Hi friends my country has begun a 21 day lock-down to combat the Corona virus situation and for me personally these are very trying times as not only am I an ENT Surgeon but so is my husband ; and my mom, who turned 73 recently, is an anesthetist. We are statistically in the high risk category for contracting the disease . I know many of you across the world are in difficult situations and I can only imagine the challenges each of you must be facing in these unprecedented times. In this post I am not going to post any advice.......I am sure you are getting enough of that from face-book and other social media. I am just giving you a few seconds of diversion!
This is the gift I made for my mom for her 73rd birthday . My mom loves flowers and bright cheerful colours and loves decorating her home. I made it using an MDF heart from Crealies . Covered the MDF with thin pattern paper
Stenciled bricks using crackle paste and the Crealies brick stencil .
Added lots of flowers made with Crealies dies and foamiran
I added one of my favourite sentiments " Celebrate" which may seem difficult in the present scenario but maybe we can "celebrate" life itself and remember to count our blessings in these trying times.
Added dark pink shadows in areas for highlighting
And added tiny pearls for texture
And here is how it looks
I made the matching card using the Crealies Cardzz Love die
Layered the "Love" shape using glitter foam and pattern paper and added heart shaped lock and key from the new " Mix and Match " die set.
Its Gorgeous both the heart and card ! Pretty color and beautiful blooms. I can only thank you from bottom of my heart for all you people are doing to treat the patients,even if its highly risky ! My Salute 🙏
Thank you Pooja...in the present situation I feel all our gratitude should be towards the poor policemen and police women who are trying their best to keep people off the streets and who will play the most role in keeping people from landing up in the hospital beds!
This stunning project brings such a welcome diversion Sonia, the colours are so pretty and i'm sure that your Mum loved it. Thank you for finding the time to post this project. I'm sure that it must be very hectic for you and your family at the moment.
I think that I speak for everyone at the moment when I say our gratitude goes out to all medical personel who are putting their lives at risk to save others during this awful virus.
Thank you so much Sue....I am at home now as we are in lockdown ...all elective cases in our hospitals have been suspended in anticipation of the storm to come!
This is so pretty so stunning, all the layers, elements and beautiful flowers. Happy Birthday to your Mom, she will love and cherish this for years to come. Gorgeous keepsake! Stay well, hugs, Lori m
What a beautiful gift set for your Mom! Happy birthday to her!! I love it all! The colors, the flowers, the textures, just gorgeous! Can't thank you medical professionals enough!! Stay safe and well!
I know your lovely card help to brighten your mom's spirits and birthday! What a wonderful gift! Even though you're on lock down right now, you are still part of the medical profession on the front lines helping to keep everyone healthy and safe. Stay careful, safe and healthy, Dr. Sonia!
What an amazing creation you made for your Mum. I bet she really loved it! So many beautiful feminine details! That love die is amazing! Take care of yourself and your family.
What a Beautiful Gift for your Mom! It's simply Gorgeous! I will pray for your family as I know this can't be easy on you being on the front lines - Wishing you all Health & Happiness... HUGS!
Happy birthday to your mother, Sonia. The heart home decor and the card you made for her are absolutely perfect, like always, my dear friend. PLEASE STAY SAFE and take care of yourself. This is a strange period of time for the whole world but hope this will pass soon. Hugs, sweetie. And: Your creations are perfect for Craftlandia Challenge 2, if you want to join me (see on my blog).
First, bless you, your husband, and your Mom for what you do. Such a trying time for everyone worldwide. Can't even imagine the stress you are going through. We are following the guidelines and staying put trying to do our part to end this pandemic.
Love your outstanding projects. Both are so lovely and so YOU. What beautiful gifts they would make, but would be hard to give them away.
Thinking of you and praying this will be over sooner than predicted.
Your diversion certainly worked Sonia, more amazing and very beautiful creations from you. God Bless you and your family in your work during these awful times. Keep safe and well. Faith x
Happy birthday to your mother! I am sure she is going to love your gorgeous projects. We have been locked down for almost two weeks. We are very lucky to live by the beach, so we can go there, breath some fresh air and still keep our distance. My husband is still working from home, I am retired.
Your mom's gift and present are absolutely gorgeous, I'm glad you had a bit of time to create. I was wondering about you with the coronavirus, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Such amazing works full of love, Dr. Sonya, any sweet detail is a joy for the eyes and I'm sure your mum loves them so very much! Happy Birthday to her!! Hope that in your country doctors aren't doing the same italian error: don't pump oxygen in with mechanical ventilation, because there are pulmonary thrombi and so this fact makes people die. Here in Italy we have not more emergency (even if government keeps all us still in emergency with fear, to seize absolute power... we are having a very bad politics, social and economical time... our republic is at risk) These are the treatments from the light to the strong, that work to win Covid-19. Step 1: Chlorchina. Step 2: Antivirals and anti-inflammatories. Step 3: Heparin and plasma. Stay safe and well, and take care of your loved ones. Big hugs
Two absolutely gorgeous creations, Sonia. The colours are so beautiful and my favorites.
I have immense gratitude and respect for you and the doctors who are working in these testing times. I hope you and your family are in good health and spirits. Take care.
Ein Traum wunderschön
