Hi, everyone! Happy Monday! Last Monday I was totally absent, without posting all day (we all know why), but here I am now, on a rainy Serbian Monday with another Serbian craftsperson. This time is somebody very VERY special – my mother-in-law, Nina! Not only she’s a wonderful person, she is also an avid lover of embroidery. She’s doing this every single minute of her free time! Every single! I’ve never seen before a person loving so much a hobby. Her collection is very impressive, she’s embroidering monogrammed letters, pillow cases, kitchen towels, wall art and even a wedding dress (a lovely white wedding dress, with black and silver embroidery she worked on for an exhibition). I could speak about her works forever, instead please visit her site, NinaMihajlovic.com, to see all her collection, now please take a look at what I highlighted for this post:

Serbian Made: Cut, Nela, cut

Hello, lovelies and happy Monday! Although when looking through the window I wouldn’t say it’s very happy, it’s raining, cold and feels like fall! And it’s been like this last two days! On the bright side of this day, it’s Serbian Monday today, which already became a tradition. My today’s favorite find is a wonderful lady who has amazing cutting skills and if I wouldn’t know she did it herself, I’d never believe this is possible. So people, please meet Nela from Cut, Nela, cut and that’s what she says: ” I am a home-staying mom of an 8 years-old boy and a freelance translator for Spanish language, I am also passionate crafter. While ago I discovered paper cutting and I believe that I found my magical cure for everyday stress. It’s a tranquilizer that brings me back to life and fulfills my need to express myself.”. I really hope you’ll like what I found for you today, because seriously, Nela’s work is very impressing and new to me, which makes me admire her even more! But besides paper cutting, Nela is doing crochet and you should see those sweet things she’s creating, they’re gorgeous! Thank you, Nela, for sharing your work with us!

P.S. Please visit her blog and Flickr for more eye-candy!

Serbian Made: Little Glory

Good morning, lovelies! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good, with Belgrade shopping night on Friday (which I call already weekend) and a sweet friend’s birthday party yesterday. Now I’m excited about a new week and things to share you, my dears! Today is Monday and as my husband called it – it’s Serbian Monday (sounds good) and it means I will feature one more Serbian person who’s making handmade things. This time is about a very talented and sweet lady making jewelry, named Little Glory (nickname, real name – Slavica)! Prepare yourself for a dose of amazing stuff, I mean it! Hew jewelry is handmade from polymer clay, accessorized with decorative wires and stones. Wondering what is she making? Earrings, rings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets and brooches – people, she is amazingly artful and skilled! We, girls, know what is jewelry for us, so imagine myself choosing pictures of Slavica’s work for my article – I was dying to have *every.single.piece* – I totally fell in love and I invite you now to see the beauty (a small part of it) made by Little Glory!

Serbian Made: OGGY Design Studio

I’m so excited to announce a new (huge!) category on CreamyLife called Serbian Made. Living for some time in Belgrade, Serbia, I was lucky to be introduced to lots of creative and talented people who love crafting and creating just beautiful handmade items! You know what I was saying about handmade and that’s when I got the idea to show to the world Serbian crafters and their great work! Every week I’ll be featuring one Serbian crafter, so every Monday you can stop by for another inspiring post full of local handmade stuff!

The first blogger and craft-woman I’ll write about is Olgica of OGGY Design who is making so so many beautiful things such as: decorative boxes from vintage wallpaper, shabby clocks, vases, candles and candle holders, jewelry and much much more! She was the first blogger (that is also a passionate crafter from Serbia) I spotted on the Internet and I must admit, I totally fell in love with her style and everything she makes. Here are some things, but don’t forget to head to her blog to see more:
