Yellow

This days i'm addicted to a  bright electric yellow color, not big ammount but a little splash. It combines well with the sand, grey and  green colors .
I dont have even one thing around in this color, but i wish to have.  At this gloomy weather without the  sun this color will bring ray of light . I need it so.....Maybe i will start with earrings?

Here is my little collection of lovely things from etsy and internet, i found lately

1 Knitted  jacket coat  by THE KNIT KID
2 Decorative birdy  plate  by   Nathalie Choux                
3 Resin double drop earrings by FlockCurioAssembly
4 Long earrings with tiny yellow triangle by STICKTAILS
5 Geometric  unisex  eco-heathered   v-neck, hand printed geometric design by EarthCadets
6 Crochet Slippers for Women in Yellow & Grey by WhiteNoiseMaker
7  Stuffed toy softie creature by  MeandTex
8  Stained glass feather suncatcher by LotusLabs
9  Blond Devil Plush Yermit Boyfriend Doll by Yermit
10 Canvas painted purse by MyALaModeBoutique
 

U is for Unicorn

Finally ...here he is!
Unicorn Cornelius. It took ages to finish him
He is soft, he is huge ,he is colorful, he is my absolute dream 
I embroidered his face long time ago but then he waited when i will find the right one fabric for his belly and ears.
Unicorn is a big boy -his height is 80 cm( 31.5 ) from the horn's top to toes and 
57 cm ( 22.4'' ) when he sits. 

Now you can find Cornelius in my shop here

Moss Terrariums

I transplanted my indoor plants all day yesterday and made bunch of moss terrariums.
I wanted to make a moss  terrariums for a long time. After many beautiful inspirational photos on Pinterest i wanted to have  my own moss terrariums badly. 
 I tried to find some big and beautiful jars during  last week, but without great results, so i decided to make my terrariums with what i have. I don't want to wait. I cleaned up all the big jars i had and one bottle from cognac.
So here they are .
It was fun to make them, layer by layer. It is easy and interesting!  

 '' Grrrrraw'' says green dino moss keeper

Walace owl , my  owly gentleman

 

Little Mari owl - my little helper

 Totoro terrarium. This Totoro figurine was a gift from lovely Laura from Blueeyednightowl blog. 
I'm so happy to find right place for him :)
