LOVELY FABRIC!!!!




I am inlove. With some fabric :) This is quite easy for me as fabric is magical stuff to me. It transforms into your imaginations greatest ideas :) I have bought these two gorgeous fabrics and they are really good quality...they feel divine!

I have already started making and creating - I can't actually stop myself!! I had to walk away from the sewing machine last night...actually this morning at 1:48am as I was struggling to see what I was doing, my eyes were so tired! :) So first thing this morning I cracked on again and look at my first two projects from this fabric! :) I have family coming over next weekend and I thought a few throw cushions on their beds would be a nice welcome! I am going to run up another union jack cushion so there are two of them. I just hope the sunshine comes out for my guests as at the moment it is warm but pretty cloudy and depressing...good old unpredictable Spring weather!

I am looking forward to a weekend ahead of sewing and creating :) :) :) and generally relaxing before next weekends guests and madness I am sure! Happy Friday everyone!!!!

Updating the shop :)

I've been off for a few days with flu :( but today although I have been coughing and snotting all over the laptop (sorry honey!) I managed to update the Etsy shop with a few items that have been waiting to be uploaded, then move the shop and sort it out "technically speaking". Take a look guys and let me know what you think:

Snow..? In March...? IN BARCELONA???




Crazy week..... and crazy weather to match!


It's been one of those weeks that has been crazy, very strange things have happened...and unfortunately most of them horrid. Firstly, we started with this mad snow shower that covered Catalunya and left a lot of our teachers stranded in Terrassa, and not able to go home to Barcelona, resulting in two of the teachers bunking up at ours! Fun but a little bit stressful!


Then I found out my auntie had passed away, something I was devastated about, and am taking one day at a time. But it has been a funny week because of all of these things. Ever since my aunts passing lots of strange but lovely things have been happening...just daft things like getting on a course that was practically impossible...and I am thanking her for this. I feel she is trying to send me signs. I take comfort in this. I think a relaxed and crafty weekend is needed...hopefully I will have lots to show you in a few days time!! :)
