Gute Besserung

 

 Hello creative friends!

 

Überall schnupft und niest es, alle sind krank und erschöpft. 

Ein lieber Krankenbesuch kann helfen und man möchte auch eine kleine Aufmerksamkeit mitbringen. 

So habe ich mir überlegt etwas zu werkeln, was man neben Medizin 

und anderen nützlichen Dingen schenken kann. 

 

Entstanden ist diese Teekanne, gefüllt mit Kräutertee, 

aus der neue Energie in Form von Zahnrädern fließt, dekoriert mit duftenden Gewürzen.

Baking Fun - Christmas cookies

 

 Hello creative friends!

In our family, we love to bake biscuits with the children every year, and it's a tradition that never fails to bring joy. The kitchen might end up a bit of a mess, but that's all part of the fun! The mums go through litres of coffee, while the kids get their hands dirty with flour and sugar. And the end result? Delicious cookies that everyone loves. It's a real miracle, and one of the highlight of our year! 😀

 To commemorate this event, I made a layout with a little leash next to funny photos in the shape of a star. I attached envelopes containing the mysterious biscuit recipes to the leash with clips.

 I was inspired to create a home decor project as a small Thank - you gift.

 I glued two hearts offset on top of each other and used colours and textures

 to create a grunge project in steampunk style hanging wall decoration

Market Stall with Dusty Attic

 Hello creative friends!

 Our family loves to visit a Christmas market before Christmas. It's a great way to get into the festive spirit! You can enjoy mulled wine and waffles in the cold weather. 

I was really taken with this market stall when I first saw it. These little cranes and barrel buckets are so cute.
Thanks to very simple and clear assembly instructions, it's quick to put together. 

When I was designing it, I was thinking about the famous Striezelmarkt in Dresden (Germany). There are lots of artisan stalls there. Each one is individually designed with lots of love.
It was tough to decide on a theme for this stand, so I went with a neutral weathered look. I used crackle medium, light acrylic colours and some texture. I covered the roof and back wall with paper.

The crates and barrels were also meant to look a bit worn. They were first painted in different colours with a walnut stain gel and then decorated with a little bit of winter snow. 

You can also create a lovely ambience with a warm LED light.


What makes this piece special is You can fill the boxes with different items at any time to create a completely different look. I'm planning to use it as a sweet and bakery stand next time. 

After Christmas, I don't want to hide it in the cupboard, so I'm already excited to see what it will look like then.

Coming in 2025

Do not open until Christmas

 Hello!

 Do you know this problem, you've baked loads of biscuits in the run-up to Christmas, but somehow they've all disappeared? 

That's why this year there's a safe hiding place and a gift box that you can't open until Christmas Eve.
Add a few nice Dusty Attic Christmas chippies, and this gift idea becomes something special.

 Oh, well, of course it was always the Grinch who stole the biscuits! 😏😁
