Fruit of the Fabric

It's been a fabric-y week for me and hurray! I've done this! - admittedly not quite finalised inside, but the finishing touches will follow this week, hopefully with lots of 'pretty junk' ideas to add to it! And this is just the beginning of my fabric frenzy as I've just managed to order here some amazing textile bouquets that I'm so excited to start snip snip-ing, sewing machine here I come again!

Online wander Wednesday

Usually the internet is an easy way to lose yourself in random pages but today for me is a lucky internet day as I stopped and read these findings which will be very useful to come back to for feeding my inspiration. Also I came across an older inspiring online friend, 7gypsies, who now have their own blog, well,, this will definitely be added to my readings for future come backs. It's amazingly addicitve to see their crafty-licious ideas.

New year, new inspiration




It feels like a rather long time since I last jotted on my page - now the new year is here, I am making my own resolutions - using my creativity more and making the most of inspiring moments - being two of them.
Christmas 2008 has been a white wonderland place that I visited and is, as ever, close to my heart, but I brought back with me, in a little camera, all the moments that matter and this is how they look. It's interesting how that snow made me feel so warm -hearted, as cold as it can be!
Back to my art studio, I've been driven by the smells of Christmas cooking in mama's kitchen to create my very own Family Recipe box where I'm going to put all those treasured hand-written recipes that I kept collecting over time but unfairly piling them between the leaves of a Romanian cooking magazine. Now they finally have a shelter and hopefully will entice me to revisit and reuse them more often. And this is how I got to confess my other resolution for 2009, cooking more and enjoying cooking more! I'm hoping my inspiration will reach new dimensions and fill me with the simple joy of being creative in more ways than one!
