DIY: The Coolest Rope Necklace

I was planing to make a necklace using rope for a long time and a few days ago I found the perfect rope in a hardware store (A short digression: I can spend hours in a hardware store wandering around and buying stuff "I will need sometime for something. Maybe").

If you're in love with my latest necklace as much as I am and would like to have the same, I captured every step of the process for you.

DIY: Personalized World Map For All Travel Lovers!

We are back from holidays and already planning which country and continent to visit next year. 

If you are crazy about traveling as much as we are, you will like the center piece in our living room: a huge (1.10m x 1.50m) handmade world map. The catch: we have pinned all the cities we have already visited with big pins and all the places we are planning to visit in the future with smaller pins.

 It is the most demanding piece of art I have made so far but I am so happy that I didn't give up until it was just as I imagined it.

If you want to make something similar, here is every step of the process (spread over a few weeks!):

We'll be back in a month!

Dear readers,

It's time to take some vacation and for this year we planned something special: a one-month trip to Asia! After we return we will post a DIY tutorial for all of you who are crazy about traveling as much as we are.

Until then, enjoy the summer:)

Love,
Emina and Nerma Pin It Now!

FINAL RESULTS of Emina's Workshop on Statement necklaces!

Remember that I held a workshop on statement necklaces last month? I met the girls again afterwards for a second session and while not all of them had the time (and it takes a loooot of time!) to finish their pieces, I can finally present to you some of the finished beautiful and unique necklaces.
 
First of all, here is a group picture in which I am wearing my first handmade necklace.

DIY: How I Met Your Mother T-Shirt Adjusted

By now you should all know that I am a big fan of How I Met Your Mother and in particularly Barney Stinson (at least the Barney that he used to be in the first seasons). This is why I just had to order this funny statement t-shirt when I saw it on Amazon. 

But when it finally arrived I felt as if there is something missing. I didn't like the sleeves and it just needed my very own personal touch. I think that my little adjustments really made a huge difference.

Recipe: Banana dipped in chocolate. Yummy!

The easiest way to refresh your guests on a hot summer day and it takes you less than half an hour.

Dip banana in melted chocolate and top with whatever you love and/or have around in your kitchen. I prefer toasted almond:) Don't forget to serve it with ice cream and flowers, for an extra pop of color and summer feeling! 

Now you only need a cozy spot in your garden, on the balcony, anywhere outdoors:)

Yes, I love summer:)

Emina's Very First Workshop on Statement Necklaces

I am so excited: Yesterday I held a workshop on how to make a statement necklace for fellow (female) trainees in the European Commission!

The girls and me really had fun and, as it is very time-consuming, we didn't finish the necklaces in our first session. Therefore, here is an overview of the first (very productive) day. We will meet next week again and then I will present you the final result of our creative and hard work:)
