Ilusat suve kõigile!

Esimesed kaunid suvepäevad on käes ja minul on üsna pikk paus siia blogisse tekkinud, aias on lihtsalt palju askeldamist olnud. Siiski-siiski ei ole ma ka käsitöö vallas laisk olnud. Olen proovinud heegeldada amigurumi tehnikas mänguasju, mille õpetused olen leidnud lilleliisi raamatust "Võluväega mänguasjad." Ja nii on valminud üks vahva koer Ramses ja tema väike sõber karu:

Ja üks pesakond hiiri, millest teise tegin helkurloomaks:

Tegelikult valmisid ka tellimustööna paar suurt kohverkarpi aga kahjuks rändasid nad uutele omanikele veel enne kui jõudsin neid pildistada, aga noh, ju polnud siis seekord ettenähtud.:)
Kingituseks olen teinud ka kaks tuunitud kommipurki, üsna sarnases stiilis aga siiski veidi erinevad:
Esimene:

...ja teine:

Sisuks said mõlemad purgid veidi tervislikumad maiused, kui tavalised kommid - Taaramäe talu ebaküdoonia-,maasika-ja mustika mahekrõbuskid. Üht-teist on veel meisterdatud, kuid fotod veel tegemata, nii et varsti saab lisa.

Suitcase - box

Some time ago I attended a course, where Jaanika taught us how to make this big box that has hinged lid and a closing. Ok, despite the fact, that some "experts" later on heavily criticized my finished work and the wrong methods our teacher used, I am still proud of myself for finishing it :p. Next time I will try some new and more effective methods, that my critic explained me to. Ohh well, decide for yourself how it came out...

I will keep it for my needles and threads. Translation of that label on front means "tools of angels" in estonian.
I would like to enter my project into following challenges:

bye-bye!

Emotionally high...

Sometimes when you craft, it gives you so much pleasure by just creating things and when the outcome is more than you imagined it would be, it is indescribable! Yesterday I started collaging jewellery, every one of them has its own story to tell, because of the items I used.

"Ancient memories"

"Lost and found"

"Rustic love"

"True blue"

"Unlock my heart"

Cafe de Paris

Hello dear friends,

This time I show you my recycled tea bag box. It all started with a need of box to collect coffee money in. In my work place we all drink coffee and buy all the necessary ingredients: beans, milk and sugar. Until now we had this old broken cardboard box to collect our coffee money - 30 cents for a cup. So now I have made a new pretty box for that, hope you will like it.

What I did? The original tea box was fragile and soft, so I covered it with cardboard, then painted it acrylic white and decoupage it with coffe theme paper towels. I added a fabric ribbon to open my box more easily and made some fimo embellishments: cakes and cookie. I also used metal coffee cup charm, paper flowers, coffee beans and a price label, that could be changed. Now the box is very strong and a bit stiff, because of a PVA glue. It came out real nice, hope my co-workers like it too.
I would like to add my project:

Thanks, Kats

To sum it up....

It has been a good year for me...I think :P My creativity has not left me and I have made some interesting art through this ending year. Thanks to all  these crafting friends who have inspired me and all these special people close to me.
This ending year has been also busy about developing my dancing skills and entertaining people from all over the country. I am very grateful for these opportunities, that life has given me. Here is a little sum up for the year 2014 as a dancer

Notebook cover and some more....

Happy holidays to everybody!

Some weeks ago I received a simple notebook, no decorations, no text on  it, nothing. So I tried to give it a bit more personality. I have chosen the ocean theme again (my favourite, can´t help it!) and used fimo, resin, pearl ex powder, seashells, pearls, tulle and lace. And here is how it turned out:
