The Craft(ing)

Why do I always feel so inspired and produtive, when University has started? Maybe because I see so many more things in my daily life when I travel about (it takes me about an hour to get to my lectures), maybe it is a side-effect from being organized and getting some structure into my usual spontaneous lifestyle or maybe it is because I need to balance the many non-creative things I am doing the majority of my day.

Currently I am in-between doing a lot of things at once and I couldn't be happier about it - especially because there is a lot of caramel and apple tea (apple tea is the only fruity tea I occasionally like!) to drink and even more trashy fantasy teenie movies to watch whilst being crafty - and should I run out of them, there is always 8 Harry Potter films to save the day.


I have been working on my Tarot cards, which is - without an edge-cutter - quite a task but I adore the results so far! 

 Then there is this wee candle-holder that was granted a paintjob, because the colours looked dull and I waned to transform the gnome into a second mushroom (not because I dislike gnomes)
 
Before...
 ...and after!

If you are following me on Instagram, you have already seen the scratching pole I made for my cat but I think it still eserves an honorable mention here:

 And apart from some nifty little things that will be gifted to some friends later this year (and of which I will of course show no pictures ! thehe!), I have also aquired the skill of bookbinding and am currently working on a leatherbound journal with aged pages for myself. Maybe you will find some creations in my shop in the future - I am definitely enjoying this craft very much and oh so many ideas for books!

 

It will be clad in the dark brown and soft leather you can see on the picture, I cannot wait to share the results (and I also cannot wait to get my paws on some leather-craft supplies to adorn the cover with some personal designs!

This is what I am up to, when I am not studying, fluffing the cats or exploring the woods~

An enchanting evening to all of you!
