In the small coastal village in which my husband and I live, in one small street, every autumn, a young ginkgo tree flares up in an amazing display of colours. It is visible from far away and its bright yellow and soft orange nuances make me promise myself to make at least one similar branch from paper. I’m… Continue reading
I am one of the biggest supporters of the small urban home jungle movement. I don’t understand why people want big houses. They need so much to maintain and to worry about and the bills for electricity or heating are “eating” money from “travel and pleasure” budgets. Especially in times of crisis. Also, in some very… Continue reading
It is not a secret that paper plants are really having a big moment over the whole world. Years ago, observing how a public space landscape designer was mixing real and artificial plants in one of the biggest shops in my city, I was shocked! Really?! Isn’t this cheating?! “No, it is not cheating”, was… Continue reading

Have you ever heard of “sugar scrapbooking”. Maybe I created this name and maybe I didn’t, but the principles I will be showing you in this and the next few articles suit this name 100%. “Sugar” because these decorations are made with so-called “sugar paper” which is wafer and fondant paper. And “scrapbooking” because I… Continue reading
Although angels are around us all the time, Christmas is a good time to remember them and to make them a part of our decoration and gifts as a reminder to be good, helping and loving people… Today I am sharing a project I have been postponing for weeks. Most of us believe angels are… Continue reading
Ok, I admit, “Hug for kids” is a bit of a twisted title, but it absolutely encapsulates the main idea of my article, and also, the main idea of the producers of this Kid’s organic Lotion. Unfortunately on their site you can’t see the paper box, which I believe they should fix. When I first… Continue reading
There is something about Peonies that attracts almost every woman. Maybe this is the specific messiness of the flower or maybe the huge variety of shapes and colour shades. Or could it be a reminder of a better time, a desire to return to the past in a beloved Granny’s garden in the past and… Continue reading
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! The leaves were so shiny and healthy, looking like they were not real. I never thought of Magnolias as attractive plants before,… Continue reading
2020 was a unusual year. I can’t say it was bad for me. Actually, it was pretty good. I learned a lot of lessons, and all the people I love are healthy and alive. I also spent a lot of time with my husband, because of the lockdowns. Also, by tracking my healthy routines, I… Continue reading
Paper gives us very tactile and cerebral experiences at the same time. Thinking about paper throughout the span of history, we can imagine all the crafts and information, all the great discoveries written and saved on paper. And it is amazing how so many materials and uses are always changing, but paper and paper crafts… Continue reading
My husband and I are not general TV viewers, but there are some rare moments, when we feel like watching something – mostly when we’re stuck in a hotel room. And once we found the, “Through the worm hole” series with Morgan Freeman on Discovery Science and became fans. Recently, because of the Covid-19 situation… Continue reading
