</id><published>2011-02-13T12:22:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-13T13:02:41.127-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='giveaway'/><title type='text'>Giveaway!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7JUSRfGn33c/TVhDbve1fFI/AAAAAAAAA7M/s-pKK2siY9w/s1600/CIMG0327.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nGw1UTSiUlk/TVg-HZZC7iI/AAAAAAAAA7E/Ryl542N9FOQ/s1600/CIMG0326.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nGw1UTSiUlk/TVg-HZZC7iI/AAAAAAAAA7E/Ryl542N9FOQ/s400/CIMG0326.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573272835666931234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Well, actually this is my own attempt of making a giveaway! ^^""It doesn't have a special reason behing it, because since I started making the stuff, so many "special reasons" have passed by! You have no idea how long ago I made the first stitch on the biscornu with the idea of holding a giveaway, and I'm not gonna tell you, cause I'm way too ashamed! Anyway, I better keep this trivia all for myself, yes?&lt;br /&gt;So you'll get&lt;br /&gt;- a set of a biscornu, scissor fob and a box, stitched with a traditional bulgarian motfs (better view on the biscornu below)&lt;br /&gt;-aromatic candle (coconut and hazlenut) and soap (sea)&lt;br /&gt;-pack of brads and ribbons and set of rubb-on roses&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried to keep it rather "neautral"because I hope both stithers and other crafters may be interested in enetering! And how to enter = the classic way - comment here saying you want to enter; if you are/become a follower, it's a second entry, and if you post about the giveaway, that's a third! You can use one of the pictures in your post if you want, but you don't have to :)&lt;br /&gt;It'll be open for ten days, that to say the drawing will be on 24th. I hope you'll join! I also hope my sister won't eat the candle, because she's been shiffing it all the time since I bought it. How full of hopes am I.&lt;br /&gt;P.S My stitchy vacation is over - tomorrow starts the second term! But I hope I'll find now and then some time for a couple of stitches. Have a nice week!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7JUSRfGn33c/TVhDbve1fFI/AAAAAAAAA7M/s-pKK2siY9w/s1600/CIMG0327.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7JUSRfGn33c/TVhDbve1fFI/AAAAAAAAA7M/s-pKK2siY9w/s400/CIMG0327.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573278682752318546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Всъщност това е моят личен опит за giveaway или както още видях, че го наричат, блог кенди. Няма определена причина за него, защото откакто запчонах да работя върху наградката с мисълта, че ще правя кенди, се изнизаха доста "специални причини". Няма да са призная кога започнах! XD Но дотук с тривиата - кендито се състои от&lt;br /&gt;-комплектче бискорню, украса за ножички - видях някъде го бяха нарекли котвичка за ножички, което много ми хареса - и кутийка, украсени с мотиви по български шевици&lt;br /&gt;-Ароматна свещичка (кокос и лешник) и сапунче (морско)&lt;br /&gt;-и коплект брадс и панделки и лист rubb-on стикери&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Опитах се да е по-неутрално и да няма само шивачески материали, с идеята да подмамя и други крафтъри! XP&lt;br /&gt;Уславията за участие са стандартните каквито видях на подобни мероприятия (честно, опитах се да измисля нещо по-оригинално, но не успях^^'' ) - коментар с желание за участие - веднъж, втори път - ако сте или станете последовател, и трети път ако споменете между другото някъде за моето кенди ;) Може ако искате да ползвате картинката. Ще оставя кендито за 10 дни, т.е. до 24 . Надявам се да участвате! (а също се надявам сестра ми да не изгризе свещта, защото ги оставих насаме в Бургас, а тя само обикаляше да я души XD)&lt;br /&gt;P.S. Свърши се моята крафтърска ваканция! Понеделник почва втория семестър. Но се надявам и през него от време на време да намирам малко време&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2597263763815265690-5579264845165062082?l=topchochan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/feeds/5579264845165062082/comments/default' title='Коментари за публикацията'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2597263763815265690&amp;postID=5579264845165062082' title='9 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/5579264845165062082'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2597263763815265690/posts/default/5579264845165062082'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topchochan.blogspot.com/2011/02/giveaway.html' title='Giveaway!'/><author><name>Topcho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00417901742040467894</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/S0DxSECiVkI/AAAAAAAAAfY/j1scNY_v_OM/S220/stealth.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nGw1UTSiUlk/TVg-HZZC7iI/AAAAAAAAA7E/Ryl542N9FOQ/s72-c/CIMG0326.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597263763815265690.post-5012609518315008430</id><published>2011-02-12T18:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-12T18:18:46.970-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cross stitch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animanga'/><title type='text'>You may be tired of me posting every other day...</title><content type='html'>But first, I wanted to say welcome to a new follower, Anoodle from &lt;a href="http://anoodle.blogspot.com/"&gt;Doodles and Dreams&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;And second: I know I said I'll have a break from stitching FFVII sprites, but today I thought it'd be just mean to leave only Cloud like this, when all of the others are done.

