Summer Project #4

Summer hasn’t finished yet nor August, so here I am with another of my summer projects. This is a bracelet with huge beads. Ok, I only had to thread the huge beads and put a catch, but nonetheless it required some time… ok, it wasn’t all that time afterall…

Quote of the day

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did.

So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

 

Mark Twain

Summer Project #3

I’ve been entertaining the idea to sew myself a tote for a long time. I’ve been studying samples and tutorials ever since and in the end I came up with my own pattern.

Here is the result… well, perhaps I made it a bit too big, and it would better suit Hagrid than me, but as a first attempt, I cannot be but happy.

Once again the raw material is from Ikea.

Summer Project #2

Another Summer project accomplished. Here is my new IKEA garden table  (TÄRNÖ) which has been updated to breakfast table, with some improvements…

Summer Project #1

Since I’m not going on “proper” holidays this summer, I have decided to use my 2 weeks off for realizing some projects that have been in my drawer for some times now.

Here is my first one: a brand new smartphone holder.

PS… my 2 weeks break officially begins next weekend but I decided for an earlier start last Sunday…
