Private swap?

Private swap?
Originally uploaded by Nifty loves crafting

Good afternoon my dears!

I've been thinking of the blog all week! And I've longed to write another post, so that is good for the future of blogging. Hope everything is good with you?
I have had a stressful week but to day I had time at my hairdresser and that gave me time to relax and get into weekend mode:-)

As a steep towards getting into my creativity again I posted a question in my flickr profile, if anyone wanted to do a privet swap with me. I got two responses, from two girls that I know and have swapped with before.
One swap is going to be about art cards, with a vintage theme and lace. Just what I like! The second swap is going to be a traditional swap, with craft materials, fabrics and buttons. All with a colour theme. I will post pictures of the swaps when they are ready!

Tonight I'm off on a date with my husband, it's dinner and a move. Hope that your weekend will be great, see you next week!

If you have time, do write and tell be about how you get your creativity going again?
Hugs,
Cecilia

I'm back!

Hello my dear old blog!

I think I'm back. Ever since I stopped blogging in 2009 I have waited for my inspiration to come back. I really missed it. But it only came back in small portions and never stayed for long. This was such a big part of me that were gone. Over the summer I got married and tried blogging in Swedish. But that too failed me. I have been thinking of it for a long time and come to the conclusion that it will never come back if I don't work on it. I have to force the creativity to come back in my life!
If you have any tips out there on how to get the inspiration and creativity back into my life, let's hear them!

So slowly I will be opening this blogg up again. Perhaps only once a week to start with and then more often. And I could need all the encouragement I can get, so if I have some old readers out there, let me know!?

So what is going on you creative life? Do you have any tips and ideas to share? As for me, I've just wrapped up some cute gifts for my nephew in all pastel colours well suited for a boy. But I also have my thoughts on Christmas, Christmas card to be more specific. Perhaps I should get started early this year? So that I will finish on time and actually send them!

Above, you see pictures of the birthday boy with his grandmother and my view writhing this. I think that if I'm going to get this blog going again I need to look over the tags, layout and update my profile. This is going to be fun!

last post

So, it's time for the last post on this blog. I want to say thank you to all how has commented, read and viewed. Thank you for all you inspiration and see you soon!
I finish off with a totally random picture and to tell you that Emma was the winner of my pillow case from the last post! See you out there!

it's not you, it's me

The blog and I are breaking up...it's not you, it's me. Perhaps I'll come back or I'll start a new but this is it from me. I'll still be on flickr, facebook, twitter and continue reading your blogs.

Before I leave you I wanted to show you this pillow case I made the other day when it was raining. I like it a lot but it doesn't fit into my home. Is there someone out there who would like to trade it for something? Or if nor yo can have it. Leave a comment here and I'll draw a winner next week on tuesday. So, I will be back once more! Have a great summer and see you in the bloggospere!
