clouds & felt again :)

 I was waiting today for my mother's friend to leave the home so I could go to the living room.. and play on my lovely playstation 3.. well I had to wait 3 hours so I decided to watch some of my favourite tv series and.. make a new cushion for my keys - beacuse the old one was sooo destroyed right now!

 like you can see I'm still obsessed with clouds.. I couldn't resist making a key cushion with little lovely clouds! it is really small as you can see :)

 and it's made of nice blue felt.. I really really like this shade of blue actually :)

I didn't really think much about the back, so I just made it white.. like the clouds.. It will get dirty in my bag very soon probably hehe :)

now.. some relax with inFamous! oh I bought recently a lot of books I wanted for a looong while now.. can't wait to see them and start reading!!!

Wednesday - my first, really horrifiing exam. keep you fingers crossed!

ps. don't foget about my little giveaway!

few journal pages

i have nothing interesting happening recently so can't show you anything new.. but maybe you would like to see few of my favourite yournal pages? my journal is tiny, so there is not much space, but it's an advantage because I'm really not good in scrapbooking.. maybe some of you will like it :)

I have found this photo in the internet somewhere, have no idea of the source, but if you do know please tell me I will link it right a way!

my journal pages are usually about nothing.. no specific topic, no specific photos or plans just something that comes to my mind in that specyfic moment :)

photo from the journal page aboive also is from an unknown source, please let me know if you know it!

ikea page.. some accesories I really wanted.. few of them are actually in my room now :)

and this one above is my favourite one.. probably because the blue background! and alsooo the photo is from an unknow source - need info if you know it! I'm in love with stamps!! my father had a collection when he was my age, and now I got it. I didn't want to sell it, I just took ones which were double.. you can see some on these pages! :)

hope you like it, I have to go learn American culture for Monday's test..

a bit of free time during exams

jewellery (shopping), felt and cupcakes = a bit of free time!!

yesterday my A. made me a nice suprice - he visited me unexpectedly! it sounds silly but we live a bit far away from each other (40km - and we don't have a car) so this visit was really really lovely! we went for a fast shopping and sat in the park and drank beer.. :) it was a really lovely evening!

I want to show you what I bought.. well not everything, just these two special treasuries! I love these earings and this ring!!! just love them! they were screaming Agnes (!) from the shelf!! I had to buy them :)

this ring is giant - the biggest I ever had! and so looong looong earings.. green earings look very nice with my red hair :)

 yesterday morning I sat and.. started making a phone cover from felt. I don't remember the last time I was doing something from felt, seriously. but I'm very happy I did it because it reminded me how relaxing it is!

maybe it isn't anything perfect or specially beautiful but I really like it. It's a bigger that my phone a bit, but I'm expecting a new one soon and it should fit it perfectly (hope so!)

 I'm in love with clouds recently as you can see from my wallet, notebooks and drawings etc. etc.!

oh and I made cupcakes today.. I think I'm doing cupcakes too often.. seriously :) I love this book I have with A LOT of recipes and I love every new one I try! :) and it's even more fun from the time I received these cupcake accesories from my cousin :) thank you Asia!

have a nice day! my free time ended.. I have to learn phonetics for tomorrow..

xxxx

thank you A. for that wonderful suprise ;*

Ann! prepare for my visit at the end of the month! can't wait!!

oh! p.s. I bought my first sandals ever! ha! ;p

project 100+ bindings: project 2

hello! I didn't expect I'll make and post something this week but fortunately I passed an important test today and I don't have to take my exam on Wednesday! I had to celebrate it.. so I made a new project from 'the' book. if there is someone who doesn't know what I'm talking about go to this post and check! :)

I'm not doing these projects by the order from the book.. just which I like to do in this specific moment. today I wanted to experiment with thread&binding and here is what I created!

the size of the book is 11,2x14,4x1,8cm it's quite cute in the reality :) I just can't make any good photos lately!

there are a lot of different pages, from simple checked ones, through colorful papers from ILS and scrap.com.pl, brown paper, old pages from books etc. etc.

160 pages (counting both sides) - quite a lot! and I still have no idea what I will use this journal for! I called it a journal because it's too colorful  and odd-looking for a simple notebook!

here you can see some pages, forgot to mention that you can find here pieces of an old map too :)

the image of the typewriter is from the internet.. I have no idea of the source! So if you happen to know the artist who made this image please tell me! pretty please!

i'm not really a good scrapbooker so don't shout at me for this not very pretty cover;p

ahh! thick, colorful and weird! ♥

do you like it?

xxxx

have a nice week! I have to start studying for tomorrow.. 6 awful tests! keep your fingers crossed!

project 100+ bindings

 a while ago I bought a book Making Handmade Books by Alisa Golden and I have to admit.. I love it! I decided to make a little blog project with this book!

 I'm not making a time limit for this project, I'll just be doing some of the books when I'll pass my exams and have some free time :) I hope it won't be one of the 'never finished' projects!

Ok. So.. PROJECT 1 from 'the' book!

 i really like this 'simple' project :) it's a book and in the same time a 'standing' card :)

 it's my quotation book from the book 'Eat Pray Love - sedcond part' :)

I'm always writing down some nice quotations from books I read.. you do the same?

