we were at the botanic gardens of dublin last thursday.
i took loooaaaads of pictures.
so hard to pick a favorite, but here's one that makes me smile. ^.^

happy weekend! xx

fabric coasters

i love linen. it's texture, it's crumple.
i love fabric coasters.
i've made lots of them before, but didn't really feel confident about selling them. i didn't think people would actually be willing to buy them. so i gave them away as presents.
i was surprised that they actually liked them!

so one day a couple of weeks ago, i made a few sets again.
spent a day styling and photographing them.
the best part was that i get to drink all the chocolate drinks and cups of coffee i made. yum.
oops, the ones showed in this set are cups of green tea. i love it too.

i posted the pictures on my facebook album.
if friends like them, or notice them at least, then maybe, just maybe, i can sell them.
and i'm a lucky girl to have good friends on my list.
i was able to sell a few sets in a week's time!
hooorraaayyy! it felt good. ^.^

here's what Joy has to say about her loot *blush*. click.

let me know if you'd like to order some, i'd be really really really thrilled.

cheers! xx

handmade bookmarks

busy, busy, busy lately. but it's all good though.
spent my days, and weeks creating. just feeling my hands do it.
loving photography too!
i can't decide which one i like best, to craft or to take photographs.
i guess both.
it's a beautiful opportunity to be able to do what you love doing.
and making people happy with them.
i love happy endings.

these are giant paperclip bookmarks i made with fabric-covered buttons. love love love. ♥

thanks for dropping by! xx
