Days gone by

A small recap of the days that passed, I was ill for most of April, it feels like I got nothing done for that month... Well May is here, so let's hope this is a good month, I'm already working on a custom banner and have a few matchbox ideas in progress :-)

Hope you have a lovely weekend,
Aleka
p.s the happy mugs (a surprise gift from Nafsika!) are from Bread&Jam

Early Christmas

These past few days a pattern in repeat: embroidering names on Christmas trees, packaging, going to the post office! A busy, busy week ahead too :-)

Hope your week is productive as well,
Aleka

Recycled packaging

While waiting for some clay pieces to dry, we made a few boxes. For our packaging we use the standard craft boxes that we buy but we also make them ourselves from recycling other packaging boxes. That way we recycle something that we would normally throw away and at the same time have boxes in different shape and sizes from the ones we buy.
It's pretty simple packaging, we glue craft paper on the surface and a doily with a hand drawn colorful pattern on the inside but I think it looks pretty cute :-)
I love botanical illustrations, these you can download and frame!
Wishing you a great weekend,
Aleka
ps. See more creative people right here!

Suprise mail!

When my sister bought the tickets in the raffle organized by Estella we did it mostly to support Sandra and didn't really think about winning. But when the list of winners was published and Georgia saw her name in it she was so excited, it's her first time winning something online :-)

And today she was so surprised to receive her prize: an envelope filled with amazing art from Louise! She won the print titled Best Friends but there was also a little red envelope packed with extra awesome goodies as you can see. The packaging was simply fantastic and the handwritten note is such a lovely personal addition!

Do check out her shop LouiseArtStudio, she is an Etsy seller I would definitely recommend buying from it's very obvious she puts a lot of work and thought into everything!
Wishing you a lovely day,

Packages

Okay I've been kind of lost this week, not posting as I had planned but then it seems like every time I make plans I end up not following them through. But I was actually so very busy: we're planning a craft party, I'm making and listing new things in the shops and I had two surprise sales this Friday and Saturday.
Packaging the orders came first so I could send them on Monday and now I can resume my other works: I have to make some Christmas ornaments (I know it seems early but I think I'm actually a bit behind on this) and work on stuff for the craft party!
Leaving you with a fantastic giveaway on Facebook from SilverLinesJewelry, don't miss it!
