These boots are made for standing!

Problem, known: 

Boots can't stand, therefore I can't stand it, that they get cracked and that they lie around all over the place.

 This is what I do:

What do you do about it?

Any better ideas?

DIY : Key to my heart and giveaway winners

As you may have already noticed from my postings, I've been obsessed with cooking and crafting for a month or so. My friends are actually the ones to get lucky by this obsession of mine, as many of my crafts are made especially for their birthdays and namedays. 

One of my creations was the Key to My Heart keyring.

I made  two: a romantic pink and a passionate red.I just can't decide which one to keep for my keys!!! 
What do you think? 

Which one's your favourite?

 I'm totally proud of them and I have lots of variations already in my head, soon to be revealed!

If you would like to make one (or more than one, for that matter) , you will need:

two pieces of fabric (10x10cm) or one (10x20cm)
a piece of felt (10x10cm)
a key ring
a piece of ribbon or string (5cm)

 Here is the procedure:

If you try it, I'd love to see it!

 Good luck!

DIY: Earrings stand

I usually keep my earrings in boxes. Lately I've made some that are too beautiful to hide. So, I thought of this easy way to display them using a piece of wire (about 1-1,20m long). The whole process is about 5'  and your earring stand is ready!

The main concept is to start, first, by forming the base that looks like an upside down five petal flower, and then  move on with the stem and 'arms'.

I put together the steps in photos in the hope that the process will be clearer for everyone.

In the case that you try it yourselves, I'd love to see your creation!

tip 1: Use only for light earrings/ jewellry.

tip 2: Make more than one and display in groups.
