These are the words I received in a very beautiful meditation that involved fairies, unicorns and of course the dragons. Nothing else was said about them, the only other clue I got was a golden quill like pen/brush. I guess the message had everything to do with me being creative and healing because of it.

And this is exactly what I'd like to pass forward onto those, that think they can't possibly draw or be creative. Because it's not true at all. We can all create, we just need to make a first step towards something that feels or looks exciting to us and trust in the process. And also know, it's perfectly ok to mess up. No-one, and I mean, not a single person was born and knew immediately how to walk, talk, write, ....  We all need to learn and practice to get better at anything we do.

I know it's been a while and I can pretty much write about the same things as I did in my last post or even before that, but I won't. Looks like I'm still searching for that thing I came to do more of in this lifetime. Loads happened in between too I must admit :)

Let me do a bit of a sum up from April 1st till this last day of October.

April surprised us with a big batch of snow and prompted me to finally move forward and film my first ever Skillshare class. Yeah. I wanted to do that last year but it was too much at once and all that overwhelm needed to settle down a bit. It was still totally overwhelming in April but I took the snow and cool days as a nudge from the Universe to go and finally do it. So I did. It was soooo hard but at the end of editing my movies I had glimpses of enjoying it too. It was an amazing feeling when I finally posted it and seeing people actually watching my class - indescribable and totally super precious. 

Winter in a Cup - doesn't have many students nor projects posted but I'm hoping it picks them up now that we are entering in real winter time on this side of the globe.

May saw me find the first ever chicken of the forest mushroom but I chickened out to actually pick them and try them out. I haven't seen them since. Looks like somebody found them and foraged them. Oh well. I know now :) It was also time for many beautiful walks and a friend of mine sent me the perfect surprise via snail mail. 

The biggest surprise that May brought was me winning first prize in Ex Tempore Bled 2020 as we were finally able to bring in our works from last year. What a surprise! I was over the moon about this as I won't lie, it was a dream come true. I hope the company that received my super detailed spiral-y work is happy to have it :)

June has always been one of the best months for me. I don't know what happened this year - I think it was sheer expectation of it being so, so I now have nothing to report from it

July was very much different though. We had a lovely hike after a really long time. Took L to Ratitovec and had The perfect weather - after an incredible hail storm - for it.

I spent 3 blissful days at my dear friend's place and as usual, learned a ton from her. Such a Masterful Soul she is. We created a lot, ate really well and saw some beautiful places: 

I also made a few books again, little journals and two hiking little notebooks to keep track of our future hikes. As it's fun to collect the stamps on top of the mountains or even hills. And because I now have a small Selphy little printer I can glue the photos from the tops inside too and that makes soooo much difference :)  

August is always really busy with birthdays so we had a lot of good food outings :) 

And I had a perfect market day with my masterful friend. I love spending time with her and meeting new people and it's been really long since we did this:

I also started filming my second Skillshare class. This time, about a very special monthly sketchbook that I actually did complete by the end of September.

September was also a very creative month with following interesting color prompted themes as part of #coloricombo project and of course with filming and editing my class. Hikes were also happening and I must say I really have missed them immensely in the past years. Time spent  in the nature is definitely invaluable and I am catching glimpses of some pretty amazing beings whilst being out and about too. I hope I get better at retaining these connections for longer one day, so that I can draw and maybe even talk to them. Wouldn't it be super cool to have a little book written and illustrated about these beings? Not a new thing out there but it would be for me. Plus I think we all perceive them a bit differently and that must add some interest too, right?  ​

October has been mostly about working in my special sketchbook which wasn't really finished but I'm good with that. Loads was happening alongside as well so it didn't have my fullest of attentions. Like Ex Tempore Bled 2021 for which I made this:

It was inspired by the way our Multiverse functions and I'd love to make more of them. Bigger too as this is only 50 x 50 cm but I'd need more space for that. I'll see. But it's definitely a collection I'd like to work on. 

