Bonsai forest kit.

I love tiny trees.


Elegantly understated, this bonsai forest pairs clean lines and industrial materials with the ancient art of miniature gardening. The contemporary design maintains a traditional awareness to complement a variety of both indoor and outdoor spaces.

This kit includes everything needed to grow and sculpt trees into works of living art: seedling training pots, tree and moss seed, seed-starting wafers, growing medium, and river stones. Also included are bonsai scissors, rake, and spade — authentic tools which have been made by the same company since 1663! — and complete growing directions.

Mila's Daydreams.

Lovely and funny and gorgeous.

This blog is my maternity leave hobby. While my baby is taking her nap, I create a scene around her and take quick snap photos.




I use only few minutes per picture, including creating idea, implementation and editing, 'cause I don't want to disturb her sleeping and most of my time is for my family. My camera is small and inexpensive Canon IXUS 750.

Embroidered poetry paper.

I'm a sucker for anything that looks like notebook paper.

organic cotton fabric 'notebook paper' is printed with classic blue lines and a red rule, complete with (button) holes at left margin. comes with a skein of pencil-colored embroidery floss. we suggest separating the thread into thinner strands for added authenticity.

Hope Market Tote Pattern.

For you crafty types out there - Denyse Schmidt (who makes the most gorgeous modern quilts in the entire world) is offering a free Hope tote pattern download on her site.



Snowdrops from Denyse's garden, those earliest harbingers of spring, pair perfectly with our Hope Market Tote. The project, which originally appeared in British Sew Hip magazine, features Denyse's Hope Valley fabrics and letters from The Proverbial Quilt pattern. We think it's a meaningful - and beautiful - way to take better care of our planet.

TileTats.

If I had a tiled kitchen, I'd be all over these. An easy, fairly inexpensive way to dress up your tiles. (p.s. I want that radio.)

Pixelated artwork from paint chips.

This. Is. So. Cool.




This is a mosaic I did using those Benjamin Moore paint chips you can get from hardware stores. After a lot of time, patience, photoshop, and numerous trips to ACE hardware, I was finally able to finish.
