Crochet by XauXau

Black Friday/Cyber Monday

2011-11-25T21:51:00.000+02:00

It's that time of year again.

The best weekend when to buy all those unique gifts for your loved ones..

I am participating as well in this crazy weekend offering FREE worldwide shipping during 25/11 - 28/11. So hurry up! :)

And here is an item which I plan to list in my shop tomorrow. Yes, with free shipping. Don't miss it. ;)

swirling triangle

2011-11-21T20:13:00.000+02:00

This is my newest creation and I just love the playfulness of it!

Pastels mixed with bright colors and all that it does - is make you smile. :)

Already listed in my shop! :) Here.

I do recycled.

2011-11-13T19:59:00.002+02:00

I am amazed by the various ways how other artists play around the theme 'recycled'. Internet and Etsy is full of ideas how old things can be transferred in new looks. So I thought - what could I make?

And once I had worked on a bigger project where a lot of crochet beads had to be made an idea struck me. Because beside the finished necklace there was a pile of left overs yarn which normally I would just throw away. But this pile was so big and I thought - if all the fibers were united I could make a separate necklace from it!
Oh, but maybe I can glue them together!

And I had so much fun when putting it together! It was really like painting.. There is no copy for this necklace possible. Cause every fiber is with its structure, length and color and all together is an unique splash of colors.

Every fiber is glued to a crochet cotton basic part. All loose ends are hardened a bit with glue.

And finished with a metal chain. And still available in my shop here.

This is my way of recycling. Using all materials till the very end and not throwing away. :)

my creative space..

2011-09-08T08:59:00.001+03:00

I just love to play with colors! Even more when I have bought a new piece of yarn in a color I didn't had before. :D Then my fingers start to tickle in this big urge to Make something from it!
So this time was the basic blue colors turn along with red, yellow and green. The basic quartet. :)

The recipe for this necklace was quite simple. Just take 12 wooden beads:

4 different color yarns:

And start to crochet!
So simple and outcome - admiring fun! :)

For more creative spaces look here.

where do my creations go?

2011-08-30T20:15:00.003+03:00

Where do my creations go?

This is the question which often lingers in my mind.

Other sellers will understand me and join in the following question-game:

Does she like it? Or maybe she doesn't like it at all.. Does she wear it a lot? Will she come back?

Uhhh..

Part of the questions are answered when you receive a feedback but not always you receive it and sometimes it can be just one sentence or bare Positive. This of course is also good and much more better then Neutral or Negative. :D

Oh, but it sure feels so ni i i ii i i i ii ice when people say something more.. It gives such a creative boost!

And even more when a photo is sent:

Maria from AdeloCreations bought from me 3 cherry necklaces - the red, yellow and golden cherries. She asked me to make the chains longer for which I asked her to promise that she will send me some photo with her and the necklaces. And she kept her promise! :)

Thank you Maria again!

It makes me want to make another berry necklace! :D

Maria herself has a very beautiful shop and I can't wait to have a chance to buy this beautiful cloud necklace:

Hope to have a lot of customers like Maria. :)

arrows.

2011-08-25T15:58:00.000+03:00

Which way?

You say straight?

But maybe on the left?

Hmm..

Sometimes when there are too many arrows it can be quite annoying and is not helping at all in choosing the right way.
But if there is just one? And this one arrow is as a wearable necklace..

..then there should be no problems to find the best way how to look kitschy, unique and trendy.

These two necklaces are result of so many inspiring arrows on Etsy and elsewhere.
Already listed on my shop:
- in soft pastel colors
- in navy blue and bright colors
Both of them are oriented and points not straight on the ground but a bit on the left (navy blue one) and on the right (pastel one).
So choose the one which helps you to answer - Which way?

macarons?!

2011-08-15T21:27:00.001+03:00

Awhile ago I played (again) with my crochet hook and noticed that the very simplest crochet pattern if combined in different colors and fun idea can result in a very eye catching necklace.

I call it macarons because of the twisted shape it has and because of the pastel colors which reminds me of the french cookies - macarons. I have never tasted them but I sure would like to.. :) They look yummy!!

Simple, fun color combination and easy to wear. This is my newest listing - twisted macarons.

geometric.

2011-08-10T19:45:00.001+03:00

When I left for my Europe journey (about which I still haven't managed to tell you anything.. sorry!) I promised to list some new items as soon as I would come back. So.. two weeks have passed by and I have managed to re-list all my expired listings (pfu!) and I can finally fulfill what I promised for you and also for myself. :)

Soo.. before I left I had been working on different geometric figures. And the first one I have listed is this blue/yellow diamond shaped necklace:

blue Diamond

This item is also reminding me of my childhood because the mustard yellow cotton used in this pendant is vintage. Manufactured still in the Soviet times and unused till today. I just love the color of it! Only minus is that I have just one little spool of it but I hope I will be able to find some more. :)

Hopefully tomorrow listing some more! ;)

vintage inspired..

