✨ More Handmade Bracelets

Warm greetings,

Here are a few more bracelets that I created recently. Each one has its own colour theme and personality. The white and silver one is my favourite.

Upcycled jewellery, green crystal bracelet

💚 A Small Piece, A Big Change

Hello,

In this post, I want to share a little about how much my life has changed over the past six months. After my mother had a stroke, I moved to a different town so I could visit her in the hospital and later in the nursing home.

It hasn’t been easy, but life continues, and summer is here.

Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time going through my mum’s belongings, as we’ve decided to sell the house. I will also have to move out permanently, so these past months have felt a bit like a treasure hunt.

🧵 Giving Things a Second Life

Among everything, I found several boxes of old, often damaged jewellery pieces, along with countless loose beads, charms, and small trinkets. I decided to give them a new life and turn them into something I could actually wear or give away.

✨ The First Piece

To start, I made a silver bracelet with green crystals. It turned out really pretty and comfortable to wear, so I’m planning to make a few more.

You can see the result in the photos below.

DIY: Winter Lanterns

Quiet holidays and glowing jars ✨

Holiday season, Christmas time.

It’s a very big, very family-oriented period in Poland—but not really my thing. I don’t celebrate, I don’t cook, and I don’t even eat much differently than usual.

What I do enjoy, though, is the quiet.

It’s one of those rare times when everything slows down and nobody expects anything from you. No interruptions, no pressure—just space to read, watch something, play a game, or simply exist in peace.

And, of course… craft.

A simple upcycle project

Today’s project is one of those “use whatever you have” kind of creations.

I made a few winter lanterns to decorate my room, using things that were already lying around:

• empty jars
• tealights
• pieces of lace and textile flowers
• some yarn
• star-shaped pasta (because why not)
• glass buttons
• and… a slightly questionable amount of glue

It’s the kind of project where there’s no strict plan—just layering textures and seeing what happens.

The result

Soft light, a bit of sparkle, a mix of materials that somehow come together into something cozy and slightly magical.

Nothing complicated, nothing perfect—just simple decorations made from ordinary things. 

I may not celebrate the holidays in the traditional way, but I do appreciate this quiet, creative version of the season.

A calm room, a small light, and something handmade—that’s more than enough ✨
