My creative space

This week I have my daughter at home with flu, so I cannot study. We spend time doing various craft, and I have started to make a rug weaving some old tshirt I've decided to recicle instead of throwing it away.

My creative space

I can't believe how relaxing is to crochet ! I currently don't have time to learn some complicate kind of crocheting, so I go on combining the simple chain, one side to another,leaving holes on purpose to break "boring" lines....I have no idea what it will be once finished..but at least it works great to relax me!

Woof!

Woof!Arf! A dog for my daughter! She loves them! Whenever we meet one she drool over, but with a cat and living in a flat, we don't think it's the right time to have one (we love huuuge dogs!who needs big spaces)..but she is soo happy with a surrogate!

Recicling a shoes box to make something for my daughter to play! ('still don't understand why we bother spending so much on "complicate" toys, if children are always ending up playing with the most inespensive stuff they find around!)

This moment..

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Inspired by Soulemama

Recicling old projects

And this is the shirt finished..my daughters likes pirates (this summer we bought her a inflatable pirate's boat)..recicling a skull I made few years ago and two strings I cut from the bib, to replace it for a elastic one, so she can wear it by herself without having to tie it up. (the string are the same color than the skull)

My creative space

Some times I buy plain shirts to personalize.... it's nice to have something unique..

Emotions

Since my daughter was born I realize that she was a sort of "time machine" for my emotions.. I was afraid I wouldn' t be a good mother, of not being able to love her enough..and so on..mind you, before getting pregnant I didn't feel anything looking at a baby, while I would melt in presence of a puppy...

Then, after she was born, I discover I can love her(so much!I can't believe now how could I doubt it!), and be (I hope so, certainly I try very hard!) a good mother, and even, now when I see a baby, I feel tenderness...

So I start to think about this change...and realize my fears were a "blockage" I built as a projection of my mum's fears and of something that happened while I was a baby. And i'm sure of this, because of things that happened back then...

Then few days ago, while I was at the library with my daughter I found this book. It's written by Isabelle Filliozat and (I couldn't find the title in english)talk about children (and parents) emotions!

Exactly what I had been "discovered" about myself..and I think that is a book that everybody should read. It's one of those books that can help you to discover certain reaction that sometimes we cannot understand about ourself and just let pass by....a book that can help heal our soul!

Hello there!

Hi everybody! After almost one year from the last entry (really? I can't believe how fast has passed!) I found a picture with the frame I made with my daughter with the shells we collect last year on the beach...and just reconnect with the last post...here are the picture!! Better late then never ;D

During the last year I have swapped the sewing needle for the acupunture needle! And now I'm starting the second year! I really love it and I can't believe why the so-called "Occidental Medicine" doesn't want to merge his knowledge with the MTC....all in favour of the farmaceutical benefits...as usual, money rules..

My creative space

A bit late, but I have managed to find a spot for creativity this week...

I have a pot full of shells and whenever I go to the beach I collect loads of them, and because my "nature pot" it's already full( of shells, sea glass, wood and feathers).. it's time to use them for something!

And then I have to finish this acrylic on canvas painting (I painted the same with watercolors on paper)..

Swimming pool bag

My daughter started to go to swimming pool classes and I needed a bag she could carry . I couldn't find a proper size in the shop: too big, too small, too edgy, too difficult to open, etc

So at home I found a cotton bag, (one of those that now replace the plastic bags in supermarket), cut the bottom and made two strips , so she could hung it on her shoulders..

I cutted an old plastic apron and I sewed it in the inside, so if she put something wet inside it won't drip.

At last I attached a owl and flower I made long time ago, so I could cover the printed name on the front.
And voilá!The bag is ready! It's very light and she could carry it around easily!

(Although it still look huge! I think I will make it smaller! You see... I couldn't do that with a bought one!.. )

Watercolor: The rain collector

My creative space

In this week creative space, I enroled myself to an acupunture course (3 or 4 years!). I found it terribly interesting, and knowledge is always welcome!

I know some people who went to the very best hospitals for years, and after spending tons of money, got operations and take strong pills ... were always at the same point, because the doctors were just "excluding things".... then after 2 weeks of acupunture, no more pills and no more pain...!
And during small relaxing breaks, I'm going to paint. In order to keep the same border (and to keep it clean), instead of drawing a border along the design, I fold a "window" , with an A4 .

Here I draw the border I want and then I take it off, cut along the line and "dress it back".

And I'll keep using it until I change the size of the drawing or it get broken!

As usual,don't forgrt to check out more spaces at Kirsty's!

Watercolor: "Strawberry queen"

My creative space

This week, my creative space is filled with another necklace and the search for some inspirations for watercolor painting!

Check out more creativity at Kootoyoo's blg!

...necklace!

I'm thinking of a name for this necklace...the central circle remind me of a glass church window...but I don't feel like to call it "church window necklace"...

Watercolor: Take your time to find real love

My creative space

Today's creative space is dedicated to a bunch of necklaces! Lately I've been making less of them, but now that I have a little more time, I will try to keep up!