I also made a little illustration that I sketched back in Izola when we took my dad to have a rather special surgical procedure. So glad all was well back then and still is. I do thank dragons for this and their willingness to help us. Thank you all Light workers out there too.

I also held a super fun creative workshop via Zoom in Carly's ZOOM room and I am yet to discover how this will evolve but things are taking shape I believe. I also discovered what I do want - which is really rare for me - and now I want to be strong enough to actually do it. Come to think of it, I did want it before as well but didn't go for it. Oh well.... spirals and all :D Still learning!

I am definitely looking forward to what November brings and I will hopefully be back here sooner :) There's also one thing that I cannot get out of my head and it's "made with nini". I believe this will be something I'll be writing about more in the future. Let's see.

All the best till the next write up!

Ahh, the familiarity of this place. I was just reading my old posts and saw where I already have been and it kinda saddened me that I allowed myself to fall back so much - again. But did I?

Loads happened last year that I didn't write about. I translated a book, learned about Tarot, practiced Atlantean healing modality, found out about mediumship and did a whole lot of soul traveling - Atlantis being a really lovely place. I met a lot of like-minded people over many many ZOOM sessions and received a lot of feedback. I also started posting videos on YouTube (something I never even dreamt of doing). I really did learn a lot and never gave myself any credit for it. My ego is working really hard and well, sadly. Time to change this! Again :) 

Another certain thing in life is spiraling. We are making progress even if it seems we are only circling. Which we can be, but it's always upwards. Slowly slowly, on a spiral that from above looks like a circle. But because we don't exactly come to the exact same point - because we have learned and experienced and thus evolved, we rise a bit above our previous "starting point". Hence the spiral. Jup. Glad I have this written here now! 

The most current thing I am doing these days, is connecting to the Bigger Picture (as I like to call Greater Reality) to receive healing visual messages to put on paper or canvas or whatever subtract I feel called to. I always had the knowing I can do this but it looks like I needed all of the above mentioned experiences to get the feedback and push forward that I needed. I wrote about this project on my Made by Nini blog as I am currently making a painting/drawing once per week and sending it off to anyone that wants it (and has subscribed to it). 

I also opened my own shop to sell my creations in (really proud of this one :D ).

And because Spring has finally arrived, I feel like I am about to embark on something even newer! And you know what? I am not going to search for it as I would really like to enjoy and learn from what I am doing​ right now. Because if I have learned anything, is that things always happen in divine timing and when we are ready for them. And when we close some doors, let go off some beliefs and make space for new things to arrive. 

Let's enjoy the now, shall we, and raise the vibration for all of us.

See you when I see you ;)
All the best till then.

So funny really that I came a full circle with my blog postings and decided to go back on blogger. Why? It's on a free platform which means it's there no matter which domain I use and I can always link to it from my own website. I don't know how to, nor am I sure I would want to, change and transfer my old posts somewhere else. I know where they are and readers can find them should they want to, right?

What matters is today, the now and so I am going back there to one of my roots of sorts. I will try and continue writing about my current creative projects, post some outside photos (when we'll be allowed to go further than our own municipalities that is) and publish tutorials again. Plus it has a subscribe button that actually works :D I think. LOL.

Wanna see it? Click on the BLOG link up there below my header or HERE :) And do let me know what you think about these plans of mine please :)

This blog however, I'll keep for my personal findings, my a-ha moments related to greater reality as it's good to keep some kind of record of these too. I warmly invite you to follow these pages if you are interested in this topic.

As always, wishing you all the best. Let's stay creative as it keeps our vibration higher.

I just read my two previous posts and oh dear am I in a way repeating myself. I'm still going around in circles only luckily they are in a spiral so in a way, I am moving forward. Just veeery slowly :)  I won't moan though. Loads happened till now. Still IS! The "Welcome Back" greeting was a greeting for my Soul. I had an amazing energy healing with Soul pieces retrieval and obviously got a big part of me back because things are starting to happen faster. Way faster than usual and I, for once, have a clear view of what I want to achieve next! Which is kinda new to me. New in the way, that for myself, I never really know what to do. For others it's different. If there's something to be done I'll do it. Eventually :)
The Knowing about being creative is always present but it's just really hard to actually stick to it. Because I don't prioritize myself first. And I know I should so this is me saying I will! 

