Out of doors

This cute bag with the puppy design was inspired here and here. She can carry her precious books , pencase and her favorite stuffed elephant seal in it.
Playing outside, feeling the fresh breeze on our face and walking barefoot feeling the grass, the cold stone floor under our feet , picking fruits from the trees, that´s what we´ve done yesterday and there´s nothing sweeter than these moments, oh, yes, there is. The fruits ( jaboticabas) are very sweet.

Wishing you had a sweet weekend!

Favorite Finds

I´d like to show you some cute things I brought from the United States trip like these buttons and "pois" ribbons which I really adore!



This little vintage metal plate was a great find in Monterrey and the store was selling the same old canned sardines that became famous . My dad bought a lot of them to give as gifts, such a nice gift, though!


Many bookstores with lots of SALES , I found this box of Easy to make Felt Teddies that enchanted me! They are really cute and I guess this week I´ll make them!


Fabrics: can´t live without them! oh, and scissors and buttons and stamps...



At my sewing studio with my new calendar with everyday sewing projects in it, it´s the greatest idea , ever! And my old embroidered hoop and some work in progress fabrics, already cut and ready to be finished.

The sun has arrived in my sewing studio!

I´m back, sewing and having thousands of ideas that I´ll have to write down on my notebook, try to organize a little before I start but today I´ve sewn something that later on I´ll post here for you! And it´s yellow as you can see here in the sewing machine picture!



I just can´t survive without them!


This sewing machine... Oh, it has been working for years and years, I really love and respect it!!
I love flowers of every kind, these are fake but I like them a lot and they decorate my window .


At the entrance of the studio, some embroidery framed work, a clock ( not working!) and a pretty key hanger I bought some years ago .


My reformed lampshade with scraps!
More scraps of fabric , now I sewed them on the curtain, it became more colorful!




Isn´t that wonderful ? Finally after days of grey skies, windy days the sun has come to our place and brought together some inspiration for me to take some fabrics, choose colors and take photographs , too!

I´m happy now.

Have a sunny day!

With a little time

This lovely tape , it came from Japan, from my dearest friend Sweet bug!


I´ve been using it a lot! Isn´t it the cutest thing, ever?


Supplies, supplies...


Haberdashery, I love this word!


I´ve been trying to sew at least twice a week which has been impossible for the thousands of chores and work I had these days, phew, I wish I had more time for it!!
Today I had this little time , from 3 to 5 PM and I could sit , breath and make some aprons and other stuff. Oh, how I love the sound of the sewing machine, my new rotary cutter all floral and to listening to good music!
I wish you all have a great weekend and please, try to take some time just for you, will ya?

Sitting on this chair...

This afternoon, I sat on this chair ( with a suitcase full of fabrics to be organized, yes, I´m lazy!) covered by this cute vintage design fabric that I love , love, love, from Goodness and I started looking around my new studio and found these four ramekins that I had bought some time ago, waiting for some transformation and tada! I´ve just remembered and old Handmade Zakka book my father had brought to me from Japan and made these pretty little ramekin pincushions.
It was fun to make them, so quick and easy and also I loved taking pictures of them, the sunlight that visited us into the studio through the window was so amazing!

A new beginning!

I´m sorry guys for all these days out of here, from writing, from taking photographs and so on and so forth... I´ve been very very busy moving my furniture, my sewing stuff and everything else to my new space. I mean, our new space because now we have three new spaces beside our home. One is Edu´s studying room, the other is Elephant´s Club named by Camila for her new art corner ( that´s in the kitchen) and my new sewing studio,yay!!! Almost ready!!!
So these are the pictures , before and after but the after will be changed a lot, I have to work to get the things on the right place, very handy and with good light for the nights I intend to work sewing.
I guess I need more drawers and shelves... for all my treasured fabrics!
But today I feel so lazy, after so many weeks of working , organizing, moving, I´m really tired...
But happy I am for all these new happenings in my life! So let´s start this week with pleasure , happiness and hope in our hearts and lives, ok? And I´ll slow down for my sanity...
