more time, more sleep...



Weekend wishlist
(find some other weekend wishlists on Karuski's blog)

Only two things on my wishlist: more time and more sleep.
(I had two terrible nights (with too less sleep), I feel a wreck:-()

Last week:
I've been busy with orders(remember the recycled paper necklaces!)
made a bunch of Japanese garden earrings,
finally did some sales shopping in town (in a hurry)
bought these in olive green.
saw this 'moving' theatre play
catched up with a friend I had not seen for months
tried to find a nice holiday-place for this summer vacation


I truly wish I had more time to practice my metal class skills.
Hm, I need to investigate in some more tools too, and these are not cheap,...
I've been soldering lots of rings (little ones, bigger, copper, silver).
and I already assembled one pair of earrings with some rosey copper rings, I like the quirky rough touch of the rosey copper, a lovely contrast with the translucent aqua/teal/mint color of the agate stones.
Te earrings are in my shop now.
A matching necklace is on it's way!

Alice



Haven't found the time to show you this.
It's created for the Challenge hosted by Kreativlink "make something you never did before"
I made a journal.
This is the cover, I still have to finish it and make the inside.
The illustration is from a vintage 'Alice in wonderland' book I found at the thrift shop last week. The fabrics are all vintage. ANd I just love the stamp.

hm, this reminds me I have to pop in the thrift shop today, you never know which treasure I will find this time.

New Playlist :-)

Serpentine
Deus


I'm caught in the flow of things
My memory's a broken machine
This is how my day begins
This is just one day unseen

Lets do it serpentine any time
Lets do it right here

It is bad that you're good for me
Did I love you just randomly?
I'm caught in the flow of sound
And you're just some melody

Let's do it serpentine, any time
Let's do it right here

There's a cute little litany
Put it on my shoulder
Eight o'clock and we agree
It makes me look much older

Got my clockwork company
Got my dark green trenchcoat on
I'm sure it will always be
Someone staying and someone gone

Let's do it serpentine, any time
Let's do it right here
Let's do it serpentine, I don't mind
Let's do it right here

I hope you had a lovely weekend! So was mine!
Although my weekends are always full of kids( some friends of te kids came to play and to sleep in), I managed to have some things done. (like my 'colliers de papiers' in the previous post. I also gathered the material needed for the European Challenge (hosted by Kreativlink), but still have to finish this project today!

In the meantime my house is a mess. I decided to be blind for it and leave it all to the cleaning lady tomorrow!

And now off to prepare my week planning, I feel I need one, since I am selling now in 5 shops (including mine) there has to be some structure in my week!



If you want to create a moodboard of your favorite European Street Team Designs, make your mosaic and add a link to your blogpost (NOT your blog please) or Flickr in Mister Linky (click on the button below and fill in your name with the link to your blogpost or Flickr picture).

Les Colliers de Papier


It was a while ago. So I was surprised, but very happy with this order.
(and it's a perfect(ecological)way to get rid of my old magazines!)

This weekend, I mixed and matched some new 'Colliers de Papier'.
Look how these fashion pages turn into brand new necklaces!

Fun is that browsing my fashion magazines and looking at the pictures gives me inspirations and vibes for new colorcombo's and new summer designs!
