דברים שעושים לי את זה: שאבי שיק, תמונות להשראה shabby chic

רויטל, איזה יופי של פוסט. רק לפעם הבאה אני חושבת שיהיה יותר מגניב אם תשתמשי בתמונות שונות לעברית ולאנגלית.

תודה על ההשראה :)

Swap what? SWAP-BOT

I'm a member in swap-bot for quite a while now, and I love it!!! I love happy mail day, when I'm coming home and I have some packages waiting for me! It is so much fun to open and see what other people did for me and how they deiced to spoil me. I will honest, I never been flacked by any one but few times I got some 'lets put some cheep staff together and send it away'... and some time I got beautiful staff that I was left with words of thanks!

And why I tell you all about it? Because there is a great give away on swap bot. The glitter give away, and I love glitter on my Christmas staff, so, here I am spreading the word about swap bot and about this great give away... Take a look, you might fall in love as well :-)

Autumn

It is my favorite time of the year. I love the fall.

Love the crisp air, the leaves that changing from green to bright red, orange, yellow and even purple! Ahh, autumn. if you could stay forever :-)

So, when I heard about the 'Autumn swap' in 'Frida and Numa' you bet I joined right away :-)

I made a pillow case.

The girl whom got it really liked it. I loved it so much I'm going to make one or two for my self as well hahahah

Need some inspiration?

Some time we have lots of inspiration to craft and work, some time the Muse going for a vacation leaving us behind... In 'Frida and Numa' we had an inspiration swap. We were asked to make something that will inspire our partner. I know I always get inspired by a good word... So, I went

'quote hunting'. I found this quote on a card and I fell in love with the wise words:

"Happiness is like a butterfly,

the more you chase it, the more it will elude you,

but if you turn your attention to other things,

it will come and sit softly on your shoulder..." (Thrneau)

I bought the card and cut it to strips, paint the canvas blue and using 'Tim Holtz' mask I added some interest. Using an old book I got from the second hand shop I cut a flower. For the center I used a big circle brad and a flower brad over a black card stock. I stamped some butterflies and used a glitter black embossing powder to give them a shine.

Hope my partner will find it inspirational as I did.

What do you have in your pockets???

Ever since I've seen the magnetic board Keren-Parparim made I knew that some day I'll make something like that!

Well, this day came few weeks ago when I signed in to a 'pockets' swap. I thought first to make a board using a pink-green combination but after visiting the west side of Canada I came up with the cowgirl look... I really enjoy making the board and making the flower was real fun. For the center of the flowers I cut some circles and used white buttons.

I got a message saying that my partner really liked the pocket-board... :-)

Summer..

Summer.. I'm not a real summer person. I can't take the heat too well... Yes, I know. I grew up in Israel which is a very hot place, I should LOVE the heat... but I don't. I love summer food, summer colors and I love the sun... but I don't like the heat at all! I prefer -40 C and not +40C...

We had a summer swap in 'Frida and Numa'. In Israel every one are going to the beach (mostly on the weekend but you can see people during the week as well). I love going to the beach (early in the morning or late in the after noon - just not in the heat of the day!) and just be there, enjoy the warm water, the warm sand and the beautiful sun sets!

I made a beach bag for my partner. I used a heavy duty fabric for the outside, which have a bright color to it and lined it with a cotton fabric. On the out side I've sewn a big pocket to put extra staff in. Miri, who got my bag sent me a message telling me she loved it and really happy with the swap.

Here some pictures for you to enjoy...

Are you a summer person? What do you like or dislike about Summer?
