Monday

There's an italian song called "Monday"by Vasco Rossi: Lunedi. It speaks about how he hates Mondays, and then a bunch of other things about his girlfriend who left him. It happens to me as well, to not like Mondays. They are not always the best days. I try do the most things on Mondays, so I can organize the rest of the week better, but usually I dont have the energy and mess up or snap. It's like the day that reminds you someone/thing is controlling our lifes. Everyone has his/her own Mondays. Even if the days is not on an actual monday. The day after your time off, the day you need to go "back on track".
I am wondering what's my track right now. Is it what other people/society or the governement is planning for me or expecting me to do?! Nope, I must take ownership of everything. Then I can say I am bored. I am mistaking something, mostly I need to begin spending lots of money to do what I want. And at this point I think I will. I'll spend them all - fakkit. They're needed to do what you like when you're alive, I was saving them for a house, a baby, and I am almost 33 and don't even have a boyfriend. Which is kewl but then I should re-set my priorities.
Why do you write it over here?! You may ask.
Well... cus then I know it's for real. It's like there's a little revolution beginning inside me and if I'll stir it up it's going to explode = changes will happen. They say in life you need to "invest", money, time, whatever you have and can, to get a profit. Maybe this is true. I always played it quite safe (that is do what is expected me to do, or what should be best to do). But now I am really quite bored.

N.B. this post may not apply to people who have the perfect job and love to go doing it, or people who really don't care about what they do with their time. Unfortunately for me, I do.

Lullaby

I am tired. I suffer from insomnia sometimes. Too many thoughts for the highly sensitive person that I am.
I need a lullaby. I am in the process of singing one to myself.

Lullaby of my dreams
Singed to me by myself
Bring me into the stream
Of life where I can swim

Fly me up in the air
I will unfold my wings
And go where I don't dare

No matter what I'll sing
Lullaby of my dreams

☆ FakKit ☆ Part#3

Since I wrote the first post about the easiest and cheapest way to be happier in life {{Fakkit}}, I have been keeping my ears open and discovered lots of funny things I am now going to share with you. I didn't fully watch the video when I uploaded it in the previous post, so I didn't notice the website it was referring to: www.thefuckitway.com >> Awesome!! I had no idea this whole thing existed.
Browsing the website, another amazing thing popped out: the F**k It Retreat in Italy!!
So, as you can see I am not the only one advising this as spiritual therapy :)
In my Economizer opinion, I think I'll apply the Fakkit theory in the comfort of my home or at the nearest beach or wood. For me walking in the nature or engaging in any crafty/creative activity are good ways to get detached from the daily routine. Cheap.

☆ FakKit ☆ the Economizer way to be happy in life - Part#2

I told you I was going to look for info to back up my Fakkit theory.... well this morning a supercool friend of mine {{check his website for lots of funky stuff}} has posted this video on Facebook. When I saw it I thought "It can't be! It says the same sh*t I vomited in my Fakkit post!!". Thus I am not the only one embracing the ☆ FakKit ☆ philosophy, which I am really glad about. Of course now that I am aware of the existence of this discipline I will look for more info and support it as much as I can!!



Happy to support my thoughts, I wish all of you a very happy Sunday ☆

Blue Strings

The sea had big waves
Kitesurfers were riding along the shore flying like birds without home.
Silent steps besides her, walking with a stick in the hand,
plowing the sand leaving behind a wake of strings and curls and shapes.
The noise of a camera shutter, a pose and a smile, laughters.
A forgotten umbrella buried in the sand, pieces of a torned apart flag,
the beginning of a moment that would never end.
Hidden in the dunes, forgotten by the time, rocked by the wind.
Lovers, accompained by the sound of the sea,
tight, intertwined, creating blue strings.

New banner ♥ kawaii !!!

