Little daydreamer

Available soon in the Print Section

Yesterday I experienced the miracle I was waiting for. Don't ask me how it happened, but the anger and sadness I have been feeling recently suddenly disappeared, I was happy and full of inspiration. : )

I just love when I feel like this. This should be the way I feel in every single minute, but it's quite difficult to keep it when times are hard. I should focus on this post whenever I lose it again.

So as I said this wonderful day was filled with ART. Loads of it. I started working in the morning and only stopped it late in the night. There were loads of ideas in my idea-book already waiting for me to complete them. And yesterday it happened. I finished some new paintings, and some mixed media jewellery. The first brooch is listed on Etsy already, some more to come soon : )

Harmony - Mixed Media Brooch

And it didn't stop there. Today I continued the work I started and completed some more little paintings and worked on some bigger ones. Also, there are a few more 5x7" paintings prepared for me to work on tomorrow. Exciting things : )

She expects miracles

Busy, complicated and messy times are behind me, and they are not over yet. I've been working towards achieving my dreams, but with a strange decision I made it a lot more complicated. Sometimes it makes me lose my hope, but I do believe miracles happen, so I try everything to keep going.

Recent happenings:

New prints in my Etsy shop with positive thoughts, they do give me hope : )

Prints available in my Etsy shop

I created some really pretty mixed media necklaces, which are getting loads of favorites on Etsy. I just love them.

I had a very successful craft fair, where I was selling my older jewellery designs, which are now available on my website, and they are all reduced by at least 50% 

More bracelets on sale

My website will have some little changes, but you can purchase the available items even before the changes are done. Here is the link for the sale section of the site: http://www.iyobodesign.co.uk/jewellery%20sale-c-7.php 

Kind hearted

New print in my shop

Making others happy can be fulfilling, but you can get to a point when you feel your happiness is what you should work for, even if others don't like it. Always follow the guides of your angel. She knows what is good for you. Don't be scared to be "selfish".

I painted this little angel to help me to get through a difficult period of my life, where I do need to remember that I should finally focus on my own happiness. Really hoping she will help me...

The original painting is also available in my shop

Birthday girl

Now that my little baby got 4 I had to take her birthday a lot more seriously as before, so she got a proper cake (this is going to be my newest hobby) and I organised her a little party.

Her hair was done also for the big day. It took me about 2 days to complete it, though we had loads of short and longer breaks to make it easier for both of us.

I couldn't get a proper photo of her where no one else is showing so I had to cut this one a bit. You can see a bit of hair and the cake as well.

A little extra information about me: I noticed this since I was a child... if something can be done by hand I am going to do it. I mean, I will not buy a professional one done by someone else, I will try everything possible to make it myself. I think it's because I can't live without creating. So I learned how to plait my daughter's hair, and now I'm learning how to make a proper cake (until her 4th birthday I always covered cakes with chocolate and they tasted nice but they looked ugly,lol) I don't say this cake was perfect, but hey, this was my first time covering it in this icing thingy... which I loved working with, I think that came from my polymer clay background : )

The recent few weeks were pretty stressful around here, but hoping to continue my blogging plans nicely from now on.

Since then I managed to list prints in my Etsy shop They can be found here. I already sold 2, so that's a really big step.

I updated my Etsy shop today, so hopefully it works better a bit and it will be found by more people.

Next on my list is an About page for Etsy, but first I need some good photos of me, and that's not easy ; )

I should really work on my neglected Facebook page as well, but that's something I don't feel like doing for some reason.

Oh, and would be great to find some more followers, I feel quite alone here : )

Would you follow me please...

Random numbers

This is a short and sweet story about random numbers. I can't explain, but sometimes I like some numbers better than others. I used this theory when I was waiting for my daughter to be born as well... I was thinking which date I would like her to arrive. I was due on 6th June, but somehow felt that she was going to come a tiny bit earlier. So I decided (lol) that I liked 28th May the best. And so she did : ) Can't believe she is 4 this month. : )

This time I used my number choosing theory to set a target circle number on Etsy. In February, when I decided that I was going to make my dreams happen I wrote myself a number I wanted to achieve. That day I had about 120 circles. (boy, that sounds like a lot) But I was aiming for 586. I said it, don't ask me why, lol.

And because this blog is about making my dreams (and yours if you join me) come true I can now announce that the number of my circles today is 579! Not achieved my goal yet I know, but it is very very close, so I thought I would let you all know, that things are happening here : )

I just listed 4 new items in my Etsy shop. And they are getting favorites like crazy : ) It makes me very happy.

And because I heard it's better to have a photo in your blog posts, here is one of my baby girl : )

I will show you some more recent ones too hopefully soon.

Inspirational daughter

Do you know the feeling when your heart jumps one or two times suddenly when you are doing what you truly love? This is what I just felt. I'm been working on some new paintings recently and they give me that feeling I was always looking for. This is what I wanted to do all my life. I love it! : )

Yesterday evening when I was ready with some backgrounds and started to work on the first one I remembered my daughters words she keeps on asking these days: "Mummy, when are you going to paint ME?" And I did. She never goes anywhere without her bunny so they are both in the picture : )

Available in my Etsy shop

There are some pretty backgrounds ready for me to continue with them tomorrow. Can't wait. I'm really excited about this new venture. : )

Would love to know how you are getting on with your dreams. I know you have some big ones : )
