I'm seriously thinking about my first giveaway ever but I'm still not sure about the prize.<br />
<br />
What's your fave item amongst those in my shop? Help a girl out!<br />

New resolution, new blog and then... nothing but start negleting things once again.<br />
Big news though: I've happily started sewing, handstitching and making things on a daily basis and I<b> L O V E </b>it. It keeps me happy, compliments motivate me and I started making all new kind of stuff!<br />
I got myself some nice Japanese broquade fabric (witch I really can't wait show you what will become), all kinds of resin supplies and a nice new studio that, yeah, still need a lot of work done but it does its work just fine even now :)<br />
I've finally updated my etsy shop with some new necklace collars, cameo necklaces/rings/brooches and Cameo cuff bracelets and I must say that I'm really proud of the new designs! I'm still working on some hand embroidered shirt collars (just got a small break to update the blog, actually :) ) wich I can't wait to show you.<br />
Speaking of which... It's time to get back to work now but I swear I won't keep all the big news that are coming for me from now on, summer is here in the ancient Rome and my crafty side just bloom like the most fragrant of the rose.<br />

Two days just to find some damn light green and purple felt? More than 20km covered? 10 shops visited? And thank god I live downtown in the fucking capital.<br />
This slowed down everything. Argh.<br />
<br />
So, I booked my place at a Japanese market that is all about handmade goodies. I was just postponing the resservation because deep in my soul I knew that when it was done I had got no more excuses and no more time to procrastinate doing NOTHING. Mental madness led me to this just to keep me in shape since I've got so much time for my daily Carmen Electra routine.<br />

Then two weeks ago I've finally come to my senses and I decided that at least I had to close all my old DIY projects, just to keep myself busy waiting for some f*cking inspiration.<br />
After hours of emotionless staring I began by removing 4 inches of dust from both my sewing machine and my work station, starting what then turned out to be a never ending hardcore sewing session.<br />
I'm seriously drawing, hand stitching and embroidering 20 hours a day and, although I know this is also leading me to various unconscious level of madness, I'm feeling like at last I set the ball rolling.<br />
So this blog it's all about my crazy, nonsense and bipolar crafty life.<br />
