In preparation of making our pysanky, we required a number of specialized equipment. Even though pysanka-making kits are Continue reading Pysanky: Part 2 – Materials List for Ukrainian Easter Eggs
We are very excited about our latest project which is a practical and eye-pleasing addition to our new apartment.

Dear Mom, happy Mother’s Day.
Today is your day and we want you to know that.
Thank you for everything.

Nothing has changed – we still mean every single word and we still love our mothers just as much, even more. But, at the same time, everything has changed – because now we say these words with our hearts and not with Continue reading “Happy Mother’s Day… for daughters and sons who have lost their moms”

Update: Click here to see “Part 2 – Materials list for making Ukrainian Easter eggs” in which we go over the tools and materials needed for this traditional craft.
