Hello, dear friends!!!
My name is Svetlana Kuzmina.

I live in Russia in the city of Nizhni Novgorod .

I am a young grandmother of four grandsons
I am in Internet for 2 years, and my site started on 20.03.2007.
The site is done by the elder daughter.
Thanks to her, she has opened for me a new WORLD!!!
Senior grandsons-twins are in charge of photos on site :)

Last five years I am greatly interested in embroidery. I am going in for embroidery since May, 2002! :)
I wish to show the works to fans and judges fine of the Beaty from different countries:)

Five years ago the oldest daughter has bought to me pair of simple sets for embroidery.
Everything started with these works :

My first works.

Spring
Winter
Summer
Night before Christmas
Autumn in Boldino

Then nobody could assume, what IT will result in :)

Wrong sides of some my embroideries.

When retired, all day long ay home, I embroider often not only in the afternoon, but also at night.
I always have several works at a time in progress.
It takes me approximately 1-2 months to embroider one work;)

I do not exhibit my works, I have neither time, nor forces for that.
But from September, 21 till September, 23rd, 2007 I was invited with a portion of my works for the exhibition "The Planet of Needlework 2007" staged in Moscow for arrangement of master class for embroidery of Romanian tapestries.
