Friday!

Here are some photos of my new armwarmers. The weather is getting warmer but it's not enough warm to wear them yet. Soon...

Happy weekend!

My creative space

I'm working on something that should eventually become my new line of brooches and I've been teasing you about them already for a while (like here and here), but soon you'll see the result.

The brooches that you see here in progress are inspired by the weekly European Street Team challenge themed birds, but there's still a lot to do including rewashing of the vintage lace I want to use. And I've just discovered that I've run out of jump rings and if by coincidence my local craft shop has run out of them too, then it may take a few days longer. Living in a small town often requires serious planning :)

A beautiful place

How's your weekend so far? We are getting buried in the snow over here and this is why I can't show you my finished armwarmers. It's just too dark for taking photos, so instead of them here's my newest treasury. The inspiration for its colour palette was the Ablaze print by jennifersquires and one by one it just developed into forest themed collection.

Featured Etsians: beib, jennifersquires, meliors, earcandyarts, utilemud, slidesideways, btaylorquilts, ememem, steinschmuckdesign, ikabags, creativelytangled, violetjulia

Happy weekend!

My creative space

I'm treating myself with a new pair of armwarmers this spring. These balls of blue yarn have been hanging around my house for a while now, so I'm glad to make some use of them at last. The pattern is the easiest you can imagine and it goes really quick. Will finish them tonight.

Gold, silver and bronze

This week I'm into Olympics of course, hence the theme of the weekly window shopping. Enjoy!

Hearts

Blame the Valentine's for this post :)

Etsy among other things is about hearts. I love hearting other Etsians and their creative and beautiful listings and would heart even more if Etsy would allow to organize and search the favourites. And of course I love receiving hearts for my shops and creations. Statsy (one of those handy online tools for Etsy sellers) makes it possible to spy a little and discover who is your biggest fan. And so I come to the main reason of this post - I want to send hugs and kisses to Lori a.k.a. Lori411! The photo above is from her wonderful and summery Etsy shop. Thank you!

Have a romantic and/or sporty weekend!

Springly

My creative space

Get ready, set, go! Everything is lined up to become my new brooches. Wood, glass, lace and metal. This is my creative space today.

Fan page

Today I created Facebook fan page for my happyment shop. It took me forever, mainly because I rarely visit (visited) my Facebook account. It was a little abandoned. This had to change though. One careless New Year's resolution and here I am. You're welcome to stop by and say hello!

Handwritten

It could be that the window shopping this time is inspired by the Valentine's day. Yes, it could be. But actually I'm into handwritten messages and cards whatever the occasion. I love writing and receiving them. Don't you? Happy window shopping!

Soon

We're still buried in the snow, but when I stumbled upon A touch of summer brooch by fleurfatale I just couldn't stop thinking about the spring. Hence the palette.

Featured Etsians: fleurfatale, toolisjewelry, visionquest, Jealousydesign, RoughMagicHolidays, warmwhispers, branda, ZsBcreations, iheartfink, GetReadySetGo, philosophi, roddyandginger

Have a cozy weekend! See you on Monday!

Thank you Carita!

A few days ago my Secret garden necklace was featured on Etsy front page together with other beauties in this gorgeous treasury by Jealousydesign:



I'm always amazed by the raw beauty of her designs like this aqua ring. Love it!

My creative space

At the moment I'm working on something new and what you see in the picture are cardboard shapes I've made to test my ideas before implementing them in more durable materials. If something doesn't work I can trow them away without any regrets. A perfect way to unleash the creativity :)
