a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

So much baking to do, so little time...Toliko kolača za ispeći, a tako malo vremena...

Christmas...so little time, so many possibilities....so little time, so many ways to express your creativity. Božično vrijeme...tako malo vremena, tako puno mogućnosti...toliko načina za izraziti svoju  kreativnost.

No, I haven't decorated the Christmas tree yet (you're looking at last year photos). However, I have made a lot of home made decorations this year. I do hope I will have the chance to show them to you soon. What about you? Are you feeling the holiday spirit or are you starting to feel nervous because all of the things on the "to do" list? I have to admit I'm starting to feel nervous which is a shame because really shouldn't holidays be there for us to relax? Ne, nisam još okitila bor (ovo su prošlogodišnje fotke.) No, napravila sam ove godine puno božičnih ukrasa i nadam se da ću imati priliku podijeliti ih sa vama. Jeste li se vi uživjeli u duh blagdana? Ili ste možda (kao ja) nervozni zbog svega što još morate napraviti? To je zapravo šteta, jer bi bladani trebali biti tu da se opustimo, a mi (žene pogotovo) previše se brinemo oko toga da sve bude savršeno.

a reflection  For whatever reason (I simply wouldn't know) this place has been closed. Shortly after, vandals destroyed most of it. Is it a reflection of our society? or reflection of human nature? or the reflection of that famous law of physics (the law of entropy) that say all things tend to destruct and all order ends with disorder? Why is it takes so much effort to create something and it takes so little for all of it to disappear. I simply wouldn't know. If you look at the first photo closely you will see my reflection. It used to be my one of my favourite places to drink coffee (primarily because of the location and the view). Such a shame! Iz kojeg kod razloga ovo je mjesto zatvoreno (pitanje koncesije plaže, poreza stvarno ne bi znala.) Nedugo nakon vandali su uništili većinu toga. Odraz našeg društva? Odraz ljudske prirode? Odraz poznatog zakona fizike (zakona entropija) koji kaže da sve stvari teže raspadanju i da red uvijek završava neredom? Zašto je tako teško...

What inspired me to make this necklace? What inspired me to make this necklace was a post by  +The Dainty Dolls House  in which she wrote about a young women named Lauren who has died aged 25 because of heart problems. When the doctors told Lauren that her condition was very serious, she started this amazing 100 heartbeats project....    Što me nadahnulo za ovu ogrlicu? Post blogerice Dandy Doll House u kojem je pisala o hrabroj mladoj ženi koja je umrla u 25 godini života zbog srčanih problema. Prije smrti Lauren je pokrenula projekt 100 otkucaja srca, ljepila je medaljone u obliku srca na svoja omiljena mjesta, stvarajući dirljiv vizualni dnevnik. Umrla je 97 dana svoga projekta, a njen muž ga je dovršio. Ja sam ovu ogrlicu napravila kao način sudjelovanja u dizanju svijesti o srčanim bolestima, a ako vas zanima više o njoj na kraju posta možete pronaći adrese njena dva bloga kao i adresu bloga na kojem je pokrenut projekt njoj u čast.
