Getting crafty

So I really managed to open the shop again and add some crafty items. I decided to use my love fr colour to put together lucky parcels fo paper crafting. To make a series I decided to call the "twentysomethings" because the buyer will get at least 20 items to craft with. So the final number of items may vary. Maybe there will also be 30 somethings or so - we will see. 

 

  Paper makes me happy and it is a bliss to go into your own craftroom on a rainy day, rummage through your stock and creating piles of nice paper...
 

 

Getting crafty

Last week I was totally inspired by this:

And I really managed to make something with it. I took out the old music sheets, a box with paper scraps, scissors and glue. What do one need more to produce a collage? Out came this:

I already have the matching frame so off tomorrow to the shop to have it made correctly and nicely. It will be the newest addition to our guest bathroom to make it look nice with all the green pictures like in our Mexican bathroom (where the sun was shining more frequently, of course...)
And I found so many nice pictures matching the green colour week theme:
I had a look at Gennine's photostream and fell - very expecteldy- over so many nice shades of crafty green

And of course here is Mrs. Colour: Jek

And there was more and more. You could sit the whole day in front of theis computer and make mosaics - themed or not!


WHAT AN INSPIRATION!!!
I was not lazy and made some collages. Colour themed:
and not:
And even the dolls got new outfit to wear. It was only for the fashion show on Flickr and later on they had to give back the dresses to put them into the shop

And if I only had more time I could have made more and more things. There are still some in the pipeline in green but today is Sunday and I promised to start with another colour each Sunday...

New small projects and some thoughts

Trying to put things together for the shop. Everybody who sells on Etsy knows how much time it takes until you finally have yor items listed there. What I need is nice weather to take shots of the new items. You can't take nice pictures on a rainy day - how much easier was that in Mexico... You just got up and had the sun shining.
I am busy organizing, finishing swaps, taking care of the renovation of the house from around the corner, thinking of new projects and filling little notebooks with so many ideas. There is so much one can do but unfortunately you have only a limited time span everyday to sit down and be creative. But this of course is whinging on a high level. I am blessed to be able to be creative everyday and to have the support of my loved ones. I just have to take care of the children and some household tasks and don't have to work. I am thankful for that and can't tell my husband often enough how happy I am to have him who made this come true...
