​MONDAY...


And big fat underscore!

I meant to start few new projects but weekend went by in a blink. And I find myself stressed out sometimes, where the time went!? I haven't done anything I thought I will. I think a lot. Bold and underscore - knowing myself too good. I need a plan written on the piece of paper with the stars or numbers in orderly manner at the beginning. 

Ok, now when I haven't started any new projects or if I'm precise I haven't completed any new makes. I have started at least 20 at this stage and they are all somewhere in my craft-room. And about few I've forgotten I'm pretty sure. I can look back on some projects I have forgotten to mention here on my social platform. [ironic, little bit proud and not sad]

Flower arrangements
Over the years of my craft adventure I have made few unusual lovely fresh flower arrangements.
This one - Flower shoe came in my mind when we got super bargain of some Christmas stuff. Glittery shoe with prosseco bottle cable tied to it.

Actually that red shoe can be very well Christmafied! Look, another project on the way!

About use of it I'm not so sure but it might look just cute on the buffet in your entry hall at Christmas time ;)

Flower ball was so easy to make. You just need a pot. Any shape or size, oasis piece, shape it in round form and a bunch of very open blossoms of any kind of summer flowers.

With this I prolonged life of two bunches of coronations and it looked pretty on the mantle piece.

I apologise for yellowish light of the picture. Magnolia walls and poor photography skills. :)

Rustic burlap, roses and rosemary pot was and is my favorite arrangement I made for Mothers day.

Last but not least two flower hearts on oasis I made for someones lovedones who are not with us anymore. So sweet and delicate!

These has so much potential and versatility! Suitable for any season and many occasions!

Days are noticeably longer now and sends us into tidying and decluttering mode.

Finding the right place for every craft supply, half-finished project in my craft room is tough task and even more difficult is to find that one little bit you need right now. Drawers and storage boxes, shelfs full of tins of paint and varnishes....Yea, you can find few bottles with stones for those hipster type of projects :)

Etsy is opening this craft studio and I was thinking. During my hoarding times I have uncountable amount of different bits and pieces in my possession for never accomplished diy projects.
​
I shall check out that Etsy studio and see if I can free some space and find them a useful home.

Imagine, succulent in wine cork blossomed again this year! Cute and amazing!

Just a quick review of last years gift ideas for Mothers day.
​I LOVE the rosemary pot wrapped in burlap with fresh roses in it!

Will see what else I will come up with  ... I even don't know that myself :)

spring is in the air...

I am impatiently grouping pots with my spring bulbs around the back yard. Which one has hyacinths, which one contains snowdrops...hmmm!!

I'm trying to remind Richard not to trow out those few dead looking pots. They are not dead, there are roots and that begonia will come up! What begonia? We don't have any begonia! YES, we do :D

With spring in the air comes cravings for new ideas. I'm on the Pinterest and scrolling through the Instagram for new DIY ideas.
It is like artistic havoc in my head. It is not good, it's overwhelming at times. 

What I would say to myself!?

Simplify!

and ONE THING AT THE TIME, Dace!

today - varnish those DCA letters misses :)

This morning I had a real struggle uploading my images here on the website. Maybe now it will go up easier.

At least weather is lovely and sunny today so I will look on the bright side of things :)

I've had this a bit tacky glittery plastic shoe bought on clearance (yep, we love clearance stuff). And as always on Pinterest you can find any ideas for any occasion so I pined this red heart / red roses flower arrangement in the shoe on my Flower arrangements board.
After a walk down to Lidl for flowers and one spray can of green paint  and voila  ... 

Funky flower arrangement

... maybe Valentines day decor.... or just to welcome Spring.

​Cheers
Dace
