Watercolour Protea flower – project for the whole family
Proteas are one of my favourite flowers. As you know, I grew up in Europe and even if we have all these amazing and beautiful flowers, we don’t have the “exotic” ones. For me, all the lands outside of Europe have such amazing plants, almost alien, which are impossible to not attract a flower lover’s… Continue reading

DIY home office Orchid decoration
A long, long time ago, when I was working in the morning TV show, my strongest memory from the writers’ desk is of a very sad Orchid with absolutely no flowers, looking like a dry brown stick in a pot. I don’t actually remember this Orchid ever having flowers. Sure, it was flowering, maybe when… Continue reading
Paper Magnolia wall art
This project was inspired by a tree in the garden of a coastal villa on the Black sea. Despite it being the beginning of winter and there were no flowers, it was gorgeous!

Do you want your own everlasting daisy chain?
Do you remember your childhood days’ daisy chains? I loved them! But for me’it was impossible to make them and I always had to ask the other girls to make them for me.

Total scrapbooking
Total scrapbooking is something like Total war, but in a very nice, creative way. You know I am a huge fan of real scrapbooking – when you use all the paper (and other materials) “things” around you and create greeting cards, notebooks or art. Actually, for me, this creative way is real art. And if… Continue reading
Dreaming Frida – how to make a paper flower crown
Why Frida? Yes, Frida Kahlo is very modern these days, good job Salma Hayek! But this woman is more amazing than the movie shows. In the years when “ethnic” was something not very cool, she used exactly that style to present herself as a creative personality. I am really happy that the “ethnic” style in… Continue reading
A Light Exists in Spring
or Flowers for Emily Dickinson Emily Dickinson is amazing, even though always a little bit sad. But maybe exactly this undertone makes me love her poems so much. To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee. And revery. The revery alone will do. If bees are few…. Continue reading
