Liberty London: Prints

I´ve only been twice in London, while I was a student in Nottingham.

It´s one of my all times favourite cities (after Paris), and I cannot wait to visit it again someday... so interesting, open-minded and cosmopolitan.

Too bad I didn´t know of the existence of Liberty London at that time... a department store in the heart of the city. Or should I say it was good for my student economy not to spend hundred of pounds in beautiful fabrics and delicate home decor items :)

Now, Liberty is selling PRINTS! I think "how expensive can a poster be?". I really don´t want to know, I don´t need to know, but if one day I stop in London, I´m sure will buy 1 or 2... and a few meters of fabrics... and a tea cup. 

Bye bye, money.

ps: the "I LIKE IT WHAT IS IT?" got me thinking... were they inspired by me? :)

Cupcake

I LOOOOOVE sweets! 

it shows, uh?

Yesterday I found a pattern to make sweet cupcakes, and couldn´t stop crocheting since then! it took me a while, but it was completely worth it. I just need a nice place in my room to boast about this little and fluffy piece. OF CAKE!

Human vs. Machine

I always wanted to use my sewing machine more often, but I´m a bit clumsy and I don´t want to waste nice and expensive fabric :)

A good friend of mine was expecting a little girl, so instead of buying any impersonal boring item, I decided to do something myself. Never made any item for babies before, so I started with a pattern I found on the net... and here you have: my first BIB! :)

It was super easy to do, and I was so proud of myself that I made 6 in a day! I was sorry I didn´t buy more towel... I would definitely try to sell those! I must admit it´s a bit addictive haha...

Hope you like them! :)

Watercolor inspiration

I am an amateur when it comes to watercolors. Have to admit I didn't try too hard yet, and so far I only used them to colour the back of paper broochs or paint some funny things on birthday greetings cards. I always felt fascinated about the effects created with water, those amazing fading shadows, so naive! I proposed myself to get into it asap, since right now my new work in Germany is doing good and gives me enough free time to spend it on myself, my boy and my hobbies.
Here some inspiration, all on Pinterest:

Chloe

This is my baby, my partner in crime: my cat Chloe.

She loves playing with feathers, jingle bells, and having naps on my felt and sweaters.
I thought I might just introduce her to the blog space... because life wouldn´t be so funny without her good morning "meows" <3

Frame, not confetti!

Hello friends!

I´m taking a sort of "handcrafting holiday" this weekend, since I´ve been working like crazy the last two weeks. Luckily enough (or not) I still have to learn quite a lot of german, ´cos my final exam is next week and I´m sort of... nervös. The weather is not stable yet, so it´s helping me focussing on the things I REALLY have to do, which means: no beach for me this weekend!.

I haven´t posted anything "deco" lately, so here I show you what I´ve done a few weeks ago. My parents love making framed landscapes, and I kinda felt curious, and inspired for a moment, so I made this with rests of fabric and felt. Someone told me that I should make confetti with those little pieces of felt, but even when I find the idea super nice, have to admit it would be a lot of work! ;)

If you have any question about the frame: price, shipping, sizes... write me! :)

See you soon!
