Mi tienda en Artesanio

Nuevas telas - New fabrics

He comprado nuevas telas para mis proyectos, esta vez en azul. Las tres tienen preciosos estampados florales o rayas, perfectos para pequeñas creaciones como alfileteros o saquitos de lavanda.

------------------------------------------------------------

I bought some more fabrics for my projects, this time blue ones. All three of them have vintage floral or stripes patterns, perfect for small projects like pincushions and sachets.

Mi pequeña familia de alfileteros - My Pincushions Family

Estas son mis últimas creaciones para mi tienda on Etsy - unos adorables alfileteros. Todos son combinaciones de lino en color natural y algodon con bónitos estampados florales. Algunos tienen botones de madreperla o madera y encaje.

-----------------------------------------------------------

These are my latest creations for my Etsy shop - cute little pincushions. All of them combine linen and cotton fabrics. I also used applique for some, mother of pearl and wooden buttons and lace.

I will be listing them soon.

Crocheted bobby pins

I think I am turning addicted to crochet. Yesterday I spend three hours crocheting non-stop and now I fill my fingers somewhat tired and inflated.

Really I like more doing small things like flowers or appliques, I just don't have enough patience for a big project.

These bobby pins were finished some days ago. They were crocheted with 100% cotton thread and embellished with tiny pearls. A good start for my Hair Accessories Section on Etsy :)

Crochet flowers

I have been doing these crochet flowers during the last weeks just for fun. May be I'll embellish them with beads and transform them into flower brooches for my jewelry shop. I think they are also beautiful adorning a sachet, a knitted hat, a pillowcase...

New fabrics

A few days ago I discovered a new hobby shop in Barcelona with a beautiful selection of French country style fabrics. I bought some for my future projects and just can not wait to start!

New collection!

I have just listed the first ring from the new collection for my jewelry shop on Etsy. Now there are also a new Rings section as I will be adding more items this week.

Back to work!

Now I am back from my vacation and ready to work! I have not done anything new these holidays, but I have some new projects in mind and I am already waiting for supplies to come. I have ordered a lot of new things for my jewelry shop, so check back often to have a first look on my future items!

Happy 2010!

Last listing for 2009

This is my last Etsy listing for 2009 - a beautiful pincushion in three different fabrics:
I bought the green one months ago without any project in mind just because I liked it a lot. The beige one is pure linen. The back of the pincushion is a soft pink cotton (not seen on the photo). But the thing I like most is a tiny satin ribbon rose which adorns the hanger!

Hanging Sachet

One of the last projects of this year - hanging sachet with crocheted applique.

I made it with pure linen fabric for the pillow cover and lightweight cotton fabric for the inner pillow. I always try to use inner pillows for my sachets because the perfume of lavender buds tends to fade with time and an inner pillow allows you refresh your sachet with fresh lavender quiet easily. It is also useful if you need to wash the sachet for some reason.

This sachet has a simple envelope closure.

I gave it as a Christmas gift to my mother, but I am going to make some more similar items for my Etsy shop.

Next project for Etsy

I just have finished one of my next projects for Etsy - a needlebook. I have never done this kind of things before but it only takes a little more time to make then a pincushion.
I used one of my favourite cotton fabrics for the outer side, I adore these roses.

First post

Bienvenidos a mi blog!
En este espacio compartiré con vosotros mis proyectos e ideas.

Nací en Moscú (Rusia). Soy ingeniera informática, trabajo en Barcelona y vivo en el Maresme. Dedico todo mi tiempo libre a pasear, hacer jardinería y manualidades.

Me gusta bordar, coser, hacer ganchillo, punto, pintar acuarelas y crear joyas. No me considero una experta en cada cosa, pero me divierte mucho probar nuevas técnicas y materiales.

Gracias!

Welcome to my new blog!
I will use it as a way to share my projects and inspirations with others.

I was born in Moscow, Russia. I am a software engineer living in Barcelona. I work only half-time so I have got plenty of free time and I spend every minute of it doing some type of handiwork.

I adore embroidery, sewing, crocheting, knitting, painting watercolors and making jewelry. I don't pretend to be an expert at any of it, but I do enjoy attempting new skills and techniques. Everything handmade has always been my passion!

Hope you enjoy this blog!