2011-08-07T17:06:00.001+03:00

You all remember those colorful blankets made of little crochet squares sewn together by our grandmothers, right? These brooches are new items to my shop inspired by this design.

granny square brooch No 3

granny square brooch No 2

granny square brooch No 1

Lovely isn't it?

I am open for custom orders so if you have your own favorite granny square - let me know! :)

Returning home..

2011-08-07T13:31:00.000+03:00

Yes, I am back from my 2 and a half week long trip around Europe and I had missed Etsy! So I re-opened my shop and made some few treasuries. And guess what? One of them was featured on the front page! Titled: walk in the past.

Thank you Etsy!

You can have a closer look to it here.

featured at Folkure..

2011-06-11T13:04:00.000+03:00

A few weeks ago Amanda wrote me asking to make an interview with me which to be published on her blog - Folklure boutique. Of course I agreed and spared some time one evening to answer to all of her questions.. Read about it here. Personally I like the outcome. :) Hope you too..

Amanda is not just a blogger. She is also an Etsian with a shop here.

This cloud necklace is really making you to rise few centimeters up from the ground.. Hope she will continue in the same spirit as she have started her Etsy shop and blog. :)

I like to be featured..

2011-06-10T20:37:00.003+03:00

Oh, happy days!
How I love those days when I am being featured on the Front Page of Etsy!
With this treasury I was featured 2 days ago:

It is curated by urbanantique and the name of the shop expresses the beauty of her pictures with urban places and antique finishing.. Like this Engracia Overlook:

And with this treasury I was featured yesterday:

This pink tone treasury is curated by lesalikes. Also her items carry a spirit of vintage. Like this aqua blue brooch with vintage laces:

Love it! Sea Green and Aqua Brooch, Lace and Mahogany Series

Handmade crochet lamp.

2011-06-06T20:26:00.001+03:00

Difficulties to find a lamp for our bedroom that would satisfy our taste and wallet led me to an idea that I should try to make something myself.

When we moved in, the room had a lamp made of paper and I really couldn't stand it so I took it off and I realized that it has a metal frame. Perfect to have it as a basic for my crochet lamp!

Our bedroom is mainly in white so I wanted the lamp to be also white. Started to crochet and here is the result:

I really like how it looks in the evening! It gives nice shadows to the ceiling..

Uhh, romantic!

In the beginning I made the basic part and stitched in a white lining so that it gives a more faded light.

But it didn't look finished.. So I made these little romantic flowers and stitched them on the corners. And wholaa! - that's more like it, isn't it? :)

What lamp do you have in your bedroom? Feel free to share.. :)

new forms.

2011-05-16T21:46:00.001+03:00

Have you noticed that sometimes our creative thoughts/ideas are like a nuclear chemical reaction? One idea leads to two, two to four etc.

It can be quite irritating in times when you are materializing one idea and the other one is already making your thoughts be someplace else. And then there can be these quiet times when no idea comes. It's better then to do something completely else. Like going fishing, for an instance. :D

Making this necklace was an idea for a long time. A while ago I found the time to create it and now it's finally finished and already listed in my shop here.

It's different from the other necklaces I have made as the beads are not hanging separately but stitched together in different positions making an uninterrupted semicircle.

Really different, isn't it?

Candies.

2011-05-10T19:59:00.004+03:00

Some time ago I played with crochet beads and this time I didn't stop at crocheting around 1 bead like I always do. I continued till there were 3 of them. And I looked at it and saw a possible candy there. So I put some different color crochet laces at the edges and tied it in a translucent band and wholaa - I've got 4 delicious looking candies:

It can be worn in several ways. Close to your neck as a choker:

A good substituter for bow ties, don't you think so?

Or a bit further as a long necklace:

And also as a headband, bracelet etc.

This pale blue candy has been already listed in my shop. Soon other colors will follow.

Deep Thought.

2011-05-04T17:24:00.001+03:00

Have you seen movie The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Well, if you like science fiction and adventure movies with a lot of dose of humor - you should see it!

Didzis loves this movie and also the book on witch the movie is based on.

So.. there is this character called Deep Thought and I was so amazed with this figure (Didzis also) that I decided to give Didzis the best Christmas present ever - t-shirt with the Deep Thought on it.

To make it, a girl named Maruta helped me. If more precisely - her boyfriend helped me because he loves this movie as well and he draw the perfect Deep Thought picture in a few moments! :o

Maruta is a graphic designer and does a lot of other things.. You can find her blog here if you don't mind reading in Latvian or German.

And so the outcome can be seen here:

I hope this helps a bit to generate an idea what to give for your loved ones in some special day or holidays. :)

Soviet kitsch.

2011-02-07T21:31:00.000+02:00

Ironing-board.

I need an ironing board.

