First day of summer;)

Good morning!!!


Depending on the year, summer starts on 20 or 21 June in the Northern Hemisphere, but this year on 20, so today is actually already the second day, but never mind, what better way to start it with a piece of homemade chocolate cake with the strawberry on the top and cappuccino?




Yummyyy!!!Oh, what kind of coffee do you drink???In my country, people like to have different versions of coffee, but living in the house with Italian;), it is quite normal to have Italian kind of coffee;)






Well, the summer is definitely here and kids are already asking when we will be leaving to sea, which is not decided yet, so I'm trying to make them being entertained, either on the our bigger balcony or in some of the close park areas, like Kalemegdan where live many squirrels;) and kids like giving them the nuts:)







I'm trying to jump from one project to another, either doing clothes or accessories .

A few days ago, Katherine was so sweet to feature me on hers lovely blog. Thanks Katherine!!!!

Speaking of accessories, I have some cute new beads to share;)





Aren't they lovely??? I made them with some cute patterned paper (some fabric prints;)

And I'm also into starting to prepare some Christmas stuff,LOL...isn't that a bit absurd-to create stuff for Christmas on the first day of summer???







These cute vintage buttons are so cute!!!!I think that I'm going to use them for some clippies!



Enjoy your first summer weekend!!!

Beads, lace, dictionary and more

Well, the past few days were a sort of computer abstinence,LOL(checking from work and my sister doesn't count, right?).We changed some furniture in the house and therefore, we had to change to computer too (the old one just couldn't "fit" the new table anymore) that may sounds crazy...hehe. Actually, we had to replace to "normal" computer with the laptop one, as my minimalistic preferable style unfortunatelly influenced the computer style, too. Maybe I'm the only person in the whole world prefering the standard configured computer (including standard mouse and keyboard), but I suppose that I will get use to it;).
During these non computer days, I had much more time to give some creative ideas breakthrough...or let says craft madness moments.
And well, here are some results














I combined these newly made beads with some old ceramic ones, that I found at my granny's house and it was like discovery of the lost and forgotten treasure

















This is how it looks when on...



I think that I will list it on etsy;)


I also made other 2 necklaces with some felt and fabric and one with lace etc.
I started the first one by cutting the fabric flowers...and than stiching it to the felt shape.









I liked the idea of the composition with some tick branches



And finally I made the necklace that was so long, that I decided to rather make 2 smaller ones:)









The other one was made wits some clooney lace that I like so much









Well, have a nice weekend!!!!
