The sun won't shine till the clouds are gone

What's your favorite cloud formation? Mine is cumulus of course although I also love, wispy, feathery cirrus.

After 10 months  I finally got around to making the Cloud +Raindrop Mobile project from Burdastyle. It's so cute to literally have a rain  cloud hanging over your head. It makes you want to think deep, profound thoughts. When I'm feeling philosophical I usually update my photo blog.  

Let's talk about recycled crafts for a minute. What stuff do you like to recycle? I hate throwing away bottles especially green colored ones. There's something Real Simpl-ish about them and they become objects d' art when grouped together. Much so, they're even prettier when laced up with nifty Japanese contraption called the lace seal. Empty Soju and Perrier bottle never looked so pretty!
