crafty PEEP swap!

just wanted to show you what I got from the my Crafty PEEP Swap partner Rowan! she has a a blog, which you really should visit..here! and look what she made for me..

 a beautiful amigurumi doll! I saw these dolls for the first time thanks to Rowan, and omg I am sooo glad I have one! I really really fell in love with them! I'm going to buy a bunch of them somewhere in the future for my kiddos. seriously!

and get this, she looks like me! she is a redhair and she is holding a lollipop (i love sweets)!

I just had problems with making some good photos, so you have to believe me that it is even more cuter in reality! thank you Rowan!!! Oh, and if you really like this doll, hop to my partner's shop!

and yesterday I was in the cinema on one of those films I was looking forward to watch. it was a spontaneous thing.. few of my friends were going and there was one place left.. sooo nice I could go. I love the cinema, but somehow I couldn't go there for a while..

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (3D)

I loved the effects, scenery, actor's stylizations and the sense of humour. of course the first and the second parts were much better.. but still I really liked it. and I can recommend it for all maniacs of the Pirates of the Caribbean :)

now.. breakfast and learning..

new treasures

as I mentioned in the previous post, on Sunday we visited the open air flea market :) and I bought few things.. today I will show you two adorable old metal tins!

 they are so charming! a bit destroyed as you can see, but it makes them only more beautiful! :)

 one of the tins is full of wooden cloth clips - I'm going to paint them all.. don't know when.. but there is a plan! haha;d

in september I bought in Wroclaw a beautiful wintage crochet hanger.. and yesterday I have found a lovely vintage flowery hanger in my grandma's wardrobe! isn't it beautiful? I want all my hangers look like those two!

and again a little sneak-peak of how I pack free gifts to my orders! do you like it?

now I'm going to learn french (like every Tuesday..)

thank you for those lovely comments under the previous post!

a rainy day and a cameo

we had so many plans for today with my A. but the rain destroyed almost everything! one day off school and work and of course it was a rainy ray. uhh

 we have visited the open air flea market today but only for like 40 minutes because it started raining and the stands started to hide.. I bought a bunch of things but I will show you them when I will clean them and make some good photos (sun! come back, please!!)

 for today I can show you this beautiful necklace with a Cameo (it's that, right?) I'm in love with everything with cameo's from while ♥

isn't it beautiful? it's very small and the red colour fits my hair haha;d so happy I have found it and it was cheap! usually when I ran into them they were sooo expensive!

how was your weekend?

lovely stamps

oh my goshh I had a stressful morning! my blog disappeared for an half an hour! I was terrified, I thought it won't come back! but now fortunately everything is ok.. uf! now, let's get to the point:

few weeks ago I have started watching Ashley's blog called Under Those Neon Lights and I have discovered that she is making her own beautiful stamps! I felt in love especially with two of them, the one with the hearty sewing machine and the second one with a thread! they don't cost much and the shipping is cheap! I had to buy them..

I got them a week ago and I have to admit.. I love them!

 I'm using them for decorating my handmade envelopes where I usually put small thank you letters and on the big shipping envelopes under my address :)

when I'm receiving some handmade stuff I love when the packages have a touch of handmade too :) so I'm trying to make my envelopes a bit special too :)

recently, I also started packing my notebooks with nice papers, I hope my clients unpack their new journals with pleasure! :)

  I hope this little post isn't very boring :) I don't have time for sewing in May :( because of my studies.. ehh.. and now I have to start learning.. eeek!

xxxx

have a nice Thursday!

cloudy turquoise

SOLD!

two months ago I made these turquoise pages and finally, few days ago I have finished a notebook with them. I don't know if someone will like it, it's an experiment.. I didn't plan making anything from those pages, but few of you told me that the colorful pages look nice, so thanks to you guys I decided to make a notebook.

it looks cute, really :) 200 pages size A6

turquoise corduroy and grey linen

 cloud and rain drops

just a quick post before I start learning french for today.. uhh why is it so difficult o.O

I hope you like this experiment :) 

wish I had a garden where I could learn on the fresh air.. aww

have a nice week!

wooden clips

just a short post about something colorful :)

a while ago I started painting my wooden clips, they had just one colour.. but then I sat and started painting them with different patterns.. inspired from my nails! I was inspired by this image.

