My blog is carbon neutral

{Ao Nang,Thailand}

Lovely photographer and a dear blogger from Imperfectly Perfect Tali Shiffer, introduced this very interesting and important Carbon Neutral project. 

"My blog is Carbon Neutral" started off in Germany by the "Make it green" program, that has made it their goal to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which means great deal to us all. This organization is trying to  get more promotion for their important cause.  So, For every blog that posts and adds their button on, 'Make it Green' will plant a tree under the blog's name (Now that's awesome!!). The trees will be planted by spring 2010, at the Arbor Day Foundation. This will neutralize your blog’s carbon footprint for the next 50 years =). 

Please join this and take an action =)

Much love

Adults are also on my "TO DO" list =)

{This one was too big to capture so I made this little collage}

New Apron and NOT for a child =D. My friend saw on of my little girl's apron and asked for me to make one super large size to be comfy for her.

And so I did =).

I am proud to say that all the straps are made by my self, out of lefties that I have found in my studio =)


And now, I am getting ready, on my way to our Arts and crafts Forum meeting =) It is always great fun, great food, lovely handmade gifting and group crafting. Today we are going to make owls together, should be lots of fun =) Hope you enjoy your Friday as well.

My Creative Space

My Friend Sari from Gaialai, has some craziness for Lizards =D. Don't ask me why but she does! She has the largest Iguana I have ever seen on earth living walking free around her house (trust me it is like a little dinosaur....).

Anyway, when she asked me to make her new Apron for her glass lampwork, I knew I have to somehow add a lizard to it =D.

I must say, since sewing is new to me - I had hard time adding this applique since it was such a thin fabric and delicate outline, But, I am pleased with it now =D. (Just not too sure of doing it again=D).

If you want to play this week go to Kootoyoo see all the lovely spaces and join!

New Baby Boy Set =D

Not too long ago Mitsy from Artmind told me on one of her comments: that people bringing babies can really keep you busy =D. Sure thing, she was very right =)) Here is a news set I made for a new baby boy =).

{Ruttle soft Bunny also from here}

{Fabric "box" to wrap it all}

My baby girl due date is around the End of July - beginning of August and I keep telling myself that it is about time to start and making some little sweeties for her, but somehow I don't know from where to start... so I keep on making my soon to be first grader girl all that she wants around the house =D

I can't believe it - school year is almost over (Actually we have around 10 days to go....) My Flickr search this week was to get some inspiration for kinder garden teachers personal gifts.