But what kind of? The one from the supermarket? Made from plastic and metal, not standing straight and leaving little square imprints on the thinest clothing pieces? Thank you, but no.

So another solution had to come. And it did.

My wish was to have an ironing board like my mom had. From the old Soviet times - made from wood and serving so good for many years.

I found an advertisement offering custom made ironing-boards made from wood and funny colorful fabrics - they really looked wonderful but unfortunately a bit too expensive and seen in life they didn't meet my expectations. So I did some more searching on the net and I found what I was looking for.

A woman was selling an old Soviet ironing-board just for 5 lats!! (10$ or 7,5€). Of course, it didn't look very nice but that didn't stop me. The old fabric was replaced by a new one:

And wholaa - I have a new(old) ironing-board!

Before and After

Happy ironing!

the autumn

2010-09-26T19:23:00.002+03:00

The autumn has come again..

Since I have a boyfriend who is like crazy for travelling and who Loves warmth I slowly start to become that sort of as well. It sure is freezing! - is my first thought in early mornings when I am going to work but there is some positive thing about that - it wakes you up immediately. :D

So, yes - after my graduation and crazy travelling to Italy I have found a job which takes the most of my time. I was so used to live without time limits!! Ahh.. I am now working in one of the State Agencies and the job is really interesting 'though I have to deal with papers most of the time. All the documentation is in English and so I don't have to worry that I might forget it - on the contrary! :) And every day you find out something new despite the fact that you have worked there for a year or more.

From September the 1st we have a new Home. :)

So guess where the rest of my free time goes? :D

And those of you who have noticed that my shop doesn't have any new listings and my absence here in this blog - you can see why.

While travelling a new idea was born. Glue and crochet. A perfect combination to gain new forms and outcomes from crochet. So lots of earrings and pendants were made in a sincere joy and love to the new idea and process of creating.

A week ago I made some photos but the ones with model are still to be made. I was planning to make them today.. but somehow I (we) didn't managed to do it as we had our first visitors in our Home. But I am thinking of listing the close-ups in the upcoming days as I am very eager to show you them as soon as possible.

And here is a little peek of what I am talking about:

Earrings - Daisy garden

Few movie tips and vanilla sauce.

2010-08-04T23:03:00.001+03:00

While I haven't started my full time job I have some time to enjoy myself and not only myself.

So I watched some movies and here are two that I would recommend also for you:

"Veronika Decides to Die" - based on a novel by the famous writer Paulo Coelho:

Watch it if you are wondering why is it worth to live.

And the other one is "Corpse Bride" by Tim Burton:

Not an ordinary cartoon. Loved it!!!

Yesterday I was visiting my boyfriends family and Didzis mom made some desert and complained that something is missing. And that something was vanilla sauce which she doesn't know how to make. I smiled and said - well, I think I can help you.. So I went to the shop, bought some milk, eggs and vanilla, surfed in the net to refresh my memory about the proportions and went in the kitchen.

1liter of milk

6 egg yolks

120 grams of sugar

and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

Pour milk in the pot and heat it up right before it starts to boil (turn the heating on the very minimum). Mix egg yolks with sugar and vanilla (not too hard) and add few spoons of the milk so that they get used to the hot milk. After that in small doses add egg mixture into the milk and slowly mix the whole sauce. After all egg mixture is added continue to heat and mix until you feel that the sauce is becoming thicker. It is done. Cool it down and enjoy heaven! :)

'I met an Etsian'. cartevenezia

2010-07-27T12:50:00.001+03:00

While the photo camera is broken and I am not able to shoot my newest crochet beauties I will tell you a story how I met an Etsian in the very center of Venice.

Before the trip I browsed in Shop Local (a fantastic way how to find shops from the country you are interested in) for artists from Venice and I found two that I sure wanted to meet. Oh, it would have been two stories here if alibli wouldn't have gone for a trip herself! Well, I sure hope that her trip to Sweden was as great as mine and that we will meet some other time! By the way.. her name is also Alice. :)

Now you must be curious with who I met then. :) With a gorgeous, hospital and talented Rosanna Corrò of Cartevenezia. She is just starting her shop in Etsy and more of her work you can find in her homepage. But of course to get the very most impression and idea of her work you should go and see her creations in live at her shop in Venice as I did. :)

I was very anxious to meet her and see what she is creating. Everything from paper? That just has to be something very unique, right? At least for me who has always been surrounded by cotton, wool and other yarn.

Here is what she has to say about her paper:

'The papers I marbleized are multicolored explosions which fluctuate from vibrant to modern tastes. Although they are similar, the marbleized sheets realized in limited ranges are always unique items. They cover unique handmade creations in cardboard, with highly original character.'

I loved her shop! It is situated on a little street where lots of tourists pass by and as you walk inside it seems you have stepped in a very cozy room full of colors, textures and kitsch. The brick walls are beautiful backgrounds for her work and cools down the heat that comes from outside.

