Ahí van unas cuantas creaciones. Primero, decir que acabé mi bolso para llevar la labor. No es porque lo he hecho yo, pero quedó fabuloso. Con la ayuda de mi profe Yolanda de Broches, se consiguen hacer maravillas.
I think April was a very productive month. Easter long weekend was a great help because it gave us the opportunity to do many things. We went for a walk in a lovely place and also I was able to find time to sew. how amazing a sunny day is sewing on my balcony with a cool drink!
Here are some of my creations:
First of all I finished my sewing bag. Maybe it is not very correct to say it looks amazing, but it does! ;o). With the support of my teacher Yolandafrom "Broches" it is very easy to make fabulous things!
He seguido con los cumples. En este caso les tocó a dos peques, María y Fede. FELICIDADES, peques!!
I also continued with some birthday presents. In this case for two babies: Maria who is just one ans Fede who is 4. Happy birthday to you! :o))
Mi tía María se acaba de jubilar (que suerte!) y le gusta mucho viajar, así que decidí hacerle un porta documentos. el diseño es de Anni Downs, aunque cambié la combinación de las telas.
My aunt Maria is about to retire and she loves travelling, so I decided to give her a document case as a present. This is an Anni Downs design, but a chose the fabrics.
Y, casualidades de la vida, buscando los cierres para el porta documentos, encontré una boquilla de bolso preciosa y una compañera de vicio, Concha me explicó en 10 minutos como hacer un bolso precioso. así que, pensando en qué regalar a mi amiga Marce, probé y creo que quedó fabuloso. además es reversible!!.
When I was looking for two catches for the document case, I bumped into Concha, may friend Clara's mum. Concha is a patchwork expert and makes amazing things. So she showed me how to make a quick lovely bag. She took just ten minutes to explain how to make it. What's more it's reversible! look, isn't is gorgeous?
También me hicieron un encargo. Otros Manolos para Mecía. Y es que los Manolos se llevan un montón! ;o)
A jealous workmate of mineasked me for a "Manolos t-shirt" for her daughter Mencía. I changed the design because, as you know a pair of Manolos is exclusive and there are no two pairs alike!
Y he retomado la colchita del pequeño Joaquín, que a este paso va a dejar de ser pequeño. Ya he terminado el cojín que luego contendrá la colcha. con la colcha espero progresar este puente de Mayo.
I carried on with little Joaquin's quilt as well. I've just finished the cushion and hopefully I will finished the quilt in May.
Y por último, un regalito de comunión para Moni, la amiguita de mi hija Victoria. Es un joyero que he craquelado en toda la superficie externa.
And to finish off, I'll show my daughter's best friend's communion present. It is a jewellery bow. On the outside I applied a technique to give it a vintage appearance.
El interior es mas sencillo. Solo falta la dedicatoria de Victoria para su amiga.
The inside looks more simple. All it needs now is a dedication note from Victoria for her friend.
Y también hemos incluido el primer "huesped" del joyero. Una pulsera con un angelito.
And appart from that, we need something to put in it. It is a bracelet with an angel charm.
... y terminamos Abril. Ahora se nos viene el puente de Mayo. Espero hacer muchos progresos.
Besos
And that's all folks. hope May will be full of projects.
Love
Moni
