Colour can set the mood for every room in your house. You may prefer deep, vibrant hues, or maybe lighter, softer shades, but it is always worthwhile to infuse your home with the colours that make you feel great. This doesn’t always mean that you have to move all the furniture and spend a day or two with paintbrush in hand. It can be as simple as a new pillow, some pretty coloured glassware, or a fabric wall hanging like these ones from Cores Fortes. I love the energy that comes from these bright and fun images, lovingly sewn and ready for your wall!
I love the bright colours and energy in this piece
Peaceful and soothing, it's absolutely perfect!

Cores Fortes is Portuguese for Strong Colours, and I think it suits these lovely pieces to a tee! You can see more at the Cores Fortes DaWanda shop or Etsy store.
Here’s to living with passion, strength, and colour.
Cheers!

A few weeks ago, I wrote about finding DaWanda online, and one of the shops that really caught my eye was KaysK9s from Prince Edward Island.
Kay creates incredible sculptures of animals, using a technique called needle felting. Her creations are lifelike and adorable, and she even does custom work! You can send her photos of your precious Fido (or in my case Sunshine the semi-wonder cat**), and have a gorgeous replica made to treasure forever.
This precious pooch seems to be enjoying bath time!
Not only does she make these fantastic pet sculptures, she also does incredible wildlife pieces. Check out this amazing bengal tiger!
I am blown away by the lifelike detail on this tiger. Wow!
This adorable panda looks sweet enough to snuggle.
There is also a selection of smaller items, like key chains and purse clips, so that your favorite animal can stay with you anywhere.
This meerkat makes me chuckle. Cute!
Aside from her DaWanda shop, Kay also has an Etsy shop, her own website, twitter, and a facebook page, so you can always find a way to see the latest and greatest creations!

** Sunshine was the family cat when Sarah and I were growing up… a very special kitty to be sure! Bijou is the feline queen of my current home, and is also very special.
