Hang On keep Believing in YourSelf

It is difficult for me to control full time job, two kids, making handmade things, blogging, Facebook page/group and online shop, but these are the things that I love. With love and passion you will able to do whatever you wish, and surely you will find that time to allocate everything.

Well my shop is in a really slow pace, but I believe that one day I will have that interest and views that I wish. If I give up now, I will sure not give a good example to my kids.

Everyone makes mistakes, who does not make mistakes,is either not human or never tried anything in life. Life can be tough sometimes, stressful, unfair, hard and loads of negative things, but the trick is to be strong and believe that you can make it. So if you wish to make something, DO IT NOW and NEVER GIVE UP!!
I am sure one day, even after years, you will be satisfied of what you achieved and  done in your life at least for that something that you actually love and not what others wish you do. If you fail try again, again and again, no problem, with every failure there is a lesson you learn, so you will keep getting strong and stronger. Hope these few words will make you more motivated in your life :)

So this is my dream online shop, still small but at least I was able to start from here

https://stickers-by-timecreations.zibbet.com/ take a look and no worries I am open to suggestions as I am still learning, if you have shops I will sure take a look too at your shops.

Here below you can find some pictures I made recently! Hope you enjoyed it and kept you a bit motivated.

Trying to use HTV vinyl for the first time

So I bought some HTV vinyl to try to make some designs. Well not an easy task as I thought.
Htv vinyl is different, and the one I bought was much different that the ones I saw on you tube..it had only two layers not three and took ages to figure out which side to cut and which side to put the iron on.

First attempt was a disaster, machine couldn't cut correctly, or could not figure out exactly how
this cuts, as is not as normal vinyl. Well managed to cut a heart, but not so neatly, but wanted to try on the shirt... First attempt another disaster...put heat on wrong side and melted everything arg!!!!!!

I am stubborn so when I want to do something, I will do it, after several attempts.So first heart cut again, this time a bit better but cutting still needs settings for deeper cuts.
I managed after three cuts and melted them AHHHHH ...lastly I managed to figure this out and made the heart shirt!!

t shirt before the heart

thirst after heart transferred

 

Take a look at my daughters Shirt much better and give us a like

Making key chains with cameo circuit

So I have loads of blank key chains and wanted to create something with the cameo circuit.
The problem is that key chains printable area, is around 1.5 inches and when cutting really small letters things can go to the wrong turn. Small letters drop out, and tried slowing speed, 2 passes, and yet still small letters drop out when peeling the vinyl.

I tried making them without any borders, leave the transparent background as it is, these are the results

I like them both, the lip one came great and was done on both sides love it.








My name one, came cool, but seems empty, and these is on sticker on background which makes the letters mirrored in the back...not neat big error. Love the idea but not great result as I imagined. You have to try to have great results, the more you make the more items will become perfect and well.

This one is the last one I made, it has 3 layers, two wording and white vinyl in the middle. Result is more full effect, nicer and brighter look.
Be careful when attaching the words, to center them correctly as it is a struggle on transparent background. Always remember to cut, one mirrored and one normal and layer them on top each other carefully. Also keep in mind that using tools on key chains can scratch it so it is a delicate process to make things perfect. Need to make it neater but the more I make the better they will be ;)

Making your home fun and cozy

After a long day at work, the only thing you want is to go home and relax at home, grab a cup of tea or coffee and relax. That is the only thing I would like to do, but in reality for me, after work,  I have loads more things to do, before I sit down and have that cup of tea quietly (always hoping as quiet in my house is impossible). Well maybe you manage to have that tea everyday, but like me I am always on the go running here and there for kids, then try to control cluttering around the house, doing laundry, cooking , dishes....list is impossible to finish till I give up and relax.




Life is getting faster and faster, which is a pity, as we are not being able to  appreciate small things,
and look at our surroundings. Having a cozy home is important, as that is our time together as a family and also important for yourself to take that break needed. Today loads of homes are being furnished with great modern furniture and accessories which can cost amounts of money. But today we are saying that small things can make a great difference to a room, and there is no need to spend too much money. Every small detail and a splash of color can make a room look totally different.

these are two plain vases, I had in my kitchen, boring and plain which made my shelves still seem empty and needed that touch. So I decided to decor them, I just made two die cut stickers ( I have the machine, but these are easily to find you can check my shop here
https://stickers-by-timecreations.zibbet.com, I can cut them personalized as you wish.

These are the result, when finished with these vases. Love them, result is great, they will last a life time, I also added varnish so I can wash them too. This makes my kitchen looks much brighter, and at the same time I have something for me to treasure, as I know that I made them myself.

You can visit  my facebook page;

www.facebook.com/timecreations, as I will be posting new projects that I will be making. By the way do forget to give me a LIKE, as from time to time I also choose randomly fans and send them cute gifts.






So look around your house carefully, and think, maybe you have a dull empty wall, or an empty shelf, or kids want something different for their room. There is a vast range of things to do while having fun doing them, you make your home more pleasant.

Cutting Die-cut stickers

These are some stickers, I made, these are all die-cut (which means there is no background), results are great on walls and cars. Loads of things in mind to do, like stencils,key chains,other mugs, glass etc.. These can decor a room without involving too much costs, as price depends on size, material and colour. 

Will also try to make things in Maltese, our language. 

As stickers tend to be made mostly in English, however I love my language so you will see ideas in Maltese too.

Car stickers are the most things I love to make, since they are small and mostly fun. This one is for windows, that,s why is mirrored, results are awesome.

It's been a while since I posted
On my blog...but this year, loads of cute items coming. Check my online shop opened recently and send me what do you think.
Will make me more motivated, to try to make new things.
