Giveaway time!

March 11, 2012

Dear readers, it’s time for a new giveaway to show you my appreciation and to thank you for your feedback and support! <3
Lots of you regularly leave well-thought and supportive comments below my posts and this helps and always encourages me a lot. :)
Moreover, as many of you already know, I looooove reasons to celebrate and since I gained lots of new followers on pinterest and because my products on DaWanda have been bookmarked 600 (!!) times and because there are 100 people who pinned my shop on DaWanda, I thought it was time to say THANK YOU and to give away a little gift. :)

Eeeeks, I’m so excited and happy! :) So as a little something to thank you,
you can win a pair of hand-painted moustache mugs, I love them so much! (In case you don’t win, you can find them on DaWanda… :))

All you need to do in order to win is to be a visible follower of my blog and to leave a comment below this post with your e-mail adress and a comment telling me your favourite thing about spring! :) Only one post per person, no extra entries possible. :) The giveaway ends next Sunday, March 18, on 6 p.m. (Central European Time).

Good luck! :)

Has anyone of you, particularly those from the US, seen the complete movie? So far I’ve only seen this amazing trailer and I’m so sad the movie isn’t available here. Maybe I should read the book one day. <3

I discovered this video this morning and I totally love it! It’s so amazing when people reclaim urban areas and create new spaces for a natural environment. This rooftop garden is amazing and I love how she explains how she loves what she does! Moreover, the light and the atmosphere in this video are amazing!

Do you already know Katie’s colorful blog? This video is sooo extremely inspiring and I love her concepts and her creative philosophy, you should definitely watch this! :) This video made me smile a lot! :)

I hope you like those videos as much as I do! :)
Happy Saturday!

Dear readers, ready for the weekend? I’ve been staying in bed all day, because I’m ill. :( The good thing is that I can relax a bit, watch series and surf on the Internet while I’m drinking tea and trying to get well soon.
I thought it was nice to share a few of my favourtie Pinterest finds (for those who still don’t know Pinterest, it’s like a virtual pinboard to organize and share virtual inspiration, you can find my pinboards here :)).
What’s your favourite things on the list? :)
Happy weekend!
Lu :)

Hello! :) Here are lots of pretty new pouches I sewed and listed on DaWanda! :) Some of them are for pencils, others for cosmetics and other stuff. :) Which is your favourite? Which pattern do you like best, which fabric makes your heart beat faster? :)

Make sure to check out my shop, there are also many pretty other items! :)
For those who asked my questions about my craft room and how I organize things, I responded to your questions in the comment section below the last post! :)
Thanks for always giving me feedback, I really appreciate this and this makes my blog worth being written! :)

P.S.: For those of you who know a lot about blogger, I posted a blogger-related question on my facebook site, maybe one of you can help me with this technical issue, I’d be glad! :) Thanks!!

A peek behind the scenes.

March 4, 2012

Happy Sunday, lovely readers! :) Did you enjoy your weekend? I had a good sleep, delicious breakfast, a looooong walk in the forest with Mogli, a neighbour and her cute dog, I sewed and took product photos and listed new pouches on DaWanda AND I went to the fabric market and bought lots of pretty fabric for a tiny loop scarf spring collection… :)
The weather was awesome and the light in my room was so bright that I thought it would be fun to share a few photos and to show you how I store my handmade items. :)

I’ve got one of those awesome IKEA shelves and it is perfect for all those things which are listed in my online shop. I’ve got so many pillows and mugs and pouches and the little boxes help me to organize everything. :)

Moreover, I have an etagiére from Koziol, it’s made of recycled plastic and it’s awesome to store brooches. On the photo above you can see a part of a turquoise picture frame, there I organize earrings. The easel next to my wardrobe is used to hang up bags and totes (I haven’t used it for painting for a really long time) and the little embroidery hoop is perfect for little sewing tools like scissors. :) Do you see the tiny, pink spice rack? It’s vintage and there I store my textile colors. :)
As you can see, my sewing / crafting corner is well organized and this makes it way easier to store lots of items at the same time. :)

Do you like what you see? I simply love my room, especially this part of it! :)
How do you store your handmade stuff?
By the way, more of my room and my home can be seen here. :)
