° A new year's wreath °

Hi guys!

Here is me again! I haven't written for ages but yesterday and today I made up myself to create a door wreath. And finally I did it! :) I should say it's not a lot of technics or skills (although I made a few mistakes, but hey, it's my first one!), but I needed much time to make kind of pattern in my mind before finishing, 'cause I didn't know what my wreath would look like till I finished. I had no drawings, just some pictures for inspiration from the internet. All the stuff I used I have from the nearest forest and from flea markets :)

I pined the small pieces of the pine branches with special pins, then added pine cones with a glue pistol and on the next day (but just because I had no time yesterday) I added some deco.

Cross-stitched miniatures

I've finished a couple of minuatures last week. The Snusmumrik one I have already showed here, now it's also ready! ^_____^ The light-house will be used later in an ATC-swap.

Flea market

Guten Abend! :)

At the weekend we were on a flea market here in a neigbour town. We were actually to sell there, but I always (or almost always) can't go away without buying smth for myself ^_____^ This time you can see my catch in the pics: 5 small pearl chains with Hematite, a Fluorite (or Amethyst) bracelet, a lampwork bracelet, an interesting biju-chain with big glass-beads, a damaged chain with ehm.. bone-beads and a tooth >___<, some small cabochons and just stones in a vintage cardboard-box (the box itself is rather shabby but I like it), a sweet ceramic cup and 4 handmade and signed pictures (1 is damaged..)

All the stones and beads I'm going to use in hand-made. We'll see what comes! ;)
