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)!

Pimp My Lampshade

This is the lovely room of our little one. It's starting to come together but it still needs some fine tuning.  I wanted to pimp up her lampshade and so finally I did.

Here it's a plain and boring IKEA lamp. I looked at all my ribbons and lace and decided to this. What do you think?

And this is the result. I'm looking forward to seeing her reaction. Hope she'll like it...

Been covering another journal/Notebook. Bought some more to maybe fill up my (soon to be) Etsy shop. Bought some ribbons too at HEMA so I can cover lots of them.

Dan I keep forgetting showing my new tin. I got it a few weeks ago and am totally in love with it.

Well, am not done with the black-white-grey project yet, so I'll have to hurry. I'm not sure if I'll make it before monday...

Have a lovely friday and weekend!

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...)