It is amazing what can be made of paper! These bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings and pictures:

Gorgeous!

Rosanna has the honor to be featured in Lonely Planets Guide books and I think it is overwhelming to be evaluated so much. :) I wish the best success for her also in Etsy and I hope she will make her dream come true to live one day in Brazil. Thank you a lot Rosanna for your hospitality, for the beer we drunk nearby your shop and for the good advices what to see more in Venice! :)

Venice, I love you.

2010-07-23T16:59:00.003+03:00

Yes, it is true. I have fell in love with Venice. And I know that I will be understood by the people who have also been there and maybe even by the people who have just seen some pictures or a TV program. So little from Venice is needed to say - I love you! :)

The most of the time we were just walking around enjoying not only the center but also more quiet places to catch the real spirit of Venice.

A little bit exhausting especially in the big heat but sure worth it. And inspiring! Mmm.. all those color combinations, water on every corner and freedom hidden here and there.

During our two day stay in Venice we met an Etsian (but that's another story that will be written) and thanks to some nice advice we tried fantastic food:

I had pasta with shrimps while Didzis.. well, he tried something interesting.

Though looks nasty Squid Ink pasta really tastes good! :)

Our journey afterwards led to many other countries. Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Lithuania and finally Latvia. So many kilometers on foot, by car, train, bus and hitch-hiking..

My graduation is well celebrated and this whole trip has given me a creative boost so new crochet beauties are soon to be listed in my shop..

Pa pa!

Master's degree in Pharmacy

2010-06-20T13:36:00.008+03:00

Yap! Master's degree in Pharmacy is finally in my pocket!

Five tough years of hard studies and it is done. It's funny how I still managed to run my little shop while being so busy with my studies but I guess it was something that was needed for my hands and for my soul. I just couldn't resist to crochet or knit something even during exam sessions! :D

Now I am sitting in my room full with flowers given by my family and friends in my Big day. Mmm.. wonderful! And pictures from that day are so amazing! Thanks to my personal photographer! And a big thank you also goes to Yongs for the beautiful dress I had that day.

We made a little trade and I was a bit worried that my dress might not come in time because of all that volcano dust in the sky from Island but I received it in time and I looked dreamy beautiful that day!

I also made intense green crochet bead necklace and earrings matching the dress and although I don't like to wear self made jewelry (yes, I know - I am weird) I was astonished how beautiful they went together! :)

Tomorrow I am leaving for a little Euro-trip for about 2 weeks to celebrate my graduation and that is why I am putting my shop for a little vacation. Mmm.. Venice, Italy - here we come!!!

Pa pa!

Fair of folk applied arts in Open-Air Museum, Latvia

2010-06-19T21:21:00.001+03:00

It is known that sometimes even the biggest travelers who know so much about foreign countries know so little about their own homeland. I am not saying that I am the case but I must admit - I had never been in Open-Air Museum until one early morning I finally went there on a very special day.

Open-Air Museum is a museum a bit out of Riga center. In this place you can explore how Latvians lived in the 18th century and it is quite impressive because it's a very big territory near Juglas lake with all the old houses, even a windmill etc. A really nice place in the nature where to spend a very nice summer day .

This special day was when fair of folk applied arts was held there. It is an annual event and this year I also took a part with my cherries thanks to Didzis grandmother who is a weaver and asked me to come along. Our little space in the huge fair territory you can see here:

Oh, it was full of artisans and artists and what is the most interesting thing - most of the products selling where ethnographic - made in old techniques and traditions.

Like for example this old lady selling woven blankets and also dressed in a national costume. On the left you can also see the Lielvarde belt.

Different kind of pottery are must-be products in a fair and also this year you could choose from the most beautiful..

I fell in love with this black pottery made by Ingrīda Žagata. I even bought a little jug for my every morning tea. :) More about her work you can find here.

Pottery isn't just about the dishes. These frogs are quite good examples for that:

And wooden spoons.. Mmm.. Love them! They were tempting me to make some cakes etc.

It's impossible to show everything I saw that day.
Inspiring. Ethnic. Something our - Latvian. That's what characterizes this wonderful day.
Hope you caught some inspiration as well. :)

'I met an Etsian'. roxkitty

2010-06-14T21:48:00.003+03:00

One day Didzis said to me - I have a conference in Prague in the first weekend of May, want to come with me? Of course I said 'yes' and thanks to this here goes another story how 'I met and Etsian'.

While Didzis was learning his super scientific stuff I had to find something how to entertain myself. Of course sightseeing in Prague was an obvious thing to do so as I needed a guide I looked in Etsy for some shops from Prague and found roxkitty.

Amanda Teo is the girl behind roxkitty and what she sells are cute doll dresses.

