Hello!

The summer is already here and I am less than never at home! Outside the days are longer and it's perfect to enjoy walking, running, the terraces, etc. Although I'm less at home from time to time I try to sew a little and I have somethings pending. Last saturday I decided to renew my vanity kit to put inside my make up, but it is usefull also for soaps, perfume, etc. It is a vanity kit that I can carry in my bag everyday.

The fabrik is from EEUU and is very nice, remember me to my visit there last sumemr where I discovered little insects that shine in the night. Not all the insects are ugly and bite ;-).

Have a nice afternoong and good weekend!

Summer bag and more personalized pocket trays

Hello!

This days as I had more tiem I made a summer bag with wood handles. It is the first bag I made and I hope not the last. The fabrik is american and is a good fabrik, this fabriks are very good and easy to use.

I also show you the last personalized pocket tray that a friend ask me for it. This pocket tray is bigger than others but they want a big pocket tray to use it a lot. The pocket tray is one thing that if you don't have you don't need it but if you have one you need a bigger one because it's always full.

Good Week!

The pin cushion has the shape of a flower and it's beeing made following the steps of this tutorial. http://diaryofaquiltmaven.blogspot.ca/2013/01/faux-cathedral-windows-pincushion.html.

Individual tablecloths for the summer

Some months ago I saw some individual tablecloths handmade that were very beautiful so I've decidet to do two for my parents, now that arrived the summer they have breakfast outside. Today I enjoy the sunday doing some things and begin the two individual tablecloths that I hope I will finish by this week. They have 45X35cm and on the front they have summer draws and at the back they will be plain. The fabriks are cotton and linen, two fabriks that are ideals for the sunmmer ;-).

Bracelets

Hello!

With good weather we begin to change clothes and complements. Is time to say goodby to gloves, scarfs and coats, and is time to brooches, scarfs and bracelets. In summer we wear a lot of bracelets that suit with all clothes and we can show them more than in winter ;-). I had a new lace to do bracelets and I made one bracelet I learnt to do two years ago. Always I did with a little lace and now I use a bigger one. I didn't know how to close the bracelet and I decided to do with a lilac button I had. This bracelets are very easy, if you look through Yourube you can find a lot of tutorials to make some of them and why not design yours.

I think I will buy laces of different colors and I will continue doing bracelets for this summer.

Good night!

At home everybody is also changing the winter clothes for spring clothes. This year I decided to do new cushions for my sofa with a lot of colors.

Last buffs before the end of the winter

Hello,

Soon will be spring, the days are longer these days, there are hotter weather and we are with the colds typicals of changing weather. This last weekend I went to the mountaint, to enjoy the nature, disconnect and enjoy a weekend with friends, two days for charge energy.

This two days we have the company of the two little kids less than one year old, and I had the opportunity of gave them two buffs especially done for them. For the little kids that make smile us during two days. For the little kids that are discovering the world, that have the innocence we lost when we grew, that have the best smiles for everyone and also the best cryings (they don't have another way to communicate ;.), that they have a life to discover.

Goodnight!

They ask me to do litlle pocket trys for the rooms that have differents colors and with the logo of the house. One colleague from my job help me with the stamps, she creats a perfect and lovely stamp for my project. The interior of the pocket trays are equal and the exterior have differents colors. They will be perfect for the rooms ;-). It's a cottage where people is the first and all is with little details for your comfort. It's a place for relax and enjoy the mountains for a weekend or more.

Helli,

The last days I've been seewing a bibs and dummy holders for babys that will born soon. The fabric of one bib have a lot of animas and it's very nice, One friend suggest me to creat buttons with it and the result is very nice. I have in mind to do some brooch with buttons, felt and different kind of fabrics. I hope I will do sooner but first I want to finish a infinity scarf with a nice fabric I bought in the EEUU.

I have different order for the next weeks, I will have to do more nights like past saturday. One friend and me had dinner and after that we sewed till early morning, but it was fantastic to sew with music, silence and good company.

Yesterday I donated part of the money from the last orders to the  association Associació Llibres Lliures, one association that promote the culture and reading, where people can donate books and take others for free or a little donation. I love books and this association is very nice, with a lot of books for everybody, if you want to know it you can visit the page or ask me about it.

Good night,
