MY MOSAICS... so far!

Hey there. Like I said. I started a while ago to lay mosaics. It's relaxing and I really like it.
And also... it could be worthwhile, but not yet...







MUSHROOMS

Sunday. Nov 22,2009. Me and my parents went to the woods to pick mushrooms. We ended up picking some, but mom decided she would mot cook them as she was not VERY familiar with them.
Anyway, it was a cold day. But I enjoyed the hike. I love the WOODS.
Here are some pics:

GLOXINIAS

GLOXINIA















Here are some of them. Have had more exotic ones, but they didn't do too well on my windowsills facing north, on the 8F.
So I have been giving away those too exotic ones.

Thanks to a Romanian gardening forum that I spend quite some time on, I became more and more fond of these little plants, not too showy in foliage, but making up for this shortcoming with their great blooms.



Monday evening. Where's my inspiration?

Hey everyone. My first attempt. So a short presentation is ... necessary.
My name's Calin. Male. Born in 1975.
Living, working and doing all kinds of stuff in Oradea, Romania.
Close to the Hungarian border - so I speak a little Hungarian.

I work in an office-in front of a computer. Imports. Title would be Purchasing Agent. A bit boring, but FOR NOW it's OK.
Hopefully something more interesting is just around the corner.
Hobbies... yes. Right now I got two big ones:

1. plants, gardening, exotic plants, potted plants - anything about plants and flowers.
I got quite a few plants in my apartment, mainly crammed on the windowsills. A few cacti, aloes, succulents, dipladenias, gloxinias.
But I am more and more shifting to outdoor plants.
My parents got a house in the country and as they are too busy with other things, I am in charge of the small flower garden.
The idea is to create some kind of English cottage garden - with a lot of perennials, alpines, shrubs, grasses, flowering plants, roses, and many many others.
Not easy... but soon getting there.
So I enjoy swapping seeds, small plants with other "green" people.

2. mosaics. It's a new hobby. ordered online some tiles, tools and stuff and created a few pieces of art. In time, I hope to get some financial benefits. Besides the relaxation this hobby gives me.
I made a mirror and 3 other works, all up on the walls in my apartment.

Well. It's evening and I think there is a good movie on tv. I will leave you know. Maybe a bit later I will post some pics. When I go a little deeper into what this blog can do.

LATER!
