First of all I would like to wish every one happy and successful New Year! and second of all I would love to apologize for my sparse interest in creating this year. I know ! I don't believe myself that I have gone so saggy and post only once a month. Life goes in waves - up and down. Now there is down in my craft affairs I guess. Sad times but hey! Life goes in waves! We shall keep our spirits up and hope that spring comes with fresh ideas and a lot of energy for my creations. In a blink of an eye I will have to pull out my Spring ribbon garland and Easter bunnies. Lets hold on horses and enjoy this holiday time. I don't have to do anything if I don't want to. Now! at least :) So lets just look back on my best bits from 2017! the last one with Hungarian langos in my face was definitely the one of moments :)))) other pieces are from my Etsy shop which I opened in 2017. Was excited and still am when I see notification of sale from my Etsy! Then I have little happy dance, as you do! Some of my makes has been sold during this year but most importantly, new owners has been very delighted for what I am super happy bunny! :) Just trying to download some of Christmas decors I made for this festive season ... bare with me ....
If I say I'm trying the best to manage my time and make my stuff for this festive season. :) Liar liar pants on fire ....
I have few little and larger projects started but adrenaline rush around this time of the year is unbearable. We all are bombarded with X-mas this and X-mas that, adds on TV, galore of leaflets pouring through the letter box... I'm actually not surprised that this time can be very depressing for many. It gives you feeling that you can miss something, ooh God, how to deal with modern day life and not get overwhelmed by all MUSTs!? The title of this post reflects the reality I am in the moment.... once or forget it at all. Quite often I pop in to my web site to assure myself that yes, I have post sent this month!! As I have discussed before, posting twice a week has gone down to once a month. I blame dark Winter evenings. It's the worst time for photos and the best time for Seasons decor. Oh not this year, not in this household!
I am quite sure that normal people ... normal people ha ha... don't have multiple boxes under beds with labels like "Halloween stuff", "Deers", "Easter", "X-mas lights" etc. All those labeled boxes and baskets I have are all purposed for indoor decorating as the seasons go and come. My PC is simple piece of technology and I don't own any fancy software for editing and retouching images and sometimes I just give up and don't post anything for a while. Extent of my editing is Picasa. So I just want to try to make a decent display of my season decors I've done in my gaf. I LOVE MY TOPIARIES! This vintage look egg tree can be used every year. Just realised I have roll of artificial grass at home! Last X-mas and year before. Moss is one of my favorite materials to work with. If I could or rather if it would sell I would make decors mostly with natural materials.
I don't celebrate Halloween but I had so many little pieces sourced and I have this board on Pinterest - Crafts to try that I just couldn't let it go by so easy. After last years Halloween I have another box of Halloween stuff under my bed. This post is taking ages! :)))) a year long! actually it's not all, because sometimes I have decorating rush between the seasons. I just come up with some kind of idea or I have bought a piece in TKMAXX .... again. I love their household section sooo sooo much, if only I would be rich... Chat to you soon
Dace is it any crime to be an owl? possibly not! but you all know that life trows all kinds of time schedules at you during your life time. On a large scale I don't mind early mornings or late nights when there is a routine and consistency. Lately there is not and I'm adapting or if I'm honest ignoring. I bought this book by Sarah Knight "The life changing magic of not giving a f**k" It is an amazing book! I would f****ng recommend to anyone who sometimes at least once feels like burning out. When I feel like giving a f**k away for nothing .... I tell to myself - Will this matter tomorrow if I will be dead?!
I guess you know the answer! Thanks Sarah Knight! Chat to you soon Dace |
