Random Joy (A Very Colorful Edition)

colorful glass flower beads for crafting

Crafting is my love and joy and a few lovely and colorful things of crafty kind have made me really happy recently. I love those phases of my creative process where I gather cute little things and let them inspire me. Ahh, pure joy! And the joy gets even bigger if I can share those little thingies with you…

I enjoy using my new colorful flower beads. They are already playing an important prettifying role in my new crochet project (psst, more on that in my later post).

I also enjoy my new Ikea frame that I have adjusted a little and use it as a presentation board for my crochet ornaments.

And these heart beads – them and me, that is true love.

I have yet to find a way how to use these wooden sticks (any ideas?). But aren’t they just adorable?

And these ribbons. A colorful ribbon is a girl’s best friend… is what I say.

I really love my new owl notebook too. Oh, and it came with an owl pen. Ahh, my heart is happy.

Thanks for letting me share my little joys, dear friends! I appreciate it!

Wishing you a nice day!

Lovely Handmade Baskets

handmade baskets

I have always been a big fan of crafts and handmade products. They hide so much love and make me truly and utterly happy. I love looking at them, I love studying each and every part of them, I love imagining life stories of people who created them and why they were drawn to this or that particular craft. And most of all, I absolutely marvel at products made by my own people, I mean, my family.

Like, these baskets, they were made by my Grandpa – an avid basket weaver.

I introduced his work to you a couple of years ago. I loved his recent baskets so much that I thought I’d definitely need to share them with you.

Enjoy!
