New pattern on process: Photo objective cover

Happy day 43!

This is the beginning of a new pattern. The idea came to me, as natural and inevitable, as I finished the pattern of the Birthday Cake. Seeing the inside of the lid, had the same shape as the lens of a camera! So I noted in my list of projects.

These are my first tests. The truth is that the first, on left, was too flat, without any grace. So I decided to do the steps that would have a real goal. And although it was pretty good, but this second test was something that ended not convince me..

Bracelets ready!

Happy day 41!

Finally, after much work, to do and undo the bracelet several times, I managed to create the bracelet I had in mind! In the end I filled them with plastic tube, to keep the donut-shaped so as not to deform when you wear them. This is the small production I've done so far.

Happy day 37! And happy 33 birthday to me!

This morning I got up late because I got no sleep well last night. I think I'm getting a cold. I've been all day with a terrible headache. :( So I've decided not to go to French class this afternoon, not to catch cold and get worse, but I still had the will and I've gotten into the kitchen for a while. In the end I made ​​some mini pies savory. Truth is that they are all an experiment, and have not been too bad (I can vouch for this, as they have been my dinner today).

Happy day 31!

Today has been a gray day, and I couldn't go out and take pictures for the photoshoot from this week. Luckily yesterday, returning to buy the kittens, the sun came out for a while and I do a few photos. Although the morning there is not much activity in my neighbourhood. I hope these next few days to go to the park and the library and the promenade, and new city hall area. I live in the center of town, so I have more shops close neighbours. And the teacher remarked that she did not want only photos of general shots, but wants we build scenes, a dialogue in each photo, to convey something. And I assure you it's very difficult! People do not like that make photos to them. So while I'm polishing my technique to get pictures, I will continue trying to capture those scenes on the sly. Of all the photos of yesterday, only these I like. Do you like them?

Year of the Dragon - New amigurumi pattern in process!!

(Again I apologize for posting so late my last posts, my camera battery failed and I had to go editing the pending posts yesterday and today. Thank you for your understanding. For me it was really hard not to publish the posts, only because I haven't the images ready.)

The opportunity must be created, do not expect it to arrive. Sir Francis Bacon

Happy day 22!


Last days I've been seeing on blogs and facebook, that the whole handcraft community celebrates the Chinese New Year, with objects of all kinds, but especially dragons! This year is the Year of the Dragon, and I got the inspiration to make a new amigurumi. But I must admit that I'm having a lot of work to get the pattern. I usually start by the nose when I make animugurumis (animal amigurumis), that is what gives more personality to each toy. And I have taken several tests to find the final form, as I wanted to lower the nose, the belly of the dragon started and then to continue it throughout the body, as in the traditional Chinese dragons drawings I found on internet . What do you think? Do you like the deffinitive muzzle design? I hope to end it tomorrow, to write the pattern, and share it with you!

Happy day 17!

Now suddenly, get together the last two packages. But the truth is they were the 2 orders smaller than I did, so at least I can finish off my monthly shopping with a post worthy. ^___^


In the first package I received 2 more stamps, and 2 small styrofoam circles, because I want to do with a baby crib mobile. I ordered on Etsy's Sunday's Market. Jamie, the seller, is a nice person, and very friendly seller. She also sent me, as a gift, a packet with some cute tags! Thank you very much Jamie! I recommend you take a look from time to time at her store, always has good deals!


And in the second package I received the order I made to SupplyShop1 on Etsy too, in box coming some jumprings of different sizes, 100 plated alligator clips, and 50 ring bases. A store with very reasonable prices!

So busy day!

Happy day 16!

Today I had a stressful day! I spent all morning editing posts of this weekend, tweaking the design of DailyDonut365 printables, correcting some errors of translation found in several of my posts. I lack time to do everything I want! Today I have not even found time to print and mount the notebook of DailyDonut365, to make the test print. As a perfectionist, I like to touch and see the end result of my work, to evaluate and correct my mistakes. Because there is always something to improve, or correct. I have also continued to advance the design of my next DailyNotebooks365. Following my line Sweet Collection, this is Cupcakes! But I must confess that, unlike donuts, illustrations of the basic cupcakes is taking me much longer. In my artwork I like to use simple lines to emulate the effects of volume, light and shadow, but always try to give a very realistic style. So I usually use photographs as the basis for my artwork. These are the 2 designs I have done today. A tough job I am very proud! What do you think? Makes I want to eat them!

