| Quando la mia bimba sogna! (by Sperling & Kupfer) My book sounds so lovely in italian! Don't you think? |
 |
| ...and it's a BOOK! |
 |
| BEFORE AFTER |
 |
| Saluki. (I absolutely love sight hounds) |
 |
| Epiphany. (as a teenager I realized that I'm not going to be ballet dancer, ever.) |
 |
| Look who's drawing too! |
 |
| She's into abstract expressionism. |
 |
| I tried to draw Croquis from a cornish rex cat photo, but I got carried away and coloured it a bit. |
 |
| Siamese. Meow! |
 |
| 1) First you need lot of pillows, 2) put a bedspread or comforter on top of that, 3) swim with the friends in a puddle of fabric! |
 |
| When I was a kid, sitting in a backseat was the most boring thing ever. Except when it rained. I used to watch moving drops on window, wonder which drops "fall in love" as a giant drop, and fall faster together. I guess falling down from the window is a good thing, if you are a drop? |
 |
| I just wanted to paint something cute to Mila's new room. I got my inspiration from Coraline book/movie. This is my cutie pie version of those characters. The clue of this painting is real sewed buttons as a eyes. |
 |
| These are our snap photos from Universal Studios ... |
 | |
|
 |
| If you didn't know, I'm a HUGE Stop Motion fan! Someday I'll do this too, I swear! |
 |
| On the wall of the nursery. |
 |
| Oh here it is! Our first book cover ♡ When My Baby Dreams (HarperCollins, Balzer + Bray ) |
 |
| This book is highly tested with the target audience. Here you can see the test group in action. ;) |
 |
| The Project Nursery: The reading corner is still middle of progress, I'd like to make some kind of babyproof divan there, where we could read or play with Mila. Before I figure out how to make that, there's just blankets and pillows to make it more comfortable. |
 |
| We went to New York too. This is from Central Park. What a lovely place. I loved all the museums and walking around the city. |
 |
| And I absolutely fall in love with the Cherry trees. They gave me an idea... |
 |
| I bought some water based and non-toxic Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and lamp shades.... |
 |
| ...and this basic "Kronetorp" chandelier. I also bought some silk cherry blossom -flowers. |
 |
| I coloured lamp shades with different colors. Blue grey as a sky, pink and darker pink as a cherry blossoms and light yellow as some buildings and sun. When they were dry, I took some thin black wire and twisted cherry branches to lamp. There's also pink silk ribbons tied to loop. |
 |
| Here it is, piece of New York in Mila's new nursery! |
 |
| Yes, my hubby used to have his And it was the only place where I didn't even try to put decorations, pillows and nice new curtains. His sacred man cave. Now all these fancy equipments and huge bunch of electric wires are at his new studio, and I deserve a medal for my patience. Don't you think? Now it's going to be Mila's nursery. |
 |
| makeover starts! |
 |
| Floor sanding. Oh my how I hate those cabin doors. I bet they are built from the ugly stick tree. |
 |
| Finally...NEW White floor! So much better already. I crochet bigger pillow from cotton yarn. Old violin we found from our attic, too bad it wasn't the Stradivarius. ;) |
 |
| Past is reaching to future. |
 |
| Since I've been buying stuff for nursery decorations, I've found also other cute things, like rosy pink, lila and greenish brown buttons. |
 |
| Hum... I see an owl! |
 |
| Here it is! |
 |
| This amazing transformer owl was my "model". (english text: http://animopedia.com/ptilopsis-leucotis-the-transforming-owl, picture source: http://kamoltd.blog110.fc2.com/blog-entry-29.html) |

| Happy happy, joy joy! |