Joy Joy Dress In Green:

Blythe Dress In Love With Turquoise:

We met in the very center of Prague near the Silhouette statue of St. Wenceslas which is the most popular meeting place in Prague. The weather was very nice so I really enjoyed that day.

Amanda originally comes from Malaysia but since 2006 she lives and works in Prague. She is an IT consultant and sewing dresses for dolls is her free time hobby. As she said herself she is like crazy for fancy and cute fabrics so every time she stops by in some fabric shop she just have to buy something and afterwards so that she wouldn't feel so guilty for spending so much money she is 'forced' (in a good meaning) to make some new dresses for dolls. :)

From the very beginning Amanda was so friendly and nice to me that the day just flew! We walked everywhere where was something worth to see and I really liked Prague. I was a bit annoyed by so many tourists but in the very evening when the biggest part was gone it was much better.

The most impressive things to see if you are in Prague is Charles Bridge, Prague castle and St Vitus Cathedral. This is the inside of the cathedral:

Crowded by people! But somehow it wasn't that torturing as all the time I had very interesting conversations with Amanda. Mainly about Etsy, also about our personal life etc.

After these long walks we decided that we should get some lunch and Amanda offered to try some traditional Czech food and I was more then willing to do that! So we went to some local restaurant and we ordered Svíčkova:

It is a marinated beef meat served with sauce, dumplings (made of bread), whipped cream and cranberry jam as a topping. At first I was a bit shocked. I was confused - is it a main meal or a desert? But as i started to eat I enjoyed it. Also the whipped cream.. somehow it did go very well together with the meat and dumplings. Oh, I would sure like to taste it one more time! :)

As I said - the day flew and it was enjoyed. Thank you Amanda a lot for that day and I hope we will meet again! :)

Latvian girls go crazy for JABOT

2010-06-10T20:12:00.000+03:00

'Jabot is a ruffle on the front of a woman's blouse or a man's shirt' - that's what my dictionary says.

Few years ago I wouldn't believe that jabot is gonna be popular again and what do you know.. it seems it IS slowly becoming such :)
So I decided to make a little surfing in Etsy and big was my surprise when I found that there where so many handmade jabot made by Latvian girls. Yeij, I would say but at the same time I am curious - why? What's up Latvian ladies?

Here is what aiaiai has to say about it:
"In my opinion - jabot is a very stylish and cool non-traditional accessory and it has a charm of past times! All new is a well forgotten old :) Felted jabot is not only good looking but warm as well :) and I love the practical side of each thing :) :)"
And here is one of her Felted jabot:

Picotee is another talented Latvian artist and here is her Linen Lace Jabot:

Switching to non-Latvian shops here is a beautiful and unique La Belle Epouque jabot by TianaCHE:

And the last one I will show you is this Venetian Lace collar found in labellefairy's shop:

Indeed stylish. My fingers start to itch willing to make one myself. And how about you? :)

Silence is over

2010-06-09T21:30:00.009+03:00

At least for some time.. :D
Oh, you must forgive me and I know you will 'cause I have a very good excuse not writing here for such a long time.

You can congratulate me! I have passed my two big final exams and in a few days I will hold in my hands my diploma. Master's degree in Pharmacy. Phuu.. finally! It was tough but worth it. I really appreciate the knowledge I have gained and friends I have now. :)

Before I started to write this post, I changed a bit my blog layout and I love the result! You might not see the difference and that's even the best! :)
---
I have a few stories to tell.

Had a crazy trip to Prague, Czech republic where I again met some Etsian.

I have carried out some new ideas so I hope I will have a good photo-shoot tomorrow so that you can see them.

And I made a fantastic trade on Etsy and I have already received my part. And again - wait for the photos.

But within this post I would also like to share one movie I watched recently. It is called Little Robbers and it's a story about a family who have financial problems so the kids plan to rob a bank and what's the most funniest - they succeed. :) Latvian and Austrian co-product.
I am not sure will you be able to find it and watch it but here's a little glimpse in it:

Thank you a lot! She is making fun jewelry like this 'mushroom in moss' necklace:

And today I just had to catch some inspirations so I watched this movie called 'He's Just Not That Into You' and I really did cried. So.. watch it if you're into some easy watching movie and feeling a little bit sad and lonely and wishing to analyze relationships a bit!

Latvian Etsy team

2010-03-30T21:24:00.010+03:00

Along with the nature also Latvian Etsy team is slowly waking up from the long, long winter's sleep. It was so quiet in our blog.. But now it is filling with new stories etc.

Remember, I met Rasa from happyment awhile ago and then she mentioned an idea that Latvian Etsy team should also make some little challenge similarly as European Etsy team does every weak.

The idea is to create something specially for this challenge and every time it has a different theme. The first Latvian challenge was dedicated for the theme 'spring' and it was organized by happyment.

My entry was this 'rainbow' necklace:

The winner of this very first Latvian challenge is aiaiai with her felted jabot:

All other entries you can find here.

