Paper&Yarn

Add crochet edging around just about any paper image and create a frame. Add it to a Christmas card and make your holiday mail more personal. Punch a hole at the top and tie some yarn. Use it as a gift tag or book marker.

Plan a #Weekend

Do you agree that weekends should feel different from the weekdays?

I know, you need to do things to be a good spouse, a good parent, a good friend — but aren’t you just a little tired of being “good” all the time? Schedule a weekend of things that make you really happy.

A dish from Belgrade

Some day ago lovely people from Cut Out + Keep asked me to prepare a dish from Serbia. I decided to go with "Turkey with mlinci". Learn how here.

The best way to really get to know ‘mlinci” is to taste it. If Serbia is too far, please yourself and get into adventure which you won’t regret. Delicious, juicy and unusual dish, that’s what you’ll got.

Paper&thread

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.

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.

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…

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.

Look out for more detailed explanations at:

Monday morning coffee

For a bright, fresh start.
(I’ve got my big translation done and that’s why I’m filling so cheerful.)

Lavender sachet

Lavender reminds me of my granny. She used to have lavender sachets in all drawers of her home and I just wanted to hold this memory and relaxing smell a little bit longer.

French knot

Have a lovely weekend :D

Wish journal's page

Since I’ve started blogging I wanted to make a photo mosaic but haven’t got a clue on how to do that, till now. I found a wonderful, gorgeous site that makes magic: mosaic, map, magazine or cd cover. It’s just your photo and you.

Here you got my whish journal’s page, and a cd cover made out of one of my paper cuts. Just lovely!

Paper / thread combination

Paper knife embroidery

Don’t know where I am heading to but the idea was to do embroidery using my paper knife and a pin. Any suggestions or good blog with embroidery patterns that you are aware of would be very much appreciated :D?
