OUR LOVE STORY Part II

Thank you everybody who found minute to read our story :!)





* * * * P A R T II * * * *

It was three days in when her and her family had to call an ambulance; I had a fever of 107 and was sweating through the bedding within hours. I had developed a case of Russian super strep, of course this was not the best way to create a fist impression. Once admitted to the local hospital they showed her how to give me injections multiple times a day; she fought through her nerves every single time. Who would you do this for if you were by nature adverse to hurting people? As if this was not enough bad luck…things got lost in translation. The antibiotic they had prescribed to me at the hospital was sulpha based, this I have great allergy to. My eyes swelled near shut first of all and remained nearly so for the remainder of my stay in Russia.





One would think that at this point the writing would be on the wall, but she hung in there. I ended up taking so many antihistamines I was falling asleep everywhere we went; in cabs, on boats, in her flat, oh yeah this was really the way I wanted to be remembered!! We took the last boat cruise of the season up the Moscow, past Red Square, Gorky Park, the Kremlin, and into the middle of the city. I had started to nod off about halfway into the trip and she had finally started to show her anger with the situation, she stood me up and suggested we go to the lower part of the boat. No one was near and she kissed me, I saw the ships cocktail bar through the doors behind her and asked “Is anyone tending the bar? I’d love a Stella.” She turned back around to see me with an engagement ring in hand; I asked her to marry me there at the water’s edge. The tears and the resounding “YES”, showed me the answer I had travelled so far for. We spent the next few weeks enjoying each other and celebrating, only to come to the hardest goodbye I have ever had to give.








So Hope Part II was not so long :) come backe tommorow - I'll post the Part III :) Final for the short story :)!

OUR LOVE STORY

Well the other day we were sitting and remembering the story of our family. And I thought that it'll be interesting to share with you - my dear friends ... So I asked my Hubby to Wright it ! It came a bit long - although he was trying to make it short as possible - but we will make several part - so come back later to see the end of the story.

* * * Part I * * * *

Seattle - Russia – Dzerzhinsky

Spring of 2003 there was but a bit of time to kill by chatting with friends online, but sometimes that is all the opening fate needs. When taking a small amount of time to help someone turns into a lifelong passion, is it fate, is it chance, is it karma, or is it love?
I was keeping in touch with friends I had met overseas online when a message asking for help with English came across my screen. Sure…what the heck, why not? I did not know this person, not even whether this person was male or female. Just that they needed help, help turned to chat with what I found to be a woman halfway around the world, and then chat turned to friendship. Two and half years later I found myself wondering where the time went, I was not even the type to talk to friends or family on a regular basis. Could it be more?
The only way to find out was to fly, to meet this intriguing woman from Russia. We met in person in August of 2005, it was a strange land, a strange language and yet it felt like home. She was everything all those words had created pictures of and the first days were inspiring, but it was the coming tests that showed what she would mean to me.

* * * * come back later for the PART II * * * *

and while we are making the second part of this story take a look at some of his photos

I need LightBox

Well i came to the point that with the better photos - I'll get better number of sales! I believe in this ! So the first stop is LightBox and I found one i need sooooo much . My hubby take a look at this one and he says Woow great deal! The main reason we stoped at this one is because of the lights "5100K 45 watt Haloid lamps for excellent & even color temperature and clarity".

So to get this beauty I need came up with the 80$ ASAP - how I can get them fast ? - If you need Jewelry Supplies - Come to KNOTARTOVERSTOK and stock before the hot season!

Russia - Moscow miss you

It happened that I’ve been in Moscow city twice this year – in January and September.

January trip was very fast - only two weeks. September – the whole month was occupied with family friends, my business there, and it seemed not enough time again! Well, now life seems a kind of normal again: Etsy, working, creating, and playing with my baby.

But something is missing… yes, I still miss my Mom and my Sister... Every Friday when I was there we had a girls’ party at home - just only three of us – it was always fun… now only phone calls and ICQ messages.

And as a reminder of my time there, and coming up winter time I made those earrings - Russian winter… and it's really fun - once I listed them one of my friend back in Russia ordered them right away.

Promotion Video

My hubby finaly did it for me! The first one we posted on YouTube last august got over 4700 views and many request for the new one - and actualy people want to see how I'm creating my art. So far I'm still pritty buzy with my baby and can't make a good tutoria - so this time agayn video but only with my Macrame jewelry.

We don't know if it bring any sales at my shop - but it was funn to make.

My Russian Craft Show

Well some of you maybe know that I was in Russia - Moscow - and one of my thing TO DO was Craft Show !!

I did it!
Well not so good as I wanted but it was the first try!
The main reason why it was not so good are
- Weather
- location
- theam ot the show

I was woried how I can bring QUITE A BIT stuff throught the custom on the plain - so it was very easy this time - I've got a lot already made - and I bring a lot of supplies for my Russian shop ...

The most intresting thing was that for the last week being me in Russia I got a lot orders - I made them and I sold them :)) (and it was throught one of our russian site kind of like Classmetters here )

So if you want to see and talk about my expirience - look at some photos and ask questions :)!
