Ein kleiner Frühlingsgruß

Hey there!
How’ve you been?
I’m at home, getting the apartment in shape for some guests and baking strawberry cake :)
Just wanted to stop by and show you some stuff I made recently.

First off, this little thing I made when one day I felt the sudden urge for owning a piece of art featuring a fox of some kind. So I made this, using a really cheap plastic frame, black spray paint, old french newspaper, a template for the fox and American Crafts Chap paper.

Didn’t you hear – foxes are the new owls :)

Tomorrow, a good friend of mine is coming back from her trip to Goa. Said strawberry cake and this mini album will greet her upon her arrival:

I was inspired by all the mini albums and cards from Rahel Menig (and the envelope album from Liz Kartchner), so naturally I had to use my new sewing machine, bakers twine, washi tape and colour mist splatters. Aaand Crate paper :)

It did get a little too thick, to be honest, next time I’d probably make a real spine. But she’ll only be adding photos anyway and the pink ribbon helps keeping it all together.

I put together a little collage showing the insides of the album:


And since it took me quite some time to finish this little gem, here are some favourite detail photos:

Here’s a look at what is inside the pockets/envelopes:

That’s it for now, I hope the recipient likes it just as much as I do :)
If you have any questions, let me know!
See ya soon!

The Power of Love

… is what I hope will guide my boyfriend safely through his surgery. Two very experienced chiefs of medicine and their competent team will do just as well. Anyhow, I’m sitting here, waiting for a call. It’s what I’ve been doing for the last um several hours. Let’s hope for the best.

On another note, it’s my best friend’s birthday today and so I’m going to share two of the birthday cards I’ve crafted recently using my brand-spankin’ new sewing machine. Enjoy!

See ya and please keep your fingers crossed for Nico.
Thank you.

ETA: I just got the call I was waiting for – the surgery went well and he is doing okay :) So relieved. Thanks to everyone who sent thoughts and prayers. Xoxo
