YAY YOU!!!

22/1/2019

You just look at this! I'm back!

Internet is slow again but I got my footstool pictures on my PC. Just to tell you that internet services in Ireland are VERY VERY poor! Don't believe any promises.. I have not seen 3G ever on my brand new galaxy S8 not event dreaming of seeing 4G ..ha ha

Na, after a bit of rage ...

As a result from Upholstery workshop I attended a week ago I would like to present my made from scratch footstool! Thah daa!

That was a wonderful Sunday! Full of craic and learning new skills. It was organized by Aileen from Shabby.ie and Annette one true professional in this area. Follow this link and you can find out Workshop Tour 2019 and many many more ....

So now check out what I have made myself with my own hands :)

Picked fabric. Thought it to be striking pattern and retro kinda feel fabric.

Painted grey washed stain for feet. Not sure it's 100% but knowing myself there will be a moment and I'll just grab a paint and do the thing. :D

Ohh and so many things I am able to make with skills I've learned. Cannot wait for Spring and outdoors to give it a go.

Want to say it again. It was a wonderful experience! Thank you Aileen and Annette! Your enthusiasm and knowledge are priceless!

AMOK - this is the new little project I was going to start today but our internet connection is so slow that I only now just opened weebly to post some random and unnecessary content onto my website.

If to look back on last months of 2018, then the picture is as follows:

* I didn't manage to post one a month
* I have missed years biggest event for crafters which is Christmas
* I have neglected my DIY projects
* I felt overwhelmed by I MUST do this and that and post about it
* I made some new year resolutions - which is a positive thing

Let's put up some pictures from my Christmas decor this year!

And I want to show you what I have become addicted to! A few purchases from Etsy!!! Absolutely adorable art work from EVI @happyvillageartwork

Evi makes these little clay miniatures with such a detail! I am addicted and they are too cute!

Oh Oooh and I participated in Upholstery work shop and made my own foot stool. That would be a real great reason for another post, isn't? I have pictures to share, yay!

But at the moment that would be it for today as another New Years resolution was to think about myself more ( as if 24/7 is not enough!) and look after myself more. So gel nails it is!!!

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!

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?!

Enjoy!
