on my window this week

Using cake baking forms for something I'm much better at - mood boards of the passing moment...

I'm seriously hoping for pink, white and blue.

Christmas tree wall hanging

Something different for a Christmas tree? No room for one? No problem.  You can hang it on the wall. Made from driftwood sticks and some rope, this Sydney tree not only is space and eco friendly, but it looks really good too. I would add some hanging candy...

December votive jewelry

New necklace line from Bauble Arcade jewelry! 
These charm/votive/amulet necklaces are a threat…Using vintage items I have been collecting for a while, combined with contemporary ingredients, with a twist and a kink. I love making them, and I love wearing them too. However, for the first time they are for sale here.

dinner set pot plants

I own an old and very fragmented dinner set - no bowls, few cracked dinner plates, and some soup and sauce dishes without lids. One of those things you don't want to throw out, but don't quite know what to do with…until I got an idea. First there was one:

then another one:

Then the third:

and, since they seemed happy enough, I started playing around:

Anyway, it's just an idea.  To go and ride your grandma's sideboards, buffets and credenzas...

Malta mysterious

On my recent trip to the mysterious Mediterranean island of Malta I saw some interesting things…
Well, basically Malta consists of sea water and limestone,

some very steep streets,

towns that look like movie sets,

curious little boats,

and very big boats,

very comfortable sofas,

rugged romantic landscape,

unexplained "cart ruts" imprinted in hard rock all over the island,

cool dogs,

 unusual clocks with one handle,

beautiful sunsets,

and more water.

for a bleak day

For a gloomy day outside, this simple leek on my window is such a sport! It really cheers me up.
