Denim Purse

{ don't you just love winning giveways}  

Wow, look what i got in the post yesterday. An absolutely gorgeous little denim purse, with white lace made by the very creative lady behind Mami Made It...and yes I won it in a recent give away. I am absolutely delighted with my gift and have to find an immediate use for it as Lovely Little Big Daughter already asked " Is that for me, mummy", and I had to say " No sweetie, that is for mummy". You can imagine the disappointed face. Please go over to Mami Made It blog for some wonderful ideas, and lots of creative inspirations. It is one of my favourite blogs!

Also I want to say a huge Thank you to some lovely ladies who have all awarded me the Liebester Blog award in the past three months. Check out their blogs for more fabulous ideas, great tutorials and inspiration.

Simone from Handmade by Simone - all the way from Brazil

The lovely lady from  The Domesticated Mama

Amy from A Home, Made - there is a lovely girls Valantines Day t-shirt tutorial

So the Unicorn party is only two days away and funnily enough I am not stressed, in fact I am looking forward to it as I hope my Little Big girl and her friends are going to have so much fun. I will put photos here as soon as possible, so stay put!

Keep warm and have a lovely weekend ( I know it’s only Thursday :-)

Love

Creative blogs

 {I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do}

Hi, today I am a guest blogger at Roca and Co. I am a frequent visitor at Carmen’s blog as she has shared there some fabulous ideas. Please do go and have a look at Roca and Co – you have already seen my Autumn Dress tutorial, but have a little browse and I am sure you’ll find something to inspire you - I am particularly fond of her appliqué ideas.

Carmen also has a weekly linky party each Thursday, which is gaining more entries by the week and it is also a source of many nice ideas.

And just to tickle your curiosity here a few of my favourites from Roca and Co.

Another lovely blog I would like to tell you about is Coconut Collier – it is written in Spanish but you don’t need to speak Spanish to feast your eyes on the lovely little creations that Núria makes ( and you can always use Google Translate :-). 

I totally heart her miniature felt broaches and key rings. Also Núria was very sweet to gave me an award a couple of weeks ago – thank you Núria, you are lovely!!!

Please forgive me for not posting so much lately. I have a little project in the making and I can tell you more about it soon.

Love
Irina xx

So exciting

{ a blog award}

Oh how exciting, the lovely Angela from Bingecrafter has decided to give me an award…thank you so much Angela, you are so sweet!

 

 I am not entirely sure what to do, but I guess I can use the occasion and answer a few questions to help you get to know me a bit better:

1. Favorite color: anywhere between brown and tobacco green (although lately I have gone out of my comfort zone and ventured into reds and yellows)
2. Favorite song: Oh, so many – my husband and I spend endless evenings in front of YouTube, taking turns to select favourite songs and to ask “Remember this one…?”
3. Favorite dessert: Pavlova anytime
4. What upsets you at the moment: rudeness and ignorance
5. Favorite pet: that would be my mum’s cat Richie
6. Black or white: black
7. Biggest fear: that something bad might happen
8. Best feature: I am quite straight forward ( not sure if that is not worst feature actually)
9. Everyday attitude: positive
10. What is perfection? Something that gives me a lot of hassle…I wish I was less of a perfectionist
11. Guilty pleasure?  Champagne
12. When I'm upset... I call my mum or my husband or my best friend – and usually feel much better afterwards

And here are my nominations:

Rachel at Four Wise Monkeys
Astird at Red Red Completely Red
Janine at Heidi in Lederhosen 
Suzitee at Stitch Scrap Sew 
Gabi at Good luck - its me 

Love,
Irina xx
