Happy New Year!
The new year is here, which means it’s a perfect time to start fresh.
I have just set goals for this year, I feel like I can achieve anything if I’m always in this positive and happy mode:) I was able to relax completely during the break, I did yoga and meditation constantly practicing how to control my mind, trying to relieve the stress as much as I could.
I really want this year to be filled with happiness and success. No more doubting about my abilities and just pushing boundaries until I reach where I want to be. I hope all your wishes come true this year!
This A4 calendar was my personal holiday project, I repurposed some of my old watercolour paintings and painted new ones. Hope this will make you happy every time you look at it:)

This year has gone so quick and I can’t believe Christmas is only 5 nights away!

I’m back! Hope you’ve been well while I was away, I missed blogging and had been writing down lists of things to create:) I’m feeling rejuvenated, refreshed and motivated.

A few weeks ago, a lovely fellow designer at work shared some cool paper cut artists during a creative meeting. My favourite artist was Chloe Fluery and I remembered her beautiful work featured on Oh Joy!. While looking through her other amazing work, I was inspired to create something I can cut! I had so much fun making this garland and hope you enjoy it too for your party.

There’s nothing as refreshing and relaxing as a cup of tea. I am a big tea drinker and I always look for new teas to add to my tea collection.
I found most of the tea bag tags look pretty plain and very uninspiring to look at, so decided to create this printable that will be perfect to be served to your guests for any occasion. Simply replace the original paper tags with these and enjoy! Download the template here:)
I was meant to post this project 2 days ago, but wasn’t able to because I was sick. I really dislike being sick, not being able to do anything and feeling completely helpless. It was very frustrating, especially when I had planned many things to do. I knew I wasn’t going to be productive no matter what I tried, so I decided to focus on my recovering by attempting nothing but sleep and meditation, leaving my phone and computer behind. I’m still in recovery mode but feel much better and in a brighter mood to resume blogging:)
Hope you are feeling healthy and well, motivated and ready to enjoy tackling this project!:) If you are looking for another similar DIY project, you can check out my first coaster project I posted a while ago.
What you need
– FIMO soft polymer modelling clay – White 350g & and Raspberry 56g (Enough for 5 coasters)
– Rolling pin
– Craft knife
– Oven
How to make it
1. Roll the clay into a ball. Combine colours to your preference. (I used 1/5 of the white clay and just a small piece of raspberry clay.)
2. Flatten the raspberry ball into a flat circle. It’s quite small so you can easily do this using your hands.
3. Stick the raspberry circle on the side of the white ball.
4. Gently rub raspberry piece over the white ball in one direction to remove the harsh edge between the two. (I really wanted a water colour effect rather than a typical marble effect, so I experimented many times to find the best way to achieve this effect!)
5. Keep rubbing until you get the desired pattern.
6. Use a rolling pin or a similar tool to roll the ball into a flat circle.
7. Cut the circle into hexagon shape using a craft knife.
8. Bake it for a maximum of 30 minutes at a temperature of 110°C/230°F.
9. Let it cool and enjoy!
Hopefully you are not sick of geometric DIY yet! I’ve been meaning to make gift tags for a long time and finally made them, yay! Simply download template, cut them out and adorn your present with them! Enjoy!:)
I found cool key charms the other day at a jewellery supply shop near my work and just needed to make something with them. They combined great with bright post-it notes, complementing each other perfectly to make place cards that are suitable for any occasion!
What you need
– Key charms
– Post-it notes
– Pen
– Scissors
– Glue stick
How to make it
1. Fold a post-it note in half.
2. Cut the folded post-it note into thin strips then cut a triangle out of one side to create a flag’s edge.
3. Write your guest’s name
4. Wrap the post-it around the key charm, glue both sides
5. Enjoy!
