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.

Look out for more detailed explanations at:

Circles and flowers

Some fabric circles and crochet flowers and voilá….

Stampin'

A bit personal...

My favorite armchair with now-to-be my favorite pillow (handmade by me, hee, hee).

Back to school party invitations

My son, well it seems that he is very choosy and bossy when it comes to his party invitations. Yesterday I showed him these layouts and he told me: Well you didn’t impress me!

A bell in my head is ringing: How did we get this far? Something’s wrong in this picture! Am I too soft?

Judge it for yourselves.

GRAB MY BUTTON

Look at my side bar!

Thanks to Tea from HOBBYCHIC blog I have this beautiful GRAB MY BUTTON!

Thank you Tea for sharing unselfishly your time, knowledge and enthusiasm!

Not only that she made it, but also took the effort to find among my works the right one to suit my style!

People and thing like this truly amaze me!

Just a paper cut

Monday morning coffee

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

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

Carriage

I kept my hands busy over passed few days.
I missed sharing!

Vacation brake

Envelope

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.

Falling in love with embroidery

Decorating....still...

Progress...

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.

City card

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.

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.

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

Heart to heart

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.
