Hello!
Have you seen the latest Philips commercials?
Their motto is " Express yourself everyday". I like that way of thinking and it inspires me.

It doesn't have to be much, but can simply be a new little thing you create everyday and there are many different ways to express yourself. Here is a list of websites that I find inspiring at the moment:

decorate.it
Hi there,
Today's post is about decorative items. In this case round decorative items that I've placed in my appartement:
This first serie of pictures shows round coasters made of felt.
As you can see I use them for different things: to place my everyday life items on or I put them together as a nice pattern to bring more colours to an otherwise neutral surface.
I like the fact that they are simple in their design and that they work as well alone than all together.

I've noticed that vinyl records and their associated players are getting popular again. This wall decoration is made of fake vinyl records made of plastic that were used to promote a music festival in 2010. I kept them and got the idea to make this wall decoration out of them.
Maybe you prefer another shape than these circles, but I hope that you still found this post inspiring
and got new creative ideas to decorate your place.

storage.it
Today's post is about notebooks and how to storage your creative ideas.
When I was in Paris last summer I bought 2 new notebooks from the brand "storage.it".
They are amazing!
They exist in many different colours - Here are the
two colours I bought.
The notesheets have lines to write on...
...but don't be afraid of filling the notebook up too quickly with your ideas - the notebook inside the cover is replacable! You might even be able to switch it out with a notebook without lines so you can draw in it instead - if you can find the right format.
The notebook's cover provides it with extra storage space in the back that you can use for businesscards or other little things you want to hang on to.
It also has space for your favorite pen!
That's how the entire cover looks like.
As you maybe have noticed the cover has a zip on the right side - yes, you can open it!
This is the feature of this notebook - you can storage things everywhere - even in the cover!
I can recommend these notebooks that really live up to their name "storage.it". They help you to keep track of your stuff and make organizing items fun.
Really great design
- Full of possibilities, has a practical format and most of all it is reusable.
I hope you found this post inspiring and got new ideas to how to storage your ideas.

Tutorial 1: domino earrings
Today's tutorial is about how to make original earrings out of Hama mini beads:
Here is what you'll need:
- Hama mini beads in black and white.
- 1 Hama mini pegboard (squared).
- tweezers (makes it much easier to handle the mini beads! )
- 2 earhooks.
- 2 o-rings 4 mm.
- combination pliers ( a must have for this tutorial! )
- baking paper.
- an iron and an ironing board.
...and requires some patience and time.
I've bought the beads at my local hobby store, but here's a link to the official webshop: http://www.hama.dk/welcome-to-a-colorful-world-of-beads/.
Squared pegboard.
Dominos under construction.
Place the black beads first and then complete with the white ones - it's the easiest way.
What to do next:
- After placing the beads on the pegboard, bring the board with the two dominos carefully to your ironing area.
- Then place a piece of baking paper on top of the pegpoard and iron the dominos with a high temperature to melt the beads together.
- Don't iron on the same spot for too long and when the dominos are sticking to the baking paper, slowly seperate the baking paper with the dominos on from the pegboard.
- If you want to be sure the beads will stay in place you can iron on the other side of the dominos aswell.
- Let them cool down for about 5 min under a heavy book to make sure that they stay flat.
- When your dominos are cold and flat, use the combination pliers to place an o-ring 4 mm on each domino and remember to put the earhooks on the rings before you close them again.
TADA..! THE RESULT:

watch.it
If you haven't seen Spielberg's Tintin movie yet, I can really recommend it!
I've seen it for the second time today and it is still as good as the first time. The intro is nicely made and the style and the way the story is put together in the movie is impressive. I grew up with the Tintin comic books and watched the cartoons on television, but you don't have to be the ultimate Tintin fan or Spielberg admirer to be amazed by this movie.
If you like to watch a movie where you can see that they really put a lot of effort into every single little detail and is able to entertain you from start to finish - then this movie is a must see!

Oh, and watch it in 3D - it's worth it!

" The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes "
- Marcel Proust
I made it. I created this blog.
A blog that is based on the idea of letting yourself do what makes you happy.
Sometimes you have to make the wrong choice before you realize what you truly want.
This is what this blog is for: to allow old ideas come to the surface and give the new ones space to grow.
Marcel Proust has a point. Often the ideas have already been there it's just a matter of being able to see them or let yourself discover them in a new way. Let it be an inspiration to you too...
