Anual Goal Setting [Freebie]

At the end of a year I usually take some time for setting goals and thinking about possible project for the upcoming year. I do so in 3 steps. 

Step 1: Note down goals and projects for the whole year no matter when exactly you're going to work on it.

Step 2: Now sort those goals into the four quarters. If necessary break a goal down into various steps.

Step 3: Break down your goals even further and sort them into the 12 months. I recommend doing so quarter by quarter. Mostly planning a month in detail about a year in advance will not work out. So around the beginning of March sit down to map out your goals and projects for April until June and so on.

I love to have my lists of goals handy all the time therefore they're part of my planner.

Self-Made Goodies

Hello everyone,

A little while ago I finished some birthday goodies and with that sort of continued my stash busting journey as I tried to use solely materials that I had already at home.

Here's what I came up with:

1) Scrunchies

This one's one of my most favorite DIY gift to give as they are quick and easy to sew. I used 100% cotton fabrics from Buttinette.

2) Soma Cube

I created this puzzle using my own free Soma Cube Printables. Join my Discord Community to grab your copy!

3) Paw-Shaped Felt Purse

As a cat and dog lover I thought this might be a cute idea :)

The material is felt plus simple cotton fabric for the lining.

4) Coloring Book

This is a coloring book with just a few pages. The content is inspired by nature and most of all by my most favorite season which is Fall.

See you soon!

Zodiac Signs & Constellations & Free Printables & Changes to the Blog

Hello everyone,

a little while ago I had the great idea to decorate my bedroom walls with the constellations of the zodiac signs. Well, I didn't expect that DIY project to take that long but in the end it took me about 8 hours in total to finish it.

First I looked for some useful pictures online using the google image search. Afterwards I transferred these onto paper using Gimp and Microsoft Word. I'll spare you the details here.

The most annoying part was to figure out where to place which constellation. I ended up using some yarn, a triangle, a straightedge and some crepe tape to do that.

Having all the constellations in place I added about 180 fluorescent star shaped stickers to the wall.

And I am more than happy with the result :)

What do you think? :)

And as I'm totally into zodiac signs and star constellations lately I thought it would be awesome to create some zodiac sign printables for you. Click on the picture below to download your copy :)

Soooooo last but not least, there are some changes I have in mind for my blog or better to say for my blogging schedule. Currently, I am trying to post something every two weeks. But to be honest, at the moment it's kinda hard for me to find the time, the topics and the energy to do so. So what I am planning to do is trying to post monthly for a little while. One post per month. I am not quite sure yet on which day will be posting day but I'll figure that one out soon I guess.

Alright, that's it for today.

Happy Craftin'!

Self-Made Stationery & Free Easter Printables

Hello my friends,

I just recently bought this amazing hand lettering book by Frau Annika. It so inspired me to design some stationery. Well, basically I was just doodling on white sheets of paper but I think it turned out quite cute, don't you think?

Quite a fun way to create unique stationery. I am thinking about writing a tutorial for this, what do you guys think?

And with Easter not too far away, I thought it would be great to offer a new set of free printables :) Of course the printables had to be Easter related and sort of colorful.

Happy Craftin' my friends and see you soon!

Doilies anyone? [Printables]

Hello everyone,

welcome to 2018!!!

How were the Holidays my friends? Did you celebrate? I spent Christmas at my parents' place together with my sister and my brother in law. We all had a really nice and quiet time. Nothing huge, nothing fancy.

Well, now the holidays are over and the New Year has begun.
And I thought we might start the new year off with some free printables for you :)

I myself love crafting with doilies, especially when they are tea-dyed. So today, I've got some doily printables for you in two different colors.
Just click on the following pictures to download the equivalent PDF files:

          

The ones on the left were dyed using fruit tea, the ones on the right using black tea.

Apart from that I would also like to share with you my latest song obsession I came across at YouTube the other day:

Happy Craftin'!
