Playing with fabrics

Yeah, I was bored the other day and cut fabric squares about 5 x 5 cm thinking about doing some patchwork. (click to enlarge)

It was a little complicated O_o but entertaining

Then I remembered that I must make a pencil case for the winner of my giveaway (enter if you haven't already, before time runs out!) and I decided to make one using this technique!

Made with my favorite fabrics *_*

The inside

This pen case will be an option for the winner!

Well... I must visit the other OWOH participants... they're so many!! Have you visited ALL the links already? +_+

The next post will be the winner's announcement!! =D

Valentine's earrings

Today I made this earrings following this tutorial (thanks Jo!) .

I must say that was a coincidence that I had the paper because it's very difficult to get it. Here in Mexico is almost impossible! but I have some contacs, you know...jujuju >D. Well, the paper is just beautiful as expensive. If you want to know more about this great paper, click here.

well.... later I was thinking about make more earrings... but this time with fabric!

So, I drew a heart in two pieces of fabric (about 5 cm each side)


and I sewed it attaching a little ribbon in the top, then turned it out and filled it with stuffing.



It's easy!



maybe they're a little big? (I like small earrings)

I hope this is clear ^^u .You know, I'm not sure if my english is correct (you can leave a comment if you have questions! or corrections...)

I'm very excited about discover new people and all sorts of beautiful worlds: girls, mothers, grandmothers, men, students, artists, novices, experts, vintage lovers....even bums like me =p.

That's what unites us, the desire to give something to someone who might be far off.

I'm so grateful for all your nice comments, I wish I could give a gift to each person T_T . I suppose it's the sad thing about the event, but instead, we maintain ties with nice people with all their creativity and their beautiful creations. That's priceless ^^

Putting idea books to use

recently I discover this blog with a great idea for this new year: putting idea books to use. She is right, sometimes we have a lots of books with great ideas but we never use them!

And now that my brain is dried, I decided to put this idea into practice ^_^

I made this little plushies from a japanese book that I bought two years ago and this is the first time I used it ^^u (better now than never, right?)

Made with felt

Zoom in


I had fun making them! *_* .

Have a good weekend ^^

I want you to know me a little, so let's take a look in my life : I love cats ( I have three), my favorite colors are blue, pink and black; I love clouds that looks like cotton, I like mexican food specially "tacos", I like videogames and drawing. Lastly I have a little obsession with trees and birds ^^

That's all guys! Thanks to Lisa for this event =D

ps.Sorry for the horrendous photo ^^u

My little stash

This time I wanna show you my stash. It's a little small but I think is decent for make some cute things =p

You see something repetitive?

Yeah! I must confess! I LOVE flowers fabrics ¡_¡ they are just beautiful. But desings of animals and nature are my favorite too (ah, and dots jujuju ^^)

My stash grew this month with some "donations" from my mother and boyfriend. I bought some too.

This is my favorite fabric for now.

I like it so much because the print is very clear =D

Speaking of wich, I like cottons and natural fibers. In my country there's some decent stores where you can buy a great variety of fabrics.I realized that imported cottons are pretty good but we have a few with the same quality but the desings are childish.
One meter of good mexican cotton cost usd$3.5 approx.
Cheap cotton usd$1.5, and
American cotton usd$6.5
This is an example of how much it cost the fabric in my city. I would like to know how much it cost the fabric in your city ^^

ps.Sorry if my english is wrong