Step by step I will completely change my blog look.. as promised. I have been looking around for templates, but I really don't like any. I noticed the nicest one are on sale which is ok for people that can't design a blog, but I can, I am just too lazy to get around it. So I thought... ok, what is the first thing I can change without too much complication?! The banner. Yes because I have lots of ideas for the background, but I need to work on those, while the banner was easy. I used photoshop brushes from people I will now give credit to, one by one. I know PS quite well, as you can see from the very first posts in this blog (2005 or so) were mostly links to PS tutorials, and web sources. Fact is, because of my RSI I usually don't get to spend much time on graphic as I used to. But here it is, my first kawaii banner. I decided I wanted a kawaii - anime banner because I have been looking at manga cartoons since I am a little child. They shaped the way I think and therefore play a huge role in my non-sense. They are probably even the cause of it... I remember a specific cartoon, named Arale Norimaki where everything talks, even a poo! Yep.. a talking poo. A quite cute one too. Just to make you understand where some non-sense can come from. This said, I love anime, manga, kawaii and whatever cute thing that is produced in Japan.
Back to the banner credits.. {{always credit back the nice people that share their creations and ideas with you}}
♥ super cute piggy from Gray Megumi
♥ kawaii cloud from Mistress Mariko
♥ nice windy dandelions by e.derby
The rest was pretty much made by me.. I should download some cool font, used to have many but then formatted my PC and lost a lot. But so far I like it, and it can be a nice temp-banner, till I figure out the final blog look.
Hope you like it! ☆ Shine On ☆

Bathtubbing

As you may have learned from the previous post, my water boiler broke down, and it took one week to be repaired. As I was getting angry about it, my landlord agreed on letting me use the bathroom of the "penthouse", that of course has a bathtub. Ohhh the bathtub, I was so happy because I could finally took the bath I always wished to take. I don't know about you, but I have a sort of a wishlist of things I'd like to do in my life. There are many things in the wishlist that relate to water and taking baths. Either in a tub or at the sea, lake, river.. let's be honest any natural spring clean water, I'd bath in it. "I wish to bath a lot in my life" I thought when yesterday I finally took the ultimate bathtub experience. Candlelight, to start, soft music and aromatic oil (lavander to be precise). I had never taken a candlelight bath before. It's awesome. As I only had two small candles and it was already night, the water seemed really dark and the pale light reminded me of the moon light. As no artificial light hit the water, I could see the vapours coming up.. I felt like being in a hot spring out in nature. It felt great. What a nice way to handle the missing hot water in my house, I say....
Of course I took another one tonight ;-)

☆ FakKit ☆ the Economizer way to be happy in life

Ok - sorry - but some days I just want to scream it to the world: FAKKIT!!!!

We're too kind with the people that hurt us when we don't ever say it or think it.
We believe, or we've been taught, it's bad and that you should always give your offender the other cheek o_0 ... and that's when I say: Fakkit! Not always!!

To say Fakkit doesn't mean you're swearing at the person, it means you give power to yourself to move on in life without ever thinking about those hurting feelings or the person who causes you those feelings. It means that when you're angry hoping to get something from the anger, instead you realise it's a waste of energies. To do so, just remind yourself the word: Fakkit!

You may think: why is she writing this?! I don't feel like saying it... Ok, I give you the reason why today for me this word is useful.
I wake up to know my water boiler is broken, I can't shower nor clean the house, my landlord is going on holidays this week so we better fix it soon. Then I see my on FB that my ex bf is happy and never ever thought back about what he had said to me before leaving (lies) and lives his life like nothing happened, it's OK but it hurts. The government asked me back some taxes money because they realized they made a mistake when giving back to me a year ago, so they'll take them back with interests.
Well - you know what I say to all this?! Fakkit! I am still alive, I am healthy and smiley, life still goes on, people who don't deserve me are not near to me, those problems are only very small bureaucratic issues....

Don't Worry Be Happy, Bob Marley used to sing, which I translate into the Fakkit motto. It's hard to remind, so I say it loud. Make some fun over it and understand that we give priorities to things or facts, we give them importance. We can also move that importance to other things and not overlook always what seems to us more important. Try to switch point of view - sometimes it helps. Watching the same things from different angles will show you different perspectives, so try take the Fakkit way as an alternative point of view- it shouldn't be applied to all things you do - but can be used to your benefit when you need to switch perspective.

I have written this out of my mind and thoughts - but I am sure if I search the net I can find something to back this up - I'll be updating this post. Non sense is about the non sense in life, today I believe that worrying can be a non sense. We could worry so much less... we could try at least. So I'll back this up with proper references and facts, but if I don't then you know now what you should say ...... ;-)

Have a peacefull day ☆

Goodmorning World!

