Everything looks best with a ruffle

I have very exiting news! My lovely man has been building me a new online home! Just for me!

My new website will be up soon and will have space for my portfolio and obviously my blog, no more fights with wordpress!! Yeyyy!! :)

It is going to be a bit tricky in the beginning because I’m not the quickest at learning how to use new programs, but hopefully it will be running smoothly in no time… Anyway, this is still a few days away, so… on to today.

I’ve had another amazing sewing class at my gran’s. Today was zippers and ruffles. 4 for zippers… but 10 for ruffles! :) Can’t wait to apply them onto some project, actually, I think I will be making everything frilly from now on!

Here some pretty ruffly stuff!

Sorry about the image overload, but they were all so gorgeous…!! ;)

To one of the best ones on Earth…

Playing catch up

I’ve been a bit of a blog-slag these last few days… Seems that I’ve been too busy with my “Perfect Housewife” scheme: sewing sessions, just my Privileg and me (slowly but steadily my seams are getting straighter, which is a source of great pleasure! ); sweets making with mum and then bread baking, which is awesome! It’s relatively easy and the smell of warm bread definitely pays off the effort!

Aside from my Stepford Wife training program, I’ve been working on a pattern design (the promised sneaky peak below) and planning some ceramic collaboration with my friend Andie. She’s a great fine artist and love her pieces, so can’t wait to see where our little project leads us! Will post with more details on it soon!

And in the meanwhile, here are a few things that I am loving today:

Girls with Glasses promo video.

cute, uh?

April’s edition of H magazine

And this song.

so beautiful…

Feww! That was a long post! Surely that makes up for a bit of my previous no shows, right?! ;)

Alphabet Lights, please!

I could kill for one of these!

Why is UO so unfair to only sell it in the US?!?!

Sad tears from Barcelona…

Sewing with Nana

Hi there!

These days are a bit crazy… just can’t believe it is already April! I need to step up a gear… or two! At the moment I have about a thousand unfinished designs lying around my desk, so I just need to stop coming up with new ideas and actually finish up some of the ones I already have! Will try to scan and post some of the sketches I’ve been working on very soon, see if that gets me started!

Anyway…

Today I had my second sewing class with my grandma! She is 93 and awesome! :) She was actually trained as tailoring teacher, so she’s amazing at explaining what is what and how to do about everything. And thankfully she have tones of patience!!! :) She has a lovely vintage sewing machine, pedal included. It’s the most beautiful thing, and works to perfection! That is the machine… because I turned out to be quite a masterful thread snapper! The good thing is that now I can truly say I know how to thread the old thing! :)

By the way, anyone’s seen this video? It is definitely not how I would decorate my home, but still think it’s quite amazing! Specially loving the bike and the neon signs (sadly I can’t say the same about those poor stuffed things…)

They are up! They are up!!

Easter Sundaying

jeezvanilla — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 20:14:43 +0000

Mmm… where did all that determination go?

I guess I got sidetracked with the smell of Easter chocolate… completely justified, right? :)

Good news is that the shop is finally ready to go, so Monday will be the happy reopening!! Yeyy!

A sneaky peak! This is one of my favorite necklaces, I’m absolutely in love with the little purse, it was one lucky thrifting find!

Anyway, hope you are having a lovely break!

Easter Sunday always was my favorite day. In the early morning I would run to the kitchen door to find that the Easter Bunny had left me loads of chocolate eggs spread throughout the garden. There would always be a basket worth of them, so every year we ended up eating chocolate eggs till May! These days there are no egg hunts, but we still indulged ourselves with some melted chocolate for breakfast! Mmm… chocolate…!

I wanted to post a cute bunny picture to end the post, but instead I found this:

Ha! Love it!

Happy Easter End!

Love, Adri
