As I started with handmade tags I didn't know at all how it'll turn out. Now I can't stop creating. The writing made most of the work because the more I wanted to write 'perfectly' the more unnatural it looked. I've got them transferred quite luckily for a change. I'm doing embroidery every free minute, it's a HEAVEN!

That's the result. Backstitch rules!
I wanted completely another style but didn't have matching fabric (well, pre-washed one). So it turned this way. Anyway, I'm happy with it.

OMG!!! I've got HTML! Now I can blog from my Flickr without struggling, I changed the layout on my own! Centered picture without framing. Not the big step for the mankind but for me :D

Anyway, I prefer to get better at embroidery, I'm still a pupil.
Had a new idea. A handmade tag. I bought a transfer pencil, wrote with my prettiest handwriting 'Buttons', and tried to get the transfer on to the fabric. I didn't get it well. Anyway, started with the backstitch, *sigh*, I know my handwriting. Read the next post.

Too lazy to blog.

Yep, that's true. Already paid 90 bucks for a Typepad account are not really a motivation to blog. I just can't leave my comfy zone. Don't know why. Despite the fact that didn't feel bloggy got this done last time: two shoe bags for my daughter, a sewing case for her textile class and a cross-stitched dish towel for my kitchen:

   

Ready to send

first Give Aways ready to send
Ursprünglich hochgeladen von sardana_designs

It's been pretty busy time again. The school started and then my daughter has had her b-day. But now my first Give Aways on both, English and German blogs are ready to be sent. At long last! I'd like to thank you all participants, it's been a fun!

Another one future form

At long last I've got everything to start felting, even literature about it. As I tried it for the first time it seemed to be pretty boring though I've been fascinated of other's creations always. I should be able to do the same, this thought haunted my mind. So here I am, prepared with wool, a brand new product called Mega-Filzer (it supposes to be better and faster than an olive soap). I even armed with needles in case I'll prefer needle felting. Surely, I'll post about my experience.
Now it's time for Steven Spielberg's Empire Of The Sun and young Christian Bale. DVD evening!  

First Give Away: the results

It's been a fun with the first Give Away!!! Thank you all for nice comments!

My daughter assisted me. AND THE WINNER IS.....

CONGRATULATIONS, MARINA Y.!!!!!!!

At long last things go on. I bought a simple tea towel made of linen & cotton and customised it.

Marie Claire Idées

I've got my first Marie Claire Idées yesterday. Well, what can I tell. That's one of kind of sadnesses when I think on German ressourses. First of all, they aren't competitors at all. I didn't find no one good craft magazine in German. I miss England. And Spain. And Paris. I can get lost in shops while looking thru such a diversity of choices.