Kadaj! Today a new dose of FFVII has arrived on the &lt;a href="http://dorkstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dork Stitch&lt;/a&gt; blog!!! You can bet that got me excited! I was planning to show you today a finish of Gin or my new start of a Bleach chibi, but I couldn't help myself. I left my Byakuya (!!) start and had to try my luck with Kadaj&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/TVHmHHXJtxI/AAAAAAAAA6c/ZmLK3vfp7Qk/s1600/kad.jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 231px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hPxC0VmIiJM/TVHmHHXJtxI/AAAAAAAAA6c/ZmLK3vfp7Qk/s400/kad.jpg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571487223943640850" border="0" /&gt; &lt;/a&gt;... but I have to  admit I kinda failed with the colours on this one. To be honest, while stitching these sprites, I never, even once, checked the actual colour numbers and just randomly picked some thread from my box. For now it worked wonderfully well. For the Kadaj pattern, that asks for 5 colours, I used 5 thread brands - black from Puppets, face colour from a bulgarian brand, and grays DMC (the hair - it was the actual number, lol!) Anchor and Ariadna. But it wasn't a nice shot. The grays on the coat are blending together, and the face kinda got that delicious melon color. I don't know yet, maybe I'll redo it tomorrow, especially if after a good night sleep my arms stop hurting.&lt;br /&gt;In any case, be sure that Kadaj will have his border. Why? Bah, do I need a reason to cage a bishie?&lt;br /&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;То има двама нови последователи и то иска да им каже голяямо благодаря :D&lt;br /&gt;Голямоото благодаря отива при Star от  &lt;a href="http://stardrifter.blogspot.com/"&gt;drifting drifting&lt;/a&gt; и  Con Queso от &lt;a href="http://conquesoqueso.blogspot.com/"&gt; Cross stitch and game blog&lt;/a&gt;!!&lt;br /&gt;И тъй като не обичам да пиша блог пост, без да сложа някоя картинка да е по-пъстричко, този път ще ви покажа Кададж! За днес смятах да показвам как завърших Гин, или новото Блийч чиби, което почнах, но щом видях, че на блога &lt;a href="http://dorkstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dork Stitch&lt;/a&gt;  e пристигнала нова доза от Final Fantasy, зарязах започнатия Бякуя (!!) и се пробвах с Кададж!&lt;br /&gt;Обьче този път нещо не налучках цветовете. Трябва да призная, че докато правех предишните, нито веднъж не погледнах истинските номера на цветовете, а просто си избирах някакви от кутията с конци, и тази тактика работеше доста добре засега. За Кададж, за когото са нужни 5 цвята, в употреба влязоха 5 марки конци, от които изненадващо DMC-то беше истинският номер. Но със сивите не уцелих, защото се сливат, а и нещо цветът на лицето подозрително напомня зрял пъпеш.
