Soft covers notebooks

This time I tried something new and different. I needed a small notebook that wouldn't be heavy for my case german friend gave me on her visit here. I looked through one of my favorite youtuber for some ideas and found it. Actually made two notebooks then. One bit bigger size with around 50 pages and harder pretty paper for the outside covers. And a small one with same number of pages that also perfectly fits in friend's case and I might write important addresses in it so I always have them with me (I sometimes on a whim send some cards or similar things to my friends).

Spending and creating

Lately I had this sudden urge to create something. God help me when I go to Ebay just to feed my curiousity or when I step through the door of Rayher hobby art supply store. I would call that my dreamland. 

New unique book for friend's birthday

So this friend of mine has birthday... in August lol but I started soon making my present, worrying if I would be able to do everything until then :D Knowing my lazy phases this was best option :D Surprisingly my present is already finished end of February and I might also send it way sooner than in August :D 

Creative idea

Are you wondering what to do when you use up your tape? You are left with the round thingy that usually goes straight to trash right? Here is small idea how to re-use it :D

Needed: 

- tape leftover

 - old or for you too small sock (washed pff) with a pattern

- scissors

- thread

- cardboard in round shape

- glue

Take the socks and cut off the top part a little bit above the part where your heel would be. Where you have cut it, sew the ends together. Place the tape leftover inside the sock and bend in the remaining fabric. You can glue the fabric on the sides outside or inside, that is if you want. If you don't, you can glue only the roundly shaped cardboard you placed on the bottom. That's it :D 

Here is my example I made from a pair of socks. It can be used for storing little things or if you have tiny flower pot you can place it inside as well. There can be also other useful ideas how to use it :D

  

Handmade notebooks

So this is what I talked about in my previous post. The second handmade notebook that I made (left). This time it is brown one with some cute pattern on the fabric that I used. On the right, the flower pattern one is my first one that I made a week or two ago. 

I had a little bit of troubles with the second one because the hard covers were obviously a bit too thin and started bending as soon as I applied the glue... still knowing all the troubles, it turned out better than expected :D 

Soul's medicine

Today I was in paradise practically in the middle of our capital, near the Prešeren statue. I didn't know of this place, a friend told me about it and I said: "I should go check it out." So I went... and there I came into a paradise where you can leave your soul if you don't go out soon enough... well you leave your wallet there as well hahaha

Anyway I went to Rayher, the hobbyart store and the place just rocks!! Below are some pictures I borrowed from Mr. Google.

I went because I needed to buy some color paper for my books that I am making and ended up buying a glue as well and new hot glue gun. But if I had more money damn I would be like that woman that paid around 150€ for the stuff she bought haha Oh well I would also need more than one hour to check everything they have because the two stores store just swallows you if you have a creative heart like myself. I'll definitelly visit again :3

Below is today's catch (I already used the faint orange paper so it was 10 colors before) :D

Present for little David

The little David got a little better and we (mostly mom and I but also dad) prepared a "little" present for him or more like his parents XD Hopefully he gets to go home soon so he can fully enjoy the little spoiling from not only his parents but us as well :D

What the present is? It's a diaper cake ^^ Maaany diapers in two sizes were placed around the shampoo and wet tissues (still packed lol) that were in the middle. Some wrapping paper, two bears and some band to wrap it around and make ribbons :D Totally cute and can't wait to surprise my sis with it :D

Go go creative Anny ^^
