Our EST challenge for this week has the theme Elizabethan era. Not easy. So I mostly went for the colors of the pic Dina - this weeks challenge boss - has used for inspiration.
The result is not exactly what I planned. I would have needed other supplies and I’d love to run and buy something but - the challenge is over on Monday so, no time. What a pity!
Mhh… maybe I should buy supplies anyway. Who knows, could as well be that I need to make another Elizabethan thing soon! ;)

Elisabeth I is available in my Etsy Shop

This beautiful treasury with my butterflies journal in it made it to the frontpage on Etsy. And I can tell you, I really need all exposure I can get. Such a dry spell at the moment …

I’m addicted to handmade soaps. I think, I’ve said it already …
So far, I’ve ordered soap from four Etsy shops. And I would love to shop at each of them again but - there are so many others I still have to try!
Today, I got my order from dennisanderson and though the soaps are still sealed, I’m already in love with the smells of them…
And see that lovely soapdish? leandogpottery made if specially for me and it fit’s great in our bathroom!
Oh - and I also wanted to show the two journals I made for this weeks challenge: WASPS! Though I don’t love wasps, I really liked that challenge.

Look at that big amount of stamps! Amazing…
Well yes, one could say that I do really have enough fabrics by now. But I was asked for a trade. Don’t do that usually, but supplies are my soft spot. I just could not say no :)

That’s fun! Sometimes I wish I could just paint and don’t have to make it into journals, though… :)

My European Street Team has a new weekly challenge. This time we got a painting of Van Gogh for inspiration. I love it and that’s how far I’m with my entry now.
Could as well be that I do something else. Have other ideas too … Ah! All that decisions always!
Estella is this weeks host and she’s collecting all entries in her blog. Go and have a look!

He got his basket in our bedroom. Doors are closed so he can’t go downstairs and fight invisible ghosts. So far, it’s working! Until hubby get’s up. That’s rather early and he takes dog downstairs with him then. Just - when he leaves, dog is ready to start the day and not willing to let me sleep any longer …
Will see how it goes on the weekend, when no alarm clock starts peeping. Wish us luck! :)
Some new journals in my shop:

A little walk not far away. Not a really pretty landscape so I’m always attracted by the little details …
