lazy days
Wednesday, December 28th, 2011Lazy days. Days when I´ve been away. Days with family. Days with parties. Days with wonderful food and long traditions. Days with winter-storms, rain and wind. Days partly with no electricity, no internet, like in older days. I´ve spent my free time reading books instead of online-blogs and articles. Embroidering and knitting instead of Photoshopping. [...]

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011I guess the big day is closing is closing in on us. Maybe I should do something about the remaining gifts…? Just yesterday this lovely pewter raven´s head arrived from ArtChix, and of course immediately inspired me to make this necklace. It´s combined with stones, shells and a couple of self-enameled beads from my Barbara [...]