And what will happen now? Well, we liked this challenge a lot so we will continue! :)
Next theme is chosen by the winner aiaia and it is called..

THIS IS MADNESS!

And it truly is madness 'cause I have no slightest idea what could I make. :D
But I hope I will catch some inspiration while watching movie 'Educating Rita' from where this quotation was taken.

Wish me luck! :)

What a day! What a DAY!!!

2010-03-24T22:29:00.018+02:00

I had heard these stories.. That in one day your Etsy shop becomes noticed and suddenly sales come one by one, second after a second.

Last week was Euro week when shops from all over the Europe where shining on the Front page and everywhere else.

And I was so lucky to be featured in this post:

http://www.etsy.com/storque/spotlight/etsy-finds-across-the-pond-7513/

Big was my surprise and gratitude even more.

Not only about me I was happy.. But also for such an honour that Latvia was one of the 11 countries featured. We are not the biggest and well known European country so this fact even more warms my and most likely also other Latvian artist hearts. :)

The item featured from my shop was 'cherry necklace':

'I met an Etsian'. happyment

2010-03-14T20:58:00.010+02:00

It's been almost 2 years since I have discovered Etsy and a little bit less since I have my own shop there.

I remember the very beginning when everything seemed so new for me - Treasuries, Teams, Forums, Front Pages etc. So confusing! But as the time went on, I learnt a lot. I discovered that there are some Latvians also selling on Etsy and of course I wanted to ask some questions, advices etc. So the idea to make Latvian Team came up and when I had talked to some of the Latvian sellers our Latvian Team started to grow.

But this isn't a story about our team. This story is about the person who was the first one featuring one of my items on a Treasury which even managed to get on the Front page! This story is about the person with who I've been doing a lot of thing together for Latvian team. This story is about happyment or Rasa Spulle in her real name who I finally met in person some days ago in a sunny but cold morning.

I had caught a cold but that didn't stop me to finally go and meet Rasa! So I did go and we met. Our choice was to go to a cafe called Amelie situated in Old Riga - such a wonderful place! We both took a cup of tea (for me it was tea 'Anna' - specially for those with cold :D) and off we went to chat a bit! :)

Oh, you must know this feeling when you finally meet someone you haven't met before and had just conversations through web. In the beginning it's a bit confusing but then you just enjoy it.. :)
We talked a lot and about a lot of things. Of course mainly about Etsy but besides that it was so interesting to see the person behind happyment! :) Creative, talented Latvian girl with blonde hair and suiting blue knitted hat.

She has a wonderful blog and of course shop.

I like the lightness and minimalism in her shop. Let me show you some items..

Daisy brooch

Walk in the woods, tiny mittens pin

Sweethearts, felt mobile

Aren't they nice? :)

I really hope we will manage to see each other again.. It was a pleasure, Rasa! :)

I have a friend from India.

2010-03-11T18:10:00.012+02:00

And his name is Deepak Acharya.

A person with lots of hobbies, a person with a good heart.. as much as I can tell. :)
He wrote me some time ago giving compliments about my crochet bikinis. It was very flattering and even more when he offered to make some business with him in the nearest future.

Conversations continued till one day he offered to make a little trade with both of our products. He has a little on-line shop here, where he sells a lots of products for women. All these items are made in India and you can get them for incredibly nice price.

Our deal was to send to each other some of our products with a value of 20€. I received my package today and I think it was flying on a rocket because I got it just in 5 days!! Wow!
Sorry, Deepak, but you will have to wait a bit longer for my package.. ;)

Curious, what did I receive? Well, lets take a look:

About these I said - wow!! Lots of different shape and colour little glass earrings! Stunning! I would call them - 'for every day - new earrings'. :)

I also got 4 cotton panties and black leggings. I am satisfied with the quality.

2 nice wallets

And lots of earrings, bracelets and rings. :)

And I guess these Mickey Mouse studs are my favourites!! The are so cute!!!!

It has finally happened!!

2010-03-10T23:15:00.006+02:00

Dear friends, I have finally re-opened my shop!!
I am so excited and full of happiness!
I hope, I really hope people will like my creations. :)

Till now, there are 3 items listed.. but soon, very soon there will be some more.

cherry

snow on the grass

white

..to be beautiful for Him.. Nr. 3

2010-03-05T09:19:00.008+02:00

Another Treasury is made and a spot in the big Treasury page has been caught! :) Those who have been making treasuries in Etsy knows how hard is to catch it, right?

And this time I am continuing my treasury series ..to be beautiful for Him..
Girls, you know what am I talking about, right? Why do we dress so nicely, why do we try to look as beautiful as possible? Well, yes - there can be more then 1 reason but I think the main reason is the will to be beautiful for Him.

