    From Café Walls to Woodland Colours

    ByRasa Pelham November 17, 2025April 11, 2026

    I didn’t plan any of this (sort of). All I really wanted after handing over the café was slower living, some breathing space, more time with the kids, doing something creative again, and a bit of life that wasn’t run on coffee orders and timers. Nothing dramatic. But part of slowing down meant I finally…

    Watercolour challenge: repeating patterns

    ByRasa Pelham October 17, 2018January 22, 2024

    This month I am doing something very exciting for my watercolour challenge. Yes, it’s patterns, my favourite art form! However it would be not very challenging if I did something I am good at already?! This is why I decided to perfect my skill of repeating patterns with some new methods.When I used to create…

    Forest in patterns

    ByRasa Pelham September 13, 2017February 19, 2024

    I have been so busy this year that I forgot when was the last time I have been creative. So no wonder when we went on holiday and walked around in the forest in Lithuania I was amazed once again how beautiful nature is! After taking detailed pictures of fern, moss, wild blueberry bushes and…

    Photography challenge: flower pattern arrangements

    ByRasa Pelham May 20, 2016March 8, 2024

    This month’s photography challenge have been the most enjoyable so far. It includes patterns and flowers, my two favourite things! Although I don’t feel like I learn anything other than what camera settings do I realised that I probably need to invest some money on lighting. Arranging patterns is something I enjoy and I believe it…

    Say it in 3D: make a pop up greeting card!

    ByRasa Pelham October 22, 2014October 20, 2025

    Let’s be honest, do you keep the greeting cards you receive for birthdays or Christmas? I don’t, although I try to reuse them in paper crafts. I know that majority of us would eventually bin them. And knowing this makes me sad :(. I don’t like the idea that we spend 2-5 pounds on the…

    Things I look forward to in October

    ByRasa Pelham September 30, 2014November 12, 2025

    October may be uneventful, but there are plenty of things to look forward to… such as autumn itself! 🙂 1. AUTUMN is a beautiful season. Look at all the colours! And it’s not only orange, brown and yellow…. I love the combinations of pink, forest green, orange and cream. And lets not forget purple! I…

    Happy 1st of September!

    ByRasa Pelham September 1, 2014January 10, 2026

    1st of September has always been an official 1st day at school in Lithuania with celebration and parades. Don’t you think that celebration is a great way to start the school? To me this was something I looked forward to, although I was never a good student (except arts and biology).  Another thing I was…
