Hearts

Every heart sings a song, incomplete, 

until another heart whispers back. 

Those who wish to sing always find a song. 

At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.

New home

A family bought and moved to a new house, and a very good friend of mine and her boyfriend moved to their very own flat.

To congratulate the family, I made this simple card with a house. Every individual part of the house is designed and cut by hand. I especially like the lace (curtain) on the window. 

To congratulate my friends I made a card and prepared a gift. The card is in the shape of the entrance door of their flat, and the heart represents love. I also wrote their surnames on the door mail slot.

To wrap my gift (hot chocolate and two lovely mugs) I used a shoe box wrapped in wrapping paper. On the inner side of the cover I glued a print of the house (downloaded from melonheadz illustrating), with positive words - love, family, trust, hope, respect, kindness, forever, faith.

I enter the card(s) to the following challenges:

Little calendar as a gift

At the end of 2013 I made little calendars, which I gave as gifts to my friends and family, but not all of them were published on the blog.
I take this opportunity and include all of them here.

I already published the tutorial here.

And a tip.. when the year came to its end, I just bought a new calendar cube and glued it on.

And two calendars with a hanger.

Hello

Dear fellow crafters,

a few of you told me you miss me, or were asking me why I do not post anymore...

It is not that I do not like crafting anymore... but just the current situation in my life. As some of you know, I live abroad, while all my crafting material is still located in Slovenia (I wish I could have it with me, but I just don't have space at the moment... or just too much stuff :P ). Therefore I only create while I go on holidays, which is unfortunately not very often.
Another reason is also focusing on my studies... which took over the majority of my time.

However, I do have some unpublished projects I have made (some of it are quite "old" and some of it really fresh), and I promise, I will be in touch and not disappear for so long again.

With love,
Renata <3
