 You wonder how I made these? Here they are! 

Angry birds Easter egg decorating!

I was thinking of an unusual way to wish everyone who follows my blog Happy Easter and just before I went to bed I came up with the idea to make Angry Birds Easter eggs and I HAD to share it right away! :-) 

 If you would like to see how I decorated the real boiled eggs as Angry Birds, check out my video.

Pottery Barn inspired baby shower gifts

For some time now I have been pondering on the idea to make something that would resemble a real fabric design. 

When I was presented with the idea to make a gift for the baby shower of my son's teacher I wasn't sure where to start. Then I found out she likes a particular Potter Barn Kids comforter and I thought wouldn't it be nice if I actually made a whole gift set based on that design. It took me a couple of days to figure out how exactly I should do it but at the end I think I did very well.

I'm feeling blue...

No, I'm not sad nor depressed, relax! :-) I'm talking about feeling blue as a color, with every fiber of your body. I have never liked blue before, as a matter of fact I have been avoiding working with it. Recently I can't help but notice that my work is gravitating towards this color. 

Even I want " Marianne"!

Did you ever feel you would love it if someone gives you a gift that you created? This is what happened to me when I was creating this gift set. I totally would have loved to receive this one, no doubt about it.

I love this kind of  "rustic/nature friendly" look with all the warm colors. 

So if any of you ever wonder what I would like, take a look at this:

Dreaming of Summer ( and it's snowing)

How is it possible?! Seriously, it's Spring already ( technically) and it's snowing! Absolutely outrageous, Mr. April should really think about his behavior, because I'm getting tired of all these hats and scarves, and layers, and layers of clothes. 

I dream of a hot sunny day, of flip-flops and ice cream, a cold lemonade with lemon pulp and fresh mint...Aaaah.

Well, as for now, I'll have to just draw in warm colors and think positive, summer it's not that far ( I hope). 

Are YOU tired of this winter?
