The Snowflower Diaries

Have you ever wondered why I chose the name Snowflower Diaries?  First of all I could not think of a better name.    I had participated on a business course for crafters last week where they spoke about the importance of choosing a good, possibly not too long, name.   I know that by any calculation mine does not fit the criteria and what is more, I LOVE misspelled words as I like all things that has a little 'mistake', a scar, a touch of difference.   My brand name is long, misspelled (snowflower instead of snowdrop, because this is how we call this flower in my language and I like it better), but fits me perfectly and I will not change it for all the treasures of the world. I thought to show you a photo of me and you will understand....:-)   Here is a true winter girl who loves white, big skirts, fun and who is very romantic, too:-))) IN HUNGARIAN Gondolkoztál már azon, hogy a búbánatban sikerült a Snowflower Diaries nevet k...

My darlings, Thank you very-very much for all your comments to my last post.  I am one happy person to have such friends both online and offline!:-) How are you doing in these first days of 2015? I was busy planning The Snowflower Diaries new year.  I have a book of secrets every year with all the plannings and scheduling. This year it is much more detailed, I made a yearly, monthly and daily plans to, a blogging and a business plan, too. I show you my desk today when I finished...  Some truffles and bonbons for happiness:-)  Below the planner lay the sketches of new designs. ...and now let me upload here the new pattern of one of my very first designs, SPRING BUNNY LOVE that was designed exactly 2 years ago in January.  I had improved my style and the quality of digital patterns, so I redesigned the pattern, please, welcome!:-) It is free to download for personal use. The model was stiched with Nina's Threads and finished with her...

Dear Friends, There is only 30 mins left from 2014! It had been the hardest and darkest year of my life, I had learnt so much about people and myself, too. I am very thankful I step into 2015 with a clear vision of those who proved to be real family and friends, friends in need.  I am very thankful that the trauma that broke my life into pieces also broke those stony fossil layers on my soul that made my eyes blind for so long and forgot what lays really inside, down under, who I am and what was my heart's real desire. When I was a child  I was so sensitive, more sensitive than anyone I met, I had nobody to understand and after a while I labelled myself as crazy, too who has way too vivid fantasy.   As the years passed I slowly and imperceptidly forgot to see and feel.  I always thought others knew better who I am, they must be right what is best for me. Wrong. I very rarely listened to that silent voice inside.       This year I had t...

Good evening, I am very happy to spend the rest of the week at home with my kids.   I am also planning the 2015 year of The Snowflower Diaries using a couple free printable planners I found on Pinterest and - of course - I had to buy new set of pens in all colours, stickers and tapes;-)   I must be more organised in the future and use my time wiser, this was the main conclusion of 2014.   Today I brought you a new design, friend of yesterday's Elise.  She is Josephine .   The pattern is 128 W x 95 H, the model was stitched with DMC and The Gentle Art Threads.    It is available in our Etsy shop. Tomorrow I am coming with a primitive design called Winter Friends:-) Happy stitching!:-) Hugs IN HUNGARIAN Szép estét!  Úgy örülök, hogy a hét hátralévő részében itthon lehetek a gyerekekkel.  A szabadság alatt a 2015. évi célkitűzéseket is szeretném összeállítani a Snowflower Diaries számára, le is töltöttem a Pinteres...

Dear Girls, I am happy to present you a new release each day till the end of 2014 :-) Actually I scheduled earlier release dates, but I was called to work in Brussels, Belgium.   When I was attending law school I was dreaming of working at EU headquarters one day, I am so happy my dream came true!:-)   I had designed two beautiful Renaissance style winter ladies, today please welcome ELISE !:-)  Stiched with DMC and The Gentle Art threads the pattern measures 126 W x 92 H. The pattern is  in our Etsy shop .  IN HUNGARIAN:    Kedves Lányok!  Örömmel értesítelek Benneteket, hogy 2014 végéig minden nap érkezik egy új minta:-) Korábbi megjelenési dátumokat terveztem, de közbeszólt egy munka Brüsszelben, Belgiumban.   Amikor a jogi karra jártam,  elképzeltem, milyen jó lenne az EU szerveinél dolgozni egy nap, jó érzés, hogy belekóstolhattam. Két szépséges reneszánsz, téli hölgyet terveztem,...

Dear Girls, I would like to show my new visitors the winter designs of 2013: Thank you for coming!:-)

Hello Ladies, How are you doing?  Are your pumpkins carved and ready?:-)  I am taking an autumn holiday with my children, we are arranging a witchy party for Halloween, light candles and remember our loved ones who had passed away. I had stitched a little pillow for All Hallows Eve, it is called 'I WILL BE THERE'. This is a gift pattern for all of you, for all your kindness and support, please feel free to download it:-)  The model was stitched with The Gentle Art Sampler Threads Piney Woods and Old Red Paint. Happy Stitching!:-) IN HUNGARIAN: Helló Lányok! Hogy vagytok? Faragtatok halloween tököt?:-) Őszi szüneten vagyok a gyerekeimmel.  Mindenszentekre  boszibulival készülünk és gyertyagyújtással emlékezünk elhunyt szeretteinkre.  Hímeztem egy kis párnát az alkalomra, az a címe, hogy "Ott leszek", melynek a mintájával szeretnélek Benneteket megajándékozni azért a sok kedvességért és ösztönzéséért, melyet kapok Tőletek, egy...
