Difficult times

Life is really funny sometimes! Things change and people also change - I've changed, that's for sure!
It may be difficult to believe, but I quitted my classes. I simply didn't like it (and this said by someone who used to love teaching).

Well, I'm back to be a full-time mother, which is now for me the best job in the world.
I got back to my crafts and decided to make a little basket full of little sweeties that can become wedding or baptism gifts.

Wedding gifts and envelope for the invitation (all made of felt):



Baptism gifts:


Key rings that can be baptism or wedding gifts:



And here is the complete basket:

Back to school!

I'm thrilled! I'm back to work after 5 years of staying at home. So it is, I was invited to teach English to young children at a primary/elementary school and it's good to be back.
I will have less time to dedicate to my crafts, but this doesn't mean I won't make them (no way)!

Here you have a bag and a little pouch bag I recently made to offer my sister-in-law for her birthday.

Work, work, work...

I'm back! I have so much work at the moment that I haven't got a minute to come here. Sorry to everyone who came here and found nothing new (:
Here are photos of some of the things I've been doing:

Hair clips holder with a pink flower.

New hair clips.

Lots of key rings.

And my first necklace.

School has just started

Today school started for my little girls, so I made new bags for them to take to school with their snacks.
They loved them!




Meanwhile I also made this little fabric pouch bag.



I hope now that school has started I will have more time for my crafts.

Little pouch bags

Last week I was asked to make a little pouch bag. But nobody said in what colour, so I made three different ones. This way she can choose the one she prefers...





And here there are some mobiles that are already with their owners :)

A new beginning

I love September!
For me September always meant the begining of a new year (probably due to the several years I spent as a student and as a teacher).

So I am beginning the "new year" with some super sweet hair clips. These ones in an extra large size.
I hope you like them.





Happy New Year!

Ikea handbag

Last week was dedicated to sewing (I really missed it :)
I had planned to sew an handbag , something simple to take to the market with me. So I took a piece of fabric I had bought at Ikea (really cheap by the way) and made the bag.
I think that it is really good for a first try.
The inside is also made of another Ikea fabric (I have to admit I am a fan!) and it closes with a magnetic snap.




And I still managed to get time to sew another cushion cover for my living room...
