it’s still winter winter winter. the time of gifts.

Finally. All my winter season presents are delivered. Yes, it took a while. And now it’s time to share them.

Colorful lights

My New Year started with home-made glass lanterns…

Love to you all, have a good year,

Making postcards

Monika — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:53:54 +0000

I love my friends. But sometimes my friends tend to come up with some crazy ideas such as going far far away from me. And then I make postcards. This one is for Laura.

Midsummer’s Night Dream

This smell of rain…

White roses, candlelight and fragrant smoke of incense remind me of my last summer’s nights and wonderful xxxHolic.

The only thing that I’m missing is a lot butterflies (yes, xxxHolic was the first reason for my little obsession with them). And this time they are small and delicate, and this time I make them myself.

(If you’d like to make one yourself you may found out how to right here.)

As much as I am Yuuko, the two of them are nothing else but gifts. Gift giving is something very close to granting wishes. Sometimes it’s the same.

May your wish be granted.

From the two of us, I have never been the princess in the highest tower so there is nothing left to me but to try very hard to become a prince – to make you want me as much as I want you to.

Castelli di Rabbia

Monika — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 21:55:22 +0000

These dark and silent nights…

Black night is falling
The sun is gone to bed

when the snow is no longer falling with that perfect sound…

The innocent are dreaming
As you should sleepy-head

while listening to “Scatterheart” by Björk… and silently whispering:

My
Dearest
Scatterheart
There is comfort
Right in the eye
Of the hurricane
Just. to. make. it. easier. on. you.

“He was a genius of glass for many years now, like was his father, like was his father’s father, who was the first in the family to sent his peasant father to hell, and set off to learn the beautiful art of producing this magical stone, spiritless and colorless stone, stone, that had neither name nor past, stone, which he called glass”.

I am dreaming…

Sleepy-head, sleepy-head

…dreaming about a beautiful castle.

My little crystal palace. Handmade, given to me already a long long time ago.

One day, when I’ll be living in a huge white house…

…I’ll have something like this.

Beautiful creative workplace by Crafty Intentions.

“Put that book down and give me a kiss”

I just love those simple things some people are able to come up with. This time it’s a beautiful idea from Jessica Jones – heart-shaped paper clips. Simple, easy to make and cute.
