Summer Craft Marathon 2018 - Week #5

Yeap, I did it again: I've skipped a week; while on holiday priorities do change - pardon me Anna from In My Closet. But I am here for week #5, disciplined and agile!

Two years ago, during our first #summerinmyc crafts marathon, we had loved the idea of creating our own greeting cards and we had so much fun playing with colors and materials and textures.
This year Anna repeats the task and I could not miss it. Still on holiday though and away from home; this means a lack of materials and textures - but not a lack of colors: my faithful tiny watercolor kit is always in my backpack, and therefore I was able to create a watercolor postacard.
For the card's theme, I got inspired by the haystack fields, the ochre-yellow hues of which are so warm and summery and will always bring the vacation mood on.
I hope this will work for the card recipient as well!

Cheers to summer nights, to summer days, to summer colors, to summer flavors, to summer sounds!

Have a nice & creative weekend!

Summer Craft Marathon 2018 - Week #3

Missed second's week mission, but could not miss this week's for anything in this world.

Anna from In My Closet asked us to make something, anything, inspired by the sea.

Sounds lovely and easy on Monday morning, and you think "great, i have so many days ahead to think of something special and i have sooo many ideas so i can easily accomplish this task" and then out of nowhere Sunday is here and you're in panic.
Long story short, a jar of pebbles, a bunch of driftwoods, some hemp string and my below-basic macrame skills, and here it is, a sea-inspired mobile.

Always let the sea memories be part of your happiness!

Have a nice & creative day/week!

Summer craft marathon 2016 - Week #11

Right after coming home from vacation last week, completely disorganized and in a nostalgic mood, InMyCloset's craft marathon was just what I needed in order to recur smoothly (if possible).

The rules were simple: we had to create a "container" for our summer memories.

I went for the nautical style. I used some rope to simply embellish and old ceramic bowl, which became the nest for my summer memorabilia and souvenirs:

Pebbles, tickets, maps, driftwoods, wedding favors, crafts, fridge magnets etc.

A little something to remind me this summer's best moments and memories during the relentless winter!

Do you collect summer souvenirs? And where would you like to keep them?

Have a nice & creative day!
