Cross Stitch Treasure and Things That Make You Happy

-

I've got my hands on this little Cross Stitch Treasure. I don't cross stitch but it was so pretty, I decided to buy it for my Etsy shop. Even if I'm not going to make a big profit out of it, I need more items for sale. I might open a supply shop soon. I have a ton of stuff that I have never used and I keep buying more ~ help, I'm turning into a hoarder! Anyways, here is a preview of the cross stitch treasure :)






















 All of them brand new! Pretty cool, hu? I know you cross stitching divas can't wait to get your hands on them, I knooow...No worries, I'll put them up for sale in a few days, just for you. I'm on vacation until Sunday, when my Mom leaves. Family first. Business second. Everything else is bits in between. Being around the people you love and doing what you like for a living are the two most important things in life, I believe...and that's all I'm going to focus on from now on. It's all I need to be happy. :)


 See you soon!

A saint in the wrong place

I loved this short story written by  +Paulo Coelho   and wanted to share it with you. ‘Why is it that some people can resolve the most complicated problems really easily, whilst others agonize over every tiny crisis and end up drowning in a glass of water?’ I asked. Ramesh replied by telling the following story: ‘Once upon a time, there was a man who had been the soul of kindness all his life. When he died, everyone assumed that he would go straight to Heaven, for the only possible place for a good man like him was Paradise. The man wasn’t particularly bothered about going to Heaven, but that was where he went. Now in those days, service in heaven was not all that it might be. The reception desk was extremely inefficient, and the girl who received him gave only a cursory glance through the index cards before her and when she couldn’t find the man’s name, she sent him straight to Hell. And in Hell no one asks to check your badge or your i...

Yumi Rustic Art Beads Soup Recipe!

Image
 I have been preparing a rustic bead soup for my friend Solange from  YeeLen Spirit Designs  and it's finally ready! My ingredients:  ~ Rustic polymer art beads ~ Every bead is one of a kind, I rarely make them in pairs because I love experimenting. ~ Metal findings ~ A pair of metal elements from a vintage Native American belt, a vintage kuchi pendant, a set of fancy ear wires, hammered copper components, rhinestone spacers, religious art findings. ~ Yellow african glass beads, coral bead, two artisan ceramic beads from N. Carolina, that I've painted with alcohol inks. ~ More African glass beads, two small green trade beads, purple beans (!!), Lapis lazuli, long wooden  organic beads, african terracotta beads, vintage white and blue flowers ceramic beads, bone beads and some tribal bead caps.  That's the whole yumi bead soup, I really hope she'll like it. Bad pictures taken with my not-so-smart phone because I lost my usb memo...

Polymer Experiment Step by Step ~ Fragments of Time

-
Image
 Hi guys, how have you been? Finally, a new blog post, woho!   I have ordered some ceramic decals from Etsy ( something new for me to play with, yay ) so I was super excited to start working with them. I made many errors but have learned a few things as well, that I will share with you. So, here is my little polymer experiment. What I tried to achieve were small tiles that would look as made of stone or wood, with art images that seem to have faded with time, like the ones below.    Below are my results ~ they took me about five hours to finish because they have many layers of paint and glaze and I had to let each layer dry. I'm going to try to explain the process in a few very simple steps, if you want to give it a try. Start with a sheet of polymer clay, I have used white Sculpey , about 1/3 inch thick, bake it according to the instructions on the package and while the clay is still warm , apply a coat of  this ...

Shine

“Maybe we're just falling stars, we once danced in the same skyline looking down at the world.     And we've fallen like all others, from near and far, we've gathered together, but separated by time and space, keeping a part of that light that we've came with and spreading it in this dark world that we've chosen to live in, in order to shine some light and love around.   Maybe we've chosen to believe one truth today, and find it to be false tomorrow. Maybe we're trying to not get attached to the idea that we now know it all.     At night, we see the truth of where we've fallen from, gazing in that night sky full of distant stars, constellations, planets, the reflection of the Sun on the Moon, all with their own stories to tell.   Sometimes we wonder why would we leave such a mysterious place, with an infinite amount of stories and wonders.  Maybe it's because as stars we could've only seen each other's light from ...

Cookie Points Up There...

     I love spending time outdoors with my little bugs... ...what I don't love is seeing all the garbage people leave behind sometimes. As I'm walking my dogs I can't help noticing plastic bags, candy wrappers, an empty soda can... Pick it up! says a voice in my head... No way, gross! Why should I pick up somebody else's garbage?!     An old book from an antique store in Wisconsin, loved the cover.. .If it looked like this, I'd be garbage hunting all day. But it doesn't... I remember when Mikey and I used to go fishing and I used to pick up the empty beer cans, the fishing line and whatever else was left behind by other fishermen. It really bothers me. I can't enjoy nature with all that stuff lying around. And something else... Cookie points, remember? A friend of mine loves birds. He talks to them and always has a cracker or some seeds for them... Why are you always feeding the birds? I asked. I like them...  h...
