At Work

I was at work this evening and it was a quite productive session. The ready pieces are coming soon!

Get rid of the pain: get a piercing!

I think today I discovered one great remedy for any kind of bad day: get a piercing! All the pain leaves your mind as the piece of metal enters your skin - and will stay much longer than the pain itself that you had before. I can say it really turned my bad day into a good one.

The wooden chest I show you here was a present from the girl who got this earring from me. She made it for tea filters but as I never drink tea we decided to use it for my supplies. Nowadays it is hard to even close it as full as it is, no wonder that last time I broke the glass when I wanted to pack my things up after the fair. It has small sections inside and smells of wood. Lovely, isn't it?

Unfortunately Kata, the maker does not have a blog or website which I could link here which is a pity as she has already made plenty of useful stuff worth showing.

From Bozsomati

When celebrating Christmas 2010 I received a very special present from one of my friends (the one of the three who got the bracelets from me). It was hand-made by her sister, the blogger Bozsomati. I would like to show it to you on this blog as it is very closely related to my jewelry-making hobby.

It is a medium sized pouch for my beadworking. As you see below, when you open it up it has little pockets inside, each of which contains a little bottle to be used for beadworking supplies. I keep my stoppers, hooks, and other supplies and accessories here. As you see it has also some space for a small box with all the smallest wooden beads I use. It comes really handy as I travel every weekend so I can just throw it into my luggage with some other small bags containing all the beads and accessories.

This was one of the best gifts I have ever been given and I was so lucky to get something truly hand-made especially for me.

I hope you like it too. In case you would like to see more of Bozsomati's works, you can always check out her (Hungarian) blog under the links on the left side of this page. She is working mainly with textile but if you think this means only bags and blankets, you will be surprised just for how many different purposes this material can be used!