So enjoy! And maybe you will catch some inspiration.. ;)

..to be beautiful for Him.. Nr. 3

The Treasury you can find here.
And the featured shops are all from Latvia:
ferretheart, pumpurum,
RainbowMittens, Paperlandmarks,
LivaRutmane, aiaiai,
TijaViksna, krizdole,
dinapreisa, binkaminka,
consentiodesign, SmArtAnna,
craftforyou, bosiks silverfog, alatvian,

It was a big surprise when I browsed around on Etsy and found so many Latvian shops. Hurray! We have to stick together and hopefully we will all be very friendly! Cheers!

..through the keyhole..

2010-02-28T20:03:00.006+02:00

Take a little look what I've been doing this afternoon.
Yap, just standing and posing.. and dressing over.. :D
And Didzis just repeating - move a halfstep to the right!, head higher!, what's wrong with your right arm? etc.
But I like the outcome. Tomorrow we will continue.. so.. wish us luck!

Necklace - White bubbles. :)

Trying to step in in Technorati..

Fun, isn't it? :)

brooches for my colleges

2010-01-30T21:03:00.004+02:00

8 more days and I will be leaving Netherlands. I have spent a fantastic time here in Haarlem and my internship in the Meerwijk pharmacy was truly valuable.

I was quite busy there - working 5 days a week and of course I also had to find some time to travel a bit and see more of the beautiful Netherlands. And it all resulted in lack of time for my creations..

But I do hope that when I'll be back in Latvia, I will have some more free time for that and who knows.. maybe in the nearest time, I will re-open my shop.

Till then.. I made some beautiful flower brooches for my colleges in the pharmacy to thank them for their hospitality and guidance. I sure hope that they will wear them and remember me - smiling and laughing Alise.

There is a saying..

2010-01-25T20:59:00.005+02:00

.. 'if the winter is very cold, summer will be very hot'.

I sure hope it will be so! :)

I like winter and this year it is very, very beautiful..

But I do look at the winter sun and dream about warm summer sun. :)

new treasury 'Fly, my lovely butterfly'

2010-01-24T20:28:00.002+02:00

In this time I wanted to support shops who have opened just recently or for some reason don't have any sales jet. So I did a bit of pouncing discovering undiscovered shops and here is the result:

2010-01-19T20:55:00.016+02:00

These pictures..
Inspires.
Puts a smile on my face. :)
So I decided to share them with you..

Wolve's New Wool Scarf by LaTouchables

LaTouchables or Dawn in her real name is an Etsian to whom I fallow recently a lot. Her work and background story really inspires!
I love natural materials myself and the way how she uses them in her own vintage/retro style is just fantastic!

***
Cable Knit Mug Cozy - Pumpkin Spice by waysideviolet

This picture I noticed when it was featured on the front page of Etsy. I and Didzis have been looking for good picture examples to get some inspiration before re-opening my shop and this picture seems to have everything! It is just perfect!!
I think I would rather buy the print of this picture then the item. :) No offence, Jessica! ;)

***
Metallic Silver Metal Butterfly by merritthyde

And this butterfly is just something I would like to have someday.
'Cause I love metal accessories. 'Cause I like butterflies. 'Cause I like the colour of this butterfly.
Picture is minimalistic but showing everything needed. :)

Good job, girls! And keep on inspiring the rest of the world! :)

Let me introduce..

2010-01-16T23:00:00.006+02:00

Let me introduce you to a one special person for me.

Didzis.

You will read his name here in this blog time in time. ;)

He is my personal photographer and a soulmate for ever.

From now on he will play a big role in my creative world and I have this very nice feeling that we will collaborate very nicely and wonderful outcomes can be waited. ;)

My first 'I met an Etsian'. Lunaticart

2009-12-25T16:18:00.016+02:00

I went to Paris to meet one special person. And together with this special person I met other wonderful people.

Confused? :)

Here, I will give you some explanations.. ;)

'one special person' is my soulmate/boyfriend Didzis. He went to France one week before me as he had a scientific project in a city called Clermont - Ferrand. And after fighting with a fog in a closed laboratory he went to Paris to catch up with me..

About 'other wonderful people' you will read in this article. Just continue to read..

***

From the first days I found Etsy, one Etsian fell into my heart with her fantastic pieces of jewelry. Lunaticart or Bere is the one I am talking about.. And before I started to make plans for Paris I read an article in her blog in which she says she has opened a new studio in Paris..

Mmm.. those pictures! I couldn't resist and asked if I can come on an excursion one day. The answer was 'yes!' but who thought that I will really do so?!

Visiting Lunaticart became a very obvious thing to do when we made our plans for our trip to Paris. And even more. What started just as plan visiting her studio ended up as being also hosted by lovely Bere.

Of course I couldn't resist to buy something from Beres creations.. and my picks were these:

Super Nebulous earrings and Traveller band. I love them! :))

We spent amazingly nice days in Paris. Mm.. wonderful memories still lingers in my mind and makes a smile not to fade away and write these notes..

