Tagging... :)

 

  

Started tagging things at home. At the book, the suggestiog of the emboydery is the word "rose". I decided to use simple letters and maybe, later, if I need to tag something concrete, then write the words. I think it would be grat with the words "kitchen", "home", and so on.

The most difficult part on this project was actually placing the grommets. This was my second time and I didn't really know how to use the hand machine and ended up pressing the grommet on the wrong direction and it got stuck. Now I should get myself a new one before I move on tagging again... :)

Here is a picture of the project I most liked doing so far: the dog.

  

  

I was so afraid of entreing the world of dolls and animals and this little dog just took away all my fears. I know it is not finished yet but since I decided that this will be a gift to my comming baby, I am waiting to know if it's a boy or a girl to complete it right ;o).

Hummm, maybe that's why it was such a pleasure to make this little dog... :)

Going to sleep now. 

Wish you all a great sunday.

The last days - Die letzte Tage - Os últimos dias

Long time no see... :)
Remember me on the beging writing that that one would be a busy week. Well, I start to believe that this is a busy month... :)
I am way behind from what I wanted but I did made some "progresses" this week. And I took pictures!!!

That`s what I am going to share with you today:

Strawberries / Erdberren/ Morangos 

 

 

  

Really cute and easy to make. The only thing I am still having a bit difficulty is with the leaves, they are still looking a bit strange...

Little button bag

 

  

This is one of those easy and fast projects that make every CRAFTer happy. Really really cute and usefull. I would rather make tones of them but, ok, I need to move on to the next projects :)

Sleeping Masks

 

  

I was afraid of this one too. I actually think I had a bit prejudice about those sleeping masks. Maybe because I could never sleep using one of those so I really thought they were useless.

But they are really uncomplicated and turned out so cute that I am even thinking about giving them a try ;o)

Days 8, 9, 10 and 11 - Tage 8, 9, 10 und 11 - Dias 8, 9, 10 e 11

The past days were pretty busy and less productive
buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut
one good thing: I HAVE A CAMERA AGAIN!

So, I'll be able to post the pics of the finished things but I guess that will have to wait until saturday, when I will have time to make the photos with natural light.

Ok, now to the projects:

I finished two. One easy and successful: the hearts, and another easy and that turned into a disaster: the rose.

The hearts turned out fine. I knew it would be ok since I've already done it before. So, no big difficulties.

The rose. Well, that is a special case. I was already afraid of doing it before I even started. Why?
Because I've tryed it before and it didn't work. Well, last time I tryed on my own, not following a pattern or a certain instruction so I though this time everything could be different because I promissed to be a good girl and respect ALL instructions.

Well, it didn`t work out! Again! Here is the picture, and proof, of how it turned out :( :

I must say that I was a bit desapointed with myself for not getting it right! But I will keep on trying so, PLEASE, if anyone out there has any tips, tricks, instruction videos or anything else to share that could help me, don't hetitate on doing it A.S.A.P.!! :)

Weekend is comming and I will have to force myself to sit on the machine and get some things done. I want to be back on track again.

See you soon. 

Days 6 and 7 - Tage 6 und 7 - Dias 6 e 7

The last days I was almost stuck at home. I couldn't go out. Which was bad because saturdays was just a beautiful day outside but on the other hand, helped me to be almost back on track again.

So, now to what I've been doing the past days:

Bag - it is almost finished. It's only missing the handles (that I still have to buy) but I think it turned out so nice! And it is also preatty easy to make. Ok, it can get a bit confusing because you have to turn the fabrics some times but I had a great help! I found an explanation video on the internet that showed everything and looking at it make things even simplier.It is in german but you actually don`t need to understand what the lady is saying when you habe the instructions. The moviments were the important thing for me.

Here it is: http://www.showtube.de/video/Bastelzeit-TV-28---Tilda-Handtasche-Special/ee8cb89df57b2685e6e6047d6bc75c00
Hope you have lot's of fun making it, because it really is so easy and nice to make!

Pear - this is one simple and super cute project. It's really easy and adorable. So, done! :)

Dog - You know, there are some projects on this book that I am really scared of, and I tend to let them to the end (I don't know it that is a much clever idea). And this was the first out of the scaries that I tried out. I've never done complicated "sutffed animals" just simple ones where you have everything together. You know what? It is really not that hard. Really. I really had fun doing it (it`s quite simple) and I think it`s one of the sweetest things I`ve made.

I decided to make it with colour fabric (I don`t have the Tilda brawn fabric). It`s a cute light green Gingham. It's the first thing I am sewing for the baby. Very neutral. :)

Day 5 - Tag 5 - Dia 5

Bussy day. Almost didn´t stay at home. Impossible to get near the machine!

Days 3 and 4 - Tage 3 und 4 - Dias 3 e 4

Strawberries are ready and I've started a super cute bag whic I think is going to look great!!!
Tonight again a busy evening but I'm hoping to get on the machine tomorrow afternoon.

I really hope that my recharger cable arrives soon so I can post the pics here.

Talk to you tomorrow again!


Eerdberen sind fertig und ich habe eine super süße Tasche angefangen. Ich glaube es wird total süß!!!
Heute wieder volles Programm am Abend aber ich hoffe, dass ich morgen nachmittag an der Nähmaschine sitzen kann.

Ich hoffe dass mein Aufladergerät für die Kamera bald kommt. Nur so kann ich hier ein paar Bilder "posten". :)

Bis morgen!!

Os morangos estao prontos e comecei a fazer uma bolsinha linda. Acho que vai ficar uma graca!
Hoje a noite esta bombando de compromissos novamente mas espero amanha a parde poder sentar à máquina de novo.

