Challenge Time


Sometimes it's essential to break your boundaries, think out of ordinary. When making craft as a business it's not necessarily easy though. I mean a lot of things need to get done, get them ready and get them out to the world. Everything takes time, often you need to take care of it all just by yourself. Even though every self-employed person probably nods her/his head with me, the best part of this whole game is being independent but it is also the hardest part all the same: want it or not producing part can sometimes (or should I say often) be greater than the creative part.

I'm so grateful for Renate of Kreativlink! She's hosting a weekly challenge theme of my Etsy team this week. She wanted us to make something we haven't made before by using other technique one usually uses. I assembled a little object that can be used as a fridge magnet. It's made from a vintage metal coaster. I have added a layer of chalkboard paint on it, tied a bow with a piece of lace, sewed a few beads these and adhered them on the coaster and of course added a magnet on the back. It measures just about 9 cm in diameter so only essential things can be written in this small space. What do you think about it? This project made me really happy! You can see all entries right here.

Weekly Challenge - My Flowers


Last night I heard I had won the weekly challenge game of EuropeanStreetTeam hosted by Gaia. My challenge entry under the theme "delicate balances" was one of my new sakura clutches as seen in my shop. Thank you for this honourable mention!

Hereby I'm announcing a new theme for this week which shall be: MY FLOWERS! Feel free to interpret this as you wish. It's all about your flowers. Your favorite ones, your eyecandy in any form. Fresh, dried, real, fake, imaginative, dreamy, existing or non-existing, you name it.

The entries need to be sent to me via Etsy convo by next Monday at 21.00 Finland time (GMT +3). I'll be adding all entries to my blog as they're coming in. Happy crafting!
