New on Etsy! In blue.

Finally, there was some sunshine today, so I could go to the garden and take some photos.

So I can show you some earrings that I've just added to my Etsy shop. As always, quite big but very very light. OOAK pattern, no copy to be found ;-)

Hope you'll like them!

 

Changes, changes..

Hello there :-)

Lots of changes going on.

Firstly, I've decided to open a shop on German Dawanda, as the Polish website doesn't treat the shops fair.
I'm currently publishing my products there. My German DaWanda

Next, I've opened an account on Polyvore, but I don't feel at home there yet. I probably need some time to get the feeling. You can find me here

Yesterday I decided there's not much sense in writing in two languages at the same time, and I opened a fanpage in English. Hope you'll like it! 


I'm also trying to take better photos, but it's so hard these days. There's not much sunshine, too much wind and it often rains. Typical autumn in Poland..

Hope you have a lovely autumn/fall!

Gifts for children

In two days there's a Child's Day in Poland. I lso have lots of friends who have children. And I sometimes think about buying a gift.

In my opinion, If you want to give a toy to a child buy a handmade one! There are so many fantastic things, that are safe, cute, adorable, not expensive. Kids have lots of toys "made in China"... They don't need more..

If it's a baby I usually get a sensory block or blanket - babies love them! Especially if they have many ribbons.

If the kid is older, I buy a had-sewn toy or a game.

It's almost June...

It's almost June and I've only made one pair of earrings.. It's all because finally spring has come! Almost summer :-) so we've started travelling. Generally, I'm rarely at home.

In the meantime I want to show you some of my finds, you can also see lots of things I fell in love with on my Google+. I'm definitely spending too much time on Etsy and Pinterest ;-)

As I read a lot, I'd love to have such a bookmark. So unusual!

  

 

Spring collection

As I don't have time to produce anything these days, still focusing on translation work, I'd like to share the spring collection of Poletsy here. One of my products has been included. The colours are fab!

People around me are preparing for Easter, but I simply don't have time. My mind is full of  terminal block, connectors and clamps, because that's what I'm translating.

How are your preparations? Any ideas for decorationg eggs? I'd love to make something different than every year.

Purple ideas

This time I was included in a purple/violet treasury on Etsy :-) The set looks great!

A spring discount on DaWanda!

Zbliża się wiosna i z tej okazji DaWanda organizuje akcję wiosenną. W ramach akcji od jutra od 10:00 do 21.03. nieprzecenione produkty będą tańsze o 12%! Zapraszam :-)


I'm taking part in the spring action on DaWanda.

Apart from the products that are on sale, the things will be 12% cheaper! Starting from tomorrow 10:00, it will last until 21.03.2016.

A violet necklace is back

Due to the closing of Krzynka, a shop which was selling handmade product, some of my things came back. I'll try to put them on Etsy and DaWanda soon, some of them are already there.

You can get this very light necklace on Etsy, its colour is like amethyst or lavender maybe. A very nice bright violet. You can wear it just on your skin, merino wool is very soft.

It's also possible to order a similar necklace in many other colours! Just let me know.

Need a gift? Buy something red!

I'd like to share Etsy treasuries with you from time to time.

There's a place in the net where Polish artists and designers meet. And we prepare sets of our products to show you.

Here are the two red treasuries.

 

International Women's Day - a special discount

Doesn't matter if your country celebrates the International Women's Day or not, I have a special coupon for you!

You can use it once, it's valid through 8 March. But if you want to give a present you need to order the product now. It's difficult to say how much time the post will need to deliver it to your country. 

Sewing classes part 2

Today I've been learning how to sew a bag. Gosh, it's so difficult to use my imagination and be able to catch the idea how to put all the parts together!!! I'm definitely not able to visualise the final effect of my actions.. therefore, not able to remember the steps..

I'm not going to be master of sewing ;-)

Still think that modern sewing machines are amazing. So easy to use them! So fast and not so loud!

