Canvas

I felt in love with canvas project. I saw them in a lot of magazine and I found it fascinating. So I decided to make two for my in-laws for Christmas. I designed a scrapbook page and put in a canvas so it can be display in a wall and not only inside an album. It took a day to have the project done from start to finish, it was ready just in time for us to leave.
I will definitely make few for myself in the near future.

Cuff

I felt in love with cuffs recently and I wanted to make my own. I always save small pieces of fabrics and lace left from my big project and put them in a small basket in my desk, you never know when you need it. So I was finally able to dip in the basket and create this cute cuff.

My Princess

This is one of my daughters. One of my most talented friend took some picture of her and her sister and they come out so beautiful.
This are the picture of my little princess Sophia .

Biscotti

This was a very busy week, my husband was out of town and our two girls were all for myself. It was the perfect week to make cookies too. I told my neighbor I was going to make cookies for her church but I was not expecting it was going to be the week my husband was not at home. Somehow I managed to make 100 cookies and wrap them all.
These are Italian biscotti. Biscotti in Italian is a term for all types of cookies; the ones in the US which are called biscotti are actually called "tarallucci' in Italy. So if you are taking a trip to Italy any time soon do not ask for biscotti thinking they are the kind in the US, because you will get a plate of cookies instead of the tarallucci you are actually wanting.

Altered bags

My mom came all the way from Italy to visit us and his new granddaughter, we had a lot of fun together and she loved so much my altered "Trader Joe" bags than I had to made a couple for her to take back home. She is going to keep one and fill the other with food and wine and give it as a present. I think I will copy her idea and do the same, it will be a cute Christmas basket.

Paper bag album

I always loved to make paper bag album out of lunch bags. It is amazing to be able to create a full album with some brown bags. In this one I wanted to do something with a nostalgic look, I love things than remind me the past . That's why I chose this color scheme for my project and I saw almost all pages with the sew machine. I wanted to stamp on the pages but I noticed too late that the paper I chose was pearled and the ink didn't work on it. I also used lace and ribbons I found around than were left from other project.

Sunday's project

Usually Saturday and Sunday are the two days I can start and finish my project. My husband is at home and can watch the girls wile I play with my crafts. So this week end I altered this bag for wine we bought at Trader's Joe. So next time I will go there I can use my cute bag. I'm planning to make my own grocery bags next.
If you want to know I altered this one, ask in the comment and I will be happy to explain you how.