 I don't know why, but the back is probably my favourite part!

now.. let's start learning business, grammar, phonetics, correspondence etc. please.. HELP!

xxxx

have a nice weekend.. in contrast to mine!!!

lace & pastel

this notebook is a special order for Aulik - she was the winner of my last giveaway :)

her guidelines: A5, flowery, girly with a lace and a nice button. and here it is. I coloured the lace a bit because I thought it was too white for this flowery fabric.

 200 pages A5, stripe for closure

 creamy pages

 and one of my favourite buttons :) I have just one more left! isn't it beautiful?

 white flowery interior :) and you can see my business card inside

I hope the new owner likes it! and that it will be a very often used sketchbook :)

packing orders - continuation

 Few posts back I have shown you how I packed my orders. Well, from a while I have a new way of packing.. and you can see it below! :)

 I don't really think what I am goind to paint.. those are just simple super quick paintings that first come to my mind :) it's not real art, not real paintings.. but I think that people like unpacking those packages :) colorful and you really know that the product inside is something kinda special :)

 first I measure the notebook, make the painting in the good spot and voila! the package has a lovely simple addition :)

 please, don't look like I paint because I am really bad in it :) and those are just simple watercolour paintings :)

do you like the whole idea about 'handmade' packing?

xxxx

p.s. I'm falling in some kind of little depression because of my studies. I have big problems with passing some tests and I am starting to lose faith that I will really pass them. Oh please keep your fingers crossed for all June  for me!

p.s.2. sorry for those bad photos :)

the growing cupcake

yesterday I was making cupcakes.. and my A. decided to make a little experiment :) he made a video for me showing the process of baking! thank you ;*

{music - Café del Mar - Dreams - 10}

 you just have to leave me an oppinion about this, do you like it? it's our first time with videos, movie maker programs etc. small thing but such fun!

and if someone doesn't like videos, a quick photo of the 3 remaining cupcakes - they were gone soooo fast! well, who doesn't like nuttela and hazelnuts?! right?!

ohh and see those colorfull cupcake papers? my looovely cousin send me them from England, I am sooo thankful! I coulnd't find any good ones for baking here in shops! and those she gave me are sooooo beautiful colorful and I got them about 300!! thank you again Asia! I just have to 'know them better' and the cupcakes should look nice! those ones above aren't perfect.. I didn't know how these papers would behave :)

my weekend was wonderful thanks to my A! we were on my 'town's days' for a moment, walked in the rain, drank a bit (shh!) and played killzone 3 on my ps3! ahhh such a wonderful 3 days! <3 what a shame I have to get back to 'learning'

hope your weekend was good too!

elegance & romance

 I have finished this notebook today.. well I really shouldn't be crafting but I just couldn't resist spending my (unexpected) free time on sewing yesterday! Especially now, when I am just learning and thinking about school.. free time is a luxury!

I was thinking about making a notebook like this for a while, but I couldn't find the right fabric. But here it is! A navy-blue fabric with white dots ♥, a lace and a creamy leather strap. I love the colour set! It looks so elegant and romantic.. don't you think?

 I don't know why I am so glad of this one, maybe just because I didn't sew for too long! I really missed it;p hehe

 It was hard to get that creamy leather strap - so happy I found it!

 The interior is made of an old fabric from my grandma's wardrobe!

 Embroidered flowers ♥

Do you like it? I know the photos are bad, and they also don't show the true beauty of this journal. You have to believe in my word that it looks better in reality! It's a bit different style than I usually make, but changes are good.. aren't they? :) I really can't wait the end of my egzams, I have so many little projects in my head!

Thank you all for your lovely comments and visits! I really appreciate it :)

What's in your bag?

 'What's in my bag' - as you all probably know this is a popular game around the world. It's about showing everyone what is in your bag on various pages f.e. in this flickr group.

Thanks to the photo-game on art pisakownica I have put myself together (at last!) and made a photo. I wanted to make one for a year or something but I just didn't have any inspiration.

about the content:
bag ♥. notebook. wallet. tissue holder. key-plushie. pencil-case. purse. mirror - h&m. lipstick - inglot. tic-tac. red pepper (for safety;p). book - 'eat, pray, love' part 2 - elizabeth gilbert.

now seriously. bloggin is too addicting!!! I am supposed to be learning American Culture right now and I'm bloggin!!!!! hehe;d beware of blog addictions!

crafty PEEP swap!

 I have signed up for the Crafty PEEP Swap here a while ago. and finally my partner received her crafty swap things!

and here's what I made for my swap partner Rowan

 a spring set consisting of: a wallet, a tissue holder and a crochet needle/pecil case

 wallet

similar to the cloudy one

 but, it has a plastic recycled zipper - experiment :)

 big button

tissue holder

 just a simple one, fitting the wallet :)

crochet needle/pencil case

  I made photos before I pressed them - that's why it looks so crumpled!

ink sign - create with love

I have to make a similar to myself, as you can see it has eyelets - so you can hang it on the wall etc.. :) nice solution, I love lots of stuff hanging on my wall

ohh I hope she likes it!

now: mint yerba mate, nutella&hazelnut delicious cupcakes and... Sunday with learning and doing homeworks.. :( the worst thing about this is.. that the weather is so beautiful todayand I have to stay home and do stuff for school!
