Temptation

After a little break I can make hearts again! I found a very inspiring blog and the template and I couldn’t resist the temptation.

Hall of frames

Last night my son Kosta had to practice writing, so we sat together to do his homework, he with his sharpened pencil and myself with my sharp cutting knife.

Mandarin’s basket

All that Valentine’s red all over the web (including me) is killing me. Gave up black and white as well, at least today, and I am coming up with this mandarin’s basket or muffin cup just to rest a bit.
These are night shots blurry as you can see but I couldn’t wait.

SWAP

I felt inspired by Tea’s swap invitation and that’s why I cut this one. It’s fun!

Star flower decoration

My dearest friend from Sweden sent me some kind of plastic paper for lamp shades and candle holders. I can not tell which one because it’s all in Swedish which I don’t understand but the photos from the catalogue which came along speak for themselves. I used it to make these star flowers. They are really easy to make and with some Christmas lights you can achieve a great decoration for any party. Here is my quick photo tutorial.

Follower’s giveaway

The funny part of this post is that I would like some of my dear FOLLOWERS to be my Valentine so please leave a comment if you would like to participate in the giveaway. I will randomly select one of you on Wednesday 20th and send you all three heart doily tags. Comments will be closed at that time. Thank you so much for participating!

Cover page doily

Right now, I am into more doilies. I like the way they look and although I am not a true Valentine person I find this holiday as a good excuse to cut all these hearts feeling no guilt. I cut this doily for the cover page of my idea journal. Latter on I’ll be adding some into my shop.

Doily style paper cut heart

I don’t have skills or knowledge to make a real one, but can always cut one.

Freedom

I cut it a month ago. Didn’t like it at first, now I like it, tomorrow who knows…

Owl

My newest paper cut.

Valentine’s Day

My Valentine’s Day contribution.

I am one of those lucky persons with no Monday pressure. Working from home has it’s pros and cons and today is one of these days when my jogging suit is giving me a hard time living me without the inspiration, whatsoever. My today’s to do list is odious, craving for some glamour.

Bottle wrap

Switching between heart or butterfly, butterfly or heart… but I needed something to decorate the bottle, just wanted to make it more personal and let my hosts know that I do appreciate their dinner invitation.

Patience practice

This heart was the most challenging and the most intricate papercut I’ve done so far. It was a real patience practice!

Half way…

Maybe it’s mission impossible, I am only half way there, lost patience. To be continued…

Golden wheel

Why on earth you made them black? – My mom
Why not? – Me
I suppose you won’t be using them for Valentine’s day.

Orthodox Christmas Eve

Tonight, according to the orthodox tradition we celebrate the Christmas Eve. Therefore I’m preparing a dinner. I decorated my dinner table with some wheal which symbolizes the abundance, of ideas, health, wealth…To all the orthodox believers I wish a Marry Christmas and plenty of love and health!

Look inside

Today, I spent several hours translating some dull contract full of numbers and strange law word and I had to let it go! I love my job and I feel sort of excitement every time when I find the proper word, both, on mine or foreign language, but sometimes….it’s too much!

Sorry for being so annoying, but I am having such a fun cutting all this flowers and I can’t stop.