Hi all ~ so the blog is still under the same background, without banner, looking half ready, but I keep on updating because I am realy not sure when I'll be able to fix it graphically. I am even thinking to ask a friend for a customized backgroud... the blog speaks non-sense and it should appear as such. In this blog we talk about nature, psychology, the mind, beauty and femininity. We talk about crafts, cute creations, cooking and poetry. When you think about it, I have no clue what this blog is about. The more I surf the web, the more I notice one topic blogs / website. It is the only way to commercialize your ideas: channel them. True. I can't channel anything... I am the floating! So, one of the "must-do" of the new look is to give it a topic sense... mmmmm I'll see if I can manage that. For now, I share with you my latest creations, something I know how to do.
Following the Youtube channel of Carlita Dolce - also listed in my fav links on the left - I made some homemade body butters:

Body Scrub
60gr Shea butter
10gr Bur de Sal
Grinded amandels and rice
E.O. Lavander (5 gtts) and Orange blossoms (8 gtts)


Body Muffins x5
16gr Shea butter
10gr Beewax
30gr Coconut paste
Vanilla aroma
4 gtts Lavander

I also made some flaxseed hair gel, for the very first time in my life, it is great on my hair! They really needed it, and it is sooo much cheaper to make it at home than buying it! I advise it to anyone who has frizzy and curlyish hairs.

I am also keeping on felting soaps, my aim is to make really cute ones, the one I am felting now still look like wool-stones, but still. I found some mini-soaps so I can practice without too much waste. I'll give them together with my little creations... they should look nice together ^^

I wish the world a good morning and day and week.... ♥

Blog Under Construction

Today I found that my old blog template was gone, so I had to replace it.
I changed the design and for now I chose this one, I am not too happy about it but it's ok for a temp-template =)
I also lost the translation tool. So let's consider the blog "under construction" until I can fix it.
Thanks for understanding ♥

Lady in White

She was sitting together with me in the waiting room, that lovely woman dressed in white. She had a cute skirt made of white st. Gallen embroidery with black flowery inserts, very nice, with a white st. Gallen top. The whole was accompained by exquisite details, dark red painted nails and a red little pendant, black purse and black shoes matching the skirt. She immediately caught my attention because I live in a country where, she later also admitted, feminine dresses aren't so popular. Femininity is not considered cool, instead is considered weak. This is a mistake, it is not necessarly true that if a woman likes to appear like a woman and likes to act like one it means she is weak. The lady in white started talking to me about something when I had to ask her where she was from and where she got her clothes from. She was dutch, but had bought those clothes in Spain. She told me how important it should be for all women to get in touch with their feminine side, without being scared of looking weak. In a way I am a kind of conservative-like woman, even if I believe of myself to be modern, open-minded and absolutely never thought of being politically or religiously conservative. It is a kind of preservation of the femal species, away from what modern society tells women what and how they should look like: always strong, never tired or emotional, always sexy and ready to enjoy every moment of their lives. I heard lately many guys being down with the "philosophy" of the so called dudeism. Well, my question to the dudes is: how does a feminine woman fit in a world of dudes? We are not genetically predisposed to think in certain ways men do, and this does not mean that women are racists against men-kind and want to feel and therefore be different. We are different. But different is good. Once we can appreciate each other differences, then there would be a better understanding. I say this to men, but could tell the same to women. Men are different from us, we should appreciate the differences, not blame them or expect them to become women. I feel, and the woman in white agreed, that in modern society the globalization effect is spreading also in direction it shouldn't. So that, we should not think of being all equal and the same, there are differences amongst individuals, genders, races, cultures, and so on. And we're trying to destroy them. Well women should be proud to be women. Women that have a passion for any type of science or profession should pursue it. Women who feel their best achievement would be having a family and live their life for it, should pursue their dreams too. No one should feel better than the other. Both entities are part of the same thing: being a woman-being. We're humans, so we have dreams we should try to pursue. For centuries women have been considered inferior and have been denied human rights. Now that we have those rights, we're forgetting about being women. Why? I am a woman. I do not feel ashame to be feminine and I actually like it very much. I like to treat my person and I learn how to do it in the most convenient way. I am learning how to cook, how to sew and how to make homemade things, because I think it is one interest of we women to make the world a better place, more welcoming and cute for everyone to live in. Besides that, I also study psychology and I have worked for many years as coordinator, so I have not been sitting at home sewing and scrapping, eating all day. I enjoy doing that though... I found it relaxing! I just say this to give an idea of who's writing what. Anyways, this "little post" was kind of a femininity call. I have wanted to do this since ages, wanted to put up a website for it, but I never get around doing it. The white lady today was a real inspiration, a reminder of who I am too inside.
In the name of it, I attach a picture of my latest homemade creations: felted soaps, body oils and a lip-butter.

