New princess custom set

During this whole month, I was busy creating one complete new princess set for an etsy customer. I truly enjoyed every piece of this set and had a wonderful experience from the start till the end. Here are some steps of the way....from proposing and choosing the fabrics, making mock ups till the finished set.

Indian summer

It is still very warm here for this time of the year, and I am enjoying this Indian summer.....



This weekend was the first weekend full with homework to do for kids, and while seating on the table with my son, I used some of his "magic pens" and started doodling....have you ever tried to use them for your doodles? I know that they are fading away fast, but if you use scanner, it will last on your Hard Disc:)



So, I will call it "Indian summer", can't wait to finish the whole collection and show you:)



And here are some photos of my Indian summer harem pants (very popular and matching fabric necklace, that can be found @ etsy

Xmasy

A little bit over 20 days left till Xmas. I like this period, thinking about decorating and enjoying decorations and ornaments.

I love thinking about gift giving and all what goes with it...presents, wrapping, bows, cards etc...





Each year I think about making downloadable illustrations x tags, cards etc., but time is never enough for everything. Well, next year, hopefully. But I just love these little kraft tags I made last year



They can be found in my etsy shop and in Alere Modern shop.

Also, I will be participating in Sew, mama sew big Giveaway on December 12, so be prepared and if you have any ideas or wishes, please let me know;)) I am still undecided and unsure about what to Give away.

Necklaces

It's been a long time since I've posted something created with a fabric, and it's still on the very first place regarding my favorite arty-crafty materials. I am such a huge fan of the statement necklaces and I am always looking forward when getting custom orders for my button statement necklaces, using different patterned fabrics in aim to create something fun and unique to wear.



Regarding local shops where you can shop my stuff, such as Gradstor and Supermarket concept store , I had some requests to do the fabric button necklaces without the felt base, so finally I created a few and they are already on sale on those two above mentioned places:)







And here are a few skinny headbands that can go great with these new necklaces, very glam and can be great detail for the upcoming Holidays parties and festivities.
Hope you are in the mood for the gift giving and already in Xmas preps!!!

That time of the year

My poor, neglected blog.....it is hard to believe that I've been away from blogging for almost 2 weeks, but I was extremely busy with so many different things, always trying to push myself too much in so many directions....
With Xmas and Holidays season, I had so many orders that I needed to take care of and we also had a huge studio move and I am still thinking about where and how to settle my printing press, as I really want to make some more prints with it in the future:)
I found so many drawings from elementary and secondary school and it made me think about the years and things behind.

In 2 days I will be one year older and I somehow just hate the fact that the time flies so fast....but, on the other hand to celebrate it, I will be doing next post as a Giveaway, including some of my ornaments;)



And talking about the ornaments, in my IwannaBE etsy shop, you can find this lovely new addition, Bambi whirlwind snowflake.
