One more purchase and some polka dots

Never is too late for repentance and reparation. Charles Dickens

Happy day 8!

First of all, some more polka dots sheets. The more I look at the entire collection, more I like them all! I have to find projects that use them. Any ideas? I love to see what you've done with some of my polka dots sheets!

Happy day 7!

Today, taking advantage of a Saturday, I will devote myself to pick up the house, and finish the sheets of polka dots that I have pending. Even I know nothing of the owners of the site and then publish the rest of this week. If they ever communicate with me and ask me to remove it or change it, I'll do it. But I accumulates a lot of work... ^___^ I hope you like!

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 voilĂ ! 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!

2012 First craft purchases!

Intelligence is not much time could represent the role of the heart. François de la Rochefoucauld

Happy day 4!

Today was a busy day of shopping online! I had the whole month of December accumulating items in my Etsy Cart, and I was reaching the limit of 99 items that allows ... So I have been rational, I have raised the total budget for my purchases, and I've been discarding items that do not really need to leave a final list of 20 items to a budget of $ 80. In total I have 6 orders to various shops on Etsy, I have looking forward to it all will be my own Christmas present! (In Spain the tradition of giving gifts, especially children, is not Christmas Day December 25, but celebrated the feast of Epiphany on January 6, when it is assumed that the Magi from the East came to Bethlehem to make their gifts to baby Jesus. Things of cultural differences ...) I bought several jewelry supplies, a few stamps, ink pads for stamping, wrapping cellophane bags for selling my creations on Etsy, a cute pencil & supply bag, a super cute notepads, and a collection of tools called Sew Easy used to perforate paper and card as well as decoration for embroidering. I wish I could buy some more things, but because I live in Spain and shipping costs are a little expensive to me, my budget has not given more. As soon as I get all the packages I promise to show you some pictures of my new material!

Happy Dot Year!

We must live as we think, if not just by thinking as we have lived. Paul Charles Bourget

Happy day 3!

Today I'm excited! I discovered the web I needed to finish the polka dots hooked. I love to create pages full of colorful polka dots, I find it fun and addictive in equal parts. And today I found inspirational tool I needed. I discovered Seeds Design, the web of an artist named Jessica lover of color. In the Palette Search section you can find some pictures precious inspire you to capture a beautiful color palette and lovable. And I liked it so much, I decided to do a few sheets of polka dots using these color palettes. But I'm having a lot of work to cope! As I am an obsessive perfectionist, could not settle for making a single page for each palette, would be too easy! So I made 5 different combinations with 5 colors from the palette. And once I finished those first 5 pages, I liked so much that I thought it might be nice to keep a project in parallel with Jessica. (I'll tell her the idea, and I hope she looks good ... Since my versions will be free downloadable printables, and always with a corresponding link to her site ... I cross my fingers that she like my work!) So I decided to start the year and the blog, adding my vision of those wonderful color palettes that Jessica created daily. I had to choose 5 colors of each of the 4 pallets often publish daily Jessica in Design Seeds web (sometimes her pallets have 5 or 6 colors, but for my pages with 5 color polka dots and, therefore, 5 combinations of color, I thought that was enough daily work, as they account for 20 page layouts every day!). So I leave the combinations of these first 3 days of 2012, I've created with all my love for lovers of polka dots, and for all those crafters who want to use on their personal projects. Hope you like them!

Happy day 2!

Yesterday I also promised a surprise... Who do not love polka dots? I am in love with this simple pattern, almost as much as the sailor stripes. But I don't know what strange reason, it is very difficult to find online color backgrounds of polka dots on an acceptable resolution for printing and use in all types of crafts. And that is why I decided to create a collection of sheets of polka dots! Now hang on 1st pack, with a wide range of 30 color combinations unitone. Hope you like!
