Sewing Sunday

Hello my Friends!!!
How are you going?
It's Monday again...the week end unfortunately went away so quickly...
But...I've had a very fun Sunday...
My friend Luciana come here and we spent the whole day sewing these super cute origami bags...

They were really so fun to make...we chose happy and brilliant fabrics and this is the result...

We started sewing one...then...the second one...and it seemed that we really can't stopped sewing them...

Every fabrics we chose gave them a different look and it was amazing to see how they turned out...
They really make pretty gifts...we can fill them with lots of things...make up, accessories, threads needles and fabrics, biscuits, candies...

I think they are perfect for any occasion...change the fabris and fill them with goodies for make a very personalised gift...

We started to fill our Xmas box with these bags and we intend make lots of other cute things from now till December so...when Xmas will come...we will be ready!!!

It's never too early to start with Xmas gifts isn't it? LOL!!!

And finally...yesterday...when my friend left my house...I finished a project that I've started mmm...I really can't remember when but...at least 3 or 4 years ago...

It was another Sunday sewing day and along with my friend we sewed this super cute box...

I sewed it all around and just leave the bottom to sew...

But...this bottom...took me soooooo long  to be done....LOL

Now..it's done and I'm proud of myself LOL!!!

I have tons of other UFO's to sew...we will see what I'll do with them...
So...I wish you all a great week and,,,I'd love to hear from you about what you are sewing or crafting...

My Scraps' Box

Hello my Friends!!!!
How are you today?
Here the weather is...grey, cloudy and we have tons of angry mosquitos all around...
Let me say that... I HATE them but probably...they LOOOOOVE me...
I have a gazillion of mosquitos bites every where and this is just driving me crazy...GRRRR!!!
If you have some suggestions to prevent or to "survive" to mosquitos bites...PLEASE...let me know!!!!

Anyway...today I would love to show you my treasury box, aka my box full of fabrics scraps...

Isn't it amazing how many scraps you collect during years?
Every project you make.... produces new scraps...LOL!!!!
And...I don't know what about you but...I can not throw away even the smallest piece so...now...I've ended up with this...LOL!!!!

Today I decided to make something with my scraps so...I selected few of them, the biggest pieces...

Pressed them...

And cut them in 2.5" squares

Now they are ready to be pieced in a colorful quilt!!!

To be honest...I think I have enought material cutted for a couple of quilts...

I'm going to piece them in nine patch blocks, with a neutral background.

And, as I'm going to make a lap quilt, I would like to try to quilt it with the "As you Go" method, I've never tried it before...

Did you ever try it?

Do you have scraps?

And...what are you going to make with them?

I'd love to hear from you!!!

I wish you all a lovely Sunday!

Dany.

Feeling...Pinky!!!!

Hello my Friends!!!
how are you today?
It's a hot Saturday here and...a rainstorm is coming...
But, this morning, when I got up, the sun was beautiful in the blue sky...
So, this morning was one of these morning that...I FEEL PINKY...
I looooove pink, it's my favourite color!!!!!
So, I decided to wear my...pink mini-dress:

Take my pink bag...I love it...so pink, so soft and so roomy...

Wear my new pink earrings...and pink sunglasses...

All completed with my fresh pink manicure...LOL...

Sometimes...a simple color, can help to add a bit of sweetness to our lives...

Which is your favourite color?

Which color make you feel better?

Love, Dany.

Enjoying wonderful weather

Hello My Friends!!!!

It's Monday again...GRRR...and a new and busy week started...
But...we can keep our Sunday's memories with us for all the week...

Yesterday the weather was awesome here and...so it's today...
So we went to our mountains...
The scenery was gorgeous!!!

The lake was sooooo blue...and so relaxing...
But the sun was so hot so...I've enjoied a little walk around it...throught the trees...

Surely it's not usual to find a wonderful day like yesterday...especially during the week end...LOL!!!
So we enjoied every single minute of it...

Live music was fun too!!!!

The sun was hot but...there was a summer breeze that was...perfect!!!

What about you?

What did you do yesterday?

Have a wonderful week!!!!!

Love, Dany

One to keep and...one to give

Hello my Friends!!!
How are you?
Are you ready for the week end?
finally my working week is ended and Friday night is my favourite time of the week at all...still so far from Monday and...still the whole week end to live!!!!

I finished my crochet placemat and I love the way it turned out...I love this neutral color...it's perfect for all season...

So...this one is to keep...I made it for myself...just for the love of making it!

Now...I'm looking for another fun crochet project to start!!!!!
I've finally got my sewing machine back...YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
It went away for just one week but...believe me...it seemed a year for me!!! LOL!!!!
So...I made a gift to give...

I made this cute and so useful fabric clutch for my friend Nico's Birthday!

I used 2 fat quartes of coordinating batiks and this is the result.

This is really so useful and I'm going to make one for myself too now that I've developed the pattern!

It's perfect for hold all these little "girls' secret things"...
What do you think?
Hope she'll like it!

So...what are you doing?

A break day

Hello my Friends!!!
How is your week end going?
Mine is going great!!!
Yesterday finally...we had a day off and we went to the sea!!! YAY!!!!

I really needed a day far from here, a sunny weather, relax and fun and...nothing else...

Mom and Dad came with us so we celebrated Mother's day there...

It was sunny and warm but...not too much hot...perfect!!!

I also did a bit of shopping...a pair of earrings, a cute bag...but mostly I loved the weather...
Probably because here we are having always bad weather...
Right now is raining and...it's so cold again...terrible...

It's amazing how flowers and trees are "Spring-y" there...

Ohhhhh...we had a wonderful lunch...

Fishes, fishes and fishes...
I have to say that...I don't like particularly fishes...I'm more than a pasta and pizza girl...LOL!!!
But...these grilled fishes were...GORGEOUS!!!!

Sometimes...few hours far from home could be really...lovely!!!! :O)
Today...as I said before...it's cold and rainy so...perfect for stay inside in my sewing room and...create something new...
This surely is my favourite kind of week end...
What's yours?
And...last but not least...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO MY MOM AND...ALL THE MOM AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!
Love, Dany.
