Stitch Markers and Ecofriendly Packaging

Dopo le scatole handmade, questa settimana ho pensato ad un altro modo carino e sempre eco-friendly per confezionare i miei stitch markers.

This week I tought another cute and eco-friendly way to packing up my stitch markers.





Ho trovato questo modello di Gift Box Bag e poi le ho decorate con quello che sarà il mio loghino Ecologico per quanto riguarda le confezioni.

I found this Gift Box Bag template, I've printed it on recycled paper, decorate it with my eco logo and here is it, Cute, don't it?



Adesso andiamo ad addormentare il pupo!
A presto, Giusy

Well, it's time to nurse the baby!
Talk to you soon!!

Featuring my alter ego: Poshpiedesigns

E' incredibile come vola il tempo! E' passato un mese dall'ultimo post e non me ne sono nemmeno resa conto. Ovviamente il mio intento di scattare 1 foto al giorno è miseramente fallito, dal momento che mi sono fermata a metà gennaio... Vabbè pazienza, sarà per il prossimo anno, intanto mi sto godendo il mio essere mamma a tempo pieno e questa è la cosa più bella del mondo.

It 'amazing how time flies! It 'been a month since last post and I have not even realized it. Obviously my intent to take 1 photo a day has failed miserably, since I stopped in mid-January ... Oh well patience will be for next year, meanwhile I am enjoying my being a full-time mom and this is the greatest thing in the world.

Con il passare dei mesi la mia sicurezza cresce ed anche i ritmi si fanno più scanditi e precisi, con un figlio bisogna pensare ed agire in multi-tasking :)

Over the following months my confidence grows and even the rhythms are more precise and scanned with a child must think and act in multi-tasking:)

Anche se il tempo è pochissimo e nell'attesa di tirare fuori nuovamente la macchina da cucire, ho deciso di ritagliarmi ugualmente un momento creativo durante la giornata ed è per questo che Vi presento qui il mio alter ego:

Although time is very short and waiting to pull out the sewing machine again, I decided to carve out an equally creative moment during the day and that is why I present here my alter ego:

Cosa potete trovare? I miei schemi a punto croce e i famosi baby booties, gli stitch markers e qualche altro accessorio per chi ama fare craft. :) A presto!

What can you find? My cross-stitch patterns baby booties, the stitch markers and some other accessory for people who love to craft. :) Soon!

Cosmetics pouch and Tea cozy

Ieri mattina ho deciso che i miei cosmetici avevano bisogno di una pochette più grande. Finora ho tenuto il trucco per gli occhi (ombretti, il mascara, matite etc.) in una pochette e l'occorrente per le guance e la bocca (pennelli, terra, fard, rossetti, etc.) in un'altra bustina. Succedeva che magari una busta era in camera da letto e l'altra pochette nel bagno, oppure l'eyeliner anzichè essere riposto nella bustina del trucco occhi, finiva in quell'altra... uff... Così mi sono detta: Fanne una grande da poter tenere tutto insieme. :) Fatto ed ecco il risultato:

Yesterday morning I decided that my cosmetics needed much more room. So far I've kept the eye cosmetics (eyelashes, mascara, pencils etc.) in a pochette and materials for cheeks and lips (brush, fard, lipsticks, etc..) into another bag. But often happens that an envelope is in the bedroom and the other pochette in the bathroom, or the eyeliner instead of being placed in the eye makeup's bag, went in that other ... uff ... So I said to myself: Make a bigger one to be able to keep everything together. :) I've done it and this is the result:










Adesso è tardi, ma domani Vi racconterò di questo, per chi l'ho fatto, e del bellissimo incontro che ho avuto oggi con Cindy, la mia amica olandese che ho avuto il piacere di conoscere lo scorso anno, per questa sera è tutto.

it's late and I'm tired, but tomorrow I will tell you about the Tea cozy you can see below and the wonderful meeting I had with Cindy today morning, my Dutch friend that I knew last year.

It's Winter and TEA TIME!

Winter is arrived in Europe, finally! And there is nothing more comfortable of a cup of tea to warm the soul and heart.

This holder is a cute way to carry your tea bags in your purse or travel bag, so you can taste your favorite tea flavor in every moment even if you're out of home!

This holder is great for traveling and you can even stash some of your favorite tea bag and sugar bag in there for whenever you need it.

They're back to school, we're back to work!

School is beguns today. My boyfriend Daughter is 13 this year, and begins the third class of the secondary school. I'm really impressed how they change quickly at this age, only last year she seems like a child, this year she's a little beautiful girl that's going at the last year of secondary school, and next year is already at the Highschool.

As they go to school, we come back to our things. So, I have to share some news.

Do you remember about the Diary 2009 Project?! Well the diary is already printed and turned out great, it's available for purchase at the Fantazya site, you can order the book, CD or CD by email.

Iphone 3G vs Blackberry Bold

VS

I love them all!! Ok, when 2 month ago I knew that the Iphone 3G were coming out in Italy, I would have bought it immediately, but I couldn't had afford it, then my fever goes down and I sayd to myself that I will buy it for Xmas. But now, to be onest and say the truth, My heart is beating for the new BlackBerry Bold, and can't wait to have it on my hand. A custom request make me think about those great new smarthphones, both are slim and whatever model you choose you wouldn't scratch them for any reason. So, here is my own answer to this delicate question: Protect your Smarthphone with those great sleeves, and If you love your new IPhone 3G, or you've got the new BlackBerry Bold, you would love to have a slipcase to prevent scratches, but you maybe don't want to add much bulk to the smartphone.

The Padded Sleeve keeps it flat and safely, you can easily put it into your shirt or jeans pocket. Comes in one size for a perfect fit on your Standard or iPhone 3G, also fit Blackberry Bold.

Available in shop now.






This one is the first I made to test the pattern (my own design), and I make it a little bit bigger to fit my boyfriend's Blackberry 8700G.

customized again!

I really love to make my customer happy, and sometimes I'm inspired by they're suggestion, for this one the customer has asked the cover without the pen slot, and I must say that this is even more beautiful! Thank you!

Lazy Lazy Summer...

I imagine that someone will ask where I am... Oh, it's very hard to go back to old habits when he made an idyllic vacation, full of sun, sea and laziness! (sooner or later I'll show you photos of Riccione). Back home in the city but I have not abandoned the climate holiday, we spent a few days in Croatia and Slovenia, yet beaches!

I also had some discomfort. A bad conjunctivitis kept me away from the PC in recent weeks and still not healed completely, Tuesday I will go to the eye doctor, unfortunately my sight is getting worse.
I've got some new customer on Dawanda, and thanks to one of them, I make a new format of the Moleskine Notebook's cover. This one fit the Large size: 13 x 21 cm (5 x 8¼") Moleskine Nootebook, both soft or bound covered.

Btw, I'm here again, but I'm in the lazy mode about since September 1st :)
Have a nice Mid-August day.
