Relax.....

Stress is a vicious killer that sneaks up on you when you and it might be toooooooooooo late if you don;t step back and RELAX!

My way of stepping back are simple....

A day at a spa, 

Even if you don't go to a spa you can create a great spa atmosphere at home, with a few candles, a relaxing bath, calming music and a glass of wine! 

Give it a try ... you will feel amazing! 

Another tip is to dive into a great movie or book and leave the world behind for a while! 

Some people cook or bake to relax.... for me it;s not working. But what is working is working for me is to dive and sink deep into my lace creations....

I loose track of time and a peace comes over me..... specially creating original designs with my roots in mind Romanian Point Lace

Each stitch takes me back to simple Romania, simple roots, and relaxing way of life.

Working in silence and connecting to the past with a sense of remembering that tradition and work put into a piece that has been past on from generation to generation. 

It is relaxing to know that you can create something with your hands and pass  on.... so be creative! It will relax you and your mind! 

XOXO, 

Lorena

It's may already and the weather goes crazy here in Australia... rain galore and finally it feels like fall! 

A cup of hot tea and a soup.... that is what I am having at the moment! Last week cold drinks and ice cubes! 

This is an exiting month.... we finished up a funky bold fashion photo shoot with the help of a gorgeous lady from Ninique Photography

Charlotte wears Chanel.....

With Easter just finishing up it's back to reality and the fast paced life is catching up with me. I have been busy with projects on Romanian Point Lace... working on a new Collection - Avis Australis inspired by the beautiful colourful and cute birds of Australia.

Now it;s time to share the latest collaboration with a fabulous blogger , a true fashionista that knows her style how to embrace fashion and loves the house of Chanel. 

Please check out her fabulous blog  and follow on Instagram

So if you ever wondered what to wear, or how to put outfits together I think it;s a great idea to have a close look on her Pinterest as well! 

Since Charlotte loves Chanel, ( I mean who does not?!!!) 

If you want to be illustrated in your favourite fashion  brand, feel free to contact me! 

XOXO,

My lace travels the world....

Everything starts with some thread.....and idea and some inspiration based on Romanian Point Lace

Every single piece I create is a unique item and has an original design and is produced Down Under in sunny Queensland , Brisbane. 

Once it's online and people like it it goes around the world. 

From Australia to the UK, to Austria and more.....

XOXO, 

Lorena 

PS: Stay tuned for a new collection inspired by Australia! 

Weaving Embroidery and so much more....

Teaching ..... a word that was never close to me..... I never wanted to be a teacher or anything near this profession... 

Since I started to teach Romanian Point Lace and Embroidery as well as Crochet I find it very rewarding to see what your student design and what they create using the skills you gave them. 

Let me show you some funky examples! 

XOXO, 

Lorena 

In the news....

Last week I have been lucky enough to be interviewed by the Sunday Mail. 

A great Sunday Newspaper here in sunny Brisbane. 

I was talking to a very lovely lady and she started to ask me about my Romanian Point Lace Designs 

They send a lovely photographer over Marc Calleja to take some shots of my designs and a few days later the article was ready for the print. 

One of the first pieces that I did using this technique, was the Australia Map. I designed each state flower and laced it. 

I want to thank everybody who made my interview possible! 

Carpe Diem
