It's Christmas Time (soon-ish)

Hello guys,

It's two months till Christmas and I decided that it's time to shape up (haha, get it? .. :D) my polymer clay Christmas items, and so I took these wonderful photos. I might make more holiday items by the end of the year, but I can't promise for sure, because I'm snowed under at work (get it? snowed... ok, no more puns, I promise :D).

Baba Marta – a Lovely Eastern European Spring Tradition

Baba Marta (roughly translated as Grandma March) is a mythical personification of the month of March in Bulgarian folklore. The mythical Baba Marta is thought to be bad-tempered and moody, thus explaining the rapid weather changes that usually occur in the month of March. It is believed that when Baba Marta is happy and in good spirits, the March weather is warm and sunny, but when she loses her temper, it becomes cold, windy and even snows.

New Blog Updates

Hey guys!

Ever since I revived my blog about a month or so ago, I have been working 'backstage' and tweaking various things to make the blog look even better every day. I'm no web designer and sometimes it takes way more time than I had expected, but so far I'm satisfied with the results.

I wanted to point out two of the new features I've added:

My experience with friendship bracelets

Hello guys!
I apologise for not posting anything here for a really really really long time, but now the wait is over! :P

Today we will talk about friendship bracelets :) You probably remember them from your childhood – everyone used to make them at school, very much as kids now make rubber band bracelets.

I'm alive!

Hey guys :)

You might be wondering what’s going on with me – well, I’m alive! :D
In the last few months I’ve been living and studying in Germany via the exchange program Erasmus, and that’s why I haven’t had much time to write or to make any new tutorials.

However, I’m having an awesome time here! Germany is a beautiful country, and even though in winter it’s cold as… (well not ‘hell’ apparently :D), it’s worth visiting.

I have to focus on my studies until my exchange is over, but in the meantime you can enjoy these beautiful photos I took in Germany :)

Have a nice day :)

Valentine's Day anyone?

Hello everybody :)

First, I would like to welcome you to my brand new blog, and I hope you enjoy its future content ;)

Second, Valentine's Day. Normaly I'm not into such 'cheesy' holidays, but there's two feet of snow outside right now, and I can't but get all cosy and cuddly :D
And so I decided to try and make a few Valentine's Day related items this year, you can check them out via my Etsy shop link in the 'Shops' tab. Next year hopefully I'll be able to make even better ones :)

And don't forget to check the other Valentine's items on Etsy! There are a whole lot of people with a whole lot of great ideas out there, maybe you'll be able to find the perfect gift ;)

Last but not least, I'm soon expanding my business and opening a new shop at DaWanda, so stay tuned and wish me luck!

That's all from me for now, expect a spring-related tutorial next time (ah the spoliers).

Greetings,
Sevda (WindySunset)
