MERRY CHRISTMAS

Altered book xmas tree

I’ve been seeing a lot of theses lately and as I like them so very much I gave it a try.
Don’t hate me for ruining a book, but this one just gained new life.

Christmas swap II part

The expectation was well worth it!
Mare a big THANK YOU!
My gift arrived yesterday neatly packed in sateen bags. Inside of each it was a real treasure: the most wonderful fabric heart, magnificent crocheted snowflake, breathtaking Santa’s stocking and brilliant every women’s book! So bright and natural.
Have a look!

Please, don’t miss Mare’s blog and her pics of the swap. Look around otherwise you’ll miss great tutorials and brilliant works.

Izzy, as far as I am concerned, you are authorized swap organizer! We are all waiting for your sign.

Joyful xmas

Izzy’s Christmas swap

It's time of the year for giving and receiving. Here is a peak of my gift for my swap partner mare.

Izzy, thanks for the push.

Felt tree

Vinyl wall stocking

Draw anything you like or can think of directly on a revesre side of vinyl, cut the design out and in no time glue it on a wall.

Pot coaster

Weekend x mas sewing

I’ve got a great desire, but my sewing skills are not so great, never mind, it’s the holiday spirit that moves me one.

Notebook cover

Tea bag printing

Tear and open used tea bag, flatten it out and dry. Now you got a nice piece of vintage look paper, thin and light.
First print out the image on a plain printing paper just to determine the position of your tea paper. Then, tack the tea bag over the printed image and tape it. Watch the side which goes first into the printer.
Glue your image either on card, tag, journal…

Fabulous paper cutting source.

Christmas season

Jam jar

A simple little crochet cover for my glass jar made out of yarn leftovers.

Afghan

My daily routine changed significantly, but not only the daily routine, the very content of my life changed as well. I’m still getting used to 9 to 5 schedule. This afghan is a product of my adjustment.

Sunday evening therapy :D

Peacock bookmark

After several years of being stay at home mom and freelance translator, now I’m working from 9 to 5. What a strange feeling! I got home and drop dead. I don’t exist. Hope this won’t last forever. Suppose, I’ll get used to it.

Chinese candle holder

I've got it!!! It's mine, the job, I mean. I'm trilled :D

My heart goes....

tom-tom-tom. Off I go to a job interview. I'm short listed candidate.

X-mas Ball

Luigi

Don’t know about yours, but my kid got obsessed with Mario Bros characters. We went to the store to buy Mario and Luigi, but they were sold out. Evil Wario was out of the question. Sad face, disappointment, tears, broken heart. Took me five days to find the pattern and crochet this one.

Believe me it’s well worth the effort.

Vellum paper ornament

Magician party

We are having magician party this Friday and some decorating should be done. If you have any good link or suggestion I would very much appreciate it because I am ran out of ideas. I came up with this garland I am having a hat shaped cake but that it.

I loved this idea. I saw it at Crescendoh.

Star world

I keep telling myself, it’s OK to cut something just because you feel like cutting.

Purely therapeutic paper cut.

My first anniversary

Thank you all so much!

In the kitchen

I’ve been seeing this kind of paper cuts all around the blogosphere and decided to give it a try. This one is just a sketch, more intricate paper cut is on it’s way.

Book binding

My craft guru (one of my best friends) gave me precious advices on how to bin a book and make one for myself. I still need to improve some aspects of it but making one felt just good.