Happy day 15!

Ok... So today I wake up early and some nervous... Pass the night dreaming with notebooks! So this morning, with the usual coffee, instead of me to check email and blogs, I have returned to open Freehand. I woke up with the crazy idea of ​​creating a collection of notebooks for daily projects. Why, if I need a notebook format template, that facilitate me the daily work of keeping the project, why others can not have the same need? And hence my idea became transformed, because life is change, there is nothing immutable, or projects (especially mine!).

This is some results of my hard work: two coloring sheets with DailyDonut365 Menu, some cute and delicious postcards, and a sheet of stickers just adorables. You can paint them, using as a basis for making a collage, like postcards, as needleworks guides, to color in Photoshop and then print them, as coloring stickers for your childs, pictures to decorate, and so on. The limit is your imagination! I hope you enjoy! If you want to share your creations, leave a comment with the link. It will be a pleasure to see what you have created!

Excited about new projects! So large entry...

Happy day 14!

Over breakfast, I was checking the feeds of blogs I follow, cheking my email, surfing internet for news... Then I saw the weekly email from Etsy Success, a fantastic article "How-Tuesday: Get (and Keep) Your Creativity Flowing", written by Noah Scalin. In the article, Noah introduces the concept of Project 365, and gives you six big ideas to carry it out, extracted from his new book, "Unstuck: 52 Ways to Get (and Keep) Your Creativity Flowing, at Home, at Work and in Your Studio". Obviously, my curiosity led me to investigate a little more about Noah and his books and projects. I already knew his blog "Skull-A-Day" for almost 2 years. Because I am also a tattoo artist, and that I love the skulls like Noah, had already visited his blog in search of new ideas to inspire me when I made a tattoo design with skulls. What I did not know were his books. I was looking for books online, and although I have not found translated into Spanish, I found in amazon Spain, and I have on my wishlist at the top for my next purchases. I think they have to be very interesting and inspiring, and I hope have them, I need to read them! But this month I've exceeded my budget for purchases. Maybe next month for my birthday.

Happy day 12!

I'm spoiled to receive a package every day... I look like a little girl on Christmas Day! I know exactly what's inside each package, but still I hope continues like opening gifts! I like to take some pictures of all I get before use. Let's see if I get and I take a few pictures of my stored yarn, I have really accumulated a lot of yarns!

Today's package is the order I made to Fred Aldous. At last I have the tool for safety eye toys! And as you can see, the rest of the order are more gadgets that continue to expand my collection. Now I just need to put order in my craftroom, which is my project for the remainder of this week. This if it will be quite a challenge! I've been seeing on the network several articles on organizing and planning craftrooms from various bloggers, and I have a thousand great ideas! But we'll see what comes out. So far today I managed to gather all my craft supplies in my craftroom  (I assure you that I have a lot of work finding all the little things that went loose in every corner of the house), and I ordered the yarns (which has also been a great work!). Tomorrow I finish ordering the little things that are now within a couple of boxes (buttons, sequins, pencils and pens fiber varied, scissors, brushes, paints, needles). I promise that when finished I will make some pictures to show you the result!

Happy days 5 and 6!

Yesterday I could not write, and today I just... Today was the Day of Kings, and I've been quite busy to finish on time the gifts. Before this year, I buy gifts, wrapping et voilà! But this year, with my new project underway, I decided that I had to make. I made a couple of charms for the Mobile and a couple of brooches with my crochet donuts, and 3 painted wooden boxes and decorate customized for their future owners (but not made ​​pictures, I'm that clueless!). Everyone liked them, so they encouraged me to pursue my Etsy shop project.

What I can do is show you pictures of my donuts, which are not finished yet, but you can already see the look that will have... Mmmm! I want eat them all!
