Ikea boxes




I got these container at Ikea while I was in San Diego. I wanted this product for so long than I had to pack two of these heavy container in my luggage and bring it with me all the way to Virginia. Lucky I always leave for vacation with empty luggage because I know I always come back home with a lot of stuff!! It is just me?!
Anyway, yesterday I was able to assembly and decorate it and now I love it so much I have to find an Ikea store in Virginia and get some more of these cd boxes. My desk look so much better now, all the small things was laying on top of it now they have their own place.

New creation: Tulle Tree



I have to start this post admitting one of my obsession: "Tulle". I love this material it is so beautiful and fluffy and girlie. Every time I go to the fabric store I come home with yard of tulle so I can make tutus for my girls, decorate the house.......
I also use it all of the time to wrap gift baskets is cheaper and nicer than cellophane, you have to try it. This time I come up with a pink tulle tree with some glittered flowers. I used some store bought flowers that I dipped in glitter and I made the rest myself with vintage paper and beads( and I dipped these too on glitter).
This tree is for sale in my Etsy shop

Isabelle blanket


I am trying to finish all the project I have unfinished around the house before my husband return. He always make fun of the fact I start so many things and I get overwhelmed and do not finish all, so I want to prove him wrong this time. My sew machine broke but I was lucky to find my old one in the barn, is not the best but good enough to help me finish what I started. This is a blanket for my daughter Isabelle for her crib, she loves blanket and soft toys. After I am done she will have plenty of it.....

No now....


So, my sew machine decided to give up on me in the wrong time.I was working on these four blanket when it broke and it is very expensive to fix it (it's amazing the fact that fix a sew machine cost as much as buy a new one!). Anyway, I have to stop my sewing project until my husband come back home and we decide what to do about it. That mean no sew for awhile........ is a nightmare for me, sewing is an addiction for me I sew almost everyday! I guess this will give me time to do other project...

I Love this store...

While in San Diego I begged my mother and sister in law to take me to this beautiful store Paper Tales . This is the most beautiful craft store I ever seen and I wish I have something so cute close by. If you are in San Diego you have to go and see it.
