holidays are over ...

tuesdays "work"

...and i don't think that's a big secret. was a lot of fun, but it flew by way 2 fast. i barely got myself off the "lazy" mode. and i'm still gathering all the festive pictures to post.

i love free days. 

i finally made progress on some creative stuff, realizing some home improvement ideas, went to IKEA, cleaned up the room (well, the desk, but its a big one so it counts), baked and cooked some delicious stuff, got a whole bunch of lovely gifts (and gave aswell), ate an enormous ammount of cookies, spent the NY with awsome ppl...

i hope you all had a great time.

cloudy broaches

i've made a new batch of broaches. soft clouds with colorful rain drops.

i'm already thinking of next year's spring.

gifts ?

since it's Christmas time (can't say i'm feeling it, since it's getting warmer. where is the snow?!) many of you are thinking - what to buy? - for that special someone - a loved one, a friend, parents, ...
let's face it. if you don't really know what someone wants, you're pretty much overwhelmed and under pressure of buying some stupid and quite overpriced gift, that will later on find it's way in the lost box of the Cellarland. or you take the easy way out by buying socks and shower&cream gift packs for everyone. for the fifth year.

i'm very much PRO diy gifts. creative, not pricey, great ideas out there! and you can be sure you'll get at least 30 min of focused joy of the recipient :)

none the less, you can still find some great gifts to buy, without hitting your piggy bank too hard + you still get extra originalty points.

i've made a little "gift sampler" of things that are - not too serious, artsy, colourful, trendy & by taking a closer look @ the websites, you'll see you can find something special for everyone around you (even gran*).

d i y .3

i think over a year ago, i came across these masking tapes from Japan.

since then i've had a little obsession over them. it took me a while until i go my hands on one, then two, four....

i love how diverse they are and quite frankly i don't use ANY of scotch tape, for wraping presents or sending a letter (holiday cards beware!), anymore.

since my masking tape "collection" got bigger for 8 new ones, i've noticed i don't have a place to store them. so, i've decited to make my own MT holder.

here we go:

 1 - you will need:

- a measureing cup

- ceramic molding powder/moulding compound

- a medim thick branch

- water

- stir stick

- acrlyic colours

- plastic modul (anything you can find at home, i used cottage cheese cup)

 2 - measure the powder in the modul - i used two whole cups of powder; 

so, if you use 2 cups of powder you add 1 cup of water -> if you need more powder (depending on how big your modul is)you add along -> 3 cups dust + 1,5 cup of water and so on...

make sure you match the stick to the right modul (tall=wide...). preferably modul should be wider than taller, so it can distribute the weight evenly.

 3 - pour the mixture into the mold, holding the stick straight in the middle. i've put the modul under the radiator deep enough, so the stick would be leaning against it, keeping it (stick) straight while the mixture drys (you can gently tape it to the radiator, to make sure it will stay in its place). leave it to dry for a few hours.

4 -  carefully take the dryed mixture with a stick out of the plastic modul. because its a bit bigger than decorative moduls, i suggest you leave it over night, so the inside of the modul will be completely dried.

5 - after modul is completely dry, you can start the creative part. the colouring. for the bottom part and a bit of a branch i used acrlyic spray- colour: old gold. secure the other part of the branch with a spare plastic bag and a bit of tape.

6 - spray it outside and at least 25 cm away from the mould. leave to dry for 1 hour.

7 - pick your favourite colours and start colouring. i've used turqoise, magenta, silver, blues, green in a native american-inspired pattern.

8 - i used some colour on the base aswell, just to even the holder out.

t h i s    i s    i t   !

your own MT holder is done! + you can use it for bracelets aswell.

have fun creating.

apartment therapy

apartment therapy indeed!

i love love LOVE this website!

full of lovely tours of apartments, that prove that Americans DO have a sense of style (i beg you pardon, but many of home decorating shows and styling checks have proven otherwise).

a real rest for the eyes and a great idea teaser!

again ... LOVE IT !

here are just a few pictures, to see what i'm so openly "lovin' at" (all San Franciso region).

loving the light green letter M

chalkboard wall is a "must have"

great mix of colours + the cat <3

magenta rox !

great green + white + lol @ the cat <3

it's funny how all apartments have a suttle thread of common. but things that are noticable that almost all of them have are: 

- frames in all shapes and sizes, 

- ikea vs. expensive designer, 

- old vs. new, 

- big letters, 

- chalkboard & 

- at least one pet <3 :)

be sure to put this website among your bookmarks and enjoy the tours!
