BLOGTOBERFEST 2013!!

That's right! Even when I'm away, Blogtoberfest always pulls me back in!
Let's see if I can do it properly.

Are you participating in this year's blogtoberfest? :D

Join us!

Wow!! I can't believe...

...it's been almost 5 months since my last post! How did that happen??

But now I'm determined to return. I'll try and update what I've been up to.
If there is anyone still reading, thank you so much for sticking around! :)

Blankets, blanakets & more blankets

25 and counting... :)

My latest work :)

Scary but necessary!

I can't even begin to tell you how much stuff came out of my sewing machine. It was totally necessary!

Sucess! I think, I haven't tried sewing anything just yet... :)

My most recent Silhouette Cameo project

It was a feline project too!
To decorate a brand new cat shelter. Bliss!

Does it ever happen to you, liking the remaining frame so much you just have to do something with it? :)

I love working without a mat, there are many opportunities for it, but when working with long sheets of vinyl, the results are perfect! :)

I'm just a freespirited girl... :D

It's THAT time of the year again, the time when I choose the fabrics for the year. I must say I've never struggled so much to pick fabrics as I did this time. Ohh, if only my budget allowed :D

Here they are, the main fabrics for 2013. :)

A small blanket for baby Nicole :)

Handmade by SandyOwn, with a little help from Mr. Ikea and my sewing machine

Starting off the Year

Hello.

I know we are in February, so the Year has long started. But I've been without a camera for some time now and only now can I show you my finished projects.
It's hard to be a blogger without a proper camera. Sure you can use the phone camera, but it never does the items justice and I hate that!.

So here they are, a shopping bag holder on its way to Australia, quilts and a new item I've started to make that's been having some great feedback.
Basically it's a patchwork blanket with a synthetic lambswool back.
I like how much lighter it is when comparing to a quilt, perfect to carry with you for your baby or for a pet.

Just so you know...

Silhouette cameo does not cut through eva foam. Maybe for the thinest kind but I'm working with a 2mm thick sheet and there is no way... :-(

Hello Hello

Hello :)

I've been thinking of the perfect post to start my 2013 with, but I've come up with nothing. So, when I found this tutorial, that I just had to share, I decided to just go with it.

It's in portuguese, but it's pretty self explanatory. She's basically teaching how to assemble those zippers that sell by the yard.

It is so brilliant! totally worth the sacrifice of a fork. It works wonderfully, I guarantee.
So, if this is something you struggle with, here's my tip to you.

Enjoy!
