Treasures

Yesssssssssssssssss........... 
Straight from India they´ve come!  



I´ve got a Pukka Components´ Silk and Sparkle pack. The finest silk, organza in many beautiful hues and ...sparkles!  A Button Baubles pack is shown here too. Colors and textures just unbelievable.

I´ve got a pair of nervous hands to get started working with them. A thousand ideas came to my mind when I first saw them. Had to calm down a little before I´d start working!

I´m not sure I´ll use this piece in the project I have in mind. It´s so pretty I´ll show it anyway, though.


As I´ve said, I´ve got treasures.You can have them too. 

There are many items available at Pukka. 
It´s really worth a virtual visit  and a real purchase.  

What a shame! Such beautiful things and a lousy photographer !
Does anybody see a camera strip?

Long time no see!




I´ve been busy selling the apartment where I live while looking for another place to make it home and moving into.

I´ve kept track of your posts but I have not been able to do more than reading them. I´m also sorry for the delay in answering e-mails. I´ll be back soon, I hope. As soon as I can sit and write about the new home and all the sewing I´ll be doing in order to dress it up!

See you all soon!

A tiny little gift...

... for great friends who are building a yellow cottage.



It didn´t take me long to put pieces together but I know they´ll make it last...

Thought Lua might like a new wrap...


... but she was way too cold to give up her favorite one!

It´s been so cold...

... it´s going to snow, people keep saying, with excitement in their voice. It´s going to snow, like it did before, in 1975.

Certainly hope not! We´re not prepared to it and, under the circumnstances,  I´m sure it wouldn´t be fun at all.

I´m lucky I can stay home. I don´t even look outside!

I work at home mainly, so, I´ve just gotten a bit of extra time and work done. Used a few scraps in small, quick and easy sewing projects.

Thought of a colorful towel to warm up the dining room.
It came out like this.


And something very simple to fit an antique silver tray.


I like the contrast!

Simple pleasures
(like a new look to an old tray),
 great joy!

Take a look!


 The sheep are made of old telephones and wires! 
Pay attention to the paws!
The artist´s name is Jean Luc Cronec. 
His work is being shown at the Frankfurt Museum of Communications. 
Quite an insight, isn´t it?
