Tuesday Tutorials on a Wednesday....

I had a very busy day yesterday and was not able to get a tutorial going but better late than never I say! Since I am not the only one who does 'Tuesday Tutorials' I thought it would be fun to google the term and see what comes up. Here are the top three:

1. Indie Fixx by Jen Wallace- I really love the layout and her posts! This 'Tuesday Tutorial' about printables is just adorable: http://indiefixx.com/category/tuesday-tutorial/
2. Melly & Me: Fun Fabulous Design by Rosalie Quinlan and Melanie Hurlston- These sisters have a 'Tips & Tricks: Tuesday Tutorial' series that has some excellent tips of all kinds! Great sewing trips, beautiful design!
3. Ali Edwards has some great scrapbooking tutorials for their 'Tuesday Tutorial' series and they are very informative. 

I really enjoy seeing what others are doing and with Christmas not far off getting ideas and sharing them is a plus! Here are a few of my Christmas tutorial favorites from around the web:

I can't wait to share my own tutorials for Christmas with you guys soon! It's going to be awesome! Have a great Wednesday!

Cheers!

♦Monday Musings♦: Creativity in a gioielleria...

☼Morning all!☼

I woke up early today to do my Zumba workout with my sister-in-law and am feeling so chipper! Wouldn't you if you were able to get up early and get the day going on time? While preparing things for breakfast I started to watch RomaUNO TV one of my favorite channels from Italia and saw the coverage of the opening of a new boutique in Rome of this gorgeous jewelry store called: amore & baci.

This is no ordinary jewelry store though, it is a creative place where one can select beads to make a personalized set. Their beads and things are gorgeous! For the creative soul this is a great place. Just look at these beauties:

You can visit the site in either Italian or English but isn't it gorgeous? They are truly magnifico! Io li amo!

Cheers!

Fantastic Friday: Those Lovely Swedes!

So today on facebook, just for fun, I took this Which EU capital should you live in? quiz and got Stockholm, Sweden which is just a fantastic place! So I decided to check out what Sweden has to offer and found this amazing shopping centre called the PUB and within it's stores there is this amazing brand called Tiger of Sweden. And oh what a shop it is! Just check these wonderful numbers out:

my first favorite: JENNY DRESS

another beauty: ABELA DRESS

Another wonderful boutique: GANT. I think I love Sweden and could live there! Here are some of the great finds from this boutique:

Loving this shirt: RUFFLE DOBBY BLOUSE

I adore this little dress: WRINKLE DRESS KLANNINGAR

Among the boutiques is one called happycolor and it truly is quite colorful. Here are a few pieces that caught my eye:

Aren't those Swedes lovely? I think so!
