Wind of Change

Looking for tatting patterns I dipped into a lot of blogs and I rather enjoyed them. Then I joined eTatters (as you can see), and found a lot of other blogs and tatting bloggers. It suddenly dawned on me: all of the things I like in other blogs are totally lacking from my own blog.

For example I like:
1. personalized blogs - picture in the heading, or avatar, etc.
2. label cloud or at least a list of the labels - it makes search easier.
3. humour!!!!
And many other things.
In the meantime my blog lacked:
1. avatar or personalized heading
2. label cloud or at least a list of the labels, even my labels are in chaotic state, some of them in Hungarian, some of them in English e.g.
3. any humorous remark. Apart from a pathetic joke of words...

So it's high time to change. I changed the colours of the blog, uploaded a photo, that's my avatar, personalized the heading, put the labels in order, but I have other plans as well.

Mona, one of my tatting friends from eTatters asked me about the meaning of the title of my blog. I replied the following:
"In Hungarian 'csipke' means lace, 'lélek' means soul. 'Csipkelelkű' is an adjective, it means a person 'whose soul is made of lace'. Well, this is not really a positive thing, we use it when we are talking about a hypersensitive person (about me e.g. :). The title 'Az én csipkés lelkem' has a similar meaning: 'My lacy soul'. I don't know if there is a similar phrase in English, if you know one, please let me know it!"
So I try to create an English title, but I don't have a good idea yet.

I would be very happy if you left a comment on the new appearance of my blog. Thanks!

Nice! The colors are easy on the eyes, and I like the misty look of your title photo. Oh, and I don't think you need to have an English title -- while I may not be able to read the one you have, it's pretty! Maybe you could put a little English subtitle under it "My Lacy Soul" sounds good to me.