 I have to tell you it's looking quite nice in reality :)

and recently I'm in love with my turquoise&white dots nails ;d

school started.. eeeeek!

special order

 special notebook fo a special person! :)

 few weeks ago I and Ania from Moje Zielone Wzgórze decided to make a swap. I love her bags for a looong time now, and she just discovered my blog and liked my work.. so.. after a long brainstorm we decided who gets what! :) and today she finally received it!

I made for her an XXL notebook. the biggest I have ever done. her guidelines: patchwork and polka dots! I wish I had more polka dots fabrics - I could do it better. But here it is :)

 A5 - 400 pages.it is super thick! 8cm thick!

 looong leather stripe.

 above photo before sewing to the pages :)

 and a little suprise inside: a spool and the first letter of Ann's name :)

 of course, it's crooked, I dunno why, but I don't know how to sew straight patchworks!! ;o

and on the last photo, you can see a comparison of the prototype (which you can win here) and Ann's new property! :)

what I received from Ann you will see in another post :)
I hope she likes it!! :)

'behind the scenes'

something from our life. a little long-weekend trip to the country side. we have visited my boy's family for the weekend. it's not really far away from here but the air is so fresh and healthy (unlike here in my messy town). A. had some work there but anyway whe spent almost all the time together :) 

 prepare for a few photos!

 love shamrocs,  really believe they are lucky! and on the photo above you can also see my finger haha;d i had my fingers painted in a turquoise nail polish with white dots. i love having different colors every day!

 

 above: me and my A. ;* not a very good photo, but I like it so much!

and below just my A. ;* trying to make a serious expression ;d ♥

 a really weird but beautiful root!

 and flowersflowers ♥ ahh so happy spring is here!

 oh and few minutes walk from my A.'s family house and you can visit enormous stones!

 during A.'s work time, I was sitting on my waterproof blanket and reading Etsy Tips, second part of Eat Pray Love and of course eating. lately, I just can't stop eating!

 and here the last day.. sitting, watching the sunset and drinking beer.. I usually don't drink beer but sometimes I have a like on Desperados, very sweet one.

wish weekends like these could last forever. no worries - just about the weather (which wasn't really good by the way!) and just doing nothing..

thank you all so much for those super nice comments on the 'tiny notebooks' post! thank you for your oppinions! after I will pass all my exams I promise I will make some to put in my shop!

how was your long-may-weekend?

tiny notebooks

 i didn't know what to sew yesterday except the two pillow-cases, and I hadn't a lot of time.. and suddenly.. an idea came to my mind to do this!

 9 tiny notebooks! they have from 24 to 40 pages (10,5x7,5cm)

it was just an experiment, but I really like it! they are perfect to put into your tiny shoulder bag, and write important telephone numbers or adresses!

 some of them are closed by a stripe and a button and some just by a long white stripe

 they look sooo cute and simple, like I said they are just prototypes, but  think I'm going to make more of them in the future and sell them (maybe)

what do you think? do you like them?

this is my last totally lazy weekend until end of June! ohh I sometimes hate studying! :)

two pillow cases

My mom was asking me to sew two pillow-cases to the living room for months..! And finally I finished them today. I didn't make them earlier because I didn't feel like doing them.. but two days ago THIS post inspired me totally! I'm watching sew4home for a looong time now.. such an inspiring and colorful website!

 Here are my pillow-cushions. I didn't really use the tutorial, but the photo inspired me for good.

 My mom was so happy! Handmade presents, even such simple make people soooo happy.

The ribbon is also instead of buttons holding the back together :)

Fabrics: cotton and linen

well, you don't know that but to every sold notebook, I'm adding a little free gift :) it's always nice to find something you didn't expect in the package, isn't it?

usually I'm adding heart coasters, I ran out of heart coasters, so I made few tissue holders, for a change;d I hope my clients like their free suprises.. :)

here are few photos of new tissue holders :)

a similar one, but white with flowers is waiting for being shipped ;d

and below, a hearty one.. but I couldn't make a good photo..

ohh and here, I sewed a fabric bin for threads and fabric remains, they always lie a-bout the carpet, but now they have a nice place next to my desk;d love the fabric!! it's recycled from an old pillowa-case :)

you can't see it on the photo but the bottom is so.. soooo crooked! i didn't measure good the circle.. ohh my laziness.. and now it looks bad.. but when it is hanging you can't see it.. ;d

i'm baking cupcakes now.. ohh so so hungry!!

have a nice day!
