Волшебные напитки, чтобы похудеть: эликсиры стройности

Недавно на работе у кулера меня спросили: «что бы такое выпить, чтобы похудеть?» 😅

Все мы мечтаем о магии: выпил стакан — и живот ушёл, а боки растворились в воздухе! Если бы существовал волшебный напиток, который сжигает жир, я бы уже жила в замке из шоколада (ну или хотя бы в доме с мини-бассейном для коктейлей).

Но раз уж вопрос задан, я решила собрать настоящие «волшебные эликсиры», которые хотя бы немного помогают похудеть и делают процесс веселее.

🍋 Эликсир Терпения

Состав: вода + долька лимона
Магия: на 30 минут убирает желание сожрать всё, что не приколочено. Эффект: чувствуете себя героем, который победил холодильник.

🐇 Зелье Мудрого Зайца

Состав: зелёный чай
Магия: ускоряет обмен веществ и превращает вас в бодрую версию себя. Побочка: придётся чаще бегать… в туалет. 

🌿 Отвар «Хочу, но потерплю»

Состав: травяной чай (мята, мелисса, ромашка)
Магия: успокаивает мозг, который кричит: «ДАЙ ЧТО-НИБУДЬ СЛАДКОЕ!»

🥒 Эликсир Свежести

Состав: вода + огурец + мята + лимон 
Магия: освежает, убирает чувство голода и делает тебя почти как волшебный огуречный эльф.

💦 Зелье Чистых Намерений

Состав: вода, много воды
Магия: каждая кружка стирает по кусочку вашей лени. Побочка: ноги станут сильнее от беготни в туалет.

Как я переводила мастер-класс и оказалась на кладбище стульев

Я просто хотела перевести мастер-класс.

А оказалась на кладбище стульев. Среди ежевики, гранатов и кактусов.

    

Но давай по порядку.

From Stitch to Word: Translating Dandelion Pattern

 From Stitch to Word: The Journey of translating my crochet pattern into Russian and Hebrew

Hey there, fellow crochet adventurers! 🧶✨

You know that feeling when you’re deep in your crochet groove, hooking stitches like a pro, and suddenly you realize... your pattern needs to speak more languages? Because what’s better than one language? Two! (Or three, if you count the secret language of yarn and coffee mugs ☕️)

So, I took my beloved “שן הארי” (aka “The Lion’s Tooth”- the dandelion) and decided it was time for it to travel beyond borders. Destination? Russian and Hebrew

Crochet a Sunshine – No SPF Crochet Pattern

Why everyone needs a tiny sun they can squish.

If you're the kind of person who needs sunshine in your life but also enjoys hiding indoors with yarn, I’ve got the perfect solution: a crochet sun that never burns, never sets and never judges your binge-watching habits.

Introducing the Sun Crochet Pattern – a cute, palm-sized ball of warmth and joy designed to brighten your desk, fridge, gift wrap or your soul (yes, that too).

🍓Tiny Fruits, Big Dreams: A Mini Harvest in 17 Pieces🍍

What do you pack for a seaside visit? Towel, diving mask… ?

In my case add a tiny crochet hook and a rainbow of Italian crochet thread.

Because nothing says “relaxation” like stitching a cherry next to crashing waves.

"Clean and Neat" quiet book

These books have one of the most unusual stories. 

Client: Michal, final-year design student

Project: Custom-made interactive quiet books based on original storyboards

Theme: Clean-up and organization habits

Books in Series: 3

Year: 2025

Purpose: Final graduation project, showcased in a student exhibition

Michal approached me with a clear creative vision: a trio of quiet books designed to teach and encourage children to clean up after themselves and stay organized. As part of her final project for design school, she created detailed storyboards in Illustrator and completed these three books on her own, but needed more professional fabrication to bring her vision to life.

I translated Michal’s visual storyboards into fully functional handmade quiet books. Each book features tactile, interactive activities tailored to her concepts—objects to sort, tidy and spaces to organize. 

The books were completed on time (and the time was really rough - just a month for all three books) and in alignment with Michal’s storyboard designs with my adjustments.

Rev, Roam & Row cabochons: Tiny Travels in a Handful of Cabochons

Ready to hop on a train, board a boat and float off in a hot air balloon—all before breakfast? These adorable resin cabochons might be tiny, but they pack a whole transportation network right into your palm.

Imagine it: one moment you’re revving your engine down a busy road, the next you’re roaming the skies and before you know it—you’re rowing the seas. It’s like having your own travel agency in miniature!

✨ What’s inside this little world?

Think of them as pocket-sized travel buddies. Among the mix you’ll find:

• ✈️ Plane & hot air balloon — for dreamers who like their traffic jams above the clouds.

• 🚂 Train, truck, bus, scooter, bicycle — because roads get boring without a little chaos.

• 🚤 Boat, cruise liner, submarine — just in case your adventure takes a watery turn.

• 🚦 Roads & traffic signs — because even tiny worlds need a bit of order.

• …and a sprinkle of mystery pieces that make every set feel like a treasure hunt.

🎲 What can you do with them?

Oh, where do we begin! 

• Play I Spy: Hide them in a busy bag or sensory bin and shout “Spot the submarine!”

• Sort & Learn: Air, land, sea — which cabochon belongs where?

• Craft Adventures: Glue them to cards, notebooks or scrapbooks for instant “wow”

• Storytelling Props: Build a tale that starts with a taxi and ends with a rocket ship

• Party Magic: Tiny treasures for little explorers who never tire of “vroom” and “zoom”

📏 How small is “small”?

Each cabochon measures about 1.5–2.5 cm (0.6–1 inch) — just the right size for little hands, crafty projects and anyone who believes big adventures can come in tiny packages.

So the next time wanderlust strikes but your passport’s gathering dust, just remember: you can Rev, Roam & Row—without ever leaving the living room.
