D Craft Affairs Unique Handmade Decor for Home and Every Season

Starting to wrap up for chill and foggy mornings of Autumn ...

17/9/2018

I have already bought a bunch of Vitamins and Minerals to top up for coming Winter. But other than that I'm up to usual. Multicrafting :D

I usually chicken out of custom orders because I have few occasions when I'm all up to it but when I have started making, person so interested in just disappears.

But this lovely purple JOY sign in the background has started its' way to new owner.

And so we meet all kinds of people, don't we?

And with the Autumnal chills in the air comes my photo taking days with low light. Like one today!

I have planned to take pics of all my Cement pots for Etsy store today. I will have to pull out all white sheets and use them to create more light.

What would one crafter do for its' crafts!!!

Classic picture: our sitting room blocked from all exits with photo props, sheets, chairs as a holders together. All lights on! And me on the floor with camera doing yoga figures to get the right snaps of my makes. Gas!

I can do that only when I'm alone home on my days off!

This is one of them days. So let's get cracking!

Saw this quote on Facebook shared by one crafts addict, another one like me. So me!

Taking Summer break for now and leaving half done Welcome sign, bags of flowers for Halloween project, wind-chime from shells and ceramic fishes.... last one probably can stay till the next summer, cement bags and empty cottage cheese containers.... Happens all the time!

My Etsy store will stay open but posting will resume only on 27th of August.

I have just decided that I will offer 15% off my makes until 27th August. Why not!?

The promotional code is BeachTime

still working on my cementing skills

Finally I had to google a little bit more about behavior of cement.

No, I'm not in construction business! I'm DIY addict!

When I see something interesting I want to try it! I know how but I'm not specialist so I have to go trough trying and failing and fixing mistakes sometimes with the help of google.

Family of Cement pots are growing bigger and more versatile. I learned that I need patience and time working with cement. I just had to let it set and cure. I did not know that until I discovered little cracks appearing with time but i learned that they are harmless. So i'm happy my little creations wont fall apart.

Look at my latest drippy pot trio which might become quartet or even more. I like how they look and I thin they will suit cactus plants too well.

I really like these! They are very jolly! I was thinking to add little handles like for paint buckets but that probably I will leave for the next lot of cement adventure.

Ciao for now!

I'll keep you posted on cement DIY action

Starting new folder where I will exhibit my hand made CEMENT collection.

Cannot tell you if there will be only pots and airplant holders, it all depends how successful and lucky I will be working with this material.

By the looks I am still searching the perfect craft for me!!! Ohh well, it takes years,right?!

New cement gallery

While I'm on the right wave of web activity. HeHe, sounds doggy!

Decided to add new gallery with my latest interest in Cement pieces. I have made few cement decor for your home or office and still have a bag of cement in my shed. So in near future you will see me making more cement pots and vases and airplant holders.

My interest stretches as far as lamp shades from cement and maybe even furniture ..... I doubt that very much !!!
