Crocheting a young mom helps you take a break from the household

Domino since childhood

True, the handicraft only sits down when the son falls asleep. With Little Gvid, says your mother, you will not overdo it for a long time: you will be confused by the threads, he will get a crush.

« Although crochet is not bookkeeping, but diligence and attentiveness are needed here, » smiles the interviewer, who calls crocheted with his relaxation and rest.

For her daughter Agneta, she has dropped a variety of handbags and baskets. The girl chooses the colors and patterns she wants, but she is not trying to take the Crush herself – she’s not interested.

« For me, when I was little, that activity was extremely interesting. I was taught how much of my cousin is to crochet. The needles that my mother knit was not as much as a Crushed, » admits Šiauliai, who lives with her husband and two offspring.

The sewing lessons were useful

According to Lucy, what you learn – you will not wear it on your shoulders. When the daughters were expecting, they decided to make the waiting time meaningfully for training. « I can’t sit down in one place, so I went to sewing courses. Just for myself, » she shares.

Although crocheting is not bookkeeping, but carefulness and attentiveness are needed here.

Although he completed the courses, nevertheless did not hurt the clothing. The sewing elementary was useful for Lucy when he came up with his hand -lined lining to hold his shape better.

« I had to remember everything, » says Sister, who has a beautifully designed Made_by_li page to take a beautifully created handbag.

One problem is that she lives in Vilnius, so it is not uncommon to meet. Instead, when they come to both mom, not only do they talk, but they also organize photo sessions.

« The sister has an understanding of how to present my works aesthetically, tastefully, » says L. Brijūnė, who started public photos of her articles when she started with a dive from cords when her daughter was born.

« In the internet, I found toy toy bags from cords. I came up with a similar Agneta. I started looking for the yarn to suit this idea and discovered a thin cord.

The squares were fascinated

Now Lucy has found a crochet diagram of the « grandmother’s squares » on the Internet. This pattern is often used for a variety of things – bedspreads, pillowcases, carpets and even clothes.

« Initially, I tried to replicate what I saw on the Internet. I went out in a way, I would say, maybe even better, » says Lucy, who today creates its own handbag models and does not look at others.

The hardest part, says, to get the handles. Once upon a time, he tried to carry a handbag to a sewing atelier to fit the leather handles, but went out so ugly that they brought them home as soon as they brought them home. Since then, the handles have not experimented – they do not dive as they know.

Handbags from « grandmother’s squares » have already been able to refer to loved ones. They are happy to wear themselves.

Lucy has many handbags – neither buying nor crocheted – Lucy. Calls herself a minimalist, especially at this stage of life when raising children.

« Sometimes you would like a different choice, but when raising young children, convenience is most important, and then practicality, » says Agneta and Gvid’s mother.

Handicraft – for pleasure

As the summer approaches, Lucy began to dive with a rafian fiber reminiscent of a straw. This raw material – firm, flexible, lightweight – is extracted from the leaves of the Raphas palm trees growing in tropical regions.

She sews lining for handbags from her mother’s tissue treasures. « Why buy a new one if it is possible to use what is already being used, » said L. Brijūnė, who initially threaded the handbags online, and later discovered a store in Šiauliai, whose supply satisfies it.

The creator himself likes the gentle pastel thread tones. However, when creating summer handbags, she dares to play with brighter, and sometimes at first glance, even inappropriate colors.

« When the squares fall into the whole, they go out perfectly, » explains the interviewer, using 50 percent. cotton and 50 percent. Acrylic composition threads.

The woman admits that when the first clients came up, there were all kinds of thoughts: she was considering whether to quit the work of an accountant and stay at the handicraft only.

« Is the crochet just as cute and expected if they become the main activity? » – Sharing hesitant Šiauliai, who is still not for her own pleasure.

How does a young family spend their leisure time? According to L. Brijūnai, they interact with friends who also have children of the same age.

« We are currently raising a baby around which all our time and attention are around. True, we like to ride bikes and we are very pleased that the bicycle paths are getting more and more, » she says.

The guests of the city with children would advise Šiauliai to visit the Rūta Chocolate Museum, and to have fun on the newly landscaped city playground.

Šiauliai residents are proud of Lake Talkša in the city center, with bicycle and pedestrian paths on the coast. Here is the famous Iron Fox, which became a symbol of the city. The Lithuanian record book states that it is the largest sculpture of an animal in Lithuania. Vilnius has a legend about the Iron Wolf, and Šiauliai can create legends about the Iron Fox – a symbol of superiority and wisdom.
