Sorrow

It is really sad when our relatives pass away... My grandmother died last Saturday. I can't believe it even now.. She will be buried this Wednesday.. She was very ill, and the doctors said in the hospital that it was a miracle that she was still alive. Now I have no grandparents at all. Firstly I coudn't feel anything and I didn't cry at all, and only today the tears came. I can't imagine that I won't see her again. I'm so afraid that I will burst into tears when I see her there in the coffin..
Maybe it will seem strange to someone, but I have beaded all this sad time. This collar is dedicated to my beloved grandmother.. I will always remember her. Here it is:
"My crystal dreams"

New pendants

Finally my practise at school is over. The children are so noisy and naughty! I'm tired of them. But now I have more than a month of free time - I can bead as much as I want. And here are my new works:
1. Pendant "Strawberry flowers"2. Pendant "Amethyst eyelashes"

I've almost forgot that I have a diary here)) Now I have only one examination left - Theory and Practise of Translation on 28th January.. I've passed German and English already, and a lot of credits too. And then I'll have to work at school - as my 2-months practise begins on 1st February. In January and December I didn't bead at all - just hadn't any time for that. Now I'm making a new collar in strawberry colours.. God, I missed my beading so much!

Today I feel good, even very good... I have been ill for about three weeks, and now I can go to the university again. But today begins my weekend (as I have no lessons on Friday), and I have some spare time for beading. During my illness, I made two new beautiful green things:
1. Collar "Tears of the Elven princess"

2. Pendant "Green Eye".

I don't know why but now I'm in love with the green colour:)))

It is amazing how fast the time flies! It is november already! The New Year's day is not so far away now... My boyfriend is sick, I haven't seen him for two weeks and I really miss him. My mother thinks he has swine flu, but maybe it is just a simple cold. My study is a real bore, I don't know if I'm strong enough to finish it someday. Today we baked cakes together with mom and granny)) And at this very moment I'm beading a new collar - in black&white, for one of my teachers in university. It is realy nice when you have such a wonderful hobby, that can even bring you some extra pocket money)

This week was realy tiresome for me. Every evening of these two weeks I came back home from the study, and all I could do was just lying in the bed and sleeping like a deadman. And when I woke up, I didn't have time for anythig - even for my beading, because on the next morning I had more lessons, and more homework to do. I've been studying only for two weeks, but I've tired so much, as if it was a whole semester.

Study and disappointment

Today is the 7th September, and the 7th day of my study. I have a lot of new teachers this year - actually, I knew only two of them. We have 3 German teachers, and three English teachers as well - each for Grammar, Speaking and Reading. And each of them demands to do a lot of homeworks(( Also, I'll have to write two course works in this year, to have a two-months practise in one of the schools in Gatchina, where I'll teach English and German to the young learners. In January, in the winter session, I'll have to pass 3 exams, and some credits - 7 or 8, I can't tell for sure. So this year will be quite difficult, and I won't have any chance to relax, and even for beading.
As for my life, I went to Lesha and Olgas' wedding, I gave them my beaded mice, they loved them very much)) Also I gave Olga a beautiful bracelet, but she even didn't try it on... That was a great disappointment, because I spent a lot of best Japanise beads on it, and I've been beading it for a whole night long before the wedding. I even didn't manage to photo it one the hand, because I had no time for that. Here it is... I will really miss him((( I think that I wasted it for nothing - Olga hardly thanked me for it...
