I just wanted to show you this...

I made this Russian Dolls (Matryoshka) about a year ago. I just bumped into these pictures and wanted to share them with you all.

I hope you like them ;)........... xoxo

I love Felt!!!

Yes, I've said it a million times, it's just... so...so fun, so easy, so colorful... I can't get enough of it... so, here's another picture of one of my..... how do you think I should call these things? since I started making them I imagined then hung on the wall, with a delicate frame, right? So, is it wall art?, is it a tableau? (That's how futuregirl called it once :) and is sounds sophisticated, me like it ^_^. Well, I liked it after I looked it up on a dictionary, my english is very informal :\ ... Anyway, I want to show you today another felt thingy (we'll make up a name later, let me know if you come up with something ;) Now, can you guess what it is???

It's another Owl !!! This time I added some beads for the flowers... do you like it?

Well, I've been working on another piece, it's a set of 4 this time... I'll be showing you soon a preview... If you haven't tried working with felt you should, you'll love it!!!

I'm leaving now, the final game will start soon... ;) Go Spain!!!!

Felt WIP Update

First of all let me tell you...I'm not very excited about this project :\ , I feel like something's missing... After moving the pieces around and around, cutting some others, adding more leaves I can't figure out what is missing. Any idea?... I love the theme though, It's cute :) Oh! and I've been looking for a frame for it too, I wanna have a piece of white cardboard around it, and then a white frame. I want it to be delicate, but I still think the piece is a little small to just frame it right on the edge of the felt... you know what I mean? I guess I'm going to have to wait until I have the frame to see if brings that little touche I feel is missing... Take a look...

Ok, I want to let you know (I know the sun is missing haha) Don't worry I didn't go blind stitching the leaves... Keep looking... Isn't it missing something? This is at the beginning, I cut everything, and lay it down, move it around until I like it.

Here is the bigger branch...I loved the little nest!!! and the dimension and texture on the leaves... You can see the stitching on the following pictures, I made some curly things to make it look like wood...

A cloud close up... I really like this picture, the cloud looks soft and fluffy...

This is the final result, I just thought I could have some flowers around somewhere... Hmmm, that could be a good idea... So, I'm not gonna call this WIP a finished project, I would make some changes, well, not changes I would add some other elements :) ... I think I'm liking what's on my head right now, I'm gonna go to bed now, and maybe tomorrow I'll show you what I made...

Thanks for stopping by... Enjoy...

A little WIP

Hello again!!! I'm writing this post while watching the game Germany vs. Australia, just so you know, I'm not a big soccer fan, but I like to watch the World Cup because EVERYBODY talks about it and all this things happen, they hit each other, they fall, they dance, so I kinda get into the game and sort of like it. Does it makes any sense? I don't know but this is a good game today.


Ok, let's get to crafty business now, I'm so excited about my new felt project!!! here's a little sneak peak...

Here I'm brain-storming I'm not really sure what I want to do, but I like the leaves. (Germany just scored and my neighbors are going crazy hehe)...

Stitching, stitching, stitching ....

Here's one branch finished! I really liked how the leaves came out, it was a little tricky to sew them together because they're tiny pieces, I would say that each leaf is about 2/8" mmm, almost a centimeter long :\ ... I'll be working on it this afternoon and post an update post tomorrow... :) Thanks again for visiting :)

Enjoy!!!

Felt... a colorful, easy, pretty little thing

Hello Again!!! I want to show you more of my felt finished projects. I love working with felt, is easy to cut, easy to sew, and there are many colors you can mix. It can be almost like drawing, you draw something that is in your mind, then cut the felt, and sew the pieces together, as easy as that. I'll post some more free patterns to help you get started and to give you a starting point.

I keep the sheets folded in half, so they won't wrinkle. The smaller pieces, I keep in a bag, usually they're so small that they wouldn't fold, I try to use as much as I can.

Oh! This picture is horrible! :\ but I wanted to show you how I did this piece. I folded a blank page in four and started cutting curly figures, then I opened the page and this "design" was the result. Something as simple as that can make a pretty and interesting project. See? I told you it was it's easy.

This is one of my favorites, it's simple and colorful.

Here's another example, just mixed some colors, I used different stitches, some sequins and Voila! :)

I hope you liked this post. You can use it as inspiration, sketch something you like, cut the felt and start making your next project!!! :)

Enjoy!

Make Your Own Stitchy Art...

The owl pattern is done!!!... but, because I'm new at blogging, I'm not really sure if I can upload the PDF file on Blogger. For what I researched I can't :( I will be posting the file on jpg format. If there's any problem with it I will be happy to email the PDF file.

If you want to copy this image to your computer it's fine. But again, if you have any problem, comment bellow to see how can I help.

Ok now, you can use different colors, you can also use fabric or any other embellishment you like. It's really just the first step to start your piece, from here you're free to make whatever you like...

I hope you enjoy making this stitchy project, with no hurries and a hot cup of coffee by your side :)

Enjoy!!!

Hand Sewn Felt...

Hello again!!! I have some pictures of my felt pieces. Like I said before, I like sewing, well hand sewing, I'm dying to learn how to use the sewing machine I just don't have one yet. I know how to make straight lines, but all the little pieces moving and the threat, to tell you the truth *whispering* it scares me a little. I know it's not that hard I just haven't tried it on my own.

I will be posting the patterns for these pieces. Just stay tuned to check my free patterns... Enjoy :)

This little heart can be done in any color or any size, just make a nice combination with the colors and find some interesting buttons in any shape to match your felt.

A very simple patter but the little details makes it interesting :)

A little owl, again!!! I told you I liked owls... :)

I wanted to make something a little different a little more abstract...

I hope you like them :) I'm working on the patterns so in a few days I'll be posting them...
