Hello friends!
I'm back! Yes I have a craft to share after such a long unproductive period.
This time I tried my hand at making paper straws from old magazines. This is a great way of recycling paper, newspapers and magazines. I used an old Fashion Catalogue for my straws.
The qustion is... what to do with these paper straws? My first project is a paper basket. Here it is, not as Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05544319811636783606noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892195118832152311.post-59278714813999131652014-04-29T20:51:00.000+02:002014-04-29T20:51:01.440+02:00Decorative Art
Hello friends!
I am really ashamed of myself for being away for such long periods from my blog but it seems my creativity needs some inspiration and I have none at the moment. This is the last piece of creative work I just finished, it was started a long time ago and finally I finished it today. I hope to have it framed soon and will hang it in my kitchen.
Ciao amiche!
Mi vergono molto Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05544319811636783606noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892195118832152311.post-62502921321713048862014-04-19T15:16:00.002+02:002014-04-19T15:16:47.871+02:00

Hello dear friends and followers!
I am really sorry for the long absence from my blog and from crafting. It seems like, what was my favorite hobby, crafting, has now become a secondary one and what was my second favorite hobby, photography, has taken over and gives me more satisfaction lately.
It's strange how things change, isn't it? I never thought that I would have lost interest in Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05544319811636783606noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892195118832152311.post-8422697806997404182013-12-31T17:43:00.001+01:002013-12-31T17:43:13.053+01:00

It snowed most of the day and so I took advantage of this and spent most of the afternoon making this cute "Santa" Wine Bottle Cover. Winter days are the days I craft most, and you?
E' nevicato quasi tutto il giorno e me ne sono approfittata per fare questo Copri Bottiglia a forma di Babbo Natale. Ho trascorso quasi tutto il pomerriggio per farlo.

Halloween isn't as popular in my country, Italy, as it is in the States but it is now gaining in popularilty especially among the younger generation. This is why I don't usually decorate much for this celebration. Here's my, last minute, front door decoration, ( I live in an apartment so I cannot use big decorations) a very simple and quick ghost just to be in the right festiveSuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05544319811636783606noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892195118832152311.post-16651000524631250222013-10-10T16:09:00.002+02:002013-10-10T16:10:50.593+02:00Recycled Woolen Sweater
I love recycling , it's nice to create new things from old stuff .
I made this cushion using an old woolen sweater that I was about to put in the container for used clothing. I know there are many ways of recycling old woolens but chose the simplest one ... I love cushions.
Amo il riciclo creativo, è bello creare nuove cose da roba vecchia.

Hello there! Hope everyone is doing fine!
I am back as promised and this time I am posting the last two projects I made with the raffia hearts.
Today's first project is a box frame where I put a raffia heart on a gingham background. It has a very nice country look and is just right for the kitchen.
The last project in this series of Raffia Heart Crafts is a curtain tie back. To make this I Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05544319811636783606noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892195118832152311.post-20700530557473686582013-08-27T15:04:00.001+02:002013-08-27T15:25:42.288+02:00Raffia Heart ... Projects 1 and 2.
Every promise should be kept and so here I am, as I promised yesterday, with my projects.
I used the raffia hearts in two different projects as you can see in the pictures.
The first project is a simple hanging ornament. I added some copper wire with beads to form a loop on the heart and violà here's a hanging ornament.
The second project is a tiny bit more complex. I made a box from card stockSuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05544319811636783606noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892195118832152311.post-36745970293164165462013-08-26T15:16:00.000+02:002013-08-26T15:16:08.706+02:00Raffia Heart
Shame on me... I abandoned my blog way too long.
Every time I come to post I say the same thing, mainly, that I won't stay away so long next time, but it looks like I keep doing it. This time, I will refrain from repeating the same thing since I never know when those creative ideas will come and go. It's all up to that creative spark , you never know when it will come again.
Right now it's Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05544319811636783606noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892195118832152311.post-67307530928705106822013-06-28T19:22:00.000+02:002013-06-28T19:26:41.252+02:00Lace Flower Earrings
Here I am once more with another new pair of lace earrings. I found these lace flower appliques and turned them into earrings in a flash.
Eccomi di nuovo con un altro paio di orecchini di pizzo. Ho trovato queste applicazioni di pizzo a forma di fiore, e le ho subito trasformate in orecchini.

I made these lace earrings to add to my collection of Lace jewellery. If you want to try and make your own I suggest you stiffen the lace piece before adding the earring hook .
I mixed 2 Spoons of Craft glue (Vinavil Glue) to 1 spoon of water. Dipped the lace in this mixture covering all the surface and then laid out flat on a plastic sheet to dry overnight.

In my last post, (the one about my lace necklace) I mentioned another project I would have shared on my blog. It is about making my own handmade gift tags.
I had good fun designing my own tags, using whatever I had on hand at the moment and the result was very pleasing. Here are the finished tags.

Hello friends!
I hope everybody is having a nice week. I have finally got back to my crafting after a long period of a total lack of inspiration but now my mind seems to have found some new ideas which I am about to share with you.
The very first idea I am sharing is this new project... making jewellery with lace inserts. A lace necklace.
What do you think? Pretty?

I am not in the mood for crafting lately so I have no new projects to share right now. The only thing I can share with you are these old drawings I made many years ago.
I rediscoverd them in an old chest trunk while I was doing some Spring cleaning. They are not perfect, but I am very fond of these Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05544319811636783606noreply@blogger.com5
