A very quick and easy project

 ελληνικό κείμενο



This is a spot in my living room. I love the combination of brown and acqua but I had the feeling it needed a drop of  a warm, cheerful color to add some life to it.

So I took a branch from the garden and colorwashed it with white acrylic without covering completely its surface with color.



I bought some orange pom poms from a sewing supplies store. You can make your own if you have some wool, read how here. 




With a few drops of fabric glue I glued the pom poms on the branch. I have a blooming  branch in my vintage coffee pot now and I like this shelf  more.
 

To blog or not to blog

This blog has been sleeping since July. That's too long! And I know a blog is not a blog unless it is frequently updated but unfortunately blogging  is the first in my to do list to go when everyday life starts pressing hard. I was tempted to say "it's over" but to be honest I miss a lot the way this blog keeps me connected to the things I love so much, the wonderful world of handmade things and the amazing  people who create them. So I say "to blog" for now and see how it goes.
