My Creative Space

Nothing much has been going on lately at my creative space, but I have a new thimble display that I can brag about. :) Check out this cute little box with glass door and tiny latch! Not all of my thimbles could fit in there, but that's why I have an old re-purposed printer drawer for the rest of my collection.

And this is the corner, where my jewelry goes to show out and shine a little, before I pack each piece in the bag and put in the storage drawer.

On the big mannequin you can see a corner of my latest piece - pendant with ammonite and very shiny crystal. It will be available in my store later today. ;)

Hmmm... What else?

Wanna know, what am I going to do in the evening?

This! Sounds yummy, right? And I have all ingredients in my fridge!

Thank you, dear Frances, for this amazing recipe that I'm about to try! ;)

Inspiration received! :)

Today a real New Year's miracle happened. I received two wonderful books from Katri, who is a talented artist and a great friend. She decided to be my winter fairy this year and sent me something so great and inspirational.

Both books are autographed, which makes them even more special.

I've been admiring the work of Anna and Tatiana for years and now they have shared their knowledge and great sense of style with all of us.

Thank you, Katri, for this wonderful gift! I'm so happy and excited! My inspiration is slowly coming back to me...

... is a bit different this time. It's more like early Christmas or late birthday.

I finally spent the birthday money that I received this year from my dear relatives.

The package arrived today. Liisa found it very suspicious.

Even more weird inside...

Can you guess, what's in the box? Here is a clue...

And here she is - my new pink toy. I've always wanted a sewing machine, but never had. It's nice, when dreams come true. Now I finally can make blue throw pillows for new bedroom and many other things...

Also got a small gift from the seller - cute tin with supplies and carrying case. Neat!

Now I'm impatiently waiting for the holidays, when I finally have time to figure out, how this thing works. :)

Meanwhile I have good bed time book to read.

Looks like a great day to me. What about you?

Enjoy your Thursday!

Mail is here!

Today I received some great things in the mail.

First of all, I would like to thank fabulous Kathryn from Our Shabby Cottage for the beautiful gift she sent me. I was the 200th follower of her blog and she made me this fantastic door stopper.

It's so me!

Some of you already know that we've decided to change our city apartment to a small country cottage. We'we been viewing potential houses for last several months. We even found one that seemed perfect and even managed to fall in love with it, but then we discovered that the dream house is growing five different types of mold in the basement, plus, two more in the attic. And that's a bit too much even for us. :) So, we're still searching. And when we find the one, this amazing door stopper will be perfect start for decorating the whole house! Thank you, Kathryn, I love it!

Check out Kathryn's Etsy store, as she has plenty of great things there!

Besides the gift from Kathryn I found couple of more nice things in the mail today, like these embroidery scissors I ordered a while ago.

And also a bit of treasures for my future projects.

I still don't know what I'm gonna do with the fishes... Hmmm... Maybe you have any great ideas. ;)

I love getting new things! Especially the ones made with love!
