Big day today
Today was the big day - finally! Together with Vada I was at the Industrial Baroque "Tea for 2" Workshop held by the famous Anna Dabrowska-Pekocka (Finnabair). I am following her blog for quite a while now and I am always amazed by her designs. When I heard she is...
Quick Update on my busy life
This will be a short quick update on my busy life. I am not having enough time to do all the stuff I want/should do, so this week my post will suffer a bit. What happened in this last week: I have been to two more Perth festival events and also to the outdoor movies....
Time for another post
The week flew past and its time for another post. Since I started my sport activities again, I am finding less time for craft and other private stuff. And since I am still waiting for my big Lotto win, I have to keep working 5 days a week. 🙁 So, I am back into...
Heart Picture
Now this is annoying: I just typed a full english post about my heart picture and when I clicked "Save Draft" it showed me an error and everything was gone! ;-( So here I am starting again: I nearly forgot to blog about my heart picture I created some time ago: I had...
Too busy to write a post
This is somewhat embarrassing that I have already failed one of my new years resolutions before the first month was up! So what is my excuse? Well, I was busy with having a visitor from Germany for a week. I picked him up from the airport in the very early hours on...
Special Birthday Card
In the last couple of weeks I was working on a special requested birthday card. As soon as my friend had asked me to create a special card I knew what type of card I wanted to do. I had found the design idea in a Christmas Craft Magazine in December and had already...
Shells
When I woke up this morning I was thinking about my weekly blog and what I could blog about. I have been doing quite a lot of craft stuff, but nothing really I can talk about - no finished project to show. I am currently participating in the "Creative Jump Start...
New Years Resolutions 2013
Happy New Year 2013! Hope this year will be a fantastic one for all of us. This year I have set myself a couple of new years resolutions that I would like to share with you. I have written them all down and still working on displaying it somewhere in my craft area, so...
Last Project of the Year
The last couple of days I sorted through one of my shelves and found an unfinished project I started ages ago! I also found lots of nice pictures I have cut out of old calendars etc. As the project was a beyond-the-page calendar I thought right that fits perfectly for...
First Scrapbooking Canvas
Now another first for me: scrapping a photo on canvas! Actually scrapping photos as such is new to me. I somehow didn't think I have the right photos for that. But it all changed when I saw a beautiful canvas at the last Craft Fair in May. I was allowed to take a...
Christmas Cards
This year I was lagging behind with my Christmas Cards. Originally I started already in August - I think - but then I had my mum and her friend here for 5 weeks and I didn't do any Christmas Cards in that time. Afterwards it was also going rather slow due to my...
Handmade Christmas Decoration
I have been busy creating and decorating my home for Christmas. Somehow I have got a much better Christmas spirit then the previous years. Maybe after 10 years I am finally getting used to a hot Christmas? Anyway, I wanted to share some of my handmade decorations with...
Fixing Creation Date and/or Time and Meta Data for Photos
Hey I am back, finally after quite some time! I had a pretty long holiday, because my mum was here and hence I had hardly time for craft let alone for my blog and then there was the misery of having all this fantastic photos, but the three different cameras used, had...
Christmas in July
Having spend most of my live in Germany, I still can't get used to Christmas occurring in the middle of summer. In fact every winter I have this though popping up in my head, telling me it must be Christmas soon. I then have to remind myself, that it is only in the...
The little book of words
Gee, I have been lazy updating my blog, but let me assure you I haven't been lazy when it comes do craft. I recently bought some new stamp sets with all this fantastic sayings and I just had to use them. So I created a little book of words or sayings. The idea was...
A bit of “Ocean” in my garden
This post is dedicated to my special friend Carola in Germany. She loves the beach and the ocean as much as I do and we are both "mad" collectors of all sorts of items you can find on a beach: shells, rocks, glass and wood bits with round edges, ropes and buoys, just...
New Toy
I have finally decided to buy a Sizzix die cutting machine. I have this electronic die cutting machine, but I am struggling to use it and it is just collecting dust in my office. I decided to sell it, which I haven't don't yet, but will get onto it soon. Now I am...
Another tile canvas
Since I had some left over parts from my previous tile canvas I decided to do another one. Due to the fact, that I not yet have a lot of colors - in fact I only have green and silver - I gone again with green. But it didn't matter to me, as I find the green really...