Thanks to who ever gets to read this ~ it's the outpourings I needed to have ^__^

Economizer Kitty Lake

I have a very fussy and ingenious cat, Ozio. He gets bored with normal toys and usually needs me to play actively with him once a day, which is fine when possible, but sometimes it is not possible. I already bought him "intelligent" toys, that he gets still bored with, he has feathers, homemade catnip toys, pluches, a racing track with a hidden ball he needs to take out, balls, and so on... I am not very keen in buying him anymore toys because I know that if I don't actively play with him like if I am a cat he doesn't like them. His fav game is me running behind him so he can "escape" and jump everywhere.

However yesterday someone sent me the link for a smart toy, something that indeed cat should appreciate: the kitty lake. Look at those cats and how they seem happy fishing the toys... true, cats love fishing!
So I was asking myself if I should buy one for Ozio, when someone said: put some plastic toys into a bucket with water and you have managed the trick for much less money.
This morning I tried, and of course it works like the Kitty Lake...
Ozio was happy and playing with the balls I made him, and was happy that he could play with water without me being mad at him.

Look at his face.... at first he did not understand what was going on... few moments later he was fishing the balls. I then moved the bucket into the bathroom so he could splash water all around.. and so he did, as soon as he was alone I heard splash and saw him running away, he put his paw on the side of the bucket and being not too light he knocked it over and water splashed out and on him! LOL.... It was a very interesting game, and can be done in the warm weather. You may just need to dry your floor once your cat has finished splashing and fishing, but is fun-guaranteed even for the fussier cats!!

Cheap, eco, tasty remedies for quinsy

One evening was warm, the night was colder, I felt sick had high fever and a terrible throat ache, the next day I had quinsy. Bad for me because in Holland the doctors won't prescribe you anything more than ibuprofen. Not very helpful when you have quinsy. I have been a fan of herbal cures since ever, my mum used to cure me with homeopathy when I was little, so I know a few tricks on my own. Immediately start spraying and taking propolis (both in spray and tablets) that helps a lot with throat infections and is considered a natural antibiotic. Then I reccomend you doing throat wash with water and calendula tincture (20 drops in half glass water), also put some drops on a cotton swab and try touch your throat directly with calendula.. if you even manage to remove some pus with it then you're a winner (pardon for this gross description but it's really helpful!). I have now done propolis and calendula since it started and it is already better, 5 / 6 days max the big pain should be gone. Of course, I reccomend you seeing your doctor for any throat infection, but the above are always reccomended and don't hurt.
Now the other problem (for me at least) when having quinsy: how to eat properly without hurting your throat... I have made myself ice cubes in all flavors and ate ice-creams, but I am not a sweet tooth and I prefer savory food when I am hungry. Oh.. by the way, I have the "luck" to be allergic to red/orange fruit, so no fresh fruit possible for me :( that could save you some time reading on. So cold, tasty and liquid... what?!

• Gazpacho! That's a nice one, I made it today.. to my taste, awesome!

• Potato puree with melted cheese - you don't have to eat it super cold, but room temperature is still tasty.

• Pasta fredda - small pasta with meat sauce (or four cheeses sauce) and melted mozzarella, a bit cream. grill it in the oven. when cold it still tastes nice (if you like cold lasagna, you'll love this!)
• Tuna cream - blend tuna, mayo and some olives like to make a bread spread, refrigerate.
  

• Cesar salade or any salade containing meat, fish, or if your vegetarian some beans, lentils and granes. Also cold grilled veggies, like courgettes and peppers add a nice touch.
• Baby food or any veggie / fruit puree's.
• Mini-meatballs - prepare the minced meat with one egg, parmisan, parsley, bread crums, salt and the spices you like, make very small meatball and fry them in hot olive oil (not too much, 1mm), let them cool.. they'll be super tasty and you can use the oil for some rice or so (also nice at room temperature).
  

I should have mentioned that some of those cold recipes may not be to your taste, but the meaning of this post is: try out your fav food cold, it may not be sooo bad as you think. If you have quinsy you need to eat small, liquidish and cold. The main point is not to stress your throat. Eat in small doses and often. Use ice blocks instead of water in between meals. It will really easen up the pain. This of course when a doctor will only prescribe you paracetamol for the fever.....
Peace up ladies, I wish you a lovely night ♥

Mistakes Can Become Good Things

Yes... I will tell you soon all about it, first I'd like to say sorry for the long pauses between posts.

I have continued economizing my life style, it has actually become fun and source of new ideas. I've discovered many things, which I'll tell you in details later, and I am testing new economizing solutions for the beginners like me.

