Color Me Crazy

It's been a while. I haven't sit still though. I've been adding some finishing touches to our home and I love all the extra color.

My mother had this plain white basket lying around and I had a fun idea for it. It turned out just as I wanted it! Another Color Bomb to brighten up the place.

Always nice to be able to use some of the fabric I bought in Thailand. They are so pretty...

And look at my buy of the day. I bought all these pretty pots when thrifting. I'm such a luck girl. I love the color combination. I have been (vegetable) gardening quite a lot lately, so I was in need of some pots. Now I just have to decide what to put in them.

Anywho I had a wonderfully colorful day. Hope you have one too!

Happy Day

Got some Snail Mail today from Sylvia. Her blog is very nice and the mail she sent me was very happy and cheerful. Thank you Sylvia! I will send you some Snail Mail soon...

Stuff like this would make anybody happy, right?? You can join her Snail Mail on her blog.

Had a craft night with some friends on monday. We did the Journal DIY and it was so much fun. I really like the results. 

This was a short one. Hope you're happy and enjoying the sun (although it's quite windy, or how my 3 year old calls it: wintery)!

Less is...

Less is Bore. My motto for many years now. I love it! As you all know, I love Color Bombs. There's no such thing as too much color in my book. I tried something new with this pillow and I like it. do you??

It's kind of an odd size, so I had to make the pillow myself, but I think it will look great on our new couch (only 2 weeks now...).



I love the vintage fabric I used for the back. It's been laying around for years, happy to be finally using it!

I have a BIG pile of unfinished projects. My hands can't keep up with my imagination and I just keep adding more. So right now, I believe I have about ten projects on the go. Do you guys recognize this?? I want to finish some over the next few weeks... Next week I'll be spending some time alone (well, with our puppy) in the forest, thinking things over. And to relax (and CROCHET, CROCHET, CROCHET, probably).

I'm leaving the blog for a month or so, to let in some spring air and start fresh. I have to reorganize and sweep up the old stuff. Hope to see you once I'm back!

DIY Notebook/Journal Cover

I was having a bit of a shitty (pardon my French) day and decided I had to do a quick rewarding project. I'd been meaning to cover my inspiration book with fabric and thought "today is going to be that day". So I did it!

These are some of the pages inside my inspiration book. I love to work in it. I have been collecting pictures from magazines for years and finally came up with this idea. I love to go through it when I'm down or in need of some inspiration.

And so I grabbed my glue stick and some fabric. I bought tons of fabric in Thailand (I actually want to sell it, really need to open up my Etsy shop...) and chose a lovely retro panda/bambi fabric for this purpose. The ribbon I got on a present a few months ago and the orange polka dot had been lying on the shelves for years.

 Done! They are so much fun to make and have. This crochet giraffe is not of my own doing but bought at the Sunday Market in Chiang Mai, Thailand. They have beautiful crafting there!

Well, craft a away! (And have a lovely day...)
