Pay It Forward






Sometime ago, I read an initiative in Pauline's blog, Fat-connection, where she proposes to make a "chain of good will", yes, as in the story we all know, but instead of favors are handmade gifts. How cool is that?


She began with this on 2009, and now my turn has come! , so, here's the guidelines:


1.- I will make three handmade gifts for the first three people who comments on this post. (I will ship internationally, even if you're in timbuktu...juju)

2.-I have 365 days to do it.. but don't worry , I want to complete this mission as soon as possible!! (let's say...3-4 months, or maybe less, who knows =p)

3.-You must have a blog (it's the only way to make sure that you will do the same! O_O)

4.-of course, you must be willing to do the same for other three pleople! (remember your honor!)


that way we hope that this chain will grow up more and more! XD C'mon pleople, let's share the good will ^_^


PS:The handmade gift will be a surprise XD

PS2: I hope you don't mind I used your image,Pauline ^^u


See ya then!

Yo-yo Addiction

Yep, make those yoyos can be addictive O_o. Recently I found this tutorial, wich explains very clear how to make them.

Sip, hacer esos yoyos puede ser adictivo o_o. Recientemente encontré este tutorial que explica claramente cómo hacerlos.

Also, I bought these beautiful fabrics *_*.

también compré estas hermosas telas *_*

fabrics


I realized that fabric stores bring imported fabrics more often, especially american cotton .They're a little expensive T_T but they sell out very quickly!!

Me di cuenta que las tiendas de tela traen telas importadas más seguido, especialmente algodón americano. Son un poco caras T_T pero se venden muy rápido!


Well... I must go to work! n_n

Bueno, debo trabajar

What I've done

First, I like that linkin park song ("what I've done").
Second, sorry I didn't post anything the last week ¡_¡ .

But I made these little pouches to sell



monederos



and these "box pouches" following this tutorial. The orange one, is the original size from the tutorial. For the black one, I've added 1.5" because the original size is a little small for my purposes.


boxy

The black has interfacing and the orange don't

I don't like the look of the inside because all the sewings and part of the zipper shows up, so I'm looking for other way to do it.

Right now I'm doing yo-yos with the yoyo technique, I'm addicted! I will show you next post XD.

Have a good day ♥
