One’s travels are one’s best memories

It’s been a while since I last painted a wooden box and personalized it so that it delivered the expected joy to its receiver…

On this occasion, I thought of a friend of mine who wants to save enough money to move to London, but, somehow, she constantly stumbles upon this-and-that and she’s taken one step back, one step behind the ‘schedule’. I felt the need to motivate her and remind her that dreams, once decided upon fulfilling them, must be accomplished.

And so, since blue is her utmost colour, I decided to offer her this money box as a birthday present:

Blue is the colour of my dreams

The secret fund

And since I was on it, I wanted to touch a tender spot and so I made her a matching necklace:

Blue butterfly

The reference made to her blog and the fact that she loves butterflies were the Achilles’ heel I was aiming to hit all along! (evil laughter)

I’m hopeful that in due time she will have no space left for another coin/note and that she will take her wing to London. You only live once, why not make the most out of it?!

Winter getaway

Our first visit to Madeira was in November 2013, in Funchal (the capital) and here we find ourselves once again, exploring the rest of the island.

Not only was it cheap to fly and stay here, but this place is wonderful, starting with its scenery and people, and continuing with its dishes and drinks.

Porto Moniz (view from our hotel room) 🙂

Porto Moniz is the northwestern point of the island and it’s got some amazing lava swimming pools and wild hills full of green.

Sea snails (Caramujos)

Toothpick fun

Limpet mussels (Lapas)

Souvenirs are a must when it comes to preserving memories, so, as a proper tourist, I bought some gifts for my fridge.

Ceramic tile (used for house numbers)

Haven't seen any yet, but its colours were cute

This is the place you’d want to go to if you are craving for a true culinary experience, wine tastings in the morning and warmish weather even in the cold months of the year.

Hello, gorgeous!

My first, real Christmas tree since 2010. The ‘to do’ list for 2014 is now complete. 🙂

Guess-what-pressy-you-got!

As I’m working this Christmas, I thought I might be a good fairy Handmademother to the other girls and…

Guess What?!

… have them pick out their favourite colour! What more could one want for Christmas, if not some handmade jewellery?!

You working today as well?! – Hope you’ll enjoy yourselves, nevertheless 🙂

Merry Christmas, y’all!

Since moving houses and falling in love with this one I live in right now, everything I made out of clay was in the shape of a house. 🙂 Here are some of my fave ones: Couldn’t help myself, I had to, I just had to!

The Romanian House

Is it a muffin, a cookie, is that mint and cream? – you might break your teeth while trying to find out 🙂

The Clockwork House

This is the house…

The Dutch Doll House

… they like to play in.

Eco Doll

A more traditional approach.

The Ginger House

And now it’s raining… But it sounds as if 3 people are opening their pressies at the same time… which reminds me… I’m gonna go and open mine now! 🙂

Have a warm day, y’all!

Secret Santa

Best.Business.Presie.Ever!

New life plan: go viral and get really-really handmade-rich, and tell my Secret Santa he’s got a commission ready for him once this happens. 🙂

Christmas Tree Decoration Teaser

The first ‘fresh’ one will be sent to Romania as part of the Christmas swap.

More decorations in various colours and ribbons are in the process of making 🙂

‘Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la la

More sleep now, please!

Pull&Bear definitely got this one right for me…
