Today's creations

I am at home because of the weather. Being a south american girl is very difficult when winter is almost knocking on ours doors,...but in the other hand is the perfect time to dive into piles of felt and let the imagination fly. With two christmas events to attend, until now, I am quite keen in shutting myself for the whole week into my den to create new hair accessories. I just started. LOOK!!! :)

This ones are for little girls or little hairs. :) Made with ribbons, felt, a paper flower and duck hairclip 35mm.

 

 Made with ribbons, felt and buttons, alligator hairclip size 60mm.

I hope you like it!

I think they are beautiful!!

Halloween

Inspired by halloween I made this little cute pumpking using a felt ball.
I had loads of work to do and to have a break I made this. I put some sticker using a computer's program.
It was fun, exactly how halloween has to be.

The frog

This bookmark was inspired by a tale. I think it works very well as a bookmark. Very cute too! The idea of a kiss was given by my 10 year-old daughter, she is very creative! :)

Baptism favours

Today's post is a mini rosary made for a little boy who's going to receive his first sacrament.
For having a special meaning for his parents and family I decided to make it using this beautiful crystals with silver beads in between, wich I think is delicate and perfect for the occasion. I'm sure that those receiving the favours will love it. I'm very happy with the result!
Have a look!

Back from holidays in Brazil!!

Hello everybody!


I'm feeling so inspired after being on holidays.
I went to Brazil to visit my wonderful family. I have the most caring and loving family that I could ever wish.
It makes me wonder that anything else matters when you have love and are surrounded by people who you love. These isn't gaps in our hearts... I wished I could stay and not having to say good bye to my mum anymore, but I still have a lot to do here... YES I DO!!! What put an smile on my face when I realised that I will be here for a while were my FRIENDS.

Well there is some of my sunday creations. Little for little girls.

To my friends

We bring you your biggest challenge yet: Bigger than ‘Under the Moon’, bigger even than ‘Homeboy’.....we bring you the handmade fashion and accessories industry!
With the huge resurgence of handmade over the past few years, many people have rediscovered the joy of hand-making and small handmade businesses have been springing up throughout the UK, resulting in a hidden handmade economy. Unfortunately, much of the mainstream public are still unaware of its existence or the fact that there are abundant opportunities to acquire bespoke, unique, quality hand-crafted goods for high street competitive prices.
Websites such as UK Handmade and Handmade and Fabulous seek to address this by bringing handmade to the fore, providing the general public with a portal through which they can discover handmade alternatives to high street products.
We, the designers and makers of handmade goods, work diligently to make and market our products, but we are on the cusp of a new era and we need your guidance to fully exploit the opportunities that await. We need to truly show the mainstream public that handmade is a viable, affordable choice. This means taking handmade into the high street and you, Mary Portas, are the perfect person to help us do that.
Mary we need your help!