During these 4 months since my last post I fell in love with Tarot cards, ignited back my love for crystals, learned a powerful energy healing way that I can do over distance, translated the book I talked about in the previous posts, got myself into a few e-courses to start being more creative again :D (here's the loop thing) and received loads of help from The Universe to get me back on track! Which I am REALLY GRATEFUL for. I gladly take all the help I can get. Thank you! ♥

Now let me post some photos for the future me to look back upon :)

In July I made quite a few earrings to sell at the market because we were finally allowed to do so. I continued making them in August as well. We also had our super short vacation time in Bled again, same place as last year, free of charge again (compliments of out Government)! I so love it there but this time, I had no time to be creative! :)  

August is also the time for The Sketchpack Project hosted by my on-line friend Di Metcalf from South Africa. It's about drawing in a little accordion booklet but I got an idea for felting little hearts resembling things I love and like. I thought I will make 30 of them but I just couldn't keep up as each took quite a bit of time that I just didn't have. I realized I can't be creative and translate at the same time. I mean, I could but it would take me ages to do it. Translate that is. So I dropped everything else in order to move forward with the translation and actually finish it. It certainly brought a huge relief when I did :) 

​Here are two of the hearts I made, one about my beloved trees and one about the water:

I still want to finish up this lovely project as I have ideas for it but the way things are evolving now, it will have to wait a wee bit more. I won't say much more but my next project involves needle felting and I am VERY excited about it. I do have a wish to blog more even if no-one reads this. It's odd I know but still. These pages are kinda valuable to me.

In September I met little Miss Zala for the first time, made myself a gorgeous colorful journal and went to help with the grape-harvesting as the weather was really moody, gloomy and wet and the grape picking needed to be done as fast as possible.

September was full to the brim too. We tackled our bedroom and completely remodeled it. Well, not that there's a lot to re-do but the ceiling, floor and those short walls were all painted in white. And in multiple layers because the paint wasn't exactly opaque :D We used to have that dark blue carpet on the floor and walls. So the difference is huge and I love it!

The e-course I enrolled into started and it got me making a small sketchbook just for the occasion. I just love crappier papers because they make a sketchbook much more fun to use because it's just not that precious as something made from "proper" watercolor paper for example. 

And so came November and all the good energies with it. It's a month of big shifts and settling down of higher vibes so it's also kinda hard on us because we need to adjust to this. Meditation and nature definitely help us coping with these upgrades. 

I really hope to be back sooner next time because I just might write a bit more and more in-depth about what's going on. I might. And as I said, I have something brewing but am keeping my mouth shut :D Just wish me luck please, I'll need it. A lot! 

Thank you for reading. As always, I wish you a lovely day, every day.

June. "My" month.Why? Because it's my birthday month and because it seems to be, together with December, one of the most supportive months for me. Maybe that's true for everyone's birth month plus December having some special powers but I have been looking forward to June and the gifts it will bring. And they are already coming my way ♡ ♡ ♡

Let's see. In the last post I was all excited about my new brand name and everything but things turned around again, as they like to do when they need to so I came to the conclusion, lol, that I will still use "made by nini" for my little creations - jewellery or felted things or tiny sculptures or you name it - but my name is what is an umbrella for all these things. Because, it is. It's me who makes and Nini who inspires, it's a collaboration between two worlds that are not separate, just invisible to our eyes, for now. 

So I am currently translating one of Guy Needler's books - The Anne Dialogues - making earrings and trying to paint whatever wants to come out on paper or canvas. Hikes are an absolute must because of all these things as is meditation and time for meeting new people and discovering new ways to connect to the bigger picture :) It's full-filling and exciting and I am so curious about what's next. Not that this isn't enough but Universe loves to inspire and surprise us and I do love joyfull surprises.

