I ♥ to create

Just want to share what is going on with me lately.I am still looking for a job with no luck:O(((. The only thing that gives me the positivity to go on is my sewing.I ♥ to create anything small and sweet.I have so many things on my mind that I would want to make in the near future.I also thinking of opening my first shop on etsy but only if I feel that my work is precise enough.I would like to sell all kinds of things that I sewn, painted, embroidered, crafted.
I find inspiration in small things of my everyday life:
♥Being outside, especially waking some times just sitting and listening
♥Having a sweet smelling bath
♥Literature and fairy tales
♥Coloured glass
♥Little things, like beads, buttons
♥Smiles
♥World and Classical music
♥Going to my favourite libraries ( I love to read and discover all kinds of great resources for crafts)

I want to thank you all for all the support good wishes.I promise that to share all the news with you very soon until then here are two more photoes of my workstation where I create.

Angel With a Heart

Be an angel to someone else whenever you can, as a way of thanking God for the help your angel has given you. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994


New Angels

I got into making angels lately.There are endless posibility in them and are the perfect project for my new sewing machine.I have so many ideas that I want to try and learning a lot by every project I get better and better.Hope you find the same.

Skating

'Oh almost forgot. Here are my very talented nieces skating away, enjoying every minutes of the ice.It was so lovely watching them. It brought back all the old memories of when I was a child and went skating every winter with my parents. i even remembered my favorite white skates with a gold ballerina silhouette on the leather.That was a moment I was missing so much to have abroad.Finally I really felt home again.

Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again.
~Bill Morgan, Jr.

Newbies

 This was a really gray week especially after the holidays I always find it so hard to find something to look forward to.I decided that it will be different this year as


You can't always change your situation, but you can always change your attitude.

Larry Hargraves
I am still thinking of how to perfect the idea.The first step towards it is bringing a lot of warm striking color into my sewing and crafting. Here are the first results.







Wishing you All the Best for the New Year!



The first two weeks are rushing by so fast of this year I hope the rest will be a bit more kind to us time-wise.I  like to thank you all for all your comments and support in 2010. This year has been one of the best years in my life. Especially our trip to America with my hubby. I will write about that in detail later on I promise.It was also a bit sad as I miss Ireland a lot since our move.My gran was down with a heart-attack at the end of the year and I was sick since we got back home.
A new year represents a completely new start - like a new piece of material ready to become something beautiful.I am looking forward to taking this new chance in the next twelve months to come and  I am sure that they  will be full of exciting things.
Let me wish you all the best for this year with and Irish blessing

    May you live a long life
    Full of gladness and health,
    With a pocket full of gold
    As the least of you wealth.
    May the dreams you hold dearest,
    Be those which come true,
    The kindness you spread,
    Keep returning to you.
