Package that made my day bright (red)

Today I have something to share with you. I got an unexpected package. Full of awesome and bright (red) things. It made my day.

This girl is awesome!



Love the gold pen with butterfly.




And these kitties are my favorite, because i wanted to buy them. Maybe she can read minds. :) And if you like it too, you can buy it here.




All that bright red and orange colors encouraged me to finally change my inspiration board. it looked the same for months and I needed a change from the blue color. So here it is, my new inspiration/mood board.



Link love:

Little elephant drawing is from Jou-Jou
Weekly planner can be found and printed from here.

And the flower card is made by an artist i really admire, Marjolein Bastin .


Hope I bright up your day with some inspiration.

Zoe

I decided on the name. Zoe. Don't ask me why, just think the name fits her personality. :)


I added some stitching with the black thread on Sunday night, it helped a bit with the shape. Plus added a little tag with a heart and letter r (first letter of my shop name).




I love the green fabric on the back. Thanks for fabric scraps, friend.




And that's Zoe. I like all her imperfections, it makes her unique.

And the doll was born...

First there were drawings. Lots of them. And then I picked one, made it desired size.




I thought she was a cutie. Don't you think?




I painted her on fabric, having fun choosing colors and adding some details.




Cut her our, choosed a fabric to go on the back. Sew. (That included some bad words, cause my sewing machine is old. Or maybe it is not about the sewing machine. Maybe it's more about hands...)




Reversed, stuffed with fibre from an old pillow. Done.




I am happy about some things, not so happy about some others. I think there will be a second and even a third one at some point. That will help me to find the right shape etc. But all in all, she is a cutie.



Now she needs a name. Any suggestions?

Hint of red in mids of white and grey

Winter brings less colors in our life. Grey and white mainly. And what i like the most is finding hints of color. And i like the red best. It brings some happiness into the grey.



And if nature doesn´t bring enough of red into winter, I do. Little pocket soft doll (about 10cm), inspired by Kokeshi, with a bit of lavender inside. Oh how i love the smell. :)



Simple bracelet inspired with the color of winter sky.

Jars full of buttons always make me smile.
Heart shaped cookie cutter is from my grandma, i bought the doll at Christmas market because it is just adorable, flower brooch is made by awesome Makča and cute picture in a frame was done by Oringle.