I'll end with one of my findings from this year. I came across Abraham Hicks when I needed to hear him/them the most and the energy and vibration that ooze from these videos is amazing. Do have a listen and feel for yourself. Wisdom and sense of humor are just a bonus ;)  

Oh and let me share some of the earrings I made :)

Wishing you all a great summer and lots of high vibe days :)

With much love,
Nina

It's been a while and A LOT has happened in between. A lot. This sentence I've seen around sums it pretty well:

It's true. So much has been and still is going on energetically that all I can say is "Thank you Universe". I have definitely been thrown down and experienced quite a few very unpleasant situations but I learned a lot from them. I am also receiving more and more guidance and am just trying to keep up with everything. Which is hard. Old patterns keep emerging and it's so difficult to shed them, let them go because they are my comfort zone, my go-to doings, my familiar and known spaces. But I am not giving up and as usual, I have taken on a wee bit too much on board. But I need to own it now and deliver :) 

There's also a quarantine going on these days - almost 14 days here in Slovenia - due to this Covid-19 virus spreading around causing all sorts of mayhem. It looks pretty bad but I choose not to focus on the bad as it's not helping me nor those around me. I am staying away from others as we were told to do and trying to lead my life as I did up till now. I am so SO grateful to be living in a house outside of our city so that we can still go out in the nature and enjoy it's healing and good vibes. I hope that things do indeed level up mid April.

Now let me get to the usual log kinda post. The rest of February was pretty creative. I finally tackled one of my big curiosities and that was circular weaving. I made it on one of my embroidery hoops and among other wools I used glow-in-the-dark thread for some added spark magic. I needed to test it out and it's great but very thin, so for sewing it definitely needs to be double.

The end of February put me in bed with high fever but otherwise good overall feeling. Which was sooo weird. I couldn't exactly create but just prior to that I did a spread in my beloved Volvo magazine and it sparked something in me. I need to explore that more but just thinking about exploring stops me. Odd, right? Might be the fear of finding something special :)

Whatever I caught lasted for more than 3 weeks and then Covid-19 came and we were all grounded anyways. So I did some mending and tried to sew new pants for M which... well... didn't exactly turned out as planned :(

In the beginning of March I finally finished my illustration work for my friend and her novel. I can't believe how hard that was especially when I always wanted to illustrate a story! I have no idea why but it made me question if this work is for me. I'm only sharing a sneak peek as the book is not published yet :)  Right photo shows the beginning of a very special gift which is super top secret so I won't say no more :D

The before mentioned gift had to be postponed due to another special gift :D Didn't send him out yet as he still needs a tin home but I love him very much and I can't wait to hear what my friend thinks of him. Meet Jože the Frog:

And the painting on the right is a special, hopefully first in a series of many more, energy painting. I have been observing energies on 350th frequency of our Multiverse when being outside and I had this idea, more than once, that I should paint them and sell them. I have a long way to go to capture what I really see but the connection and intention behind what I make is very much present nevertheless. As is in all the things I make. Which brings me to this new chapter in my life that is all about sharing my gift with as many people. Oh I hope they find my creations and that they will speak to them. I plan on making earrings and necklaces from some of these paintings because having them near would be very beneficial to anyone wearing them. 

Oh and another important thing I need to share is - I am re-branding!

I have had an idea about the logo for a long time. Really long time actually. It came to me whilst doing my morning pages, when I was drawing everyday before breakfast. Another thing that was really valuable. Well, I haven't put it on "paper" so to speak yet so until I do, the name shall suffice :)  And I love it. I think it's perfect. Can't wait to have the logo :)

And with this I conclude this log. Interesting times indeed :)
Staying creative and in good vibes is a must!

Much love and light until my next post. Do comment and let me know how you are doing.