The first thing I'd like to talk about it's actually a cooking recipe. I really like brownies, I love chocolate and there is a bakery in Amsterdam that makes the most delicious ones. They're quite expensive though, and considering that I can eat two per evening when I have the cravings, I decided that they were too expensive and I had to find a solution to fix this.
I can't make normal brownies at home, because I don't have an oven, I only have a microwave combi, which can hardly cook a pizza. So I decided to look for "raw food" recipes and try to create something similar to hard(core) cold brownies.
I am generally not a sweet tooth so I hardly know any sweet/candy recipe. I had to look online to find what I thought could me the most suitable for me.. when I found two.
The first you can find here and the second here. The second was easy enough but I loved the crumb mixture idea of the first. So I decided to combine the two recipes. BIG mistake. Never combine two recipes when you're making something for the first time: I had no idea about what texture I had to achieve and using two different recipes didn't help. Story made short - the brownies did not come out, instead a super nice chocolate mousse did. It's an hyper-caloric sweet and I think each person should be allowed to eat only a small quantity of it. I will now give you my "altered recipe" and you can try make the super nice mousse at home!

Chocolate Dreams

• Cookies, chopped (any cookie is fine)

• Almonds and walnuts chopped
• 3/4 spoons cacao powder
• 4 spoon sugar
• 1/4 cup cashewpasta
• 1 tbs honey
• Pure chocolate nibs
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 .5 cup milk

Mix in a blender cookies, nuts, 1 spoon sugar, the cashewpasta, 1 spoon milk.
In a pan melt nibs, cacao powder, 1.5 cup milk, butter until a cream is made.
Pour some of the chocolate sauce in the mixer, add it to crumb mix, and mix together. If someone is allergic to nuts, use dry fruit instead.
I was trying to make brownies so I layed the crumb mix in a container and poured the chocolate over it, BUT as it became a mousse, I advice you to place a little bit of crumb mix in a little glass (for desserts) and cover it with the chocolate sauce. Put it in the freezer for a couple of hours then allow to unfreeze before serving. When serving you can then add some whipped cream or a strawberry to each individual glass. I guarantee you a super chocolate dream!!! I will try make the raw food brownies again, I need to get the right texture... I will succeed. But in the mean time this was a nice discovery and is cheap to make, I'll probably do it for my next birthday instead of buying the cake. With the indicated doses you serve about 8 people. Easy, quick, bio, effortless and cheap! Best combination ever!!

I am happy about my mistake, it was a delicious one, I will talk about other discoveries in a new post or this becomes too long.
Take care and stay good everyone ♥

Selling ART

I never believed into making art for sale. I always wanted to make it for myself. Because I love the way my emotions become a creation, and the fact that they'll stay there.. sticking to whatever media was used. For me to be watched and forever captured out of myself. I find this amazing.
What I love about true art is that that idea is transformable in everything a viewer wants to see in it. It becomes subjective and it is not more objective, the object, paint, whatever art is, becomes a part of you. This is what I think it's art. It's not just something "beautiful to look at", it must be able to be transformed and become the subject.

I know that I am not able sell my concept because the main concept in art should be not to have just one concept but to feel free to express something and let the viewer discover something else in it too. I love that moment when people tell me what they see in a picture or the emotions they feel looking at it. That is the beauty of art. It should be evoking to anyone looking at it. Mysterious and enchanting.

I don't do art to sell it. But sometimes I think I should try to sell mine.
I don't like to "describe it", I don't like to call myself an artist because I think all humans are artists. Art comes from that latin word "ars" that litterally means "skill, handicraft, trade, occupation", art is everything a human being is able to create or generate from nothing. From that word, generate the words "artisan" and the word "artist".

Internet defition for the two words is the following:

artisans create objects with a sense of utility they are carpenters or potters who make goods for a variety of people. the work can have beauty or artistic merit

artists create from the point of view of imposing their vision on to the materials. They may make things that can be used but the work is one of creativity

Another person in a forum "creativecat" says: <<"To me, the difference between art and craft is has nothing to do with the media or the finished product. Art is the idea and concept. Design is the plan. Craft is the process. You can do just one of these, but most of the time, they all work together.>> Another one "oscine" thinks that <<The difference is the EGO>>. [full text here]

I believe it too. EGO makes a huge difference in how different people think of themselves.
It also depends a lot on if you want to "become somebody" with your art. Be known, gain popularity, knowledge, respect, and so on.... This said, I respect artists that do their own art mainly for themselves, without having in mind the goal to "be somebody" or "just sell".
I see too many of them.
I remind that everything you make, from a new recipe, to a handcraft, new ideas to experiment, it is already art. Appreciating every moment and every little thing around you, makes you an observer. Artists must first be observers, because one has to learn to observe his/her own mind to be able to grab what's inside it.
I have found this journal regarding the "search of identity for adult people" and I think I'll read it further.. because psychologists have studied the need people have of becoming somebody and could be interesting to see the results found till now.
Just to get an idea of why so many people are eager to be somebody and to cross you over to be that somebody.

