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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Judge it for yourselves.
