Secret Santa
One of the teams we are member of on Etsy organized a Secret Santa swap. I feel so very lucky that AnnaRubyKing is my Secret Santa! I'm a huge fan of both her artwork and her jewelry.
I feel incredibly spoiled, the only luxerious problem will be that mum wants too, so a fight is waiting for us :)
She also sent us a piece of her beautiful printed fabrics, with starfish!
Cards, tags and a beautiful original piece of artwork, getting green aren't you? :)
Thank you so very much Anna, I couldn't wait till Christmas to open your package, but it felt like Christmas today :) Also a special thank you to Maria who organized and matched the Secret Santa's.

Our Creative Space...
I'm still having fun with soldering, and becoming more confidend to make more difficult pieces. These are the pieces I am working on right now.
Wood, glass, metal, stone, all come together, I hope they will become as I hope.
Pebbles and tiles with metal tails will become fun necklaces.
Not to forget, to my mother's dissaproval, I'm making a huge mess too :)
In the mean time mum hasn't been sitting still either, these two bags are my favorites that she has been making lately, love the natural touch of wood and linen. Both took her days to finish, a true labour of love.

Thanks to a 5 day national holiday here every shop and everything was closed these past days. Which gave me the time and inspiration to finally learn to solder. The materials and tools were waiting for me for years and with a great tutorial I've been having super much fun.
Here some previews of what I've been making. Everything needs to be cleaned, waxed and cleaned again and then I can finish the pieces, but I am too excited to wait for that so here they all are in their current state.
I spray painted a large piece of driftwood slightly white. Below it will hang the crystals, to become a cloud with rain drops, all with found or vintage materials.
A beach tile has become a pendant.
This will also become a wall hanging, with large corals, all found on the beach.
The red corals are farmed bamboo coral, and not in any danger, just for those who wonder :) And will become super fun necklaces.
My mum wanted a walnut boat for ages, finally it could be made, and look how super cute it is. The sailis a piece of vintage doily, which we made a border for with wire inside to keep it in a perfect shape.
And finally two sea urchin ornaments, to decorate your house all year long.
I will soon show the results when they are completly finished with better pictures!
p.s. Today is the last day that you can enter our giveaway!

Summers are long here, and our autumn has just started. Leaves are falling, i day time it is still very warm but nights are lovely cool and you can snuggle your blanket, it is just perfect. One of my favorite things in these times are trying to find leaves which only have there skeletons left, I find them amazing. These all remind me of that!
Wishing you a fabulous Monday!

An other manipulated fabric bag made with smocked gingham.
Using gingham makes the smocking very easy. I also like the clean and structured look that it creates.
And here it is : the Granny Smith bag, fresh as the apple. Will be available soon in our bagshop.
Our giveaway is still going, incase you have missed it :)