I wish you a peaceful day ♥ and to continue giving some economizer tips check the youtube channel of Carlita Dolce, an italian girl - she only speaks Italian - but if you can understand it, she has a LOT of homemade beauty recipes! She is just wonderful!!!

Peace and blessings !!

More Funky Layers

I am thinking about some projects to bring and sew outside.. I cannot knit (I have RSI and knitting is bad for my wrist..) but would love to go out and do some projects when taking some sun....
I'll try today and see how sewing-in-the-park feels... Hopefully it's not too windy :)
I will make more of the Funky booklets... Because I love the softy way the come out.... I live in Amsterdam, and soon will be Queensday (National holiday when everyone gets drunk and free markets are allowed).. and I'm thinking to try sell some. Just to see if people like them ^__^


Happy sunshine !!!

Summer Ideas

Ciao all, the lemon mask works perfectly.. I just got told not to use it more than once per week as it can burn your skin :/ I read somewhere else you can use it every day.. My advice is: test it yourself! Lemons are yellow and make us think of the yellow summer ahead... I would like to prepare and have something home made before the spring comes, so I was looking around the net for summer patters and found this.. isn't it wonderful?! Unfortunately I cannot link the picture but it is a salad/fruit bowl made out of an old LP! Fantastic! I have a bag like this and it looks super!
I have also noticed in shops that this year "shirring" dresses are up in fashion.. and those should really be easy dresses to make.... I have found this tutorial on how to shir and I may get some elastic thread today to try do some shirring myself.. Here's another good one.
I am even thinking on shir some old shirts... maybe without starting from scratch, or an old dress I have. Well.. I go get the elastic thread and maybe will post an update later!!!

Happy shirring!! ♥

The Economizer

Well .. they better be! I started using lemon juice as face tonic. After all it's full of Vitamin C and I have heard around that it makes a cheap but good skin supplement. You should wash your face good, remove all the make up, then apply some freshly squeezed lemon juice. I put my cream or oil after, but for extreme cures it's best to live uncovered over night. It does itches a LOT when you put it, so don't get scared. I did, but apparently it's normal that it stings, your skin needs to get used to it.

I still need to find out what I can use in place of Vitamine E oil, it's too expencive to buy, and I am sure I can find that vitamine or anything else to prevent wrinkles somewhere out there in nature.. so if any of you know, please tell me!!!

As you may have understood, I am trying to economize as much as possible so this is the first step: home-made creams and stuff. I am thinking of sewing a summer bag, I'll think of a crazy pattern and we'll see. It's a work in progress (in my mind at the moment). Also, I am not sure if you noticed but this year denim shorts are again in fashion! What a better way to transform your old jeans you were probably going to throw away? I remember doing this when I was more or less 14, fashion is funny, the 90s are back!... but we love it, don't we?! (Yes, in our own way)

Well, lemony face is going to sleep.... finger crossed, I hope not to find any surprise tomorrow! :) Ciao ciao

My Jim

My Jim (aka the perfect guy) left. This was one moth and two weeks ago. Exactly one month and one day ago, I saw him for the last time, when I said that it was just a temporary thing.....
Today I still have his stuff laying around the house... actually now they're packed and waiting to be picked up. But when? I don't know and he doesn't say. The saddest thing, because when a story finishes it's nice to understand why, so you can gain some new perspective for the next one. And anyways, it's just sad to not see someone like this anymore. I asked myself why and how is it possible for people to change their minds overnight, without telling you any reasons. Then I stoppped asking questions I will never have an answer for.
Maybe I mistake and he wasn't my Jim. Jim would not leave like this. But Jim is also very fictional. I love him cus he is the perfect guy for the weirdest situation and he never questions it. He is just happy to be in it.

Thumb up for Jim Clancy.

Following Instructions

Howdy!!

I am happy because I had finally time to follow the project from Elena Fiore's blog - the handmade little pocket book. It is fantastic!!!

I add the pix of the finalized project:



I began studying Psychology therefore I have less time for the sewing and crafts projects... but I'll get back soon with a new blog that me and some friends are working on.
It will be a female ezine where we can share tips, links, etc..

If you're curious have a look here!!

Great day ♥
