NATURES WONDERFUL GARDEN

NATURE’S WONDERFUL GARDEN

Nature’s wonderful garden in display
display of autumn colours in array
array of beauty to share in delight
delight of birds in a picturesque sight.
Sight of swans as they fly above the ground
ground that is covered by leafs as if gowned
gowned by a blanket of colourful hue
hue of earth moistened by a misty dew.
Dew that reflects sunlights shimmering light
light that wakes up into a morning bright
Bright is the dawn as a new day ascends
ascends to where the earth and heaven blends.
Nature and seasons in a divine bliss
bliss of life and beauty to reminisce.

A plant crochet "Passion Purple".

Growing purple passion houseplants (Gynura aurantiaca) offers an unusual

and attractive houseplant for the brightly lit indoor area. The young purple passion plant has velvety leaves; thick, deep purple hairs on a green colored leaf and a cascading habit, making it perfect for an inside hanging basket. Purple passion houseplants have been used for indoor decoration for more than 200 years and grow wild in some southern areas. Purple passion plant stands out from other houseplants because its green leaves are covered in soft purple hairs, giving the plant a purple sheen (and it's the source of the plant's other common name: velvet plant). Purple passion plant has an upright habit when it's young, but becomes more spreading and almost vine-like as it matures. This makes it fun in hanging baskets, as well as trained up small trellises.

My latest work "Passion Purple".

Made for very good person.

Thank you author for pattern.

Yin & Yang crochet

This Simbol(Yin-Yang) represents the ancient Chinese understanding of how things work. The outer circle represents "everything", while the black and white shapes within the circle represent the interaction of two energies, called "yin" (black) and "yang" (white), which cause everything to happen.

Drakonchik - A little dragon

I am not good at sewing.
Inspirit by this dragon, I saw my first toy.

A dragon is a legendary creature, typically with serpentine or reptilian traits,

that features in the myths of many cultures.

Pattern Of Doily "3 Wishes"

Hello everyone!

I made a pattern for this doily .

3 doilies in one doily

“I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention . . . arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.”
― Agatha Christie, An Autobiography

 

I wanted to make doily. I could not decide which one of 3 doilies and I was lazy to make 3.
However, I decided to take one part of each doily which I liked to make one.
 "Laziness run in front of us" old saying  :)
That how I made this doily, therefore, I decided to name 3 in 1.

Made from 100% cotton yarn.

Hook 1.65mm

I have some pattern of it.

 

Autumn

Leaf

Floating down with grace and ease
Carried off by the Autumn breeze
Rich in hues of orange and red
Landing in the flower bed

What once was buzzing full of life
Now succumbs to the pruning knife
Staring up at the wilted rose
Another season comes to close

Looking for memories of this day
Not forgetting her fun filled stay
Lying amongst the rocks and sticks
I'm the one the little girl picks

Hurries home with the one she took
Placing it in her poetry book

Camera :)

The History of CamerasLearn about the history of cameras with our timeline that takes you from early optical devices all the way through to modern digital cameras.

 

The Ancient Greeks and Chinese used an optical device called the ‘camera obscura’ to project an image of the surroundings on to a screen. This invention played an important role in the development of cameras and photography.

Although designs existed earlier, it wasn't until the 1800s that practical cameras were developed.

The ‘Kodak’ camera was developed by George Eastman and went on sale in 1888, pioneering the use of photographic film. It was simple box camera with a single shutter speed and fixed focus lens.

Around the year 1913, a German optical engineer named Oskar Barnack made a prototype compact camera that used 35 mm film. Named ‘Lecia’, it was put into production in 1925 after further developments.

Reflex cameras became popular in the 1920s and 1930s.

Single lens reflex cameras (SLR) use a mirror and prism system to allow photographers to accurately see the image that will be captured. This system uses one optical light path whereas previous cameras had two, one through the lens to the film and the other to the viewfinder.

 



Polaroid cameras hit the market in 1948, allowing photographers to produce images instantly. A special chemical process was used to used to produce prints from the negatives in under a minute.

The popularity of instant cameras took off in 1965 with the introduction of the Polaroid Model 20 Swinger, one of the top selling cameras of all time.

Despite the technology being around in 1949, disposable cameras didn't really catch on until the 1990s when Kodak models became popular. They are cheap alternatives designed to be used once, perfect for one off events such as birthdays and vacations.

The first successful imaging technology using a digital sensor was made in 1969 by Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith. In 2009, they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their contributions which paved the way for digital photography.

The first commercial DSLR (digital single lens reflex) was launched by Kodak in 1991.

Photos on digital cameras are typically compressed using the JPEG standard and stored on memory cards.

 The popularity of digital cameras exploded in the 2000s as technology improved and the costs of production decreased.

 Modern digital cameras produce detailed photos made up of a huge number of pixels.

 The technology behind cameras is improving all the time with additions such as touch screens and electronic viewfinders.

This camera I made in June and completely forgot about it.

Size of it is 1 cm/ half inch.

Materials were 100% cotton black and blue.

Hook 1.65mm

It was made to order of one person

with whom I worked for short period of time.

She was happy by it which made me happy.

Once more a Tooth :)

The tooth fairy is a fantasy figure of early childhood.

 The folklore states that when children lose one of their baby teeth, they should place it underneath their pillow and the tooth fairy will visit while they sleep,

replacing the lost tooth with a small payment.

The tradition of leaving a tooth under a pillow for the tooth fairy

to collect is practiced in various countries in the Anglosphere.

 

Once I made a tooth to give to my dentist.

 Now when I tell people about it,

they ask to make for their doctors.

Size of this tooth is approximately 1inch.

I used 100% cotton white, blue and small amount red colours.

Hook 1.65mm.

 

I do have a pattern contact me price $5.

Approximately price for a tooth $5 depends on time.