I can show you the results of the first class, but the bag is not ready yet.... I have to finish it at my parents' as they have a sewing machine.

My first work:

 And today's class:

No time...

Not enough time for so many things... I finally bought a table lamp I need to create a light box, that is necessary to take good photos of the products. But I don't have time to get a light bulb....

I started some new button squares but I can't finish them...

I have a terrible runny nose, but don't have time to stay in bed..

I just don't know how it works, because I don't do many things ;-) But I'm constantly rushing somewhere..

Or cleaning after our cat... For example, she got some extra treats because of the Cat's Day today... and then she peed on the wall in the bathroom.....!!! But she usually looks so innocent and sweet....

Yellow, orange and green

Some of you might be celebrating Valentine's Day, some aren't. I belong to the second group. I'm staying home, sipping Czech medovina and sewing. My partner left home for work, so I have time to make something new and to browse Pinterest.

The light is ok for sewing, but not for taking photos...

New products to buy / Nowe produkty do wzięcia

Finally managed to put all new things on DaWanda and Etsy. Now I'm trying to catch how promoting things on Etsy works..

So, you're more than welcome to add my things to your favourites, share them or just comment :-)

Now it's time to make something new!

W końcu udało mi się pododawać produkty i na Etsy i DaWandę.. Próbuję jeszcze ogarnąć jak działa promowanie rzeczy na Etsy..

Jeśli macie ochotę dodajcie moje rzeczy do "ulubionych", udostępniajcie, komentujcie. Będzie mi bardzo miło :-)

A teraz pora wziąć się do roboty i uszyć coś nowego! 

Button squares on DaWanda?

When I finally got some time to put new products on DaWanda it just says NO...

For the last few hours it's been making me furious, as it has some errors, problems etc... I've managed to add just one thing.... Maybe tomorrow will be a better day...

Now I'll try to add Button squares on Etsy. I forgot I have a shop there...

Do you know any other platforms worth considering?

Why UFOs are UFOs.... and still will be...

This is so irritating! Every time I really want to finish a UFO I either have lots of other work or lots of new ideas.

Now it's the latter. I have a bag of buttons and some felt. And I got an idea what to do with it. I need some time to practice sewing, but as soon as I manage to do it correctly I'll put the earrings here to show you :-)

UFOs

UFOs are simply UnFinished Objects. I guess everyone has such things. You start something, then you forget about it, or something goes wrong, or you change your mind about it... Like I have a necklace in which I had problems with blocking the beads at the end and I lost my patience...

After some time you have at least a few UFOs somewhere deep in a box or a drawer...

So, before I start new projects I decided to finish some unfinished works. What about you? Do you have some UFOs?  

Merry Christmas! Wesołych świąt!

Whatever you believe in, whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I wish you a wonderful time! Spend it the way you want to, relax and enjoy!

Czy obchodzicie Boże Narodzenie czy też nie, życzę Wam by te kilka dni wolnego były czasem odpoczynku, czasem dla Was.

My Etsy shop and the last necklace

A few weeks ago I decided to open a shop on Etsy. It wasn't easy, don't know why but I hardly understand anything of this site... It's so huge! With so many possibilities.. And so many teams, groups, ways to promote the shop. It will definitely take some time until I catch how it all works.

The shop is online again, after some errors of Etsy. Now there's time to add some more things.

And I need to make something new, I've sold almost all of the necklaces!

Here you can find my Etsy shop :-) 

This is the last necklace, for those who can wear traditional European wool, as some of the balls are not merino.

You can get it here or 
Or simply write to me.

Where I buy cards

I'm a great fan of traditional postcards! And it's time to send Christmas cards to your family and friends! I already did that a few days ago.

Some time ago I met a girl who used to write about her complicated life on a blog. She always had artistic skills, so she started to make cards. And she still makes them. Now you can see how beautiful they are! And they are very good quality!

These are ones I bought this year:

 

You can find them at Card-Art 

And what about you? Do you send cards? Do you buy postcards when you travel?
