The Christmas Shoppe is still going!

I love soy candles, so I decided I would make some for Christmas as presents for my family and friends.


I looooooooooooooooove the way they turned out. Some are in travel tins, others in vintage looking amber apothicary jars... all topped with mod-podged papers in cool designs.

... and too bad there is no "scratch and sniff" Internet 'cause they smell yummy! My favorite scent is Orange Sherbet but I also love Citrus Basil.

I also made some in French Vanilla and Cappuccino.... hummmmm.... tasty!

Christmas Shoppe, part 2!

For handmade Cristmas gifts for my 8 and 10 year old nieces, I chose to paint t-shirts... Ladybug for the oldest, and kitty for the young one. I mixed a little glitter in the paint so it would be all sparkly and girly!

My own little Christmas Shoppe!

I decided that this Christmas I would make all my family and friends' presents by hand. I make jewelry, so I've got a few people covered... but what about the KIDS... and worse, what about the BOYS?

Well, my first new venture has been to make monster plushies for my friends' kids... and I have to say that they turned out really cool! They are nice monsters, mind you, they just want to cuddle and make you smile!

Food for thought!

This is one of my favorite things to make when I have company over... It is so colourful, and even tastier than it looks!

It is cold avocado soup, with lime and hot peppers.... hummmmmmmmmmm! Perfect as an appetizer before sushi or any seafood.

My colourful touch... at work!

Last July, the corporate offices were I work moved... and I got to put my personnal touch on our new employee lounge/kitchen, and also in the reception area. It a bit toned down from what MY taste actually is, but I am still pretty proud of the end result!

Reception Area

Maybe someday I'll post pictures of my "pimped" cubicule, with lime green and fuschia accessories!

Sheep and necklaces?

These necklaces may not keep you warm this Fall, but they sure will make you look hot! Here are my latest creations, necklaces made of.. wool. Well actually, they are made of felted mohair wool beads. Aren't they cool?

Always a bridesmaid...

The past few weeks, most of my spare time has been used to prepare for my stebrother's wedding. He was getting married to his longtime girlfriend, and my gift to the happy couple was decorating the reception hall, as well as taking care of the plaaning and animation of the whole evening... Oh, and I made the invitations, too!

Here are some pictures of the centerpieces I created. I was pretty happy with the results, because it reflected the bride and groom's taste (she loves green, he's into purple, and their daughters like anything pink) more than my own...

Hopefully, this made their big day more special... and they will live happily ever after!

Beauty!

I was amazed today to find out that one of my bracelets - EARTH DAY - made it into an Etsy Treasury titled "Beauty"! How flattering is that? The beautiful collection of creations was handpicked by brazilnative and each and everyone, indeed, spells beauty!

My colourful idol!

For a few years now, the Ketto design company has been one of my favorites. Not only are they full of colorful ideas and surprises, they are a successful creative business. What started out as a ceramics company is now a full grown shop with clothing, jewelry, tableware and more...
