Welcome 2014!

Hello everybody!

First of all I wanna thank all the messages I received during this period of absence. The end of the year was kinda tuff together with January. I was all by myself with an entire house to take care of and this really absorbed all of my energy. I had to be a mother of three, a wife, a housewife and a driver....I do have someone to help me with all of this but this person was on vacation.

Remember the pillowcase I made with the little bear and the butterflies? Well, last month my husband's friend sent me this lovely picture of his niece with the pillow in the back. If there is one thing I really love is to see my gifts being used!


Oh my, she is a lovely japanese little angel! :D

Last month I tried to learn some about patcworking too and I made two table runners..



No big deal..I am just a begginer but I plan to go further on learning about it...maybe I can do something better in the future :D For now I am only "testing" techniques.


I miss cross stitching so so badly! I received the "Mini Village" book together with other patterns from Soda But I didn't have the chance to start anything yet. The thing is that I don't have the fabric color for the project..I only have white aida. The whole thing is 242w x 372h and if I use the 14ct ainda I have it will turn into a huge thing for framing.


I'll have to figure out what to do. I don't wanna spend lots of money to buy this fabric online but it seems almost impossible to find it in Brazil...so, I decided to start a new project yesterday.


I wish you all an awesome weekend!

XOXO, Isa.

Welcome back, Isabella! Your projects are so cute - I've been thinking of picking up patchwork, but it's a little intimidating. Was it easy to learn?

Preeti said...

Great to see you again, Isabella!! :)
your patchwork looks perfect even if you are at beginner level. It is so lovely to see your sweet design being used by a cute little baby:)
Here in India, we get white and cream colored aida fabric. Did you try dyeing the fabric? I never tried it thinking that it is another big task. Your new starts are very cute as always :)

Oi, Isabella,

Bem vinda de volta! rsrs. O seu travesseirinho ficou lindo demais no bercinho da pequena japonesa! e os novos trabalhos já estão perfeitos, se os visse expostos em algum lugar, não imaginaria que são de uma aprendiz.

Um beijo e bom 2014!

Oba post novo! Já estava sentindo falta de mais uma novidade SODA na sua lista.

E que neném lindo é esse gente! Abençoada seja. muito fofa! Lembra minha sobrinha Bianca quando recém nascida. Que apesar que não ter descendência nipônica e sim plenamente italiana, nasceu com os olhos bem puxadinhos. =)

Aproveito para te desejar hoje um feliz aniversário!
Bjs!

Tomei um susto com a foto da bebê, pensei que fosse tua hahaha
Na verdade, fiquei com preguiça de ler, me atrapalhei um pouco com a tradução, mas enfim, entendi rs
Amei teus trabalhos em patchwork, adoooro.
Estou encantada com os motivos de bordado.
O post tá cheio de coisa linda!
Teus trabalhos são maravilhosos. Perfeitos.