So.. here we are. Two travellers in Love:

Together with our hosts - Beri and her lovely son Teva:

Meeting another Etsian gave me such a creative boost that I gave a promise to myslef. Wherever I will travel again, I will try to meet some Etsian. Because it's a fact - Etsy is known worldwide and there must be at least one Etsian in every country.
So don't be surprised if you see words 'I met an Etsian' again. I will really do my best to continue this article series.

Paris, I love you..

2009-12-25T15:18:00.006+02:00

There is a fantastic movie called 'Paris, I love you' (Paris, Je t'aime). You must see it if you haven't! :)
And maybe also because of this movie (just 'also' because there were other reasons as well) I went to Paris. To take a look if I will say the same. :)

***

As I have told you, in September the 2nd I took a plane to go to Netherlands.. I am studying pharmacy and this is my last year, so my last chance to take some internship somewhere abroad.
And now I am at home for holidays. Merry Christmas everyone, by the way. :)

During my stay there I tried to travel a bit. With some new friends gained in Netherlands and also with complete strangers from couchsurfing.com. Mostly I travelled in the borders of Netherlands so I could really explore country where I am living for more then 3 months. I have been in the biggest cities - Amsterdam, Rotterdam, in smaller ones - Utrecht, Breda, Alkmaar, Den Haag and I also went to island of Texel up in the North of Netherlands.

But then a fantastic idea came up to go to Paris! My nice boss in the pharmacy gave me few days free and off I went! To Paris!

And it wasn't just an ordinary tourism trip to Paris. My story includes story about Etsy. :)

To be continued in the next post.. ;)

Still here..

2009-11-04T23:50:00.006+02:00

.. just doing a lot of other things that are not connected with Etsy. Another experience but of course - I miss Etsy.

I guess once you have entered this site, you just can't get it out of your head. :) True.

So.. here I am in Netherlands. Rain. Lighting. And I receive news that my Treasurie has made it to the FP!! And it warms my heart so nicely.. :) Thank you Etsy.

So here it is:

..to be beautiful for Him.. Nr.2

Quoting myself from the Treasurie's description:
"Once I already had a beautiful treasury with a name ..to be beautiful for Him.. and it even got to the FP.. :) Thank you Etsy for that. Bet then it was just dedicated for someone out there..

And now.. Now it is dedicated for someone special. For Him. :))"

And the winner is..

2009-08-04T19:03:00.002+03:00

Into the Wild

2009-07-28T19:08:00.000+03:00

Hey all!

In this weekend I had a chance to participate in the open air market. Despite the fact I sold just one pair of earrings I really enjoyed my time spent there. Firstly, I had a good company (my good friend Liene and her boyfriend) and secondly this market took place at one's museum territory deep in the country side with a very beautiful nature around.. Mhmm.. See the pictures below (aren't they cute?!):As there weren't a lot of people we used our free time for other activities. Few days ago I made some cute brooches in the form of cherries and flowers and we took some pictures with them. Below you can see one of my favourites.. Isn't it cute? :D I love it!

Positivus AB festival

2009-07-22T18:45:00.000+03:00

Mmm..three wonderful days enjoying music, nature, friends and positive atmosphere. No doubt, I will go there again next year!

In Positivus you can see and do so much! For example we had wonderful beauty procedures with Madara's eco-cosmetics. It felt so gooooood!! Afterwards we could paint something and in the picture below you can see me and my friends doing it (butterfly in gold is mine).And of course music.. Mhmm! The headliners were our Latvian band Brainstorm, Moby, Sinead O'Conor, The Tiger Lillies, The Whip and others..
But my favourite and Nr. 1 is "Sons of Noel and Adrian" from UK. I was just standing and catching every note made by their instruments - Love them!! Take a look:

the Rain

2009-07-15T19:38:00.000+03:00

One late evening I was sitting at my PC when suddenly I was caught by the noise coming from outside. I opened my window and I was knocked out by the freshness of the Rain. Memories from that evening still lingers in my mind and somehow they transformed into a nice Treasury..

..don't stop the rain..

2009-06-27T14:20:00.000+03:00

There is a girl I know who dresses only in Pink. Her name is Keily.

She is my regular client and I have made really beautiful crochet clothings for her. Of course - in pink.. :)

And it is very lovely that my word is spreading further as her friend just recently ordered a pink bikini from me - similar to the one I made to Keily. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of clothings made before.. That is why I took some photos of this friends bikini for you to show what can Xau Xau do!

Soo.. this is the top part. Bikini cups are decorated with nice triangle and flowers.

And this is the bottom part. You can see the front and back side of it. These are strings and it is very lovely that the back is also decorated with triangle to make it a bit more playful.. ;)

After a loooong time I made some Treasury..
