Can you believe that 2024 is already 9 days in…? Yes, indeed! I don’t know about you, but to me some days it still feels like I am in 2023!
I hope you set a few goals for this year! I sure did! I was sending the first newsletter of the year and so far it went well!
So here are my goals for this year!
– Monthly newsletters talking about each part of my work: Romanian Lace, Art, and Reiki.
-Get my little one sorted for Kindy and my bigger one for the next class.
– Monthly new projects when it comes to lace, and at least one tutorial pattern out via YouTube or in the store!
– Larger Distance Reiki classes so more people can benefit from it!
– Finding a part-time job! After so many years at home with the kids, it’s time for me time a bit when it comes to work! I kinda miss it a bit! If you have any tips, suggestions, or ideas, about what would suit me and in my area, get in touch! I would love to work in an art gallery! I love art, but you guys know that, or even a museum… I love history!
Now let’s talk about important dates for this month, starting with tomorrow!
The Dark Moon is tomorrow January 10th – Here no moon is visible but it’s still very powerful and full of energy. A good time to ask for peace and to recharge ( Check my IG HERE)
After that, we have The New Moon on January 11th a great way to start the new year with positive energy.
The last important day for January is the Full Moon on January 26th. 2024. If you follow me regarding Reiki you know what to do on a full moon- charge your crystals and make moon water!
Now that you know the important dates of this month you can set your future goals around these moon phases. I would suggest, the New Moon or Full Moon!

Are you ready to point lace decor for Halloween? I have been creating for a while ago Halloween patterns.
My little girl is Halloween crazy and so every year, we try something fun out. From crazy costumes to accessories and home decor.
This year she will be Wednesdays from the Addams Family…and so we play with collars and hangman’s ropes….But the classic ghost is still a must, so here is a pattern available.
I remember when she picked the color combo…. an exciting time, coz she got to help out. I did a classic design First and then we went wild…
What do you prefer? Truly, I can’t make up my mind…
Also when it comes to Halloween, I like to add leaves, and here is one motive that turned out ok. To make it more interesting, I created a combo of crochet and Romanian Lace.
You can find the pattern in the store or on Etsy store HERE. Let me know, what would you like to create, a ghost or a leaf.
Also if you like to be updated with specific news from us, you can pick between Romanian Lace, Art or Reiki. Check out Bottom of page!
Have you ever asked yourself what attacks you to a colour? Me, always and every time it;s a different answer! Now I always liked Purple.
Not any kind of purple….. a dark deep, velvety purple…. and a touch of black….. I love purple and been always attracted to agate and amethyst. Purple Agate is one stone that I use on the regular in my designs. It calm the wearer, it hold on to good energy and creates a wonderful save environment for the one who wears it.
A reminder that I love Lavender, that I love creativity, luxury and royalty a colour that is a great representative for peace, dignity and mystery as well as magic, this is purple to me. It also represents the Crown Chakra ( head Chakra) it shows your connection to the universe and spiritual part in you. It;s your connection to creativity
How does purple make you feel? It makes me feel great. It makes me smile and creative. But how does black make you feel like?Elegant, classic, minimalist and timeless. This is how it makes me feel.
I also want to you check out the video below. Guo Pei a fantastic Haute Couture designer…. She is amazing. Almost all her designs remind me of Romanian Lace and this last collection was exceptional. The
Isn’t her style amazing? The inspiration of the dark ages architectural design is stunning. The structure is fantastic and is so detailed. We lace makers can easy get inspired and create stunning Romanian Point Lace.

Well, August is gone, can you believe it? Yup, me neither! But well a new month is waiting to be lived, conquered and discovered. I love September Down Under. It;s great, we start Spring and it;s not melting hot, where the wind is your great buddy! Very pleasant… Living in Brisbane is fabulous. Not toooo hot and not to cold….. But still when I think about September, I think of how September is in Europe. I grew up there so I guess it comes natural , a no brainer!
You are asking what September will bring when it comes to Romanian Lace, well a lot…. but to start the month easy, please check out the images below where you can see that Romanian Point Lace is actually not forgotten or rediscovered in the fashion world.
