beep beep yay

Thank you all, once again, for your comments and support. I took your advice, I deleted the hateful comment and the post I wrote to let you know about what happened.

I'm not good at keeping things to myself, I learnt a while ago that is very bad for my health. 

I hope you don't mind that the good words you wrote there are gone too.

We are about to move to another house and next week start half term holidays.

I will take a pause from blogging and from other things too, to think about life, the universe and everything ;^) but I still  be visiting your blogs.

I leave you with these two happy friends here, Anita has made a few days ago 

(she's more artist than me although she doesn't have a degree!).

Needless to say, future anonymous hateful comments will be deleted from now on (that doesn't mean I don't accept criticism if it's constructive) the "anonymous good people" out there can sign with their name or use the name/url option (which can be linked to an email account if you don't have a website or a blog).

See you soon.... a bientot .....arrivederci....

update

My shop has been updated.

I decided to add a "support my crafts button", given what happened recently

I hope to see more of these "support buttons" in many more crafters/artists/ bloggers
shops or blogs.

A big thank you and a hug to all of you that cheered me up today, came here with good intentions and shared a bit of love.

Love Power, the power of a flower :^)

day 3 and 4 and 5

Now that blogger works again (that was weird isn't it?) I can show you what I did on day 3 and 4:

a pair of bloomers with beautiful Nani Iro fabric and a cotton top (which I had to do twice because I didn't use a pattern, stubborn me).

This evening I'm going to be lazy, I will watch a film instead and precisely this one.
Have a nice weekend.
*The shop will be updated next week (hopefully).

day two

On day two (or rather evening) I made a top and a pair of trousers with the gingham fabric left from the dress.
Today I will try to make a skirt and a pattern for a dress, see how it goes.
I quite enjoy the fact that it's a challenge otherwise I wouldn't have done it at this pace...
eeek I must be crazy!

* the fabric I used for the top is Anna Griffin "Fifi&Fido collection" ( I guess this is Fifi).

Crocheting two new pillows for the shop and a blanket for Anita,
started the KCWC with a gingham dress for school, slept very little!

The first roses appeared in the garden are bright pink and smell...
well, like roses ; ^)

I'm glad I saw them because we are packing and moving (once again)
to another house in about 3 weeks.

I will add new things in my shop later this week. 
Find some pink clouds in Wiebke shop.

*update:

Although I did a statement a while ago about not making the clouds any more,

here I am, selling them again, occasionally.

That's because I had people asking for them since then.

I don't have a "proper job" at the moment, I decided that given my current situation,
it is better to look after my daughter.
I put the stuff I do on sale in my shop to support my love for crafting and this blog too
and eventually, who knows, to create "my dream job".

Hope it won't hurts the feelings of anyone if I changed my mind about it.

Thank you,

Alessandra

:D

I can't believe is May already, today we are celebrating May Day here in England.

Anita needs new Summer clothes and a new quilt for her bed.I will use some Liberty fabric and Japanese pattern books. She grew up a lot lately and she has upgraded to a "big" bed (of course the cot bed, who became a little bed, was too small for her and she was keep banging her head... poor!).

So, to make this task less solitary, I joined KCWC project (kids clothes week challenge) found through mikodesign.
(The nice basket is from here)

Papier Mache # 7 out now

I quite like Lari Washburn sketchbooks  and designs.
