Travelling with injuries is no joke!

Fell & hurt myself on the last night in Ukraine TT "
It wasn't funny travelling round the globe with an injured arm & leg~! Pain ~!! 

With this pain, I travel from Ukraine, back to Singapore for almost 20+ hours


But ~ ~ I posted this picture on Facebook and received a lot of well Wishes and love from my students. I am happy to know so many People Care! Do not worry! 

Now I am better ~ just the arm & Wrist pain still. .. I would try see "bone-doctor" next week after our Diploma Exam this Sunday.

Mотанки~ Traditional Ukrainian Happy Dolls

Mотанки or Motanka in English is the Traditional Ukrainian Dolls.

Our hosts in Ukraine brought us to DIY our very own doll~~ I guess, she reckoned that "Nails people" are art & craft people!


Beliefs About the Motanka
• Ancient Ukrainian motankas had strong ritual meaning – a girl looking for a groom would make her motanka while singing wedding songs.
• A motanka would be given to a child whenever he or she got sick. Ukrainians used to believe that the doll would take away the illness. 
• There was a time when Motankas could be found in almost every Ukrainian home – it was believed that they protected the house. 

This is the head...

The head attached to the body...

And done~!! My very own Motanka...

Day 1 in Ukraine~ and I'm having fun! 
Looking forward to Nailympics Ukraine tomorrow.
