Pot holder

It’s so obvious. I managed to read a crochet pattern which is not easy think to do (at least for me). I had several failures, but I did it. Anyone interested - check out this marvelous site

It’s Sunday, my boys are away, mail bonding, quality time, bla, bla, bla... My mom forbids me to crochet on Sunday, superstition thing, I'm tired of translating Mercedes-Benz navigation system and although I passed several hours papercutting, I came up whit this alerted envelope only.

Paper Topper

My son is turning eight soon and the decoration should be done. He already popped up the question: what is going to be this time mom? You have to come up with something! OK. Lucky me I found some paper gift toppers on Martha Stewart’s blog.

Complete tutorial over here.

Want some cake....?







I’ve been stitching for several days now. It will be a notebook’s cover for a precious girl. I love giving thinks to little girls. The very thought of their sparkling eyes make me bliss.

Heart ornament


My heart ornament ended up in a crib of a two months old baby boy.

I sprinkled it with the lavender essential oil to whish him (and his mum) a good night sleep.

Recycled tag


Yesterday I bought a T-shirt to my son and while I was taking off the label I decided not to throw it to the garbage bin but to reuse it. Of course, I added some extras.
As I am pretty stuck with the translation I am doing at the moment, I don’t have much time for paper cutting so I have to satisfy my need for crafting with this little piece.
I wish you all a joyful weekend.

Papel picado


It's a Mexican version of paper cutting. I am making a banner out of it, for a party of course.

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.
