My Workplace

I am supposed to take a few pictures of my workplace for an interview for a creative site in Croatia :) I'm still working on it but this is what I got so far...







This old wooden box is one of the most beautiful boxes I have ever seen, it's way older than me and it was handmade, I don't know when or by who it was made, but it has been in my family for a long time :)
I use it to store my threads, needles, basically all my sewing supplies...

I have to take a few more pictures, but I'm waiting for a little more inspiration...
I don't like it when I have to do things under pressure so I always start way before the deadline :)

Woodland fairies

How do you go about making a treasury on Etsy?
Do you do the most common thing and just make one according to color?

I love our weekly challenges with the TreasurySupremeTeam! They always give me a new perspective, I make a treasury using something I never maybe even thought of.

For example today - Emily's item (PeriwinkleNuthatch)

House Fly Cufflinks, Shrink Plastic, Insect, Entomology, Bug, Wearable Art, Steampunk, Father's Day, For Him, Gift for Men

The first thing that came to mind was - a fly?!?! What will I do with this :)
Then with just a few seconds of thinking a whole woodland fairy dream came to my thoughts... And this is what I got :)
Hope you like it!

Just a winter day

So it's kind of cold here :)
I opened my window yesterday and a bunch of snow was just lying there...And after I came back into the room of course some of it was on the floor!

Oh well...

So it didn't snow yesterday and I thought I could take a picture of my work on the window, kind of "vintage" atmosphere with the window being about 100 years old :D

So today I'm working on something colorful!

A few almost finished beads....




And a lot more to come :)


 In these colors!




Enjoy the rest of your day :)
I'm adding a little color to mine!

Sewing project


I always liked doing handmade things, and when I found Etsy I just spent hours looking and admiring things people make.


My grandmother bought me an old sewing machine for my birthday a few years back, she has one just the same, the only difference is the one she has is green.


So recently I wanted to complete a tutorial for a pincushion because I keep my needles in a little tube and always have to take all the needles out before I can choose the one I want, this always frustrated me so I decided to take things into my own hands.
I used this great tutorial - Pincushion tutorial


I always over-complicate things so I almost spent more time drawing the little squares on the fabric than I did sewing it all together :) 










All in all, I love the way it looks, and the little ribbon fabric is too cute :)