Nao vejo a hora do me carregador chegar pois so assim poderei postar as fotos aqui.

Ate amanha!!!

Day 2 - Tag 2 - Dia 2

Way to tired to do anything. Came home around 10p.m. and am going directly to bed!
I said the week wouldn`t be easy. Hope tomorrow is better!

Good night everyone!

Viel zu müde um irgendwas zu tun. Bin um 22.00 Uhr nach Hause gekomen und gehe sofort ins Bett! Ich habe gesagt, dass die Woche nicht einfach wird. Hoffe, dass morgen besser wird.


Gute Nacht zusammen!

Cansada demais pra fazer qualquer coisa. Cheguei em casa por volta das 10 da noite e to indo direto pra cama! Falei que a semana nao seria fácil. Espero que amanha melhore!

Boa noite pra todo mundo!

Day 1 - Tag 1 - Dia 1

Ok, yesterday was the first day. And it was a bit harder than I thought... First thing: to choose the project.
I stuck there for a while.

At first I thought of doing something easier, something that I have already done like the make-up bags. But then, Monday is my day off so, I have the time to try something new (apart from cleaning the house, washing and ironing the clothes etc...). Something new, ok, but then, what? I needed something "easy" in order to get back slowly because more than a month away from the machine is not a small deal. At least not for me ;oP.
I went through the pages and found it: the slippers! They are really cute and I thought they would be easy to make.

I chose the fabrics, had all the materials ready and read the instructions excited to get started. As I read I thought something was strange: why would I have to cut everything twice? Crazy, I thought...

You know, sometimes I tend to think that I am smarter then some instructions and in this case well, maybe Tone Finnanger or the translator might have done a mistake... As I am super clever, I cut everything only once and move on felling pretty smart. Well, this feeling didn't last very long.

When I was sewing the pieces together, I realized that both the author and the translator were right. I had to cut everything double because I am doing a PAIR of shoes. Silly me!

After that I promissed myself to follow every single step from the instructions (as long as I understand them) for the next 34 days.

The slippers turned out pretty cute, even cutier than I thought (pictures to follow, I forgot the recharge cable for the camera in Brazil but we have already ordered another one).

The only thing I would do differently is that I would probably try to put some extra stuffing (is that the right word?) on the bottom part, the one touching the ground. I think it was too thin only with the fabric and felt. But ok, that's me again rebelling against the instructions...

I moved on to another project since I know this week is going to be a hard one. This time I chose one that seems a real easy one: the strawberries. I started doing 3 small ones, but haven't finished yet (lots of clothes to iron) but I am hoping to get them done tonight.

I'll let you know more about it tomorrow.


Ok, gestern war der erste Tag. Und es war ein bisschen schwieriger als ich dachte ... Als erstes müsste ich mich für ein Projekt entscheiden. Ich blieb noch eine Weile stehen.
Zuerst dachte ich, etwas leichter, etwas, das ich bereits gatan hatte, wie das Make-up Beutel z.B.. Aber dann, Montag ist mein freier Tag, so habe ich die Zeit, etwas Neues auszuprobieren (abgesehen von der Reinigung des Hauses, Waschen und Bügeln der Kleidung etc. ..). Etwas Neues, ok, aber dann, was? Ich wollte etwas "einfach", um wieder langsam, weil mehr als einen Monat weg von der Maschine ist kein kleines Ding. Zumindest nicht für mich ;OP.


Ich ging durch die Seiten und fand sie: die Pantoffeln! Sie sind wirklich süß und ich dachte, sie wären leicht zu machen.
Ich habe denStoff ausgewählt, hatte alle Materialien bereit und habe angefangen die Anweisungen zu lesen voller Aufregung um loszulegen. Als ich gelesen habe, da dachte Ich, dass etwas seltsam war: warum sollte ich alles doppelt schneiden? Crazy, dachte ich ...
Manchmal neige ich dazu zu denken, daß ich klüger bin als einige Anweisungen und in diesem Fall, wer weiß, vielleicht könnten Tone Finnanger oder den Übersetzer einen Fehler gemacht haben ... Da ich super clever bin, schneide ich alles nur einmal auf und mache weiter mit dem Gefühl richtig Klug zu sein. Nun, dieses Gefühl hilt nicht lange an.
Als ich die Stücke zusammen nähte, wurde mir klar, dass sowohl der Autor wie der Übersetzer recht hatten. Ich musste alles doppelt schneiden, weil ich ein PAAR Schuhe nähe!
Danach habe ich mir versprochen jeden einzelnen Schritt von den Anweisungen zu folgen (so lange wie ich sie verstehe) für die nächsten 34 Tage.
Die Pantoffeln sind ziemlich niedlich geworden, eigentlich schöner als ich dachte (Bilder folgen, Ich habe das Kabel zum Aufladen der Kamera in Brasilien vergessen, aber wir haben schon ein anderes bestellt).


Das einzige, was ich anders machen würde ist, dass ich wahrscheinlich versuchen würde, mehr Füllwatte auf den unteren Teil, der einen den Boden berührt, zu tun. Ich denke, es war zu dünn, nur mit dem Stoff und Filz. Aber ok, das bin ich wieder rebellisch gegen die Anweisungen ...
Dann wollte ich noch ein anders Projekt anfange, da ich weiß, dass diese Woche schwer sein wird. Dieses Mal wählte ich ein, dass richtig leicht scheint: die Erdbeeren. Ich angefangen 3 kleine zu machen. Habe aber noch nicht abgeschlossen (Viel zu viel Wäsche zu bügeln), aber ich hoffe, dass ich sie heute Abend fertig machen kann.

Ich erzähle mehr darüber morgen.
