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.

Cambiamenti -- Changes...

Viste le statistiche del blog e assodato che la maggioranza dei miei lettori proviene dall'Italia, da oggi la lingua primaria sarà l'italiano, manterrò ugualmente la lingua inglese per i lettori degli altri paesi.

From today onwards I blog in Italian language, because, after a look at google stats, I realized that the most of my reader are from Italy. I also manteining the english language for visitor from other countries.

Innanzitutto vi mostro la mia panciolina, domani sarò a 13+2 il che vuol dire che entro nel 4° mese di gravidanza. Yuppy!!

Here is My belly, isn't it sweet?! tomorrow I will be at the begins of 4° month!


Ho da poco ripreso a cucire a macchina, poco al giorno, non più di mezzora a dir la verità, per non stancarmi e non creare danni visti i problemi iniziali, ma ho ripreso anche a fare patchwork, che avevo quasi dimenticato e grazie ad una mia amica che è bravissima e dalla quale ho avuto questa meravigliosa borsa sfrangiata con il gufo, ho deciso di farne una simile, con l'applicazione in feltro di lana, ispirato ad una realizzazione di Marianne di the cinnamon patch, per la figlia del mio compagno. Mi piace un sacco come è venuta!

I have recently back to the sewing machine, just a little day, no more than half an hour to tell the truth, to not harm the baby, given the initial problems; I also picked up to do patchwork, I had almost forgotten and thanks to a My friend Irene, who is very good and from who I had this wonderful fuzzy owl bag, I decided to make a similar one, with the wool felt application, inspired by a realization of Marianne of the cinnamon patch, for my daughter's boyfriend. I like a lot how it is coming out!






In ritardo di una settimana, posto le foto del meraviglioso regalo ricevuto per lo scambio di pasqua con il mio teem di Etsy. Come per Natale, anche questa volta Mitsy ha organizzato il Secret Easter Bunny, ed il mio "Coniglietto" è stata Meltemsem!
Mentre io sono stata il coniglietto di Huismus, visita questo post per vedere cosa le ho inviato!

On retard of one week, finally I'm going to show you the wonderful gift I received from Meltemsem for the Secret Easter Bunny organized by Mitsy of Artmind! Thank you so much Meltem, you spoiled me a lot!!
I was the Secret bunny of Huismus, she blogged about what she received from me here in this post.



un paio molto simili ai miei orecchini sono disponibili nel suo negozio!!
A similar pair of earrings are still available on her shop!! check it out!


Infine per restare in tema patchwork, la scorsa settimana ho cominciato una nuova avventura, ho disegnato e testato dei blocchi a paper piecing per la confezione di un miniquilt! I blocchi si trovano già a partire da questa settimana sul sito ufficiale di Giusypatch come blocco della settimana, con il titolo Paper Piecing Houses. Segui le "notizie" sulla barra a destra del sito!. Il mio è già imbastito e pronto per la quiltatura. :) Sono fiera di me!

Finally in order to remain patchwork theme, last week I started a new adventure, I have designed and tested some paper piecing blocks for making up a miniquilt! The blocks are already given by this week on the official site of Giusypatch as a block of the week, with the title Paper Piecing Houses. Follow the "notizie" on the right bar menu of the site. Mine is already basted and ready to be quilted :) I am proud of me!



Ultima cosa... devo mostrarvi questi: bottoni e spilli ricevuti da Paola di Puntini Puntini ... deliziosi!!!

in the meantime, the last month I rested a lot, I'm working on a crib quilt for the baby and I do some hand stitching. I resumed one of my old favorites hobby: quilting! so I made 2 new items for the shop, a pincushion and a patchwork needle book.
This one made the Etsy front page on March 31!

I started my 2009 with Tea and Cupcakes

I started my 2009 with many good intentions personal for me and my family and I have also taken up the good habit of crafting.
Some time ago in this post, I talked about hand carved stamp! I like a lot and I also like them, I enjoy very much. I created these cups and this Cupcake to personalize the card accompanying the Travel Tea Bags, which have their certificate with a theme poem attached.




2008 ended with a great December and I want to thanks for it! I have also always been very careful to spoil the recipient of my creations, and this coming year I want to continue on this road! In fact, I have a give away for those who grab a moleskine's notebook cover at my Dawanda or Etsy: these colorful handmade notebooks combined with moleskine's cover!! Isn't it nice? This you see here is going to a happy customer.











That's all for now!

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.
