Fun

Do you know Gravil?

Do you know Gravil?

There is this new software called Gravit Designer. It is a browser-based app for vector illustration and UI design. I am testing it from time to time, for it is still under development, but looks very handy and promising.

Here is their logo (I do not know the author?):

At one point last year, while fooling around with the logo of Gravit and trying to do something fun with it (for the sole purpose of fun), this happened:

Gravit friendly fish

…and then it changed and evolved into that:

And here is the GIF version:

The team behind Gravit liked this second little fellow enough to call it Gravil and choose it for their official mascot. So I am quite proud with the progress of this little baby. Gravil even made it to new York city in life-size version! :-) Wish him luck!

Oh, and I strongly recommend you to try Gravit Designer — you will enjoy its features and the ease with which it can be used. :-)

No Friday Bunny today – we are changing the apartment and the moving out is processing. :)

For a small compensation I suggest you to watch one episode of my favorite cartoon from childhood:

The music is very catchy, I warned you! ;-)

Friday Bunny – THE ultimate toy!

Here it is one unexpected Friday Bunny!

But it is great, isn’t it? Even if not made by me, but by IKEA.

Thanks for the good friends who made me this wonderful gift!

Here, there is a short video that shows the Bunny in it’s full glory:

Christmas cookies and other things

The cookies this year (thanks to two of my best friends that helped me a lot):

Two of the cookie cutters seemed perfect for making some pigs 9and one with a banjo, of course!):

Then I wanted to sew something and that’s what happened:

And I guess all this was just not enough, so I’ve made some felted little things and added them to every present:

I hope that everyone of you is having happy holidays. I did what I could. :-)

Dueling banjo pigs (again… and again… and again)

Remember the dueling banjo pigs that I mentioned recently?

Many people already caught this disease, but my case seems to be very bad. Or it’s not a disease, despite being contagious – it’s more likely a way to deal with stress, which I have a lot, don’t let me say on a permanent basis. Nixo and Michel are contributing to the project, too.

I will show you here the last picture of mine, which I like the most:

Banjo pigs

Here you can see all of my pigs (16 so far) and don’t forget to check the link from time to time. There’s no doubt that this number will grow. ;-)

White chair redesign project

In the beginning, this charming little chair was not at all very appealing.
It was old, scratchy, dirty and lonely.

This kind of “projects” attract many assistants by the old principle of “Tom Sawyer and the fence”.

White chair project

Some white paint, decoupage glue, nice paper serviettes motives and enthusiasm and that’s the result:

I kinda like it, even if it is far from perfect.

It was fun to make and it makes me smile when I look at it now.

Probably every house can make a good use of one of these. It’s comfy when you are putting on your shoes, you could use it to reach most of the shelves at home, and it’s priceless if you have children to play with it.

Some more light, please!

Me and my husband just love the lights of candles. Therefore our home is full of candlesticks of all kinds, but it seems there is never enough of them, so I’ve made some more from jars:

It’s easy to do them even without being a decoupage-guru. All you need is a jar, paper napkin with nice design, some C-200 glue and some free time.
