frozen the summer

Hello there,

It's just me or you have the same feeling that this summer was a short one? I had a lots of headaches with all the moving part, even now I have stuff in bags and a room full of things that I didn't find a place to put them. I have space but I don't have time and energy to close this deal.
Anyway, I wanted to freeze the summer just a few moments and embrace it and enjoying it and I had an idea. Let's taste the summer! I made a delicious ice cream that made me scream ,,I can taste you, summer'' :)

You can find a lots of recipes on internet, on food blogs and that's why I didn't put any description to it.

For this ice cream I used cranberries and raspberry but you can put anything that you want. I saw a recipe with apples or peaches so use your imagination and taste the summer!!

arta in portelan pe breslo.ro

Cred ca multi dintre voi stiti deja ce inseamna breslo.ro, dar in cazul in care drumurile internetului si a handmade-ului nu v-au dus pe acolo, o sa va fac eu munca mai usoara si va ofer adresa de www.breslo.ro sau click aici.

Este locul unde artistii handmade isi pot expune lucrarile pentru a fi admirate si cumparate. Este locul unde inveti cum sa faci dintr-un recipient folosit un lucru inedit-vezi rubrica blog. Dar nu in ultimul rand este locul unde cunosti oameni ca si tine, care impartasesc aceleasi dorinte si vise.

In ultima vreme am facut o pasiune pentru ceramica/portelan. Inca nu am ajuns sa lucrez cu portelan, dar am incercat ceramica magica si dupa multe, multe experimente esuate, am reusit sa invat capriciile materialului si am scos-o la capat intr-un final.

Cautand oameni care sa lucreze cu acest material, nu mica mi-a fost mirarea sa vad pe breslo acesti minunati artisti si am hotarat sa va prezint lucrarile lor.


Sa va fac cunostinta cu Oana Stoica de la Oana Stoica Ceramics,  lucreaza cu portelan decorat in tuse subtiri de culoare, pana la elemente de tip Pollock.
OanaStoicaCeramics


Minunata Jasmin de la Jasmin Blanc, care nu inceteaza sa ma uimeasca, realizeaza de la accesorii pana la obiecte decorative, folosind diferite tehnici pe care nici nu stiu sa le numesc :)

JasminBlanc


De curand am descoperit-o si pe Mariet de la Mariet, care te poarta pe alt taram prin lucrusoarele ei, un loc unde timpul nu fuge ci merge in tihna, cu accesorii imbracate in haine populare.

Mariet


Si ca sa ramanem in zona de basm si elemente traditionale, va fac cunostinta si cu accesoriile iesite din manuta mea, dupa mai multe incercari si diferite tehnici :), le gasiti aici la Friday Inspiration

Friday Inspiration

Cam atat pentru ziua de azi, dar stati linistiti, cautarea nu a incetat! O sa mai caut lucruri handmade care sa ne aduca zambetul pe buze si la momentul oportun, o sa ii prezentam frumos, gata de livrat :)

Pana atunci nu uitati sa apreciati lucrurile facute cu dragoste!

Love, ( HANDMADE!)

pimp my pillow

Hello again!

you remember this, don't you?

The spring is here and now is time to change all that flat pillows that are standing in the corner of your sofa and have some with more personality!

Don't worry, I'm not gonna tell you to throw them out!(yet :)) Today I'll give you some tips on how can you improve your pillows with a minor effort and a few bucks.

So let's have fun :)

what do you need

Add caption
-an old pillow(or do one-I did mine in a half an hour-it's very simple, trust me, I an not a sewing expert and I pull it together so if I could do it, You can do it, just try and make mistakes and do it again and again , just don't lose your enthusiasm)


then you'll need:

Cut a piece of fabric:  length--> it should have with 5 cm more than the length of your old pillow
                                 width --> 1/2  or 1/3 of  the width of your old pillow

Depends of your material, it might be necessary a hem on the length(mine was ok without one) and you have to saw the width of your fabric to the old pillow.

It should look like this

Now let the magic begin!

do something that I call a fabric ring, just like in  the image below

mine is 4x8 cm, depends on your piece of fabric cut earlier and just use it like I did



and now you can enjoy your free time

This is a cute bow! :)

Thank you for stopping by! See you next time, until then DON'T FORGET TO DREAM!

love,

christmas spirit

I didn't go anywhere, but I was kind of busy lately. I had to take care of the children; no,no not my children, because I don't have any yet, but I have 32 children at kindergarten :)  I am kindergarten teacher :) not the maid one but the secondary  teacher.

The kids are soooo sweet! and it's a funny felling because they need all your attention and they take all your energy, but somehow they fill you with another kind of feelings and you go smiling on the way back home even if you barley stay on your feet.

we had a Christmas event and we all dressed romanian traditional  costumes. Oooo your heart melted down  just to see them and they sang carols ...such a magical moment


but today my intention was to show you how can decorate your home for  Christmas.





This items are handmade and you can buy them from me, or ask for some tips if you want to make them yourself  :)



see you soon  :)
